Let's toast to Christmas, meetings and reunions.
For Christmas lovers, December is a magical month. . The cities are dressed in their best lights and decorations, and the atmosphere is impregnated with an aura of illusion and contagious happiness . It's time to go home, family gatherings and reunions with friends . It is the time to sit around the table to catch up, eat without worries and generate resolutions to toast.
A glass of wine, bubbly champagne, and a “chin! chin!” that becomes the soundtrack of the night. However, there has never been anything better than telling our stories sharing a cold beer between laughs and jokes . This year, that foam finger that we like so much, also sneaks in at Christmas and brings with it the best of tradition, breaking, however, in the most innovative way possible.
As a good follower of these dates, you will have a place for those typical Christmas sweets that make us lose our minds. What if we told you that you no longer have to wait until the end to eat dessert? The solution arrives, like a drop from the sky, **under the name of Amstel Nougat**, Christmas locked inside a bottle of beer.
The news can still improve a little more, because it is not just any nougat. The total and absolute protagonist of this beer is **one of the most acclaimed sweets: Jijona nougat**. Two Levantine icons united in what is an embrace between tradition and innovation , with the purpose of honor the flavors of a community that has already conquered us.
The craftsmanship, the know-how, the love... These could be the ingredients of a beer that is born from the work of the Valencian brewers from Amstel together with the nougat masters from Jijona . Perhaps this is the idyllic link that we all expected.
The best of Jijona nougat and the best of Amstel, united.
And now what you are all wondering, what does it taste like? to beer? To nougat? The answer is: both . The peculiarity and features of Amstel Original , but the sweet taste of nougat It is the icing on the cake, which makes it a particular and unique beer.
Those of you who are not very daring trying new things, do not fear. Amstel Nougat reaffirms its golden appearance , the one that makes it look like liquid gold, and its characteristic foam , reason for using 100% malt, in addition to preserving its slight bitterness, fruit of Perle hops . To the old customs joins the aroma of nougat with honey that defines Jijona. As a result, in the mouth we taste the best of the Amstel beer that, this time, leaves behind a flavor of nougat with an aftertaste of dark chocolate and honey . This promises.
But the thing does not end here. Taking advantage of the fact that this time is the time to create bonds and strong ties, ** Cruzcampo has also wanted to be present ** at the upcoming dinners and has launched its 37th Christmas limited edition , bringing together the best of each house.
Again, an alliance that excites us. **The brewmasters of Jaén** have brewed a special beer for these dates every year, since 1982. Now, **they have joined forces with the brewmasters of La Fábrica Cruzcampo de Málaga**, bringing their experience in craft beer, Y they have co-created what is the star recipe for Christmas.
A sweet caramel flavor maintaining the body of a good beer. Chin Chin!
In this edition, it's time for a special Pilsen-type lager , and the one that gets all the attention is **a New Zealand hop (Motueka) **, very difficult to find. A full-fledged treasure hunt. Three types of malts (Pilsen, Vienna and Caramel) are responsible for the cereal and caramel flavor , to which are added herbaceous flavors, due to Chinnok hops . Now, the fruit aromas Cruzcampo badges merge with a balsamic aroma of Motueka hops. We can almost taste it just by hearing its ingredients.
Maybe it's these two beers the best companions of copious dinners that await us. Because this time is for that, to share, tell, listen and laugh , and we have always done that with a foam finger. The date changes, but we don't have to change what we like, who said beer wasn't for christmas?
