Santa’s Butt tasted better than I expected…

On the third day of Christmas, I cracked open Santa’s Butt.  Wait, that doesn’t sound too good, does it?

Santa’s Butt is a hearty winter porter, dark in color and malty in taste, not too heavy.  It was actually very good.

Ridgeway Brewery is a small brewery in South Stoke, England, and many of their beers are holiday themed seasonal.  The label for Santa’s Butt actually caused some controversy for its importer back in 2005 and 2006.  Several states objected to the image of the jolly old posterior on the label, but “butt” actually refers to the barrel Santa is sitting on.

Here’s the explanation on the label.
