It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Anchor Merry Christmas & Happy New Year (Our Special Ale)

Beer #23 is a holiday beer classic from one of the OG craft breweries:  Anchor's Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, aka Our Special Ale.  Every year, they change up the recipe and there is a different tree on the label.  This year's label featured the Western Joshua Tree, and the beer was as delicious as usual.  Even though they switch up the recipe, it's always a winter warmer, and it always has some amount of holiday spice to it.
