O Tannenbaum | Utilizes Fresh spruce tips in the boil as the replacement for some of the hops, normally present for bitterness. The aroma is full of pleasant, but not distracting spruce notes, followed by a unique perfectly balanced spruce flavor component. This is the Christmas ale you have been waiting for.
Holiday Toast | 5.3%, English Holiday Ale with Cinnamon. This beer is a celebration of the bready malt character of Maris Otter Malt, English Fuggle hops, and touch of cinnamon.
The Spice is Right | 6.4%, blonde spiced winter ale. Some winter beers have way too much spice, some have too little spice. EBW brewed The Spice is Right, as you guessed it, to have just the right amount of spice. Pours nice and blonde with a spice mix of cinnamon, ginger and clove.
Hippie for the Holidays | 6.2%, Granola Brown Ale with Christmas spices. This seasonal variant is brewed with oats, wheat, and granola nuggets plus coriander, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and sweet orange peel. Everyone loves a Hippie for the Holidays.
Holiday Spicewood | Barleywine style ale brewed with copious amounts of spices, coriander, allspice, nutmeg and crystalized ginger. Just for an extra kick, pounds, upon pounds of cinnamon sticks and toasted oak chips were added. The nose is full of cinnamon, drinks smooth, with a hint of orange and finishes with a slight oakness.
Snowy Mt. Crumpit | White IPA - Wheat beer with an IPA hop profile. The aroma has a slight, juicy hop on the nose. Belgian yeast and a bit of coriander come through in the flavor while oats were added to get the mouthfeel just right. Pronounded bitterness on the backend. Grinch-worthy.
Findlay Brewing Company
Gingerbread Amber Ale |
Inside the Five (All locations)
Cran-Ma Got Run Over by a Reinbeer | ‘Tis the season for merriment and joy with friends and family; along with gray skies, dark cold nights, and snow. Lots and lots of snow!
