Peppermint is one of the biggest flavors of the holiday season, so we’re down to try any treat that incorporates candy canes. DuClaw Brewing Company, which has created beers using Fruity Pebbles cereal and Skittles, is ready for Christmastime with the new PastryArchy Candy Cane imperial Irish stout.

The beer is brewed with Tahitian vanilla bean, mint, vanilla, and lactose, and has notes of peppermint, roasty malts, and deep chocolate, a PR rep confirmed to Best Products. With 8.5% ABV, the flavor combination sounds like just the cozy, festive sip we want around the holidays!

The candy cane-inspired brew will be released in early November on tap, as well as in 16-ounce four-packs and kegs. You’ll be able to find it in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

“We’re excited to turn the nostalgic American holiday staple into something fun for adults,” Chris Wood, DuClaw director of brewery operations, said in a press release. “We wanted to create a recipe that does the nostalgic treat justice, while also giving a new twist. We first deconstructed the flavors from the classic candy cane, and then built a recipe that is not too sweet, but rich with depth of flavor.”

This dark beer will be around for a limited time, so you might want to stock up to guarantee you’re set for the season. After all, nothing brings people together like the holidays and a bit of booze.
