Scratch that, I didn't lose it -- he just didn't understand that I had commited to buying it on Friday, rather than "sleeping on" the decision.
Oh, and it's not a steam. It's closer to a flavored porter or a stout or maybe even a brown. Steam is closer to an ale.
I think -- someone with more knowledge about beer can correct me, please.
EDIT: You know what, just scratch that, looks like I got it completely wrong -- the Christmas brew is an ale according to their website, and the steam is a lager according to wikipedia. So just...nevermind.
