Christmastime is beer

I'm not sure why, but I love hops. In moderation, though: I find I enjoy only one bottle at a sitting, and then it has to be drunk by itself, sans any food to get in the way of the hoppy experience. The hops come out in full force for the winter solstice, featured heavily in most brewer's Christmas offerings. I've always looked forward to Breckenridge's Christmas Ale, but this year have fallen for the Full Sail Wassail. A recent review in the Denver Post points out it's not really a wassail, but it's not really like I care very much about that point.
