The Best Beers to Pair with the Holidays!

Happy Holidays! During this time of giving, we’re bringing you our new Home for the Holidays variety pack of Winter beer recipe kits. This year more than ever, we’re encouraging you to stay home and enjoy your beer by the fireplace - the kit includes a special edition barleywine.

Sasquatch Barleywine - Exclusive to Home for the Holidays Variety Pack

Found only in folklore, and this 3-pack bundle, our barleywine clone is modeled after a strong and robust cult-classic with the refined intensity of a wine. As big as the cryptid creature itself, Sasquatch Barleywine really packs a wallop. With an ABV over 9% and IBUs nearing 100, this recipe produces an intense sipping experience. Loads of fermentables and a healthy dose of caramel malt create a wonderfully full body and huge depth of malt nuances, while hearty quantities of classic American hops create sensations of firm bitterness with waves of grapefruit citrus, floral earthiness, and pine flavors. Be sure to let this one lurk in the cellar, the flavors will meld with time.
Instructions

Permafrost White IPA

This complex and hoppy brew will help you to navigate the doldrums of seemingly never-ending winters. Developed with the pioneering spirit of American brewers, this White IPA recipe melds old world tradition with the hoppy boldness of an American IPA. At first glance, this beer is as white as the frozen tundra, but upon closer scrutiny, tall drifts of American hop flavor and aromas abound. A traditional witbier grain bill and yeast strain coupled with West Coast American hops yields a wonderfully complex India White Ale beer kit. A slight spice and tartness from the yeast intermingling with citrus notes from abundant hop additions complement the silky smooth body created by flaked oats and unmalted wheat. Stay frosty my friends!

Festivus Miracle Holiday Ale

Feats of strength! Airing of grievances! The infamous aluminum Festivus pole! This miraculous pint of ale is a tradition for Festivus holidays to come. It's mildly spiced, yet packed with sufficient ABV to ensure winter-time glory. Beneath its mountain of snowy froth lies the garnet-hued elixir of celebrations to come. A glint of orange peel invigorates the senses, cascading into a full-bodied pillar of Festivus ale. Adornments of holiday spice warm the nose as delicate hints of stone fruit, raisin and caramel wrestle for center stage. Toasty malt adds complexity to the impressive mouthfeel for a comforting, prolonged finish.

Ready for the holidays

The Permafrost Wit IPA is superb, pouring foamy and with a fairly zingy IPA flavor. I did substitute the safe ale T58 with a S-05, giving the beer more citrus flavor. The beer was well-balanced (OG = 1.060; Final 1.018; 5.5% ABV) and well-liked. The hops maybe had a little pineapple and grapefruit flavors and the beer was definitely hoppy. Enjoyable in the keg.

The Festivus is hidden away in a keg until Christmas Eve but I've definitely tested it, though it's not fully carbonated yet. I went easy on the orange peel and mulling spices, probably half of the recipe of each, but it's definitely still there. The sugar candy and late malt addition really make this a desert beer. ABV came in at 7.1%. I'm calling it delicious but again I'm being secretive for another ten days.

As another reviewer did for himself, I divided the barley wine into two recipes because few of my friends and family drink barley wine and also I didn't want to overwhelm the family with a high-ABV beer. Both beers had substantial additions to the original ingredients, and each is turning out well while finishing up in the fermenters. About a week left on each of these prior to kegging.

I think the oatmeal stout was part of this package and I brewed it up over the same time period. I'll give it five-stars either way. It was kind of dull early on in a couple of small taste tests and then sharpened up after six weeks. Really nice session beer at 4.2%. I kegged it and am just starting to serve this little beauty.

All of the beers did need the time noted in the recipe notes (6 weeks) before they were fully matured. They go quickly but I'm ready with more batches already having arrived and ready to brew. As much fun as all these beers have been to make, it was a lot of work. I'm glad I keg rather than bottle (for the most part). Cheers!

Great package for Holidays

First up was the Festivus Miracle. It is different but enjoyable. The spices give it a unique winter holiday spirit.

Next up is the Sasquatch Barleywine. I went a little long in the fermentation process due to a Thanksgiving Vacation. On bottling day the aroma was fantastic. The taste was great and will be wonderful after conditioning in the bottles for a few weeks.

I will be starting the permafrost next. My family is not a big fan of IPA's, I am. This will be for me. I am sure it will also turn out great. Every kit I have received from Northern Brewer has always produced a great beer.

Good variety

Just finished brewing all three kits and have tried the Sasquatch and Festivus. Both are malty and higher in alcohol content. The Festivus is spicy but should condition a while. Overall, a nice winter group.
