Item Description
This certificate entitles the winner to one Behind the Scenes in-depth tour of Anchor Brewery and Anchor Distillery, led by Anchor Brewmaster Scott Ungermann. Scott will begin with a brief history of our company. Then he’ll take you through three floors of the brewery, with a tasting session immediately to follow. Together, the experience lasts approximately 1.5 hours and can accommodate up to 8 adults.
Also included in this gift package is Anchor Steam’s 43rd annual release of Christmas Ale. For this Anchor tradition, brewers created a smooth and creamy winter warmer with rich flavors of cacao, toffee, and roasted nuts, plus subtle hints of honey and herbal spice.
With a heavily guarded, secret recipe, this limited-edition Christmas Ale (1.5 liter magnum bottle) is sold only from early November to mid-January. This highly anticipated seasonal delight is complex and full in flavor, with a velvety texture and an alluring aroma of coffee and roasted wood.
“This year’s Christmas Ale has a strong malt profile that is enhanced with wintry spices,” said Anchor Brewmaster Scott Ungermann. “The beer pours a deep, dark, mahogany brown with a creamy, tan head. It has flavors of creamy bittersweet chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and toasted nuts, with a rich, smooth, velvety mouthfeel. This is the third year in a row that we peeled back the layers of spices, taking some ingredients out and making those remaining stand out even more. In the meantime, we added more specialty malts, some that we’re using for the first time. The combination of malts, spices, and hops add layers of complexity to the beer and bring this year’s ale to a new level.”
