Holiday Season 2023 – Day 25 – Operation Secret Santa from Ethereal Brewing

Secret Santa is often a recipe for Christmas disaster. But it would be so much better if the secret was holiday craft beers like this one from Ethereal Brewing…

Holiday Season 2023 – Day 18 – Jägerhütte from Further Beer

Next up is a winter warmer with umlauts aplenty, Jägerhütte from Further Beer in the St. Johns neighborhood of Portland.

“A deliciously malty winter warmer with perfectly balanced spices. Grains of paradise, orange peel, and cinnamon.”

Holiday Season 2023 – Day 14 – Winter Warmer from Guinness Open Gate

An Irish-American spin on a holiday ale comes to us from the Guinness Open Gate in Baltimore.

“This seasonal brown ale is brewed with whole nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, and hand-scraped vanilla beans. The malty base brings out the caramel notes, and hints of baking spice give it a robust but balanced finish.”

Holiday Season 2023 – Day 13 – Winter Migration from Farmers Brewing

Out to the farm we go. To the California heartland and Farmers Brewing for the Winter Migration.

“Winter Migration is a Baltic porter in partnership with the California Waterfowl Association. We are really proud to brew this beer with grains from our fields that provide habitat and food for the many types of waterfowl that arrive every year.”

Holiday Cheers – Day 22 – Nutcracker from Wye Valley Brewery

Winter Warmer, to me, is synonymous with England and a pastoral pub, so let’s get a little British and say Happy Christmas with Wye Valley Brewery.

“An army of five malts bring forth this brew’s rich, smooth and nutty character. Local hops add balance and help make it a real Christmas cracker!”

Holiday Cheers – Day 10 – Winter Warmer from Machine House Brewery

One of the most highly regarded of the British styled breweries is Machine House Brewery in Washington State and they have a seasonal that I wish I could get my hands on here in SoCal…

“This lovely full-bodied ale was brewed with lots of Rye and Crystal Rye Malt for a rich, boozy sweetness and a complex, tasty finish.”

Santa’s Pint Glass – Day 8

Our American Trappist brewery, Spencer goes a different route to Santa’s glass with an amber lager. They have brewed it with honey and spices to add that festivity.

Christmas Beer 2019 # 20 – Spencer Winter Warmer

For today’s holiday ale, we get a little bit of the flannel look from the only U.S. Trappist brewery, Spencer who bring us a honey spiced amber lager as their take on the Winter Warmer.

Christmas Beer 2019 # 9 – McMenamin’s Kris Kringle

Back to Oregon for a little jingle from Kris Kringle that McMenamin’s describes as a ” hearty and robust ale with a big and bold malt complexity. Toasty, caramel and fig flavors make up its sturdy foundation while two hop varieties added in five different additions deliver magnificent and intense hop flavor and aroma.”

Christmas Beer 2019 # 4 – Avery Brewing Sweater Party

Mulling spices are a great Christmas Ale tradition and except for here in SoCal, sweaters are too. Avery has combined them both for their latest winter warmer.
