Prepare your stretchy pants — the holidays are almost here! If you’re looking for something to pair with Thanksgiving takeout or one of these classic homemade dishes infused with cannabis, consider some Denver-made beers that also fit within theme.
Get Stuffed Holiday Ale (Tivoli Brewing Co.)
Appropriately named after the mantra for the holidays, Get Stuffed is a 8.8% ABV ale spiced with classic festive flavors including cranberry, orange and clove. Clocking in at 50 IBUs, this beer has a sturdy hop presence and malty backbone to match, so be sure to save room because you might want seconds.
Now available on draft at Tivoli Brewing Co. (900 Auraria Parkway, Suite 240, Denver) and in six-packs of 12-ounce cans.
Cranberry IPA (Epic Brewing Co.)
If you’re looking forward to getting cranberry sauced this Thanksgiving, try Epic Brewing Co.’s new seasonal release, Cranberry IPA. This 7.5% ABV beverage is brewed with cranberry puree, “heaps of hops” and a touch of lactose, according to a statement. The result is a fruity and floral blend that pairs aptly with savory and rich holiday dishes.
Now available on draft at Epic Brewing Co. (3001 Walnut St., Denver) and in four-packs of 16-ounce cans.
