History

Brewed in honor of the Christmas season, these strong Belgian beers are intended for Holiday cheer. Robust and rich, this beer is balanced by gentle hopping while being accentuated with spices added to the boil. These Abbey inspired beers are complex and creamy and are to be shared with family and friends.

We have taken our Belgian Christmas Ale aged it in Orange Curaçao barrels and shortly before blending we added clove and all spice. The result is a beer very reflective of the Christmas season!
