HOFBURG * Gluhwein - Germany
A traditional German spiced or mulled wine. The wine is produced from multiple red grape varieties sourced from all over Germany. Oranges, lemons, anise, cloves, blueberries and cinnamon are all added to sweeten and “spice” the wine. Hofburg is ready to be warmed gently to enjoy on a cold day. No simmering is necessary. 13.0% ABV
PIZZA PORT BREWING CO. * Swami’s India Pale Ale - Solana Beach, California
A sunshine-packed tribute to the laid-back surf vibes of Southern California. Bursting with tropical fruit, citrus, and piney hop goodness, this West Coast-style IPA balances bold flavors with a crisp, clean finish. If you’re a fan of classic, hop-forward IPAs that don’t skimp on refreshment, Swami’s is calling your name. Sip it, and feel the ocean breeze—no surfboard required! 6.8% ABV
REUBENS BREWING * Three Ryes Men - Seattle, Washington
Deliver some festive cheer with this masterful blending of three types of rye malt for a spicy, robust flavor profile. Dark malts bring rich chocolate and caramel notes, while the rye adds a peppery warmth. This imperial rye beer is bold and complex, yet smooth enough to sip fireside. A seasonal delight that captures the spirit of the holidays—rich, warming, and a little bit spicy, just like your favorite winter traditions. 10.5% ABV
APLOS SPIRITS * Non-Alcoholic Spirits
Designed to deliver a moment of calm and clarity, Aplós features premium ingredients like yuzu, basil, and rosemary, creating complex, sophisticated flavors. Whether sipped neat, over ice, or mixed into an inventive mocktail, Aplós is perfect for those seeking a mindful, alcohol-free alternative. Smooth, balanced, and undeniably elegant, it’s more than a drink—it’s an experience of intentional relaxation. 0.00% ABV
