The Season’s Best Christmas Beers

Posted by American Entertainer | Posted on 20-12-2010

Christmas is a special time. People are just a little bit nicer. Food tastes a little better. To mark this hallowed season, each year brewers around the world create a special breed of brew – Christmas beers. Whether ale, doppelbock or stout these brews tend to be warming draughts, rich with spice and heady with deep flavors. They’re made for sipping by the fire with friends and family rather than shotgunning, guzzling, or even quaffing at tailgates and in man caves.

Port Brewing Company

Brewing a special beer for Christmas started hundreds of years ago, before there ever was Christmas as we know it. Most accounts seem to agree that in Scandinavian countries they would start brewing stronger and heavier beers in preparation for a mid-December festival to celebrate Jolner (a Norse god). These beers were known as Julöl. When the tradition was brought over to England, the pronunciation changed and became Yule Ale.

Kourtney Kardashian may be the hottest looking Kardashian; granted, these sexy swimsuit pictures running in Maxim India are of unknown date, but they show the diminutive sister, famous for reasons nobody can actually answer, looking all boobacious and sexy and downright desirable.

Sure, we all know Kim Kardashian, big time celebrity, sexy reality star, plowing her way through the NFL, enjoys warm showers; and, anybody whose ever seen Cloverfield can spot Khloe Kardashian from a mile away, stomping down the streets of Manhattan, throwing cars out of her path, but Kourtney Kardashian truly is the forgotten fame-whoring sister, and she even made a baby and everything. More to the Egotastic! point, I think I’m not alone in saying that Kourtney Kardashian may be the hottest looking Kardashian; granted, these sexy swimsuit pictures running in Maxim India are of unknown date, but they show the diminutive sister, famous for reasons nobody can actually answer, looking all boobacious and sexy and downright desirable. I may regret pumping up any of these three Kris Jenner silicon-infused daughter-robots, but, for today, I am really ogling Kourtney with extreme delight. Enjoy.

Blindfolded, 1,500 miles from home, 70-year-old Paul White was being driven along a twisting mountain road to an unknown destination. No, it wasn’t a kidnapping, or even a mystery novel. It was a mystery vacation.

From the moment White left his house in East Sandwich, Mass., until well into the 15-day vacation his wife spent two years planning, he didn’t know where he’d be going or what he’d be doing.

The same thing happened to Heather and Brian Cornwell, of Jacksonville, Fla., after her father arranged a 10-day “scavenger hunt” vacation as a wedding gift. Ditto for the hundreds of women who have traveled with Pink Bus Mystery Tours out of Fargo, N.D.

In typical Emirati fashion, a self-proclaimed seven-star hotel in Abu Dhabi has unveiled what they claim to be the world’s most expensive Christmas tree. A Christmas tree that costs $11 million (£7 million) and is thought to be the most expensive ever decorated has been unveiled at Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace hotel.

The $11 million symbol of the season has become the latest extravagance at the Emirates Palace hotel, which boasts its own marina, heliport and a vending machine that pops out small gold bars . The thirteen metre high faux evergreen, which itself is ‘only’ worth just under £6,500, is ornamented with gold and silver decorations as well as jewellery containing 181 diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones which make up almost all of the tree’s value.
