All my kegs have at least some beer in plus a fermenter full to go in the first one emptied. + Some bottles at least 100 pints in total again for me.
 
Given it's really only me and the wife that will be drinking it should have plenty to last into the New Year. On the non-home brew front took advantage of the Tesco 25% off wine offer so a fair few bottles of red delivered last night, run out of the Prosecco I'd picked though so Aldi for that at some point. Also some Leffe, Vocation Life & Death IPA (8 cans for £9), bottle of nice LBV Port. Case of lager and case of ale from Aldi. The spirits cabinet is already well stocked and I got the missus some more gin for a Christmas present.

And home brew, not even halfway through the keg of Bulldog Triple Tykes, and got another keg full of beer conditioning for after that, doubt it will get tapped until the New Year. Quite a few bottles of Oaked Rum Ale, Brewferm Abdji, a few Brewferm Christmas left, a few AIPA, 16 bottles of turbo cider, and a few WOWs.
Think I might have a problem :movingbeer:

Happy Christmas :groupdancing:
 
Actually no... I got to that position where I had loads in stock so took my eye off the ball and didn't start brewing again til a bit late. So all I've got is 40 or so bottles of brown and a few left of black IPA. I've also got a couple of crates of turbo cider but I won't be drinking that unless I get desperate.
 
Felt slightly panicky, I hoped to get a ‘real’ lager made a few weeks ago to add to the range but didn’t get round to it.

In reality got plenty.....Got a Mosaic/Armarillo on keg, half a PB of Porter (need to sort gas out though as my HB cyl just ran out before someone lets some air in) and about 20 bottles of Wiezen plus a couple of random odds. Got 5 bottles of Merlot I bottled a few weeks ago too.
 
I find I don’t tend to drink that heavily at Christmas, the kids are too exhausting! I’ve got plenty of hibiscus ale, imperial stout and Belgian dark strong on the Homebrew front. I hoped to have more variety but I got lazy and haven’t brewed for a while. I’ve also got a few nice commercial beers I’ve been saving including some 750ml ‘sharers’ that I have no intention of sharing! And a box arrived today from Honest Brew addressed to my wife so that’ll add to stocks at some point I assume!

Same here
 
I have:
  • 38 bottles of mosaic SMaSH, and 4 MKs and 10 bottles of EKG SMaSH currently carbonating (I will hopefully be able to drop the temperature at the weekend so will have a week and a half to condition before NYE)
  • A MK of saison
  • 25ish bottles of Belgian Dubbel
  • 12 bottles of Corona

I dropped the ball when I moved house - ended up doing 2 brews in 3 days with no temperature control in mid November.
 
I've got a few bottles of Big Drop Pale Ale and a couple of bottles of their stout in. Need to be ready to do the hospital drive at any point. :confused:
 
I only started brewing in October, so for the most part, no -

I've a few bottles of AG#1 & 2 to drink, and AG#3 should be ready for new year

But I've a number of different things from Beer 52 in stock, plus I expect I'll pop down to nearby Bingham's Brewery and treat myself to a few extras acheers.
 
Sadly no...

I have a "Shot Away IPA" (leftover hops) getting kegged tomorrow night which I'll burst carb and serve on Xmas.

Very unprepared this year. It is my first year of AG so I never appreciated that planning in advance needs heavy consideration as I've not had to brew to a deadline before.
 
Hell no. I just kegged and force carbed a pedigree clone 11 days after brewing... and started drinking it after half and hour and it's quite a lot like many pub pints, but I'm knocking that on the head. And yesterday bottled three wheats but I know they'll be fine for Christmas day as I've had wheats be great at 6 days. Got a few others but they'll have to wait.

There's 46 litres of wine to be bottled but I really can't be arsed. I might just keg them, or at least keg the chardonnay.

As long as I don't have to resort to the depressingly large stock of banana wine that lurks in the store room like a funnel web spider then I'm ok.
 
18l of kegged euro hopped non sessionable ipa/pale ale or whatever I want to call it for the climbing clubs new year party. Its crystal clear but needs to travel north to skye. And some cider in bottles.
Got my belgium quad for the house plus a decent variety of commercial beers.
Picking up my campervan brewery investor beers on saturday.
