It would be irresponsible to leave Santa cookies and beer on Christmas Eve. He has to drive that sleigh an awful long way, after all.
However, it wouldn’t be out of line at all to leave him a cold bottle of Santa Clausthaler non-alcoholic beer, the subject of today’s TribLive Taste Test.
Actually, since it’s crafted in Germany, perhaps a room-temperature bottle would be the best approach. Created by the Radeberger Gruppe, Santa Clausthaler is created using a 40-year-old patented brewing process called “arrested fermentation.” This method extracts ingredients during the brewing process just before it produces alcohol in beer. Other varieties include Clausthaler Dry-Hopped and the recently introduced Clausthaler Grapefruit.
How does it stack up to reviewer Patrick Varine’s favorite seasonal Christmas beers? Find out!
