Jolly Saint Nico: A Kölsch for Christmas, and Christmas only!

As the holiday season approaches, beer lovers have something special to look forward to once again – Orbit Beers' limited edition Jolly Saint Nico, a festive Köln-style lager that's set to become your new Christmas companion.
 

What Makes Jolly Saint Nico Special?

Launched on November 4th, 2024, Jolly Saint Nico is more than just a seasonal beer – it's a carefully crafted celebration of Christmas flavours in a very drinkable way. Born from Orbit Beers' award-winning Nico Lager, this special edition brings a festive twist to the traditional Kölsch-style brew.
 

A Festive Flavour Profile

A beer that captures the essence of Christmas in every sip. Jolly Saint Nico pours a beautiful golden straw colour and offers:

  • Warming winter spices: Nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice
  • Gentle citrus notes
  • Subtle herbal hop aroma
  • A touch of bready maltiness

At 4.8% ABV, it's the perfect strength for holiday celebrations – strong enough to be interesting, but light enough to enjoy throughout the evening.

For the best experience, we recommend serving Jolly Saint Nico in a traditional Kölsch glass, slightly chilled – just cool enough to let those spices shine without overpowering the malt.
 

Perfect Pairings

Designed specifically to complement your Christmas dinner, Jolly Saint Nico pairs beautifully with:
  • Roast turkey
  • Pork crackling
  • Roasted chestnuts
  • Comté cheese
  • Apple strudel


Hand-crafted Beer Meets Holiday Cheer

What sets Jolly Saint Nico apart:
  • Gluten-free
  • Vegan-friendly
  • Brewed using premium Lager Malt and Chit Malt
  • Hopped with Pilgrim and Tettnang hops

Limited Edition – Get It While You Can

Part of our innovative White Label Series, Jolly Saint Nico is a limited release. Available in 33cl bottles and on tap at select locations, it's the ultimate stocking filler for beer enthusiasts.
