Anderson Valley Winter Solstice - From the
first sip of Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale , your
senses will be aroused with the vision of a glowing
fire, warming the hearth and home, as gently
drifting snow flakes silently blanket the trees
outside. Each lingering sip will gently warm your
soul with thoughts of family and friends, gathering
around the table for the feast. Luscious, creamy,
smooth, and warming, this medium bodied ale is
brewed with Caramel and crystal malts to give it
just a hint of sweetness, then paired with our
private blend of holiday spice. Winter Solstice Ale
is great alone or as an accompaniment to any meal,
and it has been known to liven and spice up nearly
any social event.
Pyramid Snow Cap - A rich, full-bodied winter
warmer crafted in the British tradition of holiday
beers. This deep mahogany colored brew balances
complex fruit flavors with a refreshingly smooth
texture, making Snow Cap a highly drinkable and
desirable cold weather companion.
Sweetwater Festive Ale - A full-bodied,
high-octane brew capped off with our use of cinnamon
and mace. This beer will warm you all the way to
your bones. Brewed only one day a year for the
holiday season.
Sierra Nevada Celebration
- The long, cold nights of winter are a
little brighter with Celebration Ale. Wonderfully
robust and rich, Celebration Ale is dry-hopped for a
lively, intense aroma. Brewed especially for the
holidays, it is perfect for a festive gathering or
for a quiet evening at home.
Great Divide Hibernation Ale - Great Divide
cellars Hibernation until late October, when it
reaches the peak of perfection. This lengthy aging
process gives Hibernation its revered malty
richness, complex hop profile and hearty warming
character, which is perfect right out of the bottle
or cellared for longer periods of time. Hibernation
is a lively treat that really beats the winter
chill. This scrumptious, collectible, and imminently
cellarable ale is only available for six weeks each
year, from November 1 to December 15.
Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome - This holiday
brew is an amber-colored winter warmer that relies
heavily on the rich quality of English pale malt.
While its strength, at about 6 percent ABV, fits the
bill for an old ale, its light color is a bit
unusual for the style. It lacks the dark malt
character of some of the others, but makes up for it
with a clean, rich, malty backbone and the signature
complexity found in all of Samuel Smith's brews.
Young's Winter Warmer is a reddish-brown seasonal
that measures just 5 percent ABV. It has some dark
fruit esters and a malty chocolate aroma. It is
exceptionally smooth.
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
- This brew is Brooklyn Brewery's
rendition of the Imperial
Stout style. What is Imperial Stout? In the 18th
century, Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia,
asked for stout to be sent to her from England.
Fearful of spoilage on the long voyage to the Baltic
ports, the English brewers made the beer strong, and
added more hops as a natural preservative. It
arrived in perfect condition, and became known as
Russian Imperial Stout, the toast of the Russian
aristocracy. We use three mashes to brew each batch
of this beer, achieving a luscious deep dark
chocolate flavor through a blend of specially
roasted malts.
Santa's Private Reserve - Rogue's
annual holiday offering, Santa's Private Reserve, is
a variation of the classic Saint Rogue Red, but with
double the hops--including Chinook, and Centennial,
and a mystery hop called Rudolph by head brewer John
"more hops" Maier!This holiday elixir is brewed with
two-row Harrington, Klages and Munich malts, along
with Hugh Baird 30-37, Carastan 13-17, and Crystal
70-80 malts, plus free range coastal water and
John's proprietary top-fermenting Pacman yeast.
Hair of the Dog Doggie Claws - Doggie Claws
is a Barley Wine made in the West Coast style. Big
malt and hops make this copper colored ale one of
our most popular products. Produced in September and
October and released in November, this Beer will
improve for years to come. Alcohol: 11.5% by volume.
