- Serving Temperature: 40-45º F

- Hops: Hallertau Tradition
- Malts: 2-Row, Vienna, Munich, Carafoam
- Country: United States
This multiple Can Can Awards Gold Medal winner and 2016 U.S. Beer Tasting Championship Grand Champion presents a slightly hazy coppery-golden color capped by a voluminous head of long-lasting off-white foam. On the nose, look for prominent grassy, hay-like hop notes with underlying earth, hints of stone fruit, and a bit of yeasty spice. On the palate, we found this Helles to be remarkably complex and interesting. The malty core is quite tasty...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: New England-style IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 60
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
- Hops: Azacca, Mosaic, Simcoe, Idaho 7
- Malts: 2-Row, Wheat, Malted Oats
- Country: United States
New England-style hazy IPAs are all the rage these days, and Southern Barrel's foray into the style is a particularly tasty version. Pouring a very hazy orange color with a robust and persistent cap of foam, this brew looks good in the glass as it leaves sheets of lace as we drain it. In the aroma, look for big, juicy hops offering citrus and tropical notes, soft floral tones, hints of pine, and touches of stone fruit. The story continues in...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Session IPA
- ABV: 5.6%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
- Hops: Citra, Simcoe, CTZ
- Malts: Washington 2-Row, Munich
- Country: United States
Silver medal winner at both the Washington Beer Awards and Sip Northwest's "Best of the NW," this IPA from Sumerian presents an attractive golden hue capped by a head of off-white foam. As one would expect for a Citra-focused IPA, there's a prominent citrus character in the aroma delivering an amalgam of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit. Look also for additional hints of pine, honey, and citrus blossoms. On the palate, we enjoyed this brew's...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Czech Pilsner
- ABV: 5.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 23
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass
- Hops: German Tettnang, Czech Saaz
- Malts: German Pilsen Malt
- Country: United States
This Bohemian-style pils pours a brilliant pale golden color capped by a head of bright white foam. On the nose, look for the classic aromas one expects from a pilsner hopped with traditional Tettnanger and Saaz noble hops; we picked up soft floral tones plus some herbal spice, underscored by mild bready malt notes. That maltiness comes through fairly robustly in the flavor with prominent crackery notes forming a sturdy backbone. Those...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Double IPA
- ABV: 8.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 80
- Serving Temperature: 47-52º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
- Hops: Columbus, Chinook, Centennial, El Dorado
- Malts: 2-Row, Vienna, Munich, Cara Munich
- Country: United States
This double IPA pours a pure, clear amber hue topped with a robust head of lasting and lacing foam. On the nose, we picked up big and bright hops front and center, delivering citrus juice and candied citrus peel akin to orange and grapefruit, softer tropical fruits reminiscent of mango and light pineapple, flashes of melon and stone fruits, touches of pine, hints of berry, and some boldly dank, herbal spice. Malty caramel undertones are...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Double IPA
- ABV: 8.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 95
- Serving Temperature: 47-52º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
- Hops: Cascade, Centennial, Mosaic, Citra
- Malts: Washington 2-Row, Munich, C15
- Country: United States
Winner of several awards including a Gold medal at the Washington Beer Awards and a Double Gold from Sip Northwest's "Best of the Northwest," this double IPA has certainly delivered the hardware, but can it deliver the flavor? You bet! Pouring a medium amber and capped by a well-lacing head of beige foam, Hopruption offers up quite the expressive hop aroma. Look for notes of candied citrus, ripe tropical fruits, perfumed floral tones, and some...
- Bottle Size: 440-ml
- Style: Irish Red Ale
- ABV: 5.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 23
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Challenger, Admiral, Boadicea, First Gold, Wye Golding
- Country: England
Don't be alarmed if this beer opens with a bit of enthusiasm. Wexford is the first beer we've featured with a pressurized nitro "widget," a popular feature among some beers from Britain and Ireland. Definitely pour this one into a glass to observe the rich, dense, light beige mousse of very persistent nitrogen foam that forms atop this deep reddish-amber brew. On the nose, look for caramel malts and well-developed notes of apple and stone...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: English Pale Ale
- ABV: 5.6%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Country: Ireland
This "Belfast-style" pale ale presents a bright golden-copper color, lightly hazy, with a head of just off-white foam. On the nose, we picked up bready and lightly toasty malts overlaid by woody, tea-like hops offering additional notes of stone fruit, touches of hay, and an intriguing note of mild, but fragrant, spice. Take a sip and look for a nice core to present itself composed of lightly toasted bread and hints of caramel. We found the hop...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Geuze (a blend of young and 3-year-old lambics)
- ABV: 8%
- Serving Temperature: 42–49° F
- Suggested Glassware: Lambic Tumbler, Flute, Tulip, or Chardonnay Glass
- Country: Belgium
We always love revisiting these releases. Boon’s vintage Geuze Mariage Parfait is one of the most expressive lambic offerings out there: 100% spontaneously fermented, partly aged for three-plus years in oak, and sporting a best-by date 20-plus years into the future. Traditional, very tart, funky and complex—with a balance of acidities and fruits that evolves with time. Boon’s occasional vintage release of this blended beer is one of our very...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Blend of Belgian-Style Quadrupel Ale & Old Ale aged in Bourbon Barrels
- ABV: 12%
- Serving Temperature: 45–54° F
- Suggested Glassware: Chalice, Tulip, Snifter, or Pinot Glass
- Country: United States
It’s kinda crazy to think that a brewery’s been doing a series of one-off limited releases for over a decade now—and that the project has finally reached its endpoint. (Heck, many small businesses would’ve been happy to make it as long as 5 Golden Rings...) But here we are: the final release in The Bruery’s 12 Days of Christmas series. We were fortunate to have gotten on board with this project early on, offering Rare Beer Club...
