The winter solstice brings the long-awaited return of our rich and ridiculously tasty Darkest Night Quad (DNQ). We’ll be pouring the ’23, ’24, and brand-new ’25 editions—plus our beloved barrel-aged version. If Belgian beers are your thing, Quadsmas is a celebration you won’t want to miss.

Why are Belgian Quads such a big deal? Let us tell you.
Belgian Quadrupels (or “Quads”) are the deep, contemplative giants of the monastic brewing world. Think huge notes of dark fruit, fig, raisin, and caramelized sugar; warming complexity; and a silky richness that is never cloying. These beers are traditionally brewed in small quantities, meant for sharing, cellaring, and savoring—often around winter holidays.

Quads are prized because they show what happens when simple ingredients meet patient, old-world technique: long boils, expressive Belgian yeast strains, careful fermentation, and time. The result is a beer that evolves year to year, gaining layers of flavor and character as it ages. It’s why side-by-side verticals are such a treat, and why this style holds a near-mythic status among Belgian beer lovers.

This year’s Quadsmas lets you taste that evolution for yourself, all in one night - or for as long as the kegs of cellared quads last!
