Père Noël by De Ranke: The Belgian Christmas Beer That Pairs Perfectly with Panettone

Père Noël from the Belgian brewery De Ranke is the beer dedicated to Santa Claus, who always hopes — in vain — that there will be some left for him after the Christmas Eve dinner. A classic Christmas beer that pairs perfectly with candied panettone and is not afraid of chocolate or dates, dried figs, and many other delightful end-of-meal treats.
