Jumping into the 12 Beers of Christmas is easy, festive, and all about keeping up each week. Here’s how to play:
1. Show Up to any st. nick location
Starting November 28th, we release 3 new limited Christmas beers each week for 4 weeks. They’re small batch — only one keg per location — and once they kick, they’re gone.
2. Order christmas Beers
To participate, order each Christmas beer in a snifter glass. No pints, no upgrades, no growler fills! Flights and samples are allowed, but samples do not count toward completing the game.
3. Get Your Card From Your Server
Ask your server to get started. They’ll give you your card and walk you through how the challenge works. You must start your card in Week 1 to qualify for the mug club prize.
4. Bring Your Card Back and Try All 12 Beers
Your card is your key to the game! Bring it back each week, try the new beers, and stay on track. Only snifter purchases count!

Every Beer, Leveled Up
Order a beer, and poof — it’s upgraded. Magic? No, just Mug Club perks. (All beers under 8%.)
Light bread notes from the malt with a slight fruit aroma from the yeast and hops.
#2 - PELOTON PALE ALE (6.0% ABV)
Smooth and balanced with 3 varieties of malts. The intense hop flavor and aroma are due to dry hopping. The aroma is dominated by tropical fruits, including mango and pineapple.
#3 - CADENCE PORTER (6.0% ABV)
A full-bodied black-as-night ale is smooth with a velvety texture. Notes of road coffee beans and chocolate fill the palate and nose.
#4 - WEE HEAVY SCOTCH STRONG (8.0% ABV)
We used 7 different varieties of malts to brew this bomb of a brew! Deep rich malt character slightly warms from the high alcohol content.
#5 - Blackberry cream ale (5% ABV)
Light, crisp, and berry delicious. This cream ale is brewed for easy sipping, with a smooth malt backbone and a touch of corn sweetness. We added blackberries to bring a subtle fruity pop and a hint of color. Refreshing, balanced, and just the right amount of juicy.
#6 - TRANS AM HAZY IPA (7% ABV)
A Hazy IPA low in bitterness bursting with juicy tropical fruit flavors and aromas from the Mosaic Citra and Simcoe hops. Brewed with oats and wheat to give a hazy appearance.
#7 - 5-Speed lager (5% ABV)
An American style lager brewed with American malts, cold fermented and aged cold. Bright crisp and clean flavor.
#8 - 7*11 Peach Blonde (5.0 % ABV)
We took our 7*11 Blonde and infused it with Peaches to give a bright peach flavor that blends wonderfully with the malty notes of the blonde ale. Sweet and refreshing.
#9 - Blood Orange Pale Ale (6.3% ABV)
Bold blood orange flavor meets crisp hop character in this refreshing pale ale. Bright citrus, a touch of tartness, and a smooth, juicy finish make it dangerously drinkable.
#10 - 12 Beers of Christmas: Graham Cracker Lager (5% ABV)
Velvety and rich with soft vanilla-marshmallow character.
#12 - 12 Beers of Christmas: Extra Chocolate Milk Stout (5.3% ABV)
Decadent and bold with layers of cocoa and roasted malt.
