Product details

Beneath a 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.

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. If you don't successfully pin down the head of the household, a few pints of Festivus Miracle will.

A Great Beer

Loved the taste. Great holiday beer. I will note that in my experience this beer will need a blowoff tube rather than just an airlock, because fermentation was fast and vigorous for me (i used dry yeast and ended up with the airlock being blown off lol). That being known I will definitely brew again next year!

great brew

Good recipe. took the suggestion of only half the orange peel and it came out really good. Came out at 7.5%.

Our annual Christmas beer

We’ve enjoyed Christmas beers for as long as I can remember %28Anchor Steam and later Great Lakes in Cleveland%29 so brewing our own was a must. For something we enjoy only at the holidays it has to be big and bold in flavor and this one doesn’t disappoint. For the last few years we’ve been going with the full packet of spices %28rather than the half suggested%29 and it really helps to let this one condition a month or two before serving so the flavors balance. This is true for both bottles %28as we did the first years%29 and kegs %28as we’ve done lately%29. As such we aim to brew it around August to put on tap after Thanksgiving %28but we have had later starts and it was still enjoyable with less conditioning but was even more enjoyable later after it had some age%29. %0D%0AAnother lesson learned%2C while I love our catalyst fermenter%2C for most brews the cloves and other spices aren’t a good mix with its bottom drain funnel %28clogs%29 so I do this one in my Big Mouth Bubbler or a simple 6 gallon carboy with a siphon to make transfer to secondary easier.

Festivus Holiday Ale

Haven't tried it yet - it's still in secondary - but the fermentation blew the cap off my Bigmouth Bubbler! Luckily my Northern Brewer starter kit included a blowoff tube and no harm was done.
