Winter Beers
Ok since the time of year is upon us when the winter brews come out I decided they needed their own thread. Feel free to list some favorites, reviews, dislikes, etc.
Im a big fan of the Sam Adams Winter Lager and Blue Moon's Full Moon. Last night I decided to give this one a try: Not my pic but figured Id add it for reference. It was pretty decent. If you like SN's Pale Ale youll probably like this one. Pretty decent taste and only $9 a six pack. This year Im gonna have to track down some of the Great Lakes Christmas Ale thats really popular out here. I wanted to last year but the only place I found it(towards end of holiday season) wanted 15 or 16 bucks for the sixxer and I couldnt justify it with being broke at the time. |

I have a sneaky brown ale (12% AC),hoppy bitter, and a Guinness clone aging right now. Now is the time for dark,full body beers.

Ive heard a lot of good things but havent gotten to try it yet. Im not sure where all its available seeing as how I live less than a half hour from where its brewed. Couple reviews of it below

In the winter I LOVE unfiltered wheat beers! The most common is Blue Moon, but some of the best (I've had) were from this brewery called Linenkugel.

Im a big fan of blue moon just because of the flavor and how smooth it is. I like all of their beers except the harvest moon. Ive have the sunset wheat from Linenkugel and it was a good one. Ill have to look into some of their other stuff.

I love Sam's Winter Lager. Might have to pick up a case soon. Or today for that matter.

Yeah it was very tough to pass it up when I bought the Sierra Nevada a couple days ago but I was in the mood to try something different. Thatll most likely be the next beer in my fridge.

I like the Pale Ale...so if the distro has the winter SN I might give it a try.
