Your entire holiday table, beer-infused and really easy

Because holiday feasts should be more about clinking bottles than cleaning dishes, our menu is completely beer-infused—yep, a brew in every dish!—and easy as pie (and we made that simpler, too). A turkey breast instead of a whole bird means less time watching the oven; revamped classic sides keeps the table fresh; and two desserts make a sweet ending to a stress-free spread.
