The 24th and Final Day: Samuel Smith Winter Welcome

Why we picked it: Traditionally, we go big for Christmas eve, and Samuel Smith fit the bill and truly stands out as a holiday brew. Plus, at 550 ML, you could - in theory - share with relatives... or at least drink enough that they are more tolerable to you.

What Samuel Smith has to say: This seasonal beer is a limited edition brewed for the short days and long nights of winter. The full body resulting from fermentation in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ and the luxurious malt character, which will appeal to a broad range of drinkers, is balanced against whole-dried Fuggle and Golding hops with nuances and complexities that should be contemplated before an open fire.

ABV: 6%
IBU: 32


Fun Fact: Traditional methods of brewing have been retained at The Old Brewery.  The Samuel Smith brewery still has its own cooper making and repairing all its oak casks; all Samuel Smith’s naturally conditioned draught beer is handpulled from oak casks. The original well at The Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use, with the brewing water being drawn from 85 feet underground.If you want to see what it looks like...https://vimeo.com/153806647
