I recently had Shiner Holiday cheer and that got me in the festive beer spirit. A light night girl dinner run with my partner later and we “somehow” ended up in the HEB beer aisle. They had 3 holiday beers in their stand and I had to cop them all. Eureka states that this one is an ode to their favorite holiday cookie and brewed with Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon, and lactose. Good thing I’m not intolerant cause I want my trousers to stay blue.
Surprisingly, it does taste just like a holiday cookie at first. However, they took the name of their can too literally. The tinsel is snickerdoodle-esque with the cinnamon and vanilla replicating those warm flavors. Then come those pesky trousers. I didn’t realize it was 7.3% ABV and that very bitter aftertaste brought me to the can logo. I was hoping I would get used to it over time, but a third of the way through I couldn’t take it anymore. Coal in my stocking because I hate to see beer go to waste.
Does it feel like Christmas? Yes, it brings back those feelings of having some nice warm cookies straight out the oven. Then the oven catches on fire and burns down the kitchen.
