We know, we know—we’re late! Yes, save yourself a phone call because there is indeed a tasting tomorrow (11/29, 5-7pm). We’re sampling some brews that will take the chill out of winter. See you there! We’ll bring cheese.

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale // “The long, cold nights of winter are a little brighter with Celebration Ale. Wonderfully robust and rich, Celebration Ale is dry-hopped for a lively, intense aroma. Brewed especially for the holidays, it is perfect for a festive gathering or for a quiet evening at home.” [American IPA / 6.8% abv / BeerAdvocate Rating: 90]

Anderson Valley Winter Solstice // “Luscious, creamy, smooth, and warming, this medium-bodied ale is brewed with Caramel and crystal malts to give it just a hint of sweetness, then paired with our private blend of holiday spice. Winter Solstice Ale is great alone or as an accompaniment to any meal, and it has been known to liven and spice up nearly any social event.” [Winter Warmer / 6.9% abv / BeerAdvocate Rating: 86]

Sweetwater Festive Ale // “A full-bodied, high-octane brew capped off with our use of cinnamon and mace. This beer will warm you all the way to your bones. Brewed only one day a year.” [Winter Warmer / 8.6% abv / BeerAdvocate Rating: 85]

Le Baladin Noël // “Le Baladin Noël is brewed in the tradition of an ancient winter warmer. A strong complex ale with an incredible complexity of aromas: flowery of rose, hint of dried fruits, caramel tasting, banana, cherry, plum, toffee, cocoa, licorice and peppery notes. Excellent with black chocolate, a glass of Nöel is perfect for a special night.” [Belgian Strong Dark / 9.0% abv / BeerAdvocate Rating: 87]
