We are only ten days away from Christmas! For today’s Beer Advent pick we travel to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home of Lakefront Brewery, established in 1987. Every year they brew up a strong (9.6% abv) lager, their Holiday Spice Lager Beer.

Our version of a winter warmer: brewed with cinnamon, orange zest, clove and generous amounts of honey. Pours a deep amber to ruby color with an off-white head. Aromas are fruity and spicy, with a slight floral undertone from the lager yeast. The flavor is smooth, full and spicy, balanced by the bite of Mt. Hood hops and a substantial, warming alcohol character. This is a full bodied beer, making it a holiday taste sensation that will warm your bones on a cold winter night.

Great with holiday meals; really cuts through the richness of fatty meats like goose and beef roast. Also a nice treat on its own…try sipping our Holiday Spice Lager by the fire on a cold Wisconsin evening and create joyful holiday memories that you’ll hold on to.

Reading the spices used just sounds like this is Christmas in a bottle, and this would be the perfect beer to include in your Christmas goody box along with presents, candies, oranges, and nuts!
