Christmas Eve ^2 @ TheBeerMongers

On December 23^rd from 4-11PM, The BeerMongers will be tapping five holiday ales just before the frenzy of family gatherings, wrapping paper and food comas. All beers will be available in 6oz and 12oz pours, except Fa La La La La which will also be served in 20-oz pints.

Here’s the important stuff:

Block 15 Figgy Pudding

This is the beer that inspired the event. A complex English Barleywine, aged in freshly emptied Brandy Barrles with mission figs, Ceylon cinnamon and nutmeg. 11% ABV, 43IBU

Double Mountain Fa La La La La

One of my favorites each winter, Fa La La La La will satisfy the hopheads in true to form Double Mountain fashion. 7.6% ABV, 83 IBU

Hair of the Dog 2010 Doggie Claws

A classic west coast style Barleywine, Doggie Claws is brewed with British crystal malts, Mt.Hood wild flower honey, as well as Amarillo and Simcoe hops. 11.5% ABV, IBU 70

Jolly Pumpkin Noel De Calabaza

A Belgian Dark Christmas Ale aged in oak barrels with characteristics of dark fruit, malt sweetness along with the expected Jolly Pumpkin funk. 9%ABV

Lompoc Bourbon Barrel 8 Malty Nights

This chocolate rye porter was brewed for Hanukkah in 2009 and then aged in bourbon barrels for nine months. 6.5%ABV
