Draft Beer Update:

Breckenridge Christmas Ale replaced 2010 Troegs Mad Elf. Wow! Three halves of Mad Elf gone in just over 24 hours. Fear not though we still have two more remaining for this year. Before they go on we bring you Breckenridge Christmas Ale, an American Strong Ale from Colorado. They say it is the fermented equivalent of a good fire. Come in a give it a taste to see if it tastes like burning wood.

Philadelphia Winter Wunder replaced Boulder Never Summer Ale. Philadelphia Winter Wunder,PBC's winter seasonal, is brewed with a goodly amount of traditional holiday fare - plums, dates, cinnamon, allspice, clove, and a sprinkle of ginger to give it that warm, fuzzy holiday feel. Not to many kegs were put out so this could be your last chance of getting this exceptionally tastey winter beer.

Yards ESA replaced Victory Lager. Yards ESA is this weeks Beer Season Beer. It is an old favorite here, which is why it is the beer of the week. I will just give you Yards' description and spare you from my rantings. "Our flagship is keg-conditioned ale with a sack full of British East Kent Goldings hops in each keg. This ale was created to offer true cask conditioned ale flavor without the hassle of extensive cellaring. True British cask conditioned flavor is a complex, lively balance between malt, hops, and fruity esters."
