Sat, 17 Dec 2011

I just came back from the live nativity at Lambie Funeral Home (Rowland and Rhawn) and it's definitely beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

Our draft list continues to feel like Christmas too. Corsendonk Christmas Ale (30 liter) replaced the 20 liter barrel of Affligem Noel. Like Affligem Noel, Corsendonk is a Belgian Christmas Ale. The official description goes "On the palate this silky smooth ale is predominantly malty, with smoky, spicy and citrusy notes, and a long, lingering finish that is lightly tart and malty."

The Lambies have staged a live nativity every year for the last few years. It's a one-night only evening of live Christmas music and of course a reinactment of the nativity, complete with (in no order) shepherds, kings, sheep, a donkey, the holy family, and a camel. Seeing a live camel in Holmesburg is pretty nifty. If you missed it this year, or prior years, make sure to put it on your radar for 2012.
