Craft Beer Winter Seasonals 2015

The holidays will be here before you know it, and America’s small and independent craft brewers have been hard at work creating some their most inventive and celebration-worthy beers. Winter seasonals often highlight flavors of the season like cinnamon, spruce, allspice, gingerbread and smoke, which compliment our favorite holiday dishes.

“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.”

To celebrate these special seasonal beers, we asked Brewers Association member breweries to share their latest releases. Here’s what they had to say:
