Nothing says Christmastime like the taste of gingerbread cookies. To prove that point, Denver breweries are introducing their holiday Gingerbread Beers. That’s right, delicious beers with the flavors of cinnamon, ginger, clove and many other warm seasonal spices with just a touch of sweetness. Where do we find these festive beers? See the list below.

Bruz Beers
In North Denver, Bruz has released a Gingerbread Dubbel ready to please the beer crowds. Available in the tap room only. (1675 W. 67th Ave., Ste. 110; 303-650-2337)

CAUTION: Brewing
The crazies at Caution took actual gingerbread cookies and threw them into the brewing process to create the Gingerbread Stout. It is draft-only at the brewery and tap room in Lakewood. (1057 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Ste 60; 970-315-2739)

Lone Tree Brewing
English Old Ale is Lone Tree’s winter seasonal and is brewed with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. The brewery says it is like drinking a snickerdoodle cookie that finishes dry.
