Looking for a fun, old-fashioned, family Christmas? Look no further than your nearest grocery store.
This season the minds behind Short’s Brewing have brought to life one of the most beloved holiday comedies of all time—in liquid form. The National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Variety Pack features four brand-new beers inspired by the 1989 film. The Short’s team worked in partnership with Warner Bros. Global Consumer Products to create unique brews depicting their favorite scenes.
“It wasn’t easy to narrow down our ideas down to four scenes from the film since there are so many to choose from.” stated Christa Brenner, marketing director for the brewery. “We ended up polling our entire staff to make sure each idea resonated outside of our product development meetings.”
The variety pack features four brand-new beers with illustrations to match. The beers are a range of styles to suit a family of flavors, and each can features a quote from the film along with a timestamp so consumers can enjoy when they watch this holiday season. There are three of each beer in the twelve pack, perfect for any movie night.
The beers, inspired by the film, include:
“Bonus Check”: The antithesis to midwest winters: Tropical fruit lager, with coconut, pineapple, and orange flavors.
“That There’s an RV”: Nut-brown ale with corn that is roasty and toasty with chocolate, caramel, and nutty flavors.
“Nine Lives” IPA with a spark of lemon: sessionable, refreshing, and crushable with great hop flavor.
“Jelly of the Month”: Berry jam ale with enormous fruit flavors of strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry.
The variety pack is available now for a limited time in the following states: Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Colorado, Florida, and Nebraska.
