Brewers Pour Their Present to You

Thirty years of tradition from Anchor Steam. Every year slightly different both in the bottle and on the label. See all thirty designs.

Clipper City Loose Cannon

Year after year Clipper City (Baltimore) has produced great hoppy Christmas beers. Loose Cannon continues that tradition. Loose Cannon has over 3 pounds per barrel and is hopped 3 ways - in the kettle, in the hop back, and dry hopped. One of their Heavy Seas line.

Full Sail Wassail

Full Sail Brewing has brewed Wassail since 1988 for the season. Wish it made it to the East Coast.

Leinenkugel's Apple Spice

A ton of apples? Appleton Post Cresent said "It tastes just as advertised: like fresh-baked apple pie, with just a taste of cinnamon and pie crust. It is sweet, but not cloying or syrupy.
". May have to visit Wisconsin.
