ReBrew: A five-pack of San Diego holiday beers

• Gnoel de Abbey, by The Lost Abbey — An 8.5% ABV holiday brown ale that offers cocoa, vanilla and holiday spices.
• Home for Holihaze, a collaboration brew from Pure Project and Burgeon Beer Company — The fifth iteration of this double hazy IPA from two of the region's best breweries is a holiday beer made for San Diego — more hoppy and refreshing, less spicy and cozy.
• Santa's Little Helper, by Pizza Port Brewing Company — After years of being brewed by Port Brewing Co., this imperial stout is now a Pizza Port product, but still brings the coffee and chocolate flavor with 10% ABV.
• Xocoveza, by Stone Brewing — Billed as "inspired by Mexican hot chocolate," Xocoveza grew into a seasonal tradition after success as a one-off special release.
• Holiday Hero by AleSmith Brewing Company — Yep, another imperial stout, this one packed with chocolate, vanilla and nutmeg.

The bottom line: Pop into your neighborhood tasting room and let us know what other holiday beers stand out.
