• : A 3-time Best American Blended winner at the World Whiskies Awards and a Double Gold Winner at the San Francisco World Spirits Awards, this PX Sherry Cask Finish is a unique blend of flavors from the barrels of the luscious, syrupy Andalusian dessert wine, that complements the sweet oak and vanilla character of Breckenridge’s world-renowned rich, spicy, Bourbon Whiskey; it gracefully emerges from the wine’s ripe fruity vessels with complex layers of fig compote, marmalade, and licorice.

It’s impossible to miss this recipe's herbal, grapefruit, and stone fruit aromas.
  • : A double IPA bursting with hops! This recipe began as a specialty brew with friends from Rome Snowboards, inspired by the many Double IPAs found in their home state of Vermont. A fan-favorite from the start, this recipe brings citrus and pine flavors with sweet aromas of pineapple and mango. Watch out for that higher ABV, this Double packs a punch.
  • : Tossing a truckload of hops into its Hazy IPA at the end of its brewing process, Cloud Mentality brings an explosion of flavor and aromatics. This technique traps all the juicy tropical notes while maintaining a balanced taste and keeping the bitterness in check for a final result of a sweet stone fruit finish and aromas of citrus and tropical fruit.

• : A seasonal winter ale full of Blue Point’s favorite winter spices – vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Brewed to a cozy 6.4% ABV, Winter Warmer features notes of chocolate, root beer, gingerbread, toasted marshmallows, hints of sweet dark fruit, and a kick of classic holiday spice.

• : Unmatched, this Imperial Wheat lords over ales with robust wheat flavors, joining houses with Citra, Vista, and Idaho-7 hops, all while remaining true to its wheat sovereignty by tasting smooth, balanced, and bright.

, the award-winning brewer offers favorites for the holidays:

• : The OG of the family, Big Ballard Imperial IPA is a tribute to Redhook’s original stomping grounds. Living up to its name with a bold hop profile featuring a deep golden body and crisp finish.

• : Bold and juicy, with citrus and tropical flavors, a soft body, and lingering hops on the finish. Whatever you’re building, Hazy Big Ballard is the perfect way to cap off a long day and give you the reward you have earned.

• : A big beer with big IPA flavors to live up to the name but with a softer touch. Brewed with mouthwatering natural Orange, Pineapple, Starfruit and Coconut, this IPA puts you at ease with every sip, as if you were on a beach in a tropical destination.
