The Winter Holidays are approaching and American craft brewers are addressing things with a festive roster of new beers you’re gonna want to have around at Christmastime.

Ho, Ho, Ho (Littleton, CO) –  The chill of a Colorado high-country winter calls for a beer with extra flavor and strength and Breckenridge Brewery has one beer in particular that answers that call.

The fermented equivalent of good fire that the brewery has been releasing at this time of year since 1993, Breckenridge Christmas Ale is a 7.1% ABV Winter Warmer with a sturdy malt backbone and rich caramel and chocolate tones.

Icy winds and freezing waters replace the summer skies and warm sand. And  with that in mind Montauk Brewing has returned a seasonal classic that will withstand winter’s wrath.

Crafted with a  smart mix of hops that should pair well with smoldering fireplaces and coastal squalls, Montauk Cold Day IPA is a robust 6.7% ABV  India Pale Ale with a sturdy sense of place and season.

Sweater Weather (Athens, GA) – Terrapin Beer Co. is getting ready for the winter holidays  with something they guarantee will keep thing warm as the temperatures drop. Bursting with rich, aromatics reminiscent of freshly baked gingerbread and toasted caramel, Terrapin Sweater Weather is a 6.8% ABV Winter Warmer with malt sweetness that envelops the palate and bright roasted chestnuts, cinnamon, and nutmeg notes.

Danker Beer For the Darker Season (Atlanta, GA) – Winter’s coming and SweetWater Brewing is addressing the changing season with its dankest beer ever. Part of the brewery’s impressive Dank Tank Series, SweetWater Fresh Sticky Nugs is an uber-dank & piney 8% ABV India Pale Ale that is crafted with the absolute freshest menu of Amarillo, Citra, Krush and Simcoe hops.
