Affligem Noel

This is as good as it gets for Christmas beers. It's a Belgian abbey ale with a rich, dark copper color, slightly malty but still crisp and dry taste, good mouthfeel and tons of head. It also has 9% ABV so be sure to give some to your grandparents or goofy aunt or uncle at Christmas dinner and watch the fun..

Best served with: Pride

Anchor Steam

The Beerman is sure he is going to hear about this, but he has never had a bottle that wasn't skunky. If someone at the brewery could send the Beerman some fresh Anchor Steam or direct him to a location in the Great Lakes area that has it on tap he would be willing to give it another chance. The Beerman is magnanamous after all.

Best served with: Red meat or pasta (or skunk cabbage if it didn't travel well).
Skunky alert!

Aspen Edge

Beavis Mode On: You said ass. huh uh huh uh. Beavis Mode Off: Coors Light isn't weak enough for you? If you're that into counting carbs, drink Diet Mountain Dew instead; it tastes better and has caffeine. Disclaimer: The Beerman likes to make fun of big breweries but he has nothing against Coors (other than they produce some crappy, milquetoast swill). Blue Moon and Killian's are pretty good.

This beer was discontinued on May 24, 2006, but almost nobody noticed.

Best served with: Apologies.
Hasta la vista, baby
