Brrr is holiday tradition we can all get behind.

Oh, and this 7.2% ABV holiday favorite took home silver at the 2015 GABF. MSRP: $10.99 (12oz 6-pack) *prices may vary*
10 Barrel HopBurst IPA Family
Take four of 10 Barrel Brewing’s award-winning flagship IPAs, infuse them with a s**tload of hops at the end of the brewing process, and wrap them in cans as loud and colorful as the flavor inside, and you have the HopBurst IPA Family. Now available for purchase online or in stores anywhere 10 Barrel is sold! MSRP: $20.99 (12oz 12-pack) *prices may vary*

The beer that started it all, Redhook ESB has been continuously brewed since 1987. “Extra Special Bitter” balances 5.8% ABV with caramel malt sweetness and subtle spicy and citrusy hop flavors, defining the style and inspiring a new wave of craft beers across the country. There’s a good chance ESB was Dad’s first craft beer. MSRP: $7.99 (16oz 4-pack) *prices may vary*
