Spiced ales are something of a holiday staple, with roots in wassail and mulled beer, and while many modern yuletide specialties rely on a wide variety of flavors and additions, one of Pennsylvania’s classic holiday beers adheres to traditional Christmas spices for a seasonal delight—Sly Fox Brewing Christmas Ale.

Sly Fox infuses its Christmas Ale with ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves—warming spices that evoke holiday desserts. It’s 6.3% alcohol by volume and the description says:

The holiday season is officially here and we’ve got the beer that will bring all the cheer! Sly Fox Christmas Ale is brewed with expressive mulling spices that swirl and mingle in this full-bodied red ale. (via Facebook)

It’s a seasonal delight that should pair well with cookies, fruitcake, Christmas pudding, fudge, sugarplums, and more. And don’t forget to slip a can or two into the stockings!
