Admittedly, I broke into my beer advent calendar a day early because I have shit going on tonight, and I wanted to drink a beer while watching the IU/North Carolina game last night. The first beer in my beer advent calendar is one of my favorite winter beers: St. Bernardus's Christmas Ale. I had the pleasure of going to Belgium a few months ago, and I soaked up as much of that country's wonderful beer as I could, including several from St. Bernardus (though obviously not the Christmas Ale, as it wasn't available yet). St. Bernardus is a former Trappist brewery located in Watou, a small town in West Flanders on the French border. I've enjoyed every one of their beers I've had, and their Christmas Ale is a top notch Belgian strong ale.
