Today is National Lager Day here in the U.S., so I thought it befitting that the Advent beer pick is a Christmas lager, which of course means going to the source for some of the best lagers in the world—Germany: Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu Weihnachtsbier. This festive golden brew is 5.6% alcohol by volume and traces its lineage back to 1880.

A genuine full beer with a long brewing tradition: Since 1880 this full-bodied, tasty beer speciality has been brewed once a year at Christmas time by our master brewers according to an old recipe the monks themselves once used. A spicy beer with a higher original wort gravity and the special aromatic hops which go down so well with the flavours of traditional Christmas cooking and baking.

Whether at friendly gatherings or Christmas celebrations – the Apirsbacher Klosterbräu’s Christmas beer lends every event a hint of festivity and cosiness.

A fine yuletide lager to enjoy on this National Lager Day—or any other day this month as befitting the holiday.
