Abstract
The economics literature, while admittedly useful for several purposes, has all but ignored a key economic problem arising annually in late December. We are of course, referring to the choice of one’s Christmas beer. To address this, we test 50 different christmas beers to settle the key determinants of christmas beer appeal once and for all.
