(Portland, ME) – Gritty McDuff’s Brewing announced the release of Gritty’s Christmas Ale in this week’s newsletter.

—

Round, full bodied and a bit sweet, just like the big guy! Every November heralds the return of our holiday seasonal, Christmas Ale – available on draft and in six-packs. Our Christmas Ale is a robust E.S.B. (Extra Special Bitter) full of holiday cheer. Christmas Ale has a lovely, dark red/amber color and a rich, full-bodied, malty taste with a slightly roasted undertone. We brew our Christmas Ale using only the finest English Pale and Crystal Malts, with a touch of Roasted Barley as well. A blend of Clusters, Styrian Goldings, Saaz and Yakima Goldings leaf hops round out this hearty brew. Gritty’s Christmas Ale has no additives, fruits or spices.

Available at your favorite beer retailer or on tap at a bar, restaurant or pub near you.
