Mims Distributing Company Announces Anchor Brewing 2015 Anchor Christmas Ale
Forty-First Rendition of Popular Seasonal Brew Sure to Delight North Carolina Craft Beer Enthusiasts.
Raleigh, NC, December 03, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Mims Distributing Company, a wholesale beverage distributor in North Carolina, has announced the release of Anchor Brewing’s 2015 Anchor Christmas Ale. This year marks the 41st rendition of the California-based brewery’s popular annual holiday ale, available for a limited time to craft beer enthusiasts in North Carolina.
Though the Anchor Christmas Ale’s recipe varies every year, Anchor Brewing keeps the same purpose in mind each time: to harness the joy and celebration of the newness of life. A dark, spiced ale with a deep, rich color, the 2015 Anchor Christmas Ale is brewed using malted barley, fresh whole hops, and a top-fermenting yeast, making it the ideal beer to pair with holiday meals. A Christmas tree aroma and smooth, chocolate-like texture accompany the fruity and roasted malt notes.
Additionally, Anchor Brewing creates a new label each year featuring a different tree. This year’s label takes a West Coast approach with the illustration of a Deodar Cedar, or California Christmas Tree, which represents the spirit of the season and has been a San Francisco favorite for more than 150 years. The search for the perfect tree for the 2015 Anchor Christmas Ale label began and ended in the brewery’s parking lot – two enchanting Deodars were in sight just half a block from the front door. Bay Area artist James Stitt, who has been providing Christmas Ale illustrations since 1975, created the delightful scene.
Christmas Ale fans can purchase the 2015 brew in six-packs and gold-foiled magnum bottles. To find out more about the 2015 Anchor Christmas Ale, visit http://www.anchorbrewing.com/beer/christmas_ale.
