Holiday Brews Come to Fredericksburg

With spices like cinnamon, ginger and allspice, what isn't merry about these holiday beers?

There’s nothing inherently naughty about beer. In fact, a brew flavored with holiday spices like orange peel and allspice sounds pretty nice.

Several Fredericksburg area breweries recently released their version of holiday brewski, according to Fredericksburg.com. These beers are way better than eggnog, and only out for a limited time so grab them while they last.
