Widmer ReGifted Red: The imperial version of Widmer’s beloved Brrr, ReGifted Red was originally slated to launch in 1999, but got shelved and then “regifted” for the 2006 Holiday Ale Fest. This December marks the ale’s third coming, for the brewery’s 30th-anniversary collection. 9% alcohol by volume (ABV)
Double Mountain Falalalala: Brewed with “bagfuls” of Northwest Centennial hops, Double Mountain’s jolly holiday ale is fresh as a snowy day in the woods, with a toasty, earthy bitterness and sweet malt notes shining through with a hint of prunes. 7.5% ABV
Hopworks Organic Abominable Winter Ale: With an alluring dark amber hue, Hopworks’ winter ale is driven not by the typical spice but by a peppery, citrusy medley of Northwest hops, followed by a smooth, toffee-flavored finish. 7.3% ABV
The Commons Bourbon Little Brother: For this seasonal, some of the brewery’s Little Brother, a Belgian dark strong ale, is fermented in bourbon barrels for six months. Rich and malty with touches of vanilla sweetness, this one’s a strong brew for the coldest of nights. 10% ABV
10 Barrel Pray for Snow:With five varieties of specialty malts, 10 Barrel’s copper-colored winter ale has a roasty, caramel backbone with plenty of holiday spice and a refreshing burst of herbal hops. 7% ABV
Heater Allen Sandy Paws: A Baltic porter with a blackish amber body, Heater Allen’s winter entry boasts the nutty, toasted-sugar flavors we crave in the dead of winter, but without the boozy heaviness that can cause naps to ensue. 6.7% ABV
