While the Christmas holiday has officially sailed past, the cold months (or should I say just "days" being as this is Charleston?) are just settling in, and that means seasonal brews abound.

Over at the Charleston City Paper, T. Ballard Lesemann has put together a twelve-parter review of seasonal brews dubbed "The Twelve Beers of Christmas" to carry from December 25 through January 6. 

As such, two parts are now out — they're linked below.

• Day 1: Samuel Adams Winter Lager at a zesty 4.4%
• Day 2: Local brewery Coast's Smoked Rye Pale Ale at 4.6%

Expect an update on the 12th day of Christmas to this list, or sooner if one of Lesemann's reviews particularly catches our collective eye.
