🎄🎅 🎬 Christmas Movie Pairings

Christmas Movie: Krampus

If the Halloween season went by too quickly for your liking and you’re still itching for some horror (but not too horror-y), may I suggest giving Krampus a go. It’s a criminally underappreciated horror/comedy from the mid 2010’s with a stellar cast (Adam Scott and Toni Collette!) and it has excellent practical effects. Truly a perfect balance of spooky and silly! Perfectly balanced…just like Dieu du Ciel’s famous Peche Mortel Imperial Coffee Stout! A great “watching a movie” beer, it’s deep and rich and rewarding with a little kick of espresso to keep you from nodding off on the couch.
