Brewery: Anchor Brewing Company
Style: Ale
Availability: Winter
Description:
Anchor Christmas Ale is an elegant holiday brew with notes of orange and honeysuckle, toasted malts and fine rye bread with well-structured botanicals. This full-bodied holiday ale pairs perfectly with corned beef on rye, whole grain mustard & cornichons and German chocolate cake. This is the brewery’s forty-eighth edition of their iconic Christmas Ale. Made with natural flavors, this festive ale features a new recipe and a new tree on the label every year, but the intent with which it’s offered is the same: joy & celebration of the newness of life. Trees symbolize the winter solstice when the earth, with its seasons, appear born anew. The tree on this year’s edition is a blue gum. Mary Ellen Pleasant planted blue gum trees in front of her San Francisco home in the 1800s. The home is long gone, but her landmark trees remain, a living tribute to the Mother of Civil Rights in California.
ABV: 7.2%
