An American-style double IPA brewed at Nøgne Ø, Norway, in collaboration with Stone Brewing and Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales.

This is the second release of Special Holiday Ale, which was first brewed in San Diego in 2008. Each brew is following the same recipe, including Michigan chestnuts, white sage from southern California and Norwegian juniper berries, but differences in brewing and aging practices produce different beers. Cheers to being different! Skål
