Full Sail
WASSAIL WINTER ALE

AVAILABLE ON DRAFT

A few unmistakable signs tell us when winter has arrived here in Hood River. The waterfalls in the Gorge start kicking out the jams. The snow report for the back country regains its hold over us. And the Wassail starts flowing once again. We’ve brewed Wassail every holiday season since 1988, and it’s now as much a part of the festivities as sharing a roaring fire with our closest family and friends.

It's no wonder this multi-medal winning Winter Warmer is one of our favorite beers to brew. Choosing our ingredients for Wassail is like taking time to choose the perfect gift. Each year we carefully select the best hops and malts to brew this special beer. This deep mahogany holiday classic is brewed with four different malts and a blend of Pacific Northwest hops. Its inviting aroma combines roasted espresso with hints of pine, delivering a full-bodied and pleasantly hoppy finish that appeals to both hop and malt lovers alike. This platinum and 14-time gold medal winner is available on draft during the holiday season.
