You never if you'll be lucky enough to find a Christmas beer on store shelves when Christmas in July rolls around. Sometimes, my luck holds out and I'm able to nab a wintry-spiced bottle amongst the sweltry July days but, last December, I made a snap judgement to not push it.
So, when was collecting the final beers for my big 2018 Christmas Blow-Out, I picked up an extra bottle: Holiday Ale from Rockmill Brewery. One glance at its ABV told me it'd keep for a good while and I squirreled it away in a cool, dark place for today.
Wouldn't you know, the bottleshop I grabbed this from still has two bottles of it on the shelves! Maybe if this is good enough, I'll go back for another one and keep it for next year's Christmas in July post. Let's find out if this is a likelihood, shall we?
