The Winter Seasonals Are Here
It's the end of daylight savings time, and here in Seattle, it means overcast and drizzly days and commuting home in the dark. But my spirits aren't down. That's because I have my own way of cheering myself up: Seasonal Beers.
Ok, strictly speaking there are seasonal beers for every season, but the winter seasonals are the ones that I love. Dark ales, porters and stouts all help warm the cockles even though the feet may be soaked. Here's a quick rundown of the (mostly) local beers I'm most excited about this winter:
- 2° Below, New Belgium Brewery
- Alaskan Winter Ale, Alaskan Brewery
- Bifröst, Elysian Brewing Company
- Celebration Ale, Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
- Christmas Ale, Anchor Brewing
- Festivus, Roots Organic Brewing
- Jolly Roger Christmas Ale, Maritime Pacific Brewing Company
- Jubelale, Deschutes Brewery
- Snow Cap, Pyramid Brewery
- Snow Plow, Widmer Brothers
- Ten Degrees Below, Scuttlebutt Brewing Company
- Wassail, Full Sail Brewing Company
- Wee Heavy Winter Ale, Hale's Ales
- Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale, Anderson Valley Brewing Company
- Winterfish, Fish Brewing Company
- Winterhook, Red Hook Ale Brewery
For my own notes, I'll be updating this list of winter beers as I consume them.
