This season is one of the finest times to crack open a cold beer... but what makes Christmas beer, well... Christmas beer? What's this style all about? I was joined this week by Bret Kollmann Baker from Urban Artifact to crack a few open and figure it all out. Bret is easily the biggest Christmas beer nut that I know... so it only seemed fitting for him to help me navigate these waters. We talked about what makes this style so special to folks who go bonkers for it each winter, and the nostalgia factor's importance in it all.

It's a great episode... If I do say so, myself.
