Abomination Brewing has never been interested in subtlety, and that’s precisely the point. Founded in 2017 by homebrewing friends Joe Feldman and Josh Arno, Abomination emerged from Connecticut’s brewing shadows with a mission that felt part mad science, part sugar-fueled prophecy: take indulgence seriously and push it until it glows. What began as a nomadic, Kickstarter-born experiment quickly became a calling card for plush hazy IPAs, milkshake excess, and pastry stouts that flirt shamelessly with dessert while still remembering they’re beer. Abomination’s real expertise lives in that narrow, dangerous lane where overload becomes art, where hops, lactose, spice, and roast are stacked high but handled with just enough control to make the chaos feel intentional rather than accidental.
Which makes the second day of 2026 a fitting moment to lean back into their orbit. After resolutions and restraint, after clean slates and clear glasses, this flight is the indulgent counterpoint — a reminder that joy still matters. These beers wander through snowdrifts of lactose and hops, fog banks of spice and vanilla, overgrown gardens of tropical haze, and finally into the dark, boozy heart of pastry stout excess. This Abomination flight isn’t about starting over; it’s about luxuriating where you land, letting winter stretch out a little longer, and allowing the year to unfold with richness, absurdity, and a grin.
Peaks & Pints Abomination Beer Flight
Abomination Wandering Into the Snow
9.1% ABV | Imperial Milkshake IPA | New Haven, Connecticut
A winter daydream in slow motion, this hazy indulgence drifts through soft marshmallow sweetness and a creamy lactose hush, lifted by a bright swirl of tropical hop glow that keeps it playful instead of precious. Sticky boots, sugar-dusted air, and the feeling that getting lost on purpose might actually be the point, this is snowfall rendered lush and luminous.
Abomination Fog Nog
9.1% ABV | Imperial Milkshake IPA
Holiday chaos, shaken and served, vanilla cream and citrus peel folding into gentle baking spice and hop saturation that feels both decadent and mischievous. The texture is plush, the aromatics loud, the vibe somewhere between dessert course and fever dream, a milkshake IPA that blurs boundaries and smiles while doing it.
Abomination Rotting Earth
9.3% ABV | Double New England IPA
Despite the ominous name, the glass glows with tropical excess, ripe mango, citrus oil, and dank green resin churning together like an overgrown garden after a warm rain. Soft-edged but deeply layered, this is abundance masquerading as decay, a hazy IPA that moves slowly and deliberately, luxuriating in its own juiciness.
Abomination Santa’s Black Blood
13.3% ABV | Imperial Pastry Stout
Pitch-black and unapologetic, this stout pours like winter after dark, cocoa-heavy roast wrapped in vanilla-soaked velvet and a warming swirl of eggnog spice that feels delightfully improper. It’s a holiday indulgence turned up past reason, a dessert-course closer built for sipping slowly, laughing quietly, and ignoring anyone who says “just one more.”
