Think some of those winter ales sit a little heavy? Want to save room for Christmas dinner? Breckenridge Brewery's Christmas Ale is for you.
It's a milder version of a typical Christmas ale—a little sweet, slightly maltier, hints of caramel, slightly higher alcohol—and extremely drinkable. (Though be careful how extremely drinkable you find it; it's just over 7 percent alcohol.)
Christmas Ale doesn't pack the same hearty character of Winterbraun, which will fortify you for a trek through bone-chilling wind. If Breckenridge Brewery's seasonal offering fortifies you for anything, it's a mid-afternoon walk through freshly fallen snow.
