Our Favorite Holiday Pairings

Beer & Food, they’re better together. Here at Tröegs, we’ve thought long and hard about not just what foods pair with our beers, but why. Contrasting flavors add a pleasant dimension while complementary notes amplify flavors that are already present. Make your next holiday get-together one you’ll never forget with these favorites:
It’s the most wonderful beer of the year!

Here at Tröegs, the holidays don’t start until we get our first taste of Mad Elf. At long last, the familiar flavors of ripened cherries, raw honey and cinnamon goodness have made their cheerful return and we couldn’t be happier. And now, things are even better with our Most Wonderful Beer of the Year can variety pack! Each 12-pack includes two cans of Perpetual IPA, Troegenator and Blizzard of Hops, plus Mad Elf, DreamWeaver Wheat and Chocolate Stout, all three of which are can-exclusives to this special holiday package.
Mad Elf blends

For those lucky enough to get their hands on our Most Wonderful Beer of the Year can variety pack, you can make some of our favorite Mad Elf blends right at home. Or you can check out a Mad Dreams event in your area! If you’re at home, here are two Mad Elf blending recipes to warm chilly winter nights:
Mad Dreams: Fill a chalice 70% full with DreamWeaver Wheat. Then fill the rest of the way with Mad Elf to create our classic holiday blend that we call Mad Dreams. The subtle clove from the DreamWeaver complement the cinnamon and allspice notes of Mad Elf perfectly.
Chocolate Elf: For a more decadent holiday beer blend, pour 50% Chocolate Stout and 50% Mad Elf into your favorite chalice for a beer loaded with chocolate-covered-cherry and spice notes.
