That I know of- (can't let on exactly what they are) Bo Bristle, Kelly's, St. Mels, White Hag, Blackstairs and possibly Pokertree.

Ok- St.Mels are releasing an oatmeal and raisin stout. I haven't tasted it but it sounds interesting. I'm sure Liam will get it just right

White Gypsy have Yule Ol and Dungarvans annual Coffee and Oatmeal Stout...

Whitewater normally have a Christmas beer and I'd expect 8 Degrees to have something in the pipeline too. O'Hara's Winter Star is out now as well.

We'll have a draught Christmas beer this year too

Evenings are getting shorter and shorter, temperatures are dropping, so it's probably an opportune time to start keeping an eye out for fine Winter seasonals.

Any favourites out there for the longer evenings by the fire? Any suggestions for getting an Xmas cellar list together?

Might be a useful thread to update when/if Irish Micros start releasing their winter fares (but should be open to fine suggestions from across the globe)
