\"Xmas2018<\/a>Not that we could use any comfort, but the semi-solid firmament of winter seasonals can be pretty reassuring. Over the course of a year, there aren\u2019t too many seasonal beer releases that I still keep up with, which I think makes me busy and normal. With so many signals firing in beer and beyond, I\u2019m just not getting into seasonal habits as often as I used to. My wife and I got into snagging around February each year\u2014back when we lived on the east coast within distribution range. Victory\u2019s Summer Love, a golden ale that\u2019s right up there with Firestone Walker\u2019s 805 for us, remains a summertime staple. And we typically snag Sierra Nevada\u2019s annual Oktoberfest collabs. Beyond that… it\u2019s mostly winter seasonals.<\/p>\n

Between picking out things to share with family over the holidays and\/or just having things to look forward to as we head into drearier months (though appreciating the rain in NorCal at the moment), one tends to make deeper attachments to end-of-year seasonals. We picked up a case of Sierra Nevada Celebration as soon as it hit shelves, as we do. Ditto for a sixpack of Anchor\u2019s annually tweaked Christmas ale. Going forward, any seasonal habits we pick up will probably be at our go-to breweries here in Sonoma County. Have you been keeping up with seasonals the way you used to? Which winter releases are you still looking forward to each year?
