Harpoon Winter Warmer Holiday Ale

6% ABV | 23 IBU
_Harpoon Brewing_ - Boston, Massachusetts
“The first seasonal craft beer release on the east coast, Winter Warmer has been our holiday tradition since 1988 and has since become a New England classic. Combining the subtle sweetness of caramel malt with holiday spice additions of cinnamon and nutmeg, it’s both hardy and satisfying yet surprisingly easy-drinking. Cheers!”

Val-Dieu Winter Ale

7% ABV | 12 IBU
_Val-Dieu_ - Aubel, Belgium
“Winter Ale is a warm amber yellow color with a fine white foam. Taste the haunting sweetness of selected spices and port wine and a highly pronounced aroma of yeast and malt.”

Proper Pour Imperial Stout - Cabernet Cask 2024

12.5% ABV | 23 IBU
_Boulevard Brewing_ - Kansas City, Missouri
“Our world-renowned barrel-aging program has done it again. Returning for year 3, Proper Pour continues to blend the lines of our barrel-aged series with this distinctly wine-barrel finished bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. Aged in 20yr bourbon barrels for almost two years before spending 5 months in mid-coast Californian red wine barrels.”

N’ice Chouffe

10% ABV
_Brasserie d'Achouffe_ - Houffalize, Belgium
“N'ice CHOUFFE is the winter beer from the Chouffe Brewery. We recommend that you enjoy it from mid-October to mid-February, preferably by the fireplace. It is a dark beer, slightly hoppy, spiced with thyme and curaçao, and made using orange peel. It has an alcohol content of 10%. N’ice CHOUFFE goes well with any winter dishes.”

Shiner Holiday Cheer

5.4% ABV | 22 IBU
_K. Spoetzl Brewery & Distillery_ - Shiner, Texas
“Our old-world Dunkelweizen is brewed with Texas peaches and roasted pecans. The flavors of this dark wheat ale are enhanced through krausening, ensuring a smoothness that makes this brew all the more satisfying.”
