That was a great post, Zak. I'm glad that winter beer is getting some love considering the fact I think it might be one of the least favorite of all seasonals--- when it comes to the consumer's opinion. Ahead of winter would probably be summer and oktoberfest...wouldn't you say?<BR/><BR/>On this note, recently I bought a 12pk of Capital Brewery's Winter Skaal--That was probably one of the better decisions I've made in the last month or so. The Skaal is very smooth without any bite whatsoever.<BR/>Also, I know this doesn't technically qualify as a "winter brew", but Dan Carey's (New Glarus' Brewmaster (if you don't know, shame on you!)) latest unplugged batch is quite a hit.<BR/>He's brewed up an Apple Ale that's quite tasty! Using apples from Gays Mills (one of Zak's favorite vacation destinations) he made this cider like brew that has little to no carbonation in it.<BR/>If you're expecting a beer, forget it. This beverage pours, smells, tastes and looks just like a cider.<BR/>If you haven't tried it, please, get out and buy one before they're all gone. <BR/>The fun part about Mr. Carey's unplugged brews is that we may never see them again. It definatly adds to his beers' nostalgia. So like I said....drop your computer and go buy some beer!Ben Lenoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690704614672174020noreply@blogger.com
