Tree House Brewing CompanyI’m Dreaming of a Hazy Christmas!hazy | 7.9% ABV | Unknown IBUOffered By: KAY JAY |
I'm Dreaming Of A Hazy Christmas is an American Double IPA brewed with Citra and Amarillo hops along with a hot stand on Chrysanthemum flowers. Recalling a favorite tea of ours, we also included a solid dose of honey malt and wildflower honey to accentuate the floral and sweet notes of Chrysanthemum. Pouring a hazy orange color in the glass, it carries notes of honeyed orange, unfiltered honey, and zesty grapefruit. It is a genuinely novel flavor profile that is sure to delight your senses! This is a thoughtful beer that is carefully constructed to be a balanced and interesting representation of the ingredients it contains. It's also meant to be fun - enjoy it with friends and family this holiday season!

treehousr BrewingI Will not be AfraidAmerican-Style Stout | 9.3% ABV | Unknown IBUOffered By: WESTEXANS |
This decadent Imperial milk stout is a staple in the Tree House Family. We taste intense syrupy dark chocolate, caramelized candy sugar, chocolate covered espresso beans, and a hint of cherry cola. We are excited to welcome a new member of the Tree House Imperial Milk Stout Family - I Will Not Be Afraid! Brewed with an assortment of chocolate, roasted, and pale malts and carefully dosed with cacao and coffee, I Will Not Be Afraid is an immensely enjoyable Tree House Imperial Milk Stout. We taste intense syrupy dark chocolate, caramelized candy sugar, chocolate covered espresso beans, and a hint of cherry cola. This beer is luxurious and silky, like chocolate clouds, yet never relies on an overly saccharine complexion to bring out the intense and complex flavors we have worked so diligently to impart. We welcome you to enjoy it by the fireplace as we head into the cooler New England seasons. (Keep this beer cold at all times. Allowing it to warm will be detrimental to its character, flavor profile, and longevity).

Trillium Brewing CompanyTurduckenTriple New England Hazy IPA | 10% ABV | Unknown IBUOffered By: ASIAFEVER |
What better occasion to push the boundaries of our large bird lineup than Thanksgiving?! Inspired by the legendary three bird roast popularized by John Madden throughout Thanksgiving Day NFL broadcasts, Turducken is a saturated hop bomb of a Triple IPA. The can labels sport two different versions of the same Zoom collaboration meeting; one in traditional Trillium hand-drawn fashion by Kevin Cimo at FairFolk and the second a colorized and cartoony take by Andy Godish at Permanent Hangover. Pouring a dense, deep pale yellow with remarkable haze, Turducken's appearance is reminiscent of our hoppiest Double and Triple IPAs. Like its namesake delicacy, the aroma is layered, offering notes of blended citrus zest, punchy white grape juice, pineapple, and a gentle piney bitterness. Full-bodied, mouthcoating, and deftly balanced, Turducken is an indulgent Triple IPA and the perfect complement to your celebratory spread.

Warped Wing Brewing CompanyBaltic ArgonautBaltic-Style Porter | 11.5% ABV | 35 IBUOffered By: WESTEXANS |
In 1850, impassioned artisans created stunning hand-carved chairs at the Stomps-Burkhardt Company in Dayton. Many of these prized pieces featured ornate faces based on Greek and Roman mythology. These chairs are now highly sought after by collectors. Today, craft beer aficionados have something to add to their own collections. Barrel Aged Baltic Argonaut. Smell a bouquet of roasted coffee with a mild caramel sweetness. Taste dark malt flavors, coffee, chocolate, cherries and vanilla complimented by hints of toffee, and bready notes. Now ease back. Close your eyes. Embrace the past. Then savor the moment.
