New Winter Holiday Craft Beer Variety Packs

The Winter Holidays are ON. And American craft brewers are celebrating things with fun new variety packs that make buying beer in bulk cool again especially around Christmastime.

Stone 12 Days Of IPA

Stone Brewing is renowned for its IPAs and their advent calendar-themed all-IPA holiday package is the absolute best.

This year’s case of pre-holiday cheer includes 12 individual beers spanning re-brewed fan favorites, current best-sellers and never-before seen beers making their early debut, a 12-day journey of IPAs.

“This isn’t just a box of beers dressed up for the holidays,” explained Maria Stipp, Stone Brewing CEO. “We asked our team members – our biggest Stone super fans – what they’d be most proud to bring to their holiday gatherings. It wasn’t easy to execute, but who can deny this set of beers!? It’s an incredible lineup that reflects the entire journey of Stone’s IPA obsession.”

Highlights include:

• Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA (8.7%), Stone’s most requested archive beer of all time returns!
•  Stone Ruination IPA (8.2%) – The legendary first full-time bottled West Coast Style Double IPA that helped to propel a whole movement of ruinously hoppy beers.
•  Stone Go To IPA (4.7%) and Stone Neverending Haze IPA (4%) – Two low-ABV favorites of years past, making their sub-5% comeback.
• Stone 27^th Anniversary Lemon Shark Double IPA (9.6%) – A beer mighty enough to honor 27 years of Stone’s commitment to hop exploration with a unique cast of New Zealand ingredients.

Alongside other IPA favorites:

• Stone IPA (6.9%)
• Stone Delicious IPA (7.7%)
• Stone Hazy IPA (6.7%)
• Stone Delicious Citrus IPA (7.7%)
• Stone ///Fear.Movie.Lions Hazy Double IPA (8.5%)
• Stone Delicious Double IPA (9.4%)
• Stone Tangerine Express Hazy IPA (6.7%)

 

Short’s Hoppy Holidays Variety Pack 2023

Leaves and temps aren’t the only things dropping in much of the country.

Short’s Brewing is once again upping the ante on the traditional holiday 12-Pack concept by offering an even more bountiful package with 18 uber-hoppy beers for the holidays…A huge undertaking for the Elk Rapids, Michigan-based brewery that takes up tons of tank space and two days spent hand-packing each individual case.

Short’s gracious 18 pack of six varieties returns these “blasts from the past” that will pair especially well with the winter holidays.

Short’s 2023 Hoppy Holidays Variety Pack features…

• Slurm (6.5%): Light orange in color with a prominent haze, Slurm is a hazy New England style India Pale Ale with big pineapple and mango aromatics and bright tropical fruit flavors.
• Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster (9.8%): Featuring a slight yeasty sweetness, that changes everything, Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is a Belgian-style Double IPA brewed with Australian Galaxy hops.
• The Curl (8.1% ABV): One of the first Imperial beers made at Short’s, this American Pilsner has an appealing clear, bright, golden straw color. Hefty doses of hops create a pronounced dryness that seamlessly blends with the crisp, clean finish.
• Stellar Ale (6% ABV): Medium bodied, and impressively well balanced, this American Pale Ale is a showcase of snappy grapefruit flavors, a playful spiciness and the perfect bitterness.
• Superfluid (8% ABV): Short’s Superfluid is a massive Double IPA that was first brewed in 2013 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
• Good Humans on Nitro (8.3% ABV): Bursting with layers of caramel and toffee flavors, Good Humans is a very big and bold Brown Ale that is dry-hopped with Simcoe and Golding hops and infused with creamy nitro.

Available in November in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Colorado Short’s Super Hoppy Holidays Variety Pack is a holiday gift for craft beer lovers that will keep things festive all-season long.
