From rich stouts to easy-drinking lagers, we’ve rounded up the most popular beers to serve at Christmas parties in 2025.
Cold kegs, festive flavours, and zero bottle waste let’s get the party started.
1. Guinness – The Classic Winter Pint
Rich, smooth, and iconic. Guinness is a staple at any Christmas party especially when it’s cold outside. Its velvety texture and creamy head make it the ideal winter warmer, pairing perfectly with hearty Christmas snacks and roast dinners.
2. Camden Hells – Crisp Lager for Everyone
Not everyone wants dark or heavy and that’s where Camden Hells comes in. This modern London lager is clean, balanced, and seriously sessionable. A safe bet for mixed guest lists and larger groups.
3. Fuller’s London Pride – British Ale with Festive Feels
A rich amber ale with notes of caramel, malt, and gentle bitterness. Fuller’s London Pride is a crowd-pleaser and a great pick for more traditional drinkers or pub-style parties. Warm, welcoming, and perfect for December.
4. Beavertown Neck Oil – Craft for the Crowd
Bring a bit of edge to your party with Neck Oil a light, juicy session IPA that even non-IPA drinkers enjoy. It adds variety to your bar and is great for evening parties where something flavourful (but not too heavy) is needed.
5. Thatchers Gold – Sweet, Chill & Gluten-Free
A refreshing cider is a must for any party where not everyone is into beer. Thatchers Gold is fruity, lightly sparkling, and naturally gluten-free making it an inclusive choice for your Christmas keg lineup.
6. Seasonal Guest Brew – Limited Editions Available
We regularly stock limited edition and seasonal brews from UK craft breweries. Think spiced ales, winter IPAs, or even a festive lager perfect for adding a unique touch to your party.
