Seasonal beers are always a treat. My personal favorite season for beer is winter because it is during this time that breweries tend to release some of their best, most complex, and most warming beers of the year. Clown Shoes Beer has been releasing its seasonal 12 Beers of Christmas mix pack for a few years and this year’s pack is certain to meet or exceed all expectations.
Winter Wonder
To be precise, Clown Shoes 12 Beers of Christmas is relatively young. First introduced in 2020, this mix pack was heralded by craft beer fans everywhere who loved it for the diverse and delicious beers contained within.
This year, 12 Beers of Christmas is back and, like before, it contains one bottle each of twelve different beers. This is perfect for craft beer lovers, like me, who prefer to sample as many different brews as possible. And like before, the diversity is on full display, with radically different styles. Even better, this year’s 12 Beers of Christmas contains eight beers that have been added to the pack for the first time. Among the eight newbies are three that have never been previously released.

That’s a really neat collection. I know a beer lover that’d appreciate this.
Last year my niece asked me to send her cans of beer from local breweries in CO for her hubby for Christmas. I will need to let her know about your blog! Awesome!
