2023 Release
Beer Name: Barrel de Krampus
Style: Biere de Noel aged in rum and apple brandy barrels
ABV: 7.7%
Color: amber but with hints of red
Cheese Pairing: smoked cheddar
Food Pairing: HAM
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Just for Kicks" by Salem's Pot
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): the "Mission Impossible" theme song
Best Occasion to Drink: while refusing to get out of bed
Brewers' Notes: ALL KRAMPUS ALL THE TIME. That's right! You asked, and we... did something different but vaguely related to what you asked for and this time it's more Krampus! This not-so-delicate blend features Biere de Krampus alongside some Biere de Krampus that we aged in an apple brandy barrel (from our friends at Short Path, of course) and also maybe some other stuff (probably Ginger Spectacular, that stuff is in everything. It's like glitter - we try to put it in one blend and all of a sudden it's in every dang beer we put out) and anyway the point is that if you have enjoyed our previous (or current) Krampus-themed beers then you'll probably like this one too!

2020 Release
Beer Name: Barrel Aged Biere de Krampus
Style: Biere de Noel aged in peach brandy barrels
ABV: 7.5%
Color: Brownish and deceptively light
Cheese Pairing: Marscapone
Food Pairing: Cherries jubilee
Music Pairing (Jimbo's Choice): "Showtime" by Electric Six
Music Pairing (Jared's Choice): "Showtime" by Electric Six
Best Occasion to Drink: While lighting fires
Brewers' Notes: Unsurprisingly, we loves us some Krampus around here (both the beer and the Seasonal Mythical Creature of the same name) so when we were brainstorming things to do to make this year's Krampus extra special we went and got a big ol' peach brandy barrel and then in nought but the blink of an eye that sucker was full of Krampus! But since it was the middle of summer when that happened, we let ol' Krampus slumber for a bit until it was "time to shine" and that time is now! This ol' beer's like regular Krampus only everything is dialed up just a bit and there's a little bit of oaky vanilla (or rather vanilla-y oak) hidin' in the corners ready to take your tastebuds for a trip!
