Is the raging dumpster fire that is 2020 making you yearn for the Ghost of Christmas past? Anchor Brewing, known for its tradition of releasing annual Christmas ales, has just the cure. This year, along with releasing a 2020 Christmas ale, the company is also bringing back some of its vintage brews.

Dubbed the "Christmas Ale Vintage 6-packs," Anchor Brewing is now selling 6-packs of beer featuring Christmas ales from 2017, 2018 and 2019. It's an opportunity for beer nerds to sample the different beers and compare notes on each year's batch, especially in contrast to Anchor's 2020 version of the Christmas ale.

This is the year that China took over our country with the help of corrupt politicians and billionaires while we watched helplessly and these girls call it a dumpster fire.
