I think this belongs in the "Area 51" section of the Deck.

Are we playing jeopardy? Things that will happen in nov 2009 or march 2010 for $100

a) When will Romeo and/or Phil Savage be replaced?
b) When will the edit button return?
c) When will Christmas Ale become affordable? (probably never)
d) When will the Chef Geoff forum be renamed to Chef Jeff?

Charlie,
Christmas Ale becomes very affordable when you learn to brew your own beer. All together it takes about 4-5 hours out of the time you actually brew it, bottle it, etc. The fermenting is what takes weeks, but it's worth the wait.

My brother just brewed his own 5 gallon batch of Christmas Ale. My mom looked at him and said "when you're making millions selling beer, please remember me!".

It will be interesting to see how many people view a post titled "f". What does it mean? What is the message? Why does Christmas Ale cost so much and why do I like it?

I used to brew my own beer and loved every minute of it, except for sterilizing the bottles. That was a pain. I’d come home from work and my apartment would smell like fermenting beer....what a sweet smell. :D That was before I had a house, kids and was single.

When I build my three car garage/woodshop/brewery I’ll get back into it. Only this time I’ll be kegging it with limited bottles to give away to friends. I’ll be looking for some cheap second hand semi-commercial equipment in the next few years. Maybe even open my own brewery at some point down the road.

I am not a fan of Christmas Ale. To dark for me. I like lighter German beers. Never did now why it cost so much. I guess they charge that because people still buy it.

Ok I am going to admit it...I have never had Christmas Ale. We have a ton of it here, but I have yet to drink it. *hangs head* I just know when people come over they want the Christmas Ale.

Missy, it's not the greatest thing in the world. I think people buy it just because it's stronger than the regular stuff.

When we lived in Germany, we lived directly across the 410 year old brewery/castle that brewed local beer from local hop supplies. My German best friends all had farms and land on which they grew hops. I always tagged along and watched the picking process as a kid. The entire town would smell like a brewery, it was awesome.

While Great Lakes is not bad, nothing comes close to the beer in my hometown. But, it can't be found anywhere! Luckily, Rozi's carries a beer that's brewed about ten minutes from my home town. My family always gets it for special occasions and holidays.

Christmas Ale = Overrated

I dont get the appeal (and I am a beer person and drink all kinds). I think it gets you messed up pretty quickly, but that is about it.
