Sipping in a Winter Wonderland

Fat Head's Brewery

Alpenglow
7.5% ABV
Ruddy orange in color, this unfiltered wheat beer enjoys a spicy aroma that hints at raisin, clove, banana and bubblegum. Full bodied yet very easy drinking with a toasted caramel malt finish.

Cran This Be Happening?
4.1% ABV
A sour ale just in time for colder weather, yay! Conditioned on over 200lbs. Of cranberry, pomegranate, and cherry purees.

Muskellunge Brewing Company

Black Buffalo Schwarzbier
5.5% ABV
Schwartzbier is a dark lager that originated in Germany. The malty flavor, which hints of raisin and chocolate, is balanced with Tettnang hops.

Black Crappie Oatmeal Coffee Stout
6.5% ABV
With a heap of coffee malt, a generous helping of oatmeal, and the addition of local Carpe Diem coffee, this beer provides an unmistakable coffee flavor, and a deep, rich color. Sip. Savor. Enjoy.

All I Want for Christmas is a Seasonal Brew

Aeonian Brewing Co.

Replacement Santa

Hops tetnang, nugett, saaz, and notes of Christmas joy!

Codex Brewing

Unparalleled Glory
9.0% ABV
Based on one of Jason’s first homebrew recipes and refined over the years our take on this holiday tradition is brewed with honey, fresh ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Fat Head's Brewery

Holly Jolly Christmas Ale
7.5% ABV
Once upon a frozen evening way up north, a sweet honey named Holly inspired our Jolly Fat Man (as only Holly can) to create this festive spiced holiday ale. We think you will enjoy his holiday creation with it's aromas and flavors of Christmas day. Sweet malt, ginger, honey and cinnamon spice. Sip this by the fire with your significant other. Who knows, maybe it will lead to a little inspiration of your own. From our Jolly Fat Man to yours…

Pimp My Sleigh
10.5% ABV
Intricate aromas and flavors of sweet dark malt, dark fruit, raisins, figs, anise and spicy phenols. This beer will sting the toes and bite the nose, but no worries, the horse knows the way.

Maize Valley Winery & Craft Brewery

Mule-Tide Carol
7.8% ABV
Late in the boil, additions of brown sugar, molasses and honey boost the gravity level while spice additions including cinnamon, allspice, clove, coriander, vanilla bean and bitter orange peel lend the cheerful holiday character. This beer is warming and a little boozy when finished. Should be allowed to warm slightly before consumption to make all of the malt and spice character come through.

Muskellunge Brewing Company

Striped Bass Xmas Ale
6.0% ABV
Our Christmas “Ale” is a Traditional Bock spiced with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, among others, and nicely finished by Tettnang Hops delivering a unique and smooth after taste. You won’t find another Xmas Ale like this!

Paradigm Shift Brewing

Rudolph's Revenge
8.0% ABV
This spiced and herbed Christmas ale is perfect when paired with a cinammon sugar rim!

Sandy Springs Brewing Company

Frosty the Stout Man
6.8% ABV
White stout-thats right! Light in color, dark flavor. Brewed like a stout, however with light malt and the addition of green coffee, cocoa nibs, & vanilla beans.

Sandy Claus
7.1% ABV
Christmas Ale, brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Happy Holidays!
