In it's rightful place.  Another brewery I've come to like is Tallgrass out of Manhattan, Ks.  They are doing some tasty IPA's and they have a great pub ale.

Wow, when did the Hanson Brothers get into brewing?

Edit:  nevermind; just checked Beeradvocate and evidently this one is brewed by Mustang....

In Wisconsin, at that.  Got a sixer when it came out, didn't bother to get another.  I thought Tom was being kind including it in the top 10 list. Malt was good on that one but for a beer called Mmmmmhops, I'd expect something that fell out of a pine tree.  Roughtail IPA and 12th round both are better candidates for a top 10 list than Mmmmhops.

When in the City. I always made a effort to stop in and have a bite to eat and do the beer sampler. Bricktown Brewery is a pretty cool place.
But I avoid the 96th street exit in Owasso like I do 71st. Might have to swing in someday after the bugs get worked out.

Seriously?  96th N in Owasso can be a little crowded sometimes, but it's not even in the same league as 71st South.

That was hilarious.

That was hilarious.

At least some of those beer names are real.

Very funny too.

Never tried any of them, although I have drank some of Anchor's offering, as well as Avery's "Dirty Blonde", which is a great session beer.  I might try one or ten of those.  

Not sure how you couldn't include Big Jamoke in there, since it's in season for Christmas, and has that cocoa aftertaste.  I could drink Jamoke all day long but would get nothing done.

EDIT:  noticed that the title was for 'spiced beers', so understand now why Jamoke wouldn't be in there.

Still...

Two of those knocked me on my "Big Jamoke" I loved em. Great taste and effect.

This year so far I have only consumed Anchor's 40th Christmas Ale.  It's available in 12 oz bottles.  I like it.

I have had Bridgeport's "Ebenezer", Great Divide's "Hibernation" and Avery's "Old Jubilation" in the past.  I liked them all.  High Gravity's "Old St. Nick Ale" is inspired by "Old Jubilation".  I brewed it one year and everyone liked it. It was High Gravity's Christmas Ale several years ago.

We do a brew we call "liquid gingerbread".  It's an English nut brown ale base spiced with typical spices you'd find in a ginger snap.  Instead of molasses, I use some dark brown sugar.  Anyone who has tried it loves it.  It's a nice session beer at about 5% ABV.

I'm with Hoss.  My idea in the past about seasonal beers was getting Big Jamoke or other seasonal porters, stouts, and heavys.  I'm pretty new to spiced beers.

The wife and I are big fans of the Shiner Cheer.  I stocked a case in the basement beer fridge the day before Thanksgiving and it's down to a bottle or two.
