‘Tis the season for the winter and Christmas beers to start being considered, and to that end Pelican Brewing sent out its annual holiday seasonal—Bad Santa Cascadian Dark Ale.

You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you better not pout and here’s telling you why—Bad Santa has arrived. Brewed for a limited time each holiday season, this mysterious dark nectar is filled with complex flavors and aromas. Toasted malt and roast character blends seamlessly with the alluring herbal hop aroma that comes from copious amounts of Fuggle hops. Bad Santa doesn’t care if you’ve been naughty or nice as long as this beer is on your list.

Two bottles arrived at the door, complete with mini Santa hats and a mini bag of “coal” candy. “Bad” Santa indeed.
