Favorites included Christmas Ale by Brouwerij St. Bernardus, Père Noël by Brouwerij De Ranke, and Three Cranes by local heroes Mystic Brewing. The Noel de Calabaza, an intense sour brew by Jolly Pumpkin, was a pucker-y surprise for several tasters, but there really was no Grinch in the pack of 22 beers.
