Holiday Season 2023 – Day 17 – Brewhouse One from Boulevard Brewing

We head to the Midwest and Boulevard Brewing for their holiday Brewhouse One offering….

“Barrel-aged for 11 months in Tomcat Gin barrels, then rested on fresh juniper berries for 3 months, this quintessential holiday ale features crisp holiday spices with clean spruce essence. In addition to the pine and juniper, the wintry spice character is abundant, with hints of allspice, clove, and stonefruit esters, with light berry notes on the finish. All in all, at 9% ABV, it’s the perfect beer to bring to a party!”

Coming this month (or next, depending upon distribution), is Saison au Genièvre part of the Les Quatres Saisons series from Left Hand Brewing. It is “brewed with native Colorado ingredients, each beer in the collection highlights a unique addition. Saison au Genièvre features juniper berries to bring a mild tartness to the dry and crisp farmhouse-style ale.”
