Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Loston Bahger new from Ambitious Ales is a bit of a tongue twister and spell checker but is also a nice homage to the OG amber lager from a certain East Coast brewery. Might be a good choice for those that want a summer beer but with a little more heft to it.
For today’s holiday ale, we get a little bit of the flannel look from the only U.S. Trappist brewery, Spencer who bring us a honey spiced amber lager as their take on the Winter Warmer.
Since last month was light and local, this month we go towards chocolate flavors and expand our reach from Pennsylvania and up the coast of California as far as Paso Robles.

Surf Brewery / Surfer’s Point Amber 5.00% ABV
” Named after our local surf break by the pier, Surfer’s Point, this amber Lager is brewed in the style of a Vienna Lager. The beer brings a clean malt sweetness balanced against American noble hops. Featuring soft notes of toasted bread and hints of chocolate wrapped up with a clean lager.”

BarrelHouse Brewing / Stout 6.00% ABV
” Since the first batch, our people can’t get enough of this creamy, complex, drinkable stout. We crafted this unfiltered brew with oats for creaminess, lactose for sweetness, Belgian dark syrups for intense dark fruit notes, dark malts for a hint of chocolate and coffee roast, and just enough hops for an award winning bittersweet finish. The perfect beer made for the perfect moment. “

Victory Brewing / Deep Cocoa 8.50 % ABV
“We’ve unlocked the mysteries and nuances of malts to deliver these luxurious and provocative flavors in this complex and satisfying porter. Raise your glass and taste the Victory of Deep Cocoa! Aromas of roasted malts blend with deep, dark chocolate in this bold and intense chocolate porter. The deceptively light body bursts with chocolate and nuttiness finishing with a lingering chocolate bitterness”
