Huyghe Delirium Christmas

Special beers and winter/Christmas are a tradition dating back centuries. Today, most breweries carry on that tradition with what’s often one of the most anticipated seasonal releases of their release calendar. Brouwerij Huyghe, most famous for its Delirium Tremens beer, is no exception.  Their highly anticipated Delirium Christmas makes its way to American shores in early fall and from there, across the rails and roads of the United States to distributors and stores everywhere.

Huyghe’s Delirium line of beers is famous for the pink elephant that adorns every label on every ceramic painted bottle. The Christmas labels are no exception.  Skiing, sledding, pulling Santa’s sleigh; the Pink Elephant does it all.
