Twelve Days of Christmas Beers - Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
This is another of my annual favorites. There’s nothing overtly holiday-ee about this brew - no spices or candy canes added to the brew pot - but it is a great ale made by a great brewer and marks their contribution to the season.
Celebration Ale is rich and malty with plenty of the characteristic hoppiness that marks Sierra Nevada’s beers. At 6.8% alcohol it is one of the more modestly alcoholic of these seasonal beers but it is so rich and flavorful that one is still compelled to sip and savor it slowly.
