Seems like I just posted my top ten beer recommendations for autumn but it's time for winter beers. This season produces a lot of really good small production seasonals in the forms of Christmas beers and winter warmers. Christmas beers are often malty and complex. Some are made with fruit or spice and some rely on artful malt or hops combinations for wonderful complexity. The winter warmers are similar though they are rarely made with any adjuncts. Both contain higher than usual amounts of alcohol.
And so, in no particular order, here are my wintertime beer recommendations for 2006.
Although this top ten list includes a couple of my favorites, it also neglects some of them as well. I would like to know what the opinions of fellow FReepers are regarding this wonderful and festive beer season.
Excellent, but you are missing out. The palate yearns for different and new tatse sensations. Happy New Year!
Are these local only brews? In Michigan?
A belated merry Christmas to you!
Darn! They do not distribute in Oregon. I will have to wait until I have a friend going to Chicago to sample some of these.
It's sweeeeeet.
not yet. but we don't get to many oregon brews here either :)
another of my favourites is dogfish head out in delaware. their snowblower ale is pretty good too.. and probably just as hard to find :(
I don't get it. :-|
Man, you're sick......
Just get a bottle of BudLight. or 12.
eh.. i like something with flavour, not something that tastes like peanuts water.
BTW.. have i ever mentioned that my bar has 10 beers on draft, and NONE of them are AB products? :)
I would fix that if I were you.
Only if you like writing your name in the snow.
I knew a chick that could do that.
God love er...
Beer ping.
Earlier this week I sampled a titanic Russian Imperial Stout that came in at over 10%. I could feel the cockles of my heart glowing...
