The Twelve Beers of Christmas 2015

After five years and 60 different beers (61 total beers but I accidentally reviewed one beer in two different years,) I decided to make a list so as not to repeat a beer. In the process, this year's theme became a simple one: beers from breweries that I've never reviewed before.

It didn't take long to realize that many beers I enjoy come from breweries that have never appeared on the Twelve Beers list before. Let's fix that!

All beers were purchased at Spec's in Lubbock, Texas, and the total for the 12 six-pack (actually, one is a four pack) was just under $110.

Buy them now and we'll start drinking and reviewing them on the First Day of Christmas (aka, December 25, 2015.)

Your beers, in the order we'll drink them, are ...
