Brewed just for the magic of Christmasville, our limited-release Spruce Tip IPA brings the crisp essence of winter straight to your glass. Fresh spruce tips add bright evergreen aromatics, subtle citrus, and a resinous pop that perfectly complements the IPA’s hop-forward backbone.
This special collaboration between Primal Brewery and Main Street Bottle Shop is exclusive to Christmasville—we’re the only spot downtown pouring it during the festival. Once it’s gone, it’s gone!

On tap at Sweetwater Sports Bar, served in a pint glass
Pours a clear golden orange color with a small foamy off white head that slowly recedes, leaving behind very little lacing.
The aroma is fairly subdued, citrus, and piney hops, with a mild caramel forward malt background. Not much in the way of spruce
The flavor is citrusy & piney hops, with a nice sweetish malt character. Just a hint of spruce. Medium/light bodied and moderately carbonated, sticky mouthfeel.
Overall, a decent IPA, but not really enough spruce to notice if it wasn't in the name
