I think it's been inconsistent from year to year but maybe my taste changed.
Just spoke with my BIL in Oregon, who had a Jubel on Nitro over the weekend....and said A) it tastes more like he remembers it tasting a few years ago, and B) it was really good.
Jubel was my favorite holiday beer for years, but I recently find it to be too malty. Could be them...or me...just didn't really enjoy it much.
I think it's been inconsistent from year to year but maybe my taste changed. That Wreck the Halls stuff... I had two cans last night about an hour apart and that was way too much. In a so-good-it's-dangerous sort of way. Glad I didn't have any plans.

So I was cruising thru Costco yesterday and I usually get a case of Jubelale when it comes out but saw this "Christmas" beer from Full Sail and thought hey okay. It's pretty awesome. 8.5% so take it easy, but malty, not radically hoppy but it's an imperial IPA so it's hoppy enough. Really a top flight beverage. Despite being a "holiday" offering, it has no pumpkin spice or cranberry/nog/spice just a good stout beer well made.
One of the first micro-breweries I ever went to...around 1990. Amazing location... Hood River. Their beers have been hit or miss for me for a while, but they used to make a "fest" version of one of their "Session" beers that were released around the holidays and were really good. Gonna pick up some of the above if I see it.

Almost reached for that one, but saw the Batsquatch and my 5 year old grandson is fascinated by Sasquatch so I got that instead to give him one of the cans next time I see him.
for some reason Batsquatch is $2 cheaper than Dead Guy here. Dead Guy isn't really a summertime favorite but Batsquatch is popular in my house.

I'll have to try that one if I come across it somewhere. The "Dead Guy" is usually the only Rogue selection I see around here for some reason. I'll have to try out some specialty bottle shops in the area.
