WE GOT A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH YOU PEOPLE, AND NOW, YOU’RE GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT.

The night will, as always, feature the traditional Festivus events of the Airing of Grievances, in which we all get to explain to our friends, foes, and coworkers how they have disappointed us this year, and the Feats of Strength, in which people try to engage in physical activities between beers: keeping their hands in ice water, holding a stool out in front of them, stepping contests, etc.

Any special beers on tap for Festivus, you ask? Jeff Kimpe’s dutifully working on his own “feats of strength”- a host of highly-warming beers that’ll warm your cockles better than whatever dairy-free almond nog you were gonna pick up at Berkeley Bowl. They are as follows:

Reindeer Ale, an imperial red ale. Simcoe and Cascade gallop through a carefully selected malt bill for a balanced imperial red ale. (Careful with this stag.) 8.4% ABV, 78 IBUs.

Tinsel Tears Winter Warmer, in which malt complexity flickers while Cascade and Willamette gently fall down the face of this unique holiday brew. 7.2% ABV, 42 IBUs.

Tin Soldier Barleywine, with the best Golden Promise malt used as a base malt for this sturdy brew along with four different crystal malts and a 3 hour boil time. Chinook and Willamette will go in the boil and we’ll dry hop with Chinook. 9.1% ABV, 75 IBUs.

Festivus MiracALE; Maris Otter and a touch medium crystal gives this Pale Ale a nice foundation. Rounded out with what we had left in our hop rack (we’re hoping for a miracale). 5.6% ABV, 53 IBUs.

Look, the holidays are stressful. We get that. So come on by for Festivus, and get those grievances aired out before you gotta spend 72 straight hours with your family. It’s better for you, and it’s better for them.
