‘Tis the Season to Share Craft Beer

CraftBeer.com Brings Holiday Spirit with Winter Seasonals

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–It’s the most wonderful time of the year—for craft beer! Winter
seasonals are ideal for sharing with family and friends, and provide the
perfect complement to your holiday meal. To celebrate the season, CraftBeer.com—the
Brewers
Association
(BA) website for beer lovers—has compiled a list of
seasonal craft beers from small and independent craft brewers.


“Winter seasonals are a beautiful way to add warmth to your holiday
gatherings,” said Julia Herz, publisher of CraftBeer.com and Brewers
Association craft beer program director. “The bolder tastes of winter
seasonals add new meaning to holiday joy and another dimension to the
holiday table.”

Last year, in the 13 weeks of winter ending February 22, 2015, seasonals
grew 5.2 percent by volume and 8.3 percent in dollar sales based on IRI
scan data. During that 13-week period, they represented 15.8 percent of
total craft sales, which was the second largest style category share
behind India Pale Ales.

The varieties of flavors found in this year’s winter seasonals include
everything from oatmeal and coffee, to cinnamon and pecan. Check out
some of the cheer-filled offerings below for ideas on how you can
celebrate this holiday season:

“As our stoves turn to roasts, braises and heavier sauces, our palates
turn to deeper, darker, barrel-aged beers. These pairings mingle with
the rich flavors, cut through the dense, palate-coating meats, and
inspire notes of spice and rewarding finishes,” said Adam Dulye,
executive chef, Brewers Association.
