After #KrampusNight comes #StNicholasDay, celebrating the arrival of St. Nicholas on December 6 who brings gifts to children. St. Nick is, of course, the precursor to the modern-day Santa Claus, so for the #BeerAdventCalendar pick of the day we commemorate the holiday with a Santa-themed #beer—Bad Santa Cascadian Dark Ale from Oregon’s #PelicanBrewing.

Watch out, Krampus is on his way!
I hope you've been good enough that he won't catch you.
Have a wonderful St. Nicholas Day anyway!

#Krampus is a kind of true, isn't he?

Tonight is #KrampusNight, taking place on the even of #StNicholasDay, in which beastly #Krampus accompanies St. Nick to punish misbehaving children as Nicholas rewards the well-behaved. It’s only fitting to select an #AdventCalendar beer to commemorate #Krampusnacht, so today we visit New Jersey’s #SevenTribesmenBrewery to enjoy the brewery’s Krampusz, a spiced winter ale.

#FiXatoCommentsOn B. Dylan Hollis' #Pfeffernüsse recipe:

In the Netherlands these 'kruidnoten' (literally: spice nuts), as they are called in Dutch, are still a traditional treat around St. Nicholas Day, 5th/6th of December. (Though I've yet to see them with an icing coating; white, milk, dark chocolate coatings however, are common; and tasty!). They usually already arrive in shops around September/October though.
Though they are colloquially also known as 'pepernoten' (literally: pepper nuts), those are technically a different treat; where kruidnoten are small and crispy, pepernoten are bigger and more chewy. As wikipedia describes it: "They are light brown, square shaped, and made from the same ingredients as taai-taai : rye flour, sugar and anise, and sometimes also cinnamon, and clove. They are fairly chewy, though they harden gradually when exposed to the air."

You should find a recipe for taai-taai (pronounced similar to 'Thai Thai', I guess); you might find that interesting to make and taste too.
