The 8 best beer bottles for your Christmas beer
Christmas beers, also known as ‘winter beers’, are special brews produced in limited editions in the run-up to the festive season. Traditionally richer and stronger than classic beers, they are characterised by warm, spicy aromas, often achieved through the addition of spices.
Their colour varies from deep golden to amber brown, and their taste is often slightly sweet, with notes of caramel or dried fruit. These festive beers are the perfect accompaniment to hearty meals and festive get-togethers, bringing a touch of comfort and warmth to this time of year.
Find the perfect glass beer bottle for your Christmas beer
Christmas beer, also called October beer, is one of the seasonal beers. It is difficult to know the true history of this typical beer. But in the 18th century, beer storage did not allow beers to be kept during the summer. That is why brewers followed the rhythm of the seasons to produce the precious beverage. Originally, a seasonal beer is therefore a beer produced in the winter season for the new season.
Christmas beers are brewed for the festive season. Several breweries now offer a special beer in their assortment. It is a beer flavoured with spices or citrus fruits. Christmas beers are beers with a higher alcohol content, amber or brown with a much stronger taste. You will find aromas that are often found at Christmas markets, such as: cinnamon, toasted bread, caramel, chestnut or pine. Because this beer is so special and often stands out from a brand’s product range, it is often packaged in a special glass bottle.

#4 Beer bottle with the name of your customer
The trend towards hyper-customisation is growing every year in all sectors. Customers want to be approached individually and personally, and that starts with the packaging. Beer bottles can now be personalised with the same logo but with different names. A great gift for any beer lover and to strengthen the image of your brewery.
#3 Numbering your beer bottle
Unique beers have their place in unique beer bottles. A beer bottle or the beer itself becomes even more unique when it is limited and numbered.
#2 Beer bottle with embossing
Digital printing on beer bottles allows all senses to be united on the same beer bottle. Now the beer bottle becomes a tactile experience thanks to a three-dimensional effect. Transparent and coloured relief is now possible. Until now, a custom-made beer bottle required long and expensive investments in terms of design and planning, but also in production. This process has made it virtually impossible for microbreweries to produce tailor-made beer bottles. You rarely see a beer in a custom-designed beer bottle. With 3D printing, breweries can make a strong differentiation on a beer bottle, turning the standard bottle into a work of art.
#1 Personalised beer bottle in black glass
Opt for a personalised beer bottle in black glass for even more prestige for the Christmas days!
