A crafty reimagination of tradition

Stout beer has quite the history. Originating in the pubs of 17th-century London, it was a hit among the working class. But things got interesting in the '80s when American craft brewers put their own spin on the traditional European methods. Today, this classic brew continues to evolve and delight beer enthusiasts worldwide.

Engkanto Brewmaster Michael 'MJ' Jordan and Team Engkanto found the Stout as an exciting beer style to offer to local beer lovers for the holiday season, but it needed the right twist to entice discerning drinkers who aren't familiar yet with the style.

A favorite childhood sweet snack

Jose Mari Chan hit the perfect holiday vibe with 'Christmas in Our Hearts,' capturing the pure joy of the season right from the get-go by mentioning boys and girls in the opening line. Let's face it, the excitement of childhood reaches its peak when Christmas rolls around.

Team Engkanto rode that wave of nostalgia, sifting through childhood memories and stumbled upon the classic snack favorites. Turns out, the sweet charm of chocolate and the irresistible allure of peanut butter were crowd-pleasers. Lightbulb moment! Led by Brewmaster MJ, they decided to jazz up the timeless Stout beer with a tantalizing Choco Nut twist.

The team’s creative approach continues to solidify Engkanto’s identity by reimagining beers that are rooted in authentic Filipino ingredients, taste profiles, and local culture. Hence, it’s been their unshakeable guide in crafting this year’s seasonal offer.
