The Star of the Pack: Mad Elf
The highlight of The Most Wonderful Beer of the Year pack is Tröegs’ iconic holiday ale, Mad Elf. This beloved seasonal brew has become a staple for fans of the brewery, putting Tröegs on the craft beer map and cementing its place as a holiday favorite. Mad Elf is brewed with five varieties of cherries and Pennsylvania wildflower honey, giving it a complex, fruity sweetness that’s balanced by a rich malt backbone. The result is a beer that’s as festive as it is flavorful—a true holiday classic for beer aficionados.
Exclusive Brews for the Season
In addition to Mad Elf, this year’s variety pack includes three exclusive beers that fans won’t find anywhere else, adding to the excitement of this festive selection:
- Naked Elf – A stripped-down version of Mad Elf, Naked Elf leaves out the cherries, honey, and chocolate malt, resulting in a lighter, more straightforward version of the holiday favorite. This “naked” rendition gives fans a unique perspective on the original recipe, focusing on the base ingredients that make Mad Elf so special.
- Gingerbread Cookie Stout – This chewy, dark beer is inspired by the nostalgic flavors of grandma’s kitchen. Brewed with a mix of spices and malts that evoke the taste of a gingerbread cookie, this stout is a warm, comforting brew perfect for the holiday season.
- Mad Dreams – Making its debut in cans, Mad Dreams is a blend of Mad Elf and Tröegs’ year-round favorite DreamWeaver Wheat. The combination creates a smooth, balanced beer that brings together the fruity notes of Mad Elf with the soft, wheat character of DreamWeaver, resulting in a drink that’s both complex and approachable.
Each beer in the pack has its own distinct flavor profile, giving drinkers a variety of seasonal tastes to explore. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Mad Elf or curious about the new additions, The Most Wonderful Beer of the Year offers a taste of the holidays all in one box.
Perfect for Sharing and Gifting
This festive variety pack isn’t just a collection of great beers—it’s also a way to bring people together. “This pack is all about celebrating with family and friends,” says Chris Trogner, Tröegs’ co-founding brother. “It’s a taste of the holidays all wrapped up in one convenient box!”
With a mix of unique, seasonal brews, The Most Wonderful Beer of the Year is perfect for sharing at holiday gatherings or for gifting to the beer lovers in your life. The limited-edition nature of the pack also adds a touch of exclusivity, making it a thoughtful and memorable holiday gift.
For IPA Lovers: Perpetual Exploration Variety Pack
In addition to their holiday-themed pack, Tröegs is also offering a winter edition of its Perpetual Exploration variety 12-pack, catering to IPA enthusiasts. This rotating selection of hoppy beers includes four of Tröegs’ top IPAs, providing a well-rounded mix for those who love bold, hop-forward flavors. Here’s what’s inside the current winter pack:
- Perpetual IPA – The best-selling craft beer in Pennsylvania, known for its balanced and vibrant hop profile.
- Graffiti Highway IPA – A popular new year-round addition that’s already a fan favorite for its fresh, juicy character.
- LolliHop Double IPA – A silky smooth double IPA that showcases Tröegs’ mastery of the style.
- Blizzard of Hops Winter IPA – A seasonal favorite that brings a taste of winter with its piney, resinous hops and smooth finish.
With a selection of four distinct IPAs, the Perpetual Exploration pack is ideal for those who appreciate a variety of hoppy styles. Like The Most Wonderful Beer of the Year, it’s available at Tröegs Brewery and throughout the brewery’s distribution network.
