Watching the flurries out the window...tell me, what winter beers do I need to try during the season!

What are some of your favorite "winter" beers?
 
Boulevard Nutcracker Ale is pretty solid. I also enjoy Shiner Cheer! if I'm in the mood for something a little more sweet.
 
Shiner Cheer was my "good luck" beer for the early part of last hoops season. I suppose I should go pick some up soon.
 
I was just looking at some reviews online and "Celebration" keeps coming up big...can't say I have heard of it before. Will certainly give it a shot.

Celebration is by Sierra Nevada. I believe it changes each year, but is good.

Another is Samuel Smith's (an old UK brewery) 'Winter Welcome'. (has a purple label)
 
Love Sam Winter Lager & Shiner Cheer.

Last year, I tried Brrr by the Widmer Brothers Brewing Company and LOVED it. Just outstanding. I think they are out of Wisconsin. Can find it at Hy-Vee I believe.

FWIW, I'm having a Bent River Brewery (Illinois) Sweet Potato Ale right now. Fantastic. They have this on tap at the Keg Stand. Really, really good. Bought at 6 pack at Hy-Vee.

I don't really understand winter beers. Celebration for example is an IPA, Shiner Cheer is a wheat, etc. For winter I usually try to stick to stouts.
