Text from the bottle label: Anchor Merry Christmas 1995 Happy New Year Ale - This is the twenty-first Special Ale from the brewers at Anchor. It is only sold from late November to early January. The Ale's recipe is different every year, but the intent with which we offer it remains the same: joy and celebration of the newness of life. A tree is the ancient sign for the winter solstice when the earth with its seasons appears born anew. Brewed and bottled by Anchor Brewing CO., San Francisco, CA.
