Days of the Beer, December 23

The beer for today is Sonaran Festivus.

Happy Festivus.

Festivus is an annual holiday created by Dan O'Keefe, and was introduced to popular culture by Daniel O'Keefe, who was a scriptwriter for Seinfeld. Originally Festivus was held in February, but was moved to December 23, based on the December 18, 1997 Seinfeld episode "The Strike".

The holiday includes the "Airing of Grievances", the "Feats of Strength", the "Festivus Pole", the "Festivus Dinner", and of course "Festivus Miracles".

Remember, Festivus is a holiday for the rest of us.

As to the beer:

Our most popular seasonal brew ever.... big malt and hop flavor... doesn't fit any particular style, but loads of whole fresh hallertau hops makes this beer one-of-a-kind and not to be forgotten....
Sonoran Brewing Company is located in Phoenix, Arizona. I am not sure if Festivus is still being made, however it is listed in their seasonal brews.

There are several Festivus beers out there, so if you find one, have a dance around the Festivus Pole.
