Beers that go with turkey

[Bubbles]

Anyone planning on drinking anything unusual, rare, expensive or otherwise special over the Christmas? This week I'm going to start collecting a few nice bottles to drink over xmas.

And the perennial question... What are ye all planning on drinking with the turkey on xmas day?

I'm thinking a nice dry saison will cut through all that rich food nicely. Homebrewed saison, of course...

I've had a Westvleteren 12 the past 2 years as a treat but I might try something different this year. Not sure what though.

I'm ashamed to say I've never had it! I might try picking up a bottle of that.

I've got a 2011 bottle of Goose Island Bourbon County that I really should open.

Going to enjoy a bottle of Simon Lamberts barley wine.

I read somewhere that a Tripel goes well with Turkey. I'm going to try it this year. Westmalle Trippel is a stellar example, and always available in O'Briens.

I'm willing to give that a try. 

I have my own little tradition of starting Christmas Day drinking with a nice kriek. Pretty arbitrary choice, nothing to do with christmas, but there you go..

This may give people a few ideas ,but trying to find some of them locally is probably going to be a pain . Suppose if it wasn't so late and you had a few people chipping in the p&p wouldst be as harsh .

Kriek and goose are a serious flavour combo

As a dessert option Kriek works really well with Chocolate Profiteroles, take a Profiterole and wash it down with the Kriek,  it magically turns it into Black Forest Gateaux

Sour and high carbonation would be best with fatty food while a nice Belgian quad would go well with something like turkey I think.

I'm probably gonna crack into one of the sours I have hidden away. Might open that bottle of GB's Eternalist

Keep it until next Christmas - you won't  regret it!

I might keep mine for next year as well. I picked up the christmas pack as well this year. I must pick up a few belgian beers for the Christmas dinner, and perhaps a bottle of saison.

Dark lagers would work as well. A nice Munich dunkel or Bock would be nice. Even a Weizenbock. Schneider Weisse Aventinus is easy enough to get hold of.
