Holiday Beers 2021

• The holiday season is fast approaching, and
  everyone is making their lists of the top beers
  to drink this year. Many people are curious about
  what types of beer will be on shelves in 2021, so
  we put together a list to help you out! If you're
  looking for new options, these could be your
  subsequent favorite holiday brews.
• Holiday beers are typically a little bit heavier
  and higher in alcohol content than your average
  beer. It's because they are meant to be enjoyed
  during the colder months when you want something
  that will warm you up from the inside out. There
  are all sorts of different types of holiday
  beers, so you're sure to find one that suits your
  taste.

  malt for a full-bodied taste that will keep you
  coming back for more.
• It's one beer you don't want to miss this year!
  It pairs well with holiday foods like roasted
  turkey, ham, and roast beef! It's also great to
  drink by itself as an appetizer or after-dinner

  morning because there are hints of vanilla in the
