Christmas (Beers) in July - The Bruery 12 Days of Christmas Tasting

Send us Fan Mail

Happy Holidays, y'all!

Recently we got together to celebrate Christmas in July.  We've heard the term for a long time and just thought it was something that was really nothing, but apparently it has an origin story and we'll share that with you.

To celebrate we did the only appropriate thing.  On the 25th of July we sat down and cracked into all 12 of the Bruery's 12 Beers of Christmas, in order.  Way back in 2024 Brian acquired this set and it took us a couple of years to come together and enjoy but here we are.

We'll share our tasting notes and favorites.  Let us know yours.  Cheers!
