Christmas beers, also known as Winter Warmers, are a
tradition dating back at least 2,000 years, with the
ancients making highly intoxicating brews to celebrate
winter’s Saturnalia. This brewmaking evolved into a holiday
celebration when medieval monks, the world’s first
professional brewers, pulled out their finest ingredients to
produce soul-warming styles for the occasion. Today brewers
continue the custom, either with centuries-old recipes or
newfangled concoctions with spices and herbs, enabling
thirsty beer fans to put aside their everyday favorites each
winter and deck the halls with the world’s most flavorful
ales and lagers, brewed especially for the holidays.Beer
expert Don Russell taps into holiday cheer with a look at
the world’s best—unusual, exotic, rich, one-of-a-kind
brews—detailing the styles and flavors that will leave beer
lovers in a froth. From Smuttynose Winter Ale to Santa’s
Butt to Troegs Mad Elf to Left Hand XXXmas, there’s a beer
for everyone, even a Hanukkah beer, He’Brew Jewbelation.
Including funny tales and trivia behind the beers, homebrew
recipes and food recipes with Christmas beer as an
ingredient, and instructions for building and cellaring your
own vintage holiday brews so you can enjoy Christmas 365
days a year, Christmas Beer will put even the most
curmudgeonly beer drinker in the holiday spirit. Cheers!
