This winter warmer is an upper fermentation beer with a pronounced flavor of dark barley malts and winter spices, which perfectly complements potica and other sweet treats. Beer style: winter warmer Vintage: 2026 Alcohol content: 7.8% Packaging: 750 ml Unfiltered and unpasteurized. Every year — for more than ten years — we brew beer for friends and family who gather around a full festive table. This is our annual winter warmer, which is not exactly a beer style per se, but rather a designation of a broader brewing tradition at the end of the year. Winter warmer can also be interpreted in a more sensory way — as a beer that drives away the cold of long winter nights with the warmth of its flavors. The team gathers around Winter each year with a special enthusiasm. During the preparation of the final product, we are also warmed by the atmosphere created in the brewery. When Christmas classics resonate through the speakers, the entire team gets to work — we carefully hand-wrap each bottle, and every wrap carries a part of our story and dedication. This is not just about beer production; it is about a ritual and the magic of creation, where we can now call it a tradition and our need to do things our way. ABOUT PELICON WINTER BEER: Pelicon Winter is a dark beer brewed only once a year. A rich palette of special barley malts and winter spices matures for several months before the beer reaches your glasses. Each year the recipe is slightly different, which is why we also label each batch with the vintage year. The bottle is hand-wrapped in festive paper, which further emphasizes the highly anticipated seasonal brew. VINTAGE 2026: In this year's Winter, dark barley malts are combined with vanilla, licorice, and cinnamon, complemented by toasted oak and orange peel. The new annual filling continues our tradition of winter beer, each time with a slightly different recipe. Ingredients: water, barley malt (gluten), Belgian sugar, roasted barley (gluten), hops, winter spices: vanilla, licorice, cinnamon; toasted oak, orange peel, and yeast. Allergens: contains barley (gluten). ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE STYLE: Indulging a bit more during the holidays and having a more abundant table is considered the epitome of European culture. Brewers are no exception — for the “vahte” they indulged in a heftier portion of barley, higher alcohol, and even some expensive spices on top. In ancient times, spices also replaced hops, which were usually less in festive beers, so that the beer could also be heated if necessary — just as is done today with mulled wine. In England, there was even a tradition of soaking spiced and sweet Christmas bread in heated beer. This piece of history served as inspiration for us to create a beer that pairs well with Slovenian potica.
