12 Beers Of Christmas

IBQTEE1 · 12-02-2009, 09:35 AM

So, a local pub by me called Durty Nellies is having their 12 Beers of Christmas. They have a punch card, once you get your 12 punches you get a souvenir t-shirt and pint glass.

Last night I started with Delirium Noel, Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Three Floyds Alpha Klaus. Needless to say I was a little buzzed.

3 down 9 more to go. Thinking that Sunday I will be able to get a couple more punched.

Sounds like fun Kristin

Looks like you preferred the Floyds

Jbailey · 12-03-2009, 07:34 AM

Go for it Kristin!

I had one by me that you needed to try 150 beers to get a shirt and trophy. One of the most delicious/difficult challenges I've ever been in.

I thought about doing that but after 3 I was pretty well buzzed. Can't imagine what 12 would have done to me!!

I have to try that FFF one! I asked my SIL to pick me up a sixer of it as my Christmas present.

The Delirium is nice as well as most things 3 Floyds as well. Nice selection for a bar.

Can you get a prize every night?

Might be hard on the liver and you would need someone to help get you and your prize home.

I've had/like the Delirium, haven't tried the other two. What are the other 9 on the list?

The Delirium Noel is 10% alcohol, the Great Lakes is 7.5%, and the Alpha Klaus is also 7.5%. A "normal" beer is about 5.5% alcohol, so if you add it up, you had close to 5 "normal" beers worth of alcohol consumption.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well, last night I was able to drink 3 more beers. I had the Avery Christmas Jubilation, Dieu du Ciel! Solstice d'Hiver (Barleywine) and the Goose Island Christmas Ale.

They are getting in a bunch more beer this week. Everything we wanted to try them seemed to be out of.

I am half way there!!

IBQTEE1 · 12-07-2009, 10:22 AM

OK, I must still be drunk. But I forgot to add the Petrus Winter Bier. Only 5 beers to go.

This is real cool! Shot for more!

Fixed that for you.

Hope to drink a couple more this weekend.

Coach Deg · 12-13-2009, 06:04 AM

This post got me going. I went down to the International Beer Garden last night. Had a 2 Delerium Noel, Delerium Tremors, 2 Bellhaven Sotch Ale, and Lindemans Rasberry Ale. It was a good night.
