The 9th Beer of Christmas is Very Bad Elf from Ridgeway Brewery in England. It’s imported by the Shelton Bros. Brewery in Belchertown, MA which is an amazing name for a town, especially a town with a brewery. We didn’t really care for the beer, but we sure looked cool tasting it….that is….if sun glasses inside at night and weird light up santa hats are cool. They are right???

i’ve never had bad elf, but I’ve had Troeg’s MAD elf (PA), and that one is pretty bad in my opinion. It has a lot of what I would call “holiday taste” and is way too sweet and flavored. It is, however, 12% alcohol, and as thus a favorite round Christmas time in the Eastern Pennsylvania region.
