  • THE TOOLS

    The familiar citrus and wheat characters of the ale are complemented by the warmth of the spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange peel for a festive brew that’s perfect for the season. 

  • THE TRADE

    Using some of our favorite Christmas spices we brewed this hazy white ale with distinct fruity citrus notes and a warm spiciness. The blend of malts contributes a medium body with a subtle sweet note while the wheat provides a slight crisp character. The lingering spice notes leave you wanting more.

  • THE LEGACY

    Brewers have long brewed specialty beers for the season, often due to  ingredient availability but also to celebrate. We wanted to create a crisper, quaffable beer for holiday celebrations.  Thus, we began with a Belgian white ale but replaced the traditional coriander with familiar and warming holiday spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange peel to resulting in a festive brew destined to become a new holiday tradition.
