Sleigh’r is our après-ski to deep PNW snowfalls. Under its frothy head is a deep, chocolatey malt flavor that’s sweet and warm, with a lasting bitterness. Like a toasty fire on a dark night. Too bad Matt drank it all…

This sour Berry Danish smoothie is made with raspberry, banana, marshmallow, hazelnut, and graham cracker. Get stuffed, Santa.

This festive IPA is loaded with the dankest, sticky, drippy, and piney hops the Gigantic brewers could get their hands on. I love a brewery that understand the beer-naming assignment.

Basically their Crikey IPA with extra piney flavors. Maybe that’s the winning combo. Or it still sucks.

Our homage to the warming winter ale, brewed with robust malts, a little rye, and classic PNW hops along with orange zest and cacao nibs. Imagine eating a milk chocolate orange in front of a glowing fireplace and you’ve got the right idea.

Cinnamon and Vanilla to ruin an otherwise bog-standard Pacific Northwest classic. The name reminds me of my college days. Drink, and don’t barf.

This yuletide IPA is brewed with a sleighful of hops, orange zest, and foraged spruce tips. Probably just a decent IPA, if there is such a thing at this festival?

With a noase and taste of pineapple and grapefruit, could actually just be a nice Citrus double IPA. But when have we been so lucky? Might be an aftertaste of elf-stank in it? Is that why you aren’t coming home?

Julebokking in Sweden is dressing up as a goat and scaring your friends at Christmas. Maybe that’s what the beer will do to your esophagus. Cardamom can do that to a person.

A bänging Imperial Stout brewed with generous addition of maple syrup and infused with toasted maple wood. Getting a woody for this one.

Do you really think St. Nick wants to eat chocolate chip cookies and drink milk after busting his ass all night? Hell, no! He wants to pound lagers and eat gingerbread.

How many more Santa puns can I take? Oh, wait. This is just a boring name. Let’s hope this malt-forward and zesty hop charactered ale and pleasant finish lingers longer than the beer farts.

Imperial Stout with Cinnamon Buns. Fat. Orange. Cat.

A hearty malt backbone gives notes of toffee, fir and toasted bread crumbs for a malty and slightly sweet base. Haha, my kind of sheister beer.

Brace yourself for Strong Gale, our holiday IPA brewed to weather the fiercest coastal storms or waiting for Santa. In Astoria, winter means freezing temps and rainfall that doubles the national average—only the bold endure. Strong Gale rises to the challenge with bold hop character from Centennial, Simcoe, and Chinook, delivering notes of berry sweetness and bitter chocolate. A true winter IPA for those ready to face the elements.

A Japanese variation of a Belgian Christmas Classic. I’m as confused as you are.

Winters change and so do the coats. This one offers the same great taste with new features including tangerine and cocoa nibs. Sweet orange peel hard shell and 100% delicious honey malt lining. Last saw this in 2021.
