Full Sail Wassail – A Christmas Miracle!

Historically, brewers craft small batches of darker beers, generously adding extra hops and malts to make exceptionally robust, tasty ales to celebrate the season, and as a way of sharing the bounty of the season with their customers. We carry on this tradition with Wassail. Choosing our ingredients for Wassail is like taking time to choose the perfect gift. Each year we carefully select the best hops and malts to brew this special beer. This year’s Wassail is brewed with a range of caramel and dark chocolate malts giving it a deep mahogany color and a full, malty body.

We used a blend of European noble hops and Pacific Northwest aroma hops for a pleasantly hoppy finish creating a deliciously balanced beer that appeals to both hop and malt lovers alike. In other words, a Christmas miracle! It’s our gift from the brewery to you, our loyal beer patrons – it’s our way of giving thanks. We have brewed Wassail every holiday season since 1988 and it’s now as much a part of the festivities as sharing a roaring fire with our closest family and friends. Wassail is available now in six packs and at your favorite restaurant or pub. Get it while you can, it’s going fast.

Dry-Hopped Wassail – Christmas in a Glass!
Brewing Wassail is a long honored tradition here at Full Sail. This year, in addition to brewing our annual holiday favorite, we brewed a special dry-hopped batch. “Christmas in a glass,” says Brewmaster, Jamie Emmerson, as visions of piney, hoppy aromas with caramel back-notes dance in his head. Its full malty body with its caramel and chocolate flavors combined with a green citrus bitterness are sure to warm you for a long winter’s nap.

Dry-hopped Wassail will be available at the Holiday Ale Festival in Portland, Oregon, December 3rd to December 7th, and we will tap a batch at our Tasting Room and Pub in Hood River and at our Riverplace Brewery in Portland on Monday December 8th.
