With flavors that dance on the palate including chocolate and cinnamon, a hearty Texas-made beer in a six-pack is a great Christmas gift idea. Yule Shoot Your Eye Out, made by Karbach Brewing Co, not only tastes great (with hints of cinnamon, ginger, cocoa, nutmeg, and orange peel), but it’s a coveted treat to sip around the tree in parts of south Texas. Or how about French Toast breakfast beer by 8th Wonder Brewery? (No, this doesn’t necessarily mean you have to drink it at breakfast, but whatever floats your boat…) Brewed with cinnamon sticks, maple syrup, and whole vanilla beans, this beer could give your standard mulled wine a run for its money in the Christmas spirits category!
If something a little more “traditional” is your style, consider a bottle of Shiner Holiday Cheer. Brewed using roasted pecans and real Texas peaches, the company touts it as a great fireside beverage. Who doesn’t want to relax with a good beer after having put out the gifts, baked six dozen cookies, cleaned the house for company, and defrosted the turkey? Having the time to relax in the rush is nothing short of a Christmas beeracle!
