Christmas ale
Holiday spiced beer
Christmas ale is a seasonal beer brewed for the winter holidays, typically darker and stronger than regular ales, often spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or orange peel.
Breweries release their Christmas ales in late autumn, and the recipes vary widely—some emphasizing malty sweetness, others warming spices.
We picked up a six-pack of Christmas ale for the party.
