It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Begyle Flannel Pajamas

Tonight, I went with a local brew -- Begyle's Flannel Pajamas Oatmeal Stout.  Begyle was started a few years ago by some homebrewers, and they put out some pretty solid beers.  I am honestly not sure if their beers are available outside of Illinois, but if you get a chance to sample some of their wares, I recommend them (although the website could use some updating).  Flannel Pajamas is a nice, nutty, malty oatmeal stout that isn't too strong, so you can enjoy many of them on a cold winter's eve.

Name:  Flannel Pajamas Oatmeal Stout

Good for drinking if:  you need something pleasant to drink to take your mind off the fact that your 21-month-old son has figured out how to get out of his crib, but is not mentally competent enough to handle a big boy bed, so he greets you with a smile and gibberish about eight times each night after you put him to bed
