Given our neighborhood's Nordic heritage, we thought It would be fun to brew a holiday beer that leaned Into Scandinavian traditions. Taking Inspiration from the Christmas bread that Ballard bakeries sell this time of year, we brewed a strong, malty lager accented with cardamom and fermented with a Norwegian Kviek yeast for a touch of fruity character. Floral and fruity on the nose, Julebokk combines notes of baking spice with a pleasant level of balancing bitterness on the palate.
