More Cold Mountain arrives today! It’s true, it’s true!

Pint Night @ Pinthouse is Highland Cold Mountain

News from Weyerbacher
Thanks to Adam at Beernews.org, we learn of not one, but TWO, new Weyerbacher seasonals in the Brewers Select Series. First will be Weyerbacher Delta—a 7.3% abv holiday stout made with ginger root, cinnamon and molasses to taste like ginger snaps—followed by Weyerbacher Fireside, aka Charlie “resurrected,” 7.4% abv dark ale made with smoked malt.
