As the cold weather rolls in and the holiday season approach, it’s time to put away your Oktoberfest and lager beers and start to look for heavier winter options!

Here is a selection of four craft beers that you must try this winter.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale

This Cleveland brewery’s Christmas Ale is now a nationwide favorite. Full of honey, cinnamon, and ginger flavors, it’s a great beer that will help you warm up and get into the holiday spirit.

Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout

Founders’ KBS is one of the highest-rated craft beers on Earth, and it’s best enjoyed in the winter. This complex stout is aged in bourbon barrels, adding a woody and liquor-infused taste to a beer that has notes of vanilla, chocolate, and coffee.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

IPAs might not be the most popular winter beers, but Sierra Nevada’s yearly Celebration IPA proves that they can be great when it’s cold out too! Its hop bite is perfectly complimented by malt sweetness. Yum!

Troegs The Mad Elf

Cherries and chocolate are the protagonists of this Belgian Strong Dark Ale, which is just perfect when sitting in front of the fireplace. Its quirky label is festive and fun to look at, too!
