Santa’s Buttis a seasonal English porter brewed by Ridgeway Brewing that leans fully into holiday humor while remaining surprisingly traditional in the glass. The “butt” in question refers not only to the jolly visual of Santa perched on a barrel, but also to an old English term for a very large cask, grounding the joke in brewing history.
