It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas … themed beer. Alameda Papa Noel.

I’ve never liked how quickly after Halloween the Christmas stuff starts showing up. Poor Thanksgiving always seems to get the shaft.

This week however I have no complaints, as Mr.Q was kind enough to bring over a fine bottle of Alameda Papa Noel’s Olde Ale. Unlike some nasty winter themed beer, this tasty ale was the epitome of ‘holiday easy drinking.’ In color and flavor, it was like a light red ale. Tasty, without any of the bitterness reds tend to have.

If you can find some … (here comes the santa pun) … I ho-ho-ho-hope you pick some up.
