After the year we’ve had, we could all use a drink.
We do have discerning palates, though, and we love to support local. With that in mind, we offer you this roundup of new and seasonal beers, wines, and spirits, each of which would make a great stocking stuffer.
The makers of TX Blended Whiskey and TX Straight Bourbon recently launched two new offerings: TX Straight Bourbon Tawny Port Finish and TX Straight Bourbon PX Sherry Finish. Both are distinctly different sweet wines with unique flavor profiles. frdistilling.com
A sweet tooth will come in handy for Dallas-based Bishop Cider Co.’s latest cider, Pecan Pie. Made with Texas-grown pecans, it’s an affable combo of semi-sweet and nutty. bishopcider.com
The Fort Worth location of Locust Cider & Brewing Co. recently released its very good Peach Ginger holiday cider, which is sweet with a touch of spicy. locustcider.com
Fort Worth’s Martin House Brewing Company came up with a more refined way of enjoying pickle juice than drinking it straight from the jar: Best Maid Pickle Beer. The irresistible and appropriately sour brew has been a runaway hit since it was released earlier this year. martinhousebrewing.com
Winter Warmer, a seasonal offering from Rahr & Sons Brewing Company, is the perfect winter beer — heavy and malty, with a chocolate and caramel-tinged flavor. rahrbrewing.com
Snap’d is a limited seasonal ale from Fort Worth’s Wild Acre Brewing Company. The strong ale is treated with an in-house spice blend that gives it a gingerbread flavor and aroma. wildacrebrewing.com
