Miller Lite is taking the whole drink in front of the fireplace thing quite literally. Today, the macro brewer released YuleLager, or a beer-pouring fireplace inspired by the famous yule log. Now, folks can have a good nightcap drink before a beer-dispensing pretend hearth.

What’s included? For starters, an LED screen playing an 8-hour loop of burning wood. You also get a pouring contraption meant to look like a chimney withe a custom tap handle. What’s more, there’s audio mimicking crackling fire sounds, spare beer storage, and hooks to hang stockings.

For Miller Lite and inexpensive domestic beer fans, Christmas seems to have come early. And don’t worry, the thing could not be easier to use. Just plug it all in and add your own stash of beer to the chimney system for cold-keeping.

“As a beer brand known for going all out during the holidays, we wanted to create an epic item that encourages fans to come together with friends and family over something as simple and satisfying as Miller Lite,” says Alan Bremerkamp, director of marketing for Miller Lite. “That’s why we created the Miller Lite YuleLager. Whether you like to go all out for the holidays, or just keep things simple, the Miller Lite YuleLager puts an all-new twist on gathering around the fire during all your festive moments.”

Ferment Brewing Company and Oregon Wildlife Foundation offer collab beer
An ale for frog safety
Ferment Red Legged Ale.

One of our favorite west coast breweries has teamed up with a local critter advocacy group in the name of our amphibian friends. Ferment Brewing has dropped the Red Legged Ale in partnership with the Oregon Wildlife Foundation (OWF), working together to support red-legged frogs of the Pacific Northwest.

Every year around this time, red-legged frogs move from Forest Park in Portland to wetlands closer to the Columbia River Gorge to lay eggs. It's a dangerous journey these days, given all the highways and roads in the area that have paved over their ancient migration route. The solution? Not just a delicious beer that helps support the cause, but a push for a protected route for the amphibians as well.
