Dave and Kevie bring the HPR listeners another festive edition of the Beer Garden, with the focus turning to Belgian Christmas ales. Kevie discovered a scan of the original advert in the Journal De Charleroi from 1896

Translation: Christmas beer has arrived at the Arabian horse and the globe, these two establishments so famous for Anglaise beers. Go and taste it, because Christmas is only sold for a short time.


In this episode Dave samples Baby Jesus by Brouwerij 't Verzet and Kevie tries out La Binchoise Speciale Noel .

In the states, several breweries have Christmas Ales. My favorite is Old Fezzwig Ale. Not very spiced, malty, has a chewy quality. Thanks for your show.
