Lovin’ the Fife Street Lights
December 4, 2025
You couldn’t have a more festive location this holiday season than at Fife Street Brewing in Charleston, West Virginia. I am definitely including the beer in that “festive” definition. It’s jingle all the way.

Come see the lights; stay for the beer
It’s not just the holiday lights from Holly Jolly Brawley that make it such a special place. Brewer Gil Peterson and crew have delivered a beautiful line-up of seasonal delights for their beer menu. That’s what truly lights up the taproom. DeLIGHTful.
| BEER NAME | STYLE | ABV % | DETAIL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fife Finds A Way | Gruit | 5.5 | Ancient ale flavored with yarrow, bog myrtle, rosemary, nutmeg & Hilltop Honey (No hops) |
| Miracle on Thirty-Fife Street | Christmas Ale | 10.5 | Belgian Quad flavored with orange peel, clove, nutmeg & cinnamon |
| Schoenwinkel | Belgian Tripel | 8.2 | Straight up Tripel. Golden color; fruity esters and hints of bubble gum |
| Wee Heavy | Scottish Ale | 8.5 | Beautiful amber malt with a lightly smoky flavor |
| Sternwheeler Stout | Imperial Stout | 9.8 | Rich, dark and toasty. Sweeter finish. |
While we think the Fife Street brewers do excel in the higher ABV and flavored beers, we realize those styles are not for everyone. So just be reminded that Fife Street also offers its popular and tasty list of standard brews, such as Charleston Beer Golden Ale, Summers Street Wheat, Charlie West Coast IPA, Chuck’s P-51 Porter, along with others. They got a tasty food menu too.

Fife After Dark
And if you haven’t stopped by Fife after dark yet this season, get over there and see the great job the city has done with Brawley Walkway and Slack Plaza. Request a PODA cup and enjoy your beer out among the enchanted Christmas tree forest. It truly lights up the night.

Fife for New Year’s Eve
For the first time, Fife Street Brewing will be holding what promises to be a beautiful New Year’s Eve party at the brewery taproom. The ticketed event will kick off in the evening of December 31 and run through the midnight hour. One highlight is that attendees will receive a special keepsake glass full of the event’s featured beer, which will be a Chocolate Raspberry Porter.
The Company Stores band will provide the music. Watch Fife’s social media for ticket information.
