Holiday Beers

I have finally started to break out of my south Dallas shell and go to north Dallas in order to purchase beer. I have to admit that the Cedar Hill area is the worst area in order to buying beer if your taste exceeds trash such as miller light or Budweiser.By gosh I started shopping at central market in north Dallas and spent well over $100 on just beer. My new found pick-ups include Delirium Noel. While I have been putting away delirium while I was in college, the Noel came on pretty good although you could taste the alcohol in it. I was introduced to Shiner Cheer while visiting my brother in Austin and Ive been searching around for it so I picked it up as well. It's a good beer but after having 5-6 in a night, I started to get tired of it already. I was really psyched to get this beer so that was kind of a let down. What's becoming of my new fav, Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale.
I've been in love with SN beers since I first discovered them by my older brother when he lived in Ca and before PA even carried them.Celebration has become my favorite to sink down on a nightly basis. It's got that hoppy pale ale flavor that is just about right and is prevelant in all their brews.Others that I have been dying to get are, Sammy smiths Oatmeal Stout, Delirium ale, and the Saint Sebastiaan's line of beers. I started drinking Sammy Smith's courtesy of Bowman and Russell's while on college. Man i miss that place. 100 beers either on tap or in bottle, Lord knows something like that is to die for here in Dallas. Saint Sebastiaans by Sterkins has become my favorite desert beer. Seriously, I could drown myself in Golden ale and be happy.
So my message for Christmas, forgo the gifts and excessive spending this yea and do all of us a favor, support your local micro brewery and throw down a few for me. Lord knows I will be.
