Name that beer!

I need some help. My latest beer is finally ready to drink and I need a good name for it.

Dennis and Casey helped me bottle this beer on 12/7. The beer is an attempt at a spiced "holiday" ale. It's got honey, orange peel, cinnamon, and some ginger in it. It's got a pretty good flavor. Light and sweet. I think I can taste some of the orange.

Anyway, the name on the recipe was "Winter Warmer" and I've just been calling it my holiday beer. "Winter Warmer" doesn't exactly follow the precedent established by my last beer, the Ol' Scrot Porter. I need a better name than wussy warmer for this beer. You know, something like Reindeer Butt Beer.

Next up in the beer queue is to remake the holiday beer with some cloves in it this time. And then a cherry wheat for Adam. I still need to figure out how to make hard cider for Jeremy if I can.

You'll have to save me a cherry wheat for June, that's my favorite!

I'm a little slow on the draw here, but I think you should call it Blue Christmas.

Damn, Travis! You're a genius! How have I missed the obvious? Keep this up and you'll be head of marketing at Blue Brew.

I may not have any cherry wheat from this batch left in June, but I'm going to make some more over the summer. I'm going to try a recipe that calls for fresh fruit. Fresh cherries are amazingly expensive in the dead of winter!
