A true full-bodied beer with a long brewing tradition: Since 1880, our master brewers have been brewing this full-flavored specialty beer once a year at Christmas, following an old monastery recipe.

Whether it’s a get-together with friends or a Christmas party—Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu’s Christmas beer adds a touch of festivity and coziness to any occasion.
History and Stories
When winter arrives in the Black Forest, a time of magic begins: snow-covered forests glisten in the winter sun and transform the landscape into a breathtaking work of natural art. The fresh mountain air cleanses the body and whets the appetite for an extraordinary culinary delight: the nourishing Christmas beer with a particularly high original gravity. Ever since 1880, the master brewers at Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu have been delighting beer lovers during the Christmas season with their extra-strong Christmas beer: a robust brew that fosters a contemplative mood and inner reflection, especially during the cold season.
The Sommelier’s Take
Crystal clear with a rich golden hue, festively crowned with a fine head. The aroma is malty, paired with fresh, floral hop notes. A smooth, crisp first sip that quickly gives way to a full-bodied, robust flavor. The pleasant hop aromas unfold, giving this festive beer its distinctive character. The finish is long-lasting and malty.
