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!

Harvey's Christmas Ale

England / 7.5% ABV

Keeping their brewing traditions alive since 1790, Harvey’s brings us one of our favorite holiday brews. A decadent barleywine experience, this beer is, in a word, unctuous. Velvety fruitcake and spiced bread on the palate along with mulled wine and an underscoring of charred orange peel, dried plums, currant… this beer’s finish lasts almost as long as a Hallmark Christmas movie, mercifully without being nearly so saccharin sweet.

Aside from their beer though, we love what Harvey’s is up to: brewing with exclusively locally sourced grains et al from Sussex, solar panels on all their buildings, biodegradable packaging (save for the glass bottles, which is returnable to the brewery for reuse!), amongst other environmentally friendly decisions that are sure to keep Harvey’s safely off of Krampus’s naughty list.
