The BC Craft Brewers Guild will tell you that milk isnB次元官网网址檛 the only thing Santa would like left out this holiday season.

The guild, in partnership with Destination BC and Victoria-based beer blogger Joe Wiebe, has compiled a list of holiday recommendations brewed up for the season (leaving out the egg nog) along the BC Ale Trail, which features craft brewers and brews from around the province.

The Angry Elf Peppermint Holiday Stout from Dog Mountain in Port Alberni, Chocomint Mocha Porter from Noble Pig in Kamloops and BC Cranberry Sour from VancouverB次元官网网址檚 33 Acres all make the good-list this year.

The stout is a concoction combining cocoa, vanilla and candy cane flavours B次元官网网址� think peppermint hot chocolate for adults B次元官网网址� while the porter is described as a B次元官网网址渄elicious winter shiverB次元官网网址� with similar ingredients. The B次元官网网址渃ran-tastic sourB次元官网网址� is brewed with barley, wheat and spelt, fermented with a special mixed culture in an oak foeder (pronounced B次元官网网址渇ooder,B次元官网网址� this is a large barrel).

Returning holiday favourites on the list include Burnaby Dageraad BrewingB次元官网网址檚 B次元官网网址楢nnoB次元官网网址� series and Kelowna Brewing CompanyB次元官网网址檚 now-annual Winter Ale, a strong golden ale brewed with Okanagan pears and Indian coriander, and a heavy malt and molasses drink perfect for cracking after a day on the slopes.
