Beer Advent

2022

We hope you enjoy the beers we have put together for our 2022 Beer Advent! We have sought out new, limited and seasonal beers to share with you throughout December. We thank you for your support of our local shop and would love for you to tag us on Instagram with your favorites.

We've represented many of the best cans and bottles from our local craft beer scene, alongside some ancient, traditional brews from across the planet, and even included some new and unexpected flavors and styles as well. With an array of IPAs, a smattering of sours, some crisp clean lagers, some more obscure and nerdy lagers, plus all the roasty malty dark beers to keep you cozy this holiday season.

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Counterweight HO HO HOpe

Cheshire, CT / 6.4% ABV

The resinous quality and piney flavor immediately send you into the holiday spirit with characters not far off from a fresh cut Christmas tree. There are nice hoppy notes reminiscent of grapefruit and stone fuits with a very slightly malty finish, while orange pith echos down the chimney of the pallet. It’s light and airy, much like powdered snow melting in your mouth. This is an ideal beer to enjoy with a warm, home-cooked meal and family or friends. 

Each year, profits from this beer contribute directly to different youth communities. This year 100% of the profits go toward the Tommy Fund, which since 1953 has been helping support the families whose children are being treated for Cancer by paying rent, mortgages, or allowing a family the financial freedom to take off from work to care for their children. The clinic is one of the leading pediatric cancer centers in CT. So in essence, for drinking this beer, you’re doing a good deed!
