I love winter warmers and winter seasonal releases. What are your favorites from your state? (or local area)

I'm from Oregon and my favorites are
1) Jubelale, Deschutes brewery
2) Sleigh'r, Ninkasi brewing
3) Abominable, Hopworks Urban Brewery

(Honorable mention to Festivale, Terminal Gravity Brewery)
 
Hangar 24 Warmer is the only one I've tried, and it's delicious. Spruce-a-licious!

There are so many great ones in Ca to get to know..
Anchor Christmas ale
winter solstice, anderson valley
celebration, SN
the bruery 4 calling birds
port santas little helper
lagunitas sucks
list goes on
 
Love me some Lagunitas Sucks, but I would hardly call it a winter warmer... Also had some Celebration last week but it's not a warmer either. Winter seasonal beer does not necessarily mean a warmer - Sucks and Celebration are both IPAs. Warmers are malty and spice-heavy from what I understand.

I look forward to 21st Amendment Fireside Chat and a local one, East End Snow Melt.
 
Currently drinking No-Li Winter Warmer. Im not really a fan of their other brews but this one is fantastic! Dangerously drinkable for 7.5%.

Widmer Brrrr is great, but falls under the "winter warmer IPA" category

Oakshire Ill tempered gnome is a seasonal favorite


On the other hand, I had Burnside Brewing Permafrost this weekend. Thin and overly sweet.

And this year's Anchor Christmas is horrendous!!!
 
I used to love Widmer's Snowplow. So much so that I contacted them and ask them to start making it again (They stopped a few year's back). They told me that others had called w/ the same request, but they didn't intend to start producing again. Bummer. Best Milk Stout I've ever had...
 
My top 3 local winter warmers, in order are:

1) St. Arnold's Christmas Ale (mmm...this one only gets better with age)
2) Shiner Holiday Cheer (another great beer from Spoetzl Brewery)
3) Abita Christmas Ale (not from TX, but a good festive beer from Abita Brewing Co. in LA)
