Yuletide Confessions is the newest limited-edition release to join Karbach Brewing Co.’s F.U.N. Series, and it pays homage to classic English brewing traditions with English malts, including oats, barley and rye.
This malt-forward seasonal brew comes in at 7% ABV and is said to share “distinctive notes of toffee, biscuit and a touch of rye spice.” Full of gentle fruity character and a smooth, warming finish, this brew is a perfect pairing for festive favorites like glazed ham, gingerbread desserts and pecan pie.
Karbach's F.U.N. Series, which stands for "Effing Unbelievable Nectar,” is a rotating collection of small-batch beers in limited-edition cans, and these releases are prized by the team and customers alike for their fun, boundary-pushing flavors.
