E-Malt.com News article: USA, OR: Full Sail Brewing Co. releases its holiday beers

Full Sail Brewing Co. holiday beers start flowing once again, beerpulse.com reported on October, 11.

“It all began back in 1988 when we began our tradition of holiday brewing with Wassail. Traditionally, these beers were a bit more of everything – malt, hops and alcohol – to emphasize a brewery’s appreciation for its customers and to reflect the richness of the holiday season. So it is with Wassail and all our holiday offerings,” said Jamie Emmerson, Full Sail’s Executive Brewmaster. Wassail will be available in 6 packs and on draft from October through December.

Over time, Full Sail has continued to add to their holiday presents. Wreck the Halls, in their Brewer’s Share series, is a sublime hybrid of an American style IPA and a “Winter Warmer” style strong ale. Wreck the Halls will be available on draft and in 22oz bottles in early November through December.

Session Fest is Full Sail’s Session holiday beer that comes in a stubby little bottle. According to Full Sail Executive Brewmaster, Jamie Emmerson, “Session Fest is a Czech-style strong lager (gotta love the Czechs!) called polotmavé or literally “light dark or semi-dark.” Session Fest will be available in 12 packs from October through December.

And this year, Full Sail introduces their new holiday beer for their Limited Edition Lager series – LTD 06. LTD means limited edition, but according to Full Sail’s Founder and CEO, Irene Firmat, at Full Sail it means something even more: Live the Dream. LTD 06, a black bock, will be available in 6 packs and on draft from October through December.
