12/11/24: State of Brewing's Holiday Ale

Sorry this is coming so late in the month! I have five beers slated for the holiday season and I'm anticipating getting through them all by the big day itself.  Is your tree trimmed? Are your lights up? Gifts secured and wrapped? Mine, neither (well, okay, our tree is trimmed and lights are up. The gifts are another story). December's hectic. Take a moment, grab a cold one, and snuggle up for the first Christmas season post of 2024: State of Brewing's Holiday Ale. State of Brewing's a beer brand owned by Aldi (the grocery chain). It's not an actual brewery. The brewery that brews State of Brewing beers--please appreciate that I used "beers" here instead of "brews"--is Octopi Brewing, out of Wisconsin. I have two quick links for you: One that talks about about Octopi and another that's a post I did for a beer they made under their own name . Holiday Ale (Octopi-made and Aldi-owned and -sold) currently has a spot on Aldi's website . This lists the 5.6% ABV ale as a seasonal ale that
