“This Christmas” is a classic, taking the holidays by storm in the 80s. This is why a classic doppelbock is the best pairing for “This Christmas” (Terrible pun, intended.)

Mary’s Boy Child
Pair with a Barleywine

Boney M’s “Mary’s Boy Child” is a Christmas classic and a song you probably heard playing on repeat at your Grandmother’s house during the holidays. This song aged pretty well, so which is why we think it pairs perfectly with a barrel-aged barleywine.
