After a busy night delivering presents, our Ol' Saint Nick needs a reward! We took our ever-popular winter warmer and aged it on an oak spiral that was soaked in whiskey to help warm our man back up!

Lil' Drummer Hop
Styled similar to the Romulan Ale, this guy will make you a happy ale drinker. Beautifully light in body, and packed with Chinook hops for a blast of bitterness that is topped off with a touch of Cascade hops. Simplicity at its best!

Parson Brown's Maple Ale
Nice medium-bodied brown with a low hop profile and the addition of maple syrup brought back from the motherland of Vermont. Take off your coat and get warm with this ale!
