Nice option on the Bud Ami Ale. I had my first and only one of these last Friday, and thought, “These guys just fucked up. They gave me the ultimate ‘gateway’ beer. Follow a 12 of this with a Sierra Nevada pale, a mid level, such as the Heavy Seas Loose Cannon, and then Three Floyd’s Alpha King and they’ll start on their own beer adventures.

My dad and I shared a bottle of the Saison Dupont before Thanksgiving dinner. He dug it the most.

I think that all of the beers you have listed are great if you’re enjoying Thanksgiving with fellow beer enthusiasts. However, when sharing the holidays with family and friends who think Mich Ultra is “the good shit” you have to cater to the palates of those around you. I’ll take Warsteiner, some Three Floyds Gumballhead, and a pack of Guinness. Not my favorite holiday or my favorite beers, but it’s family.

I really like the idea of the Allagash White – I was thinking a witbier of some kind would work well – just did a Sweetwater Hummer this weekend that I thought would jive well with the feast.

I’m going all in with one beer this Thanksgiving for all guests. Kind of rolling the dice a bit, but I think the Mahr’s Brau Christmas Bock is the perfect choice. The bready, toffee, caramel, fruity, spicy mix I’m hoping everyone loves with the turkey and dressing and all the other good stuff. At a bare minimum I’ll enjoy it. Of course I’ll have plenty of other stuff on hand just in case, but I bought enough of that for everyone and it’s a 25 oz bottle to boot. Happy Thanksgiving Beer Babe!
