Twelve Days of Christmas Beers – Santa’s Butt

Written by Bryce Eddings | Published December 15, 2009

First, let’s clarify something here. A butt is a large cask that can hold 126 gallons of beer. Get it? This beer caused some trouble a few years ago when the state of Maine tried – and failed – to ban it’s sale. Apparently a cheeky picture of Santa’s cheeks was just too much for Mainers.

As for the beer itself, it is a sweet porter. Dark, roasty, and flavorful it’s a nice beer for yuletide quaffing.
