Roaring fires, malt beer, ripe meat off the bone! What could be better? With the holiday season and winter both in full swing, now is the perfect time to kick back by the hearth and enjoy some of the best holiday seasonal brews craft beer has to offer.  Join Lucas at the tasting bar this Thursday, December 19th from 4-6pm to try these tasty seasonal beers!

Summit Winter Ale

A locally popular winter seasonal, this is one of the more drinkable winter warmer style beers, clocking in at a reasonable 5% abv. Ruby-brown in color and featuring a wonderfully bready, malty sweetness accented by a light presence of spice and balanced by a light hop presence, it’s a go-to for winter fridge beer and a crowd-pleaser at holiday parties. SALE $12.99/12pk, Reg. $14.99

Great Lakes Christmas Ale

Ohio’s finest winter warmer! A personal favorite among the style, this beer leans more heavily into the wassail-style winter warmer, with a healthy dose of honey and a much more robust spice profile, largely thanks to a hearty dose of cinnamon and ginger. Slightly heartier and richer than Summit Winter, boosted by an increase in abv to 7.5%. This brew will warm your bones. $11.99/ 6-Pk

Shiner Holiday Cheer

The favorite holiday beer of Texans the world abound. True to their German and Czech roots, the Spoetzl Brewery’s winter seasonal is a dunkelweizen, a wheat beer characterized by a full body and complex and rich malt profile with a yeasty creaminess. To top it all off, they brew their version of this traditional German beer with pecans and peaches. Caramel malt flavors and a big dose of pecan and peach round out the flavors of this easy drinking holiday party in a bottle. $8.99/ 6-pk

St. Bernardus Christmas Ale

Brouwerij St. Bernardus has been making exceptional abbey style ales for decades, and are responsible for one of the finest Belgian quadruples you can buy. Unsurprisingly, their special holiday version is a seriously exceptional beer. An enormously complex flavor profile of everything from roasted chestnuts to aniseed, rich dried fruit, bakers chocolate and caramel, all supported by a substantial 10% abv. This seasonal take on a tremendous traditional Belgian quadruple is a delight to be had by all who enjoy beer.  $12.99/ 750mL
