Back to my backyard for the next advent beer. It comes from Hop Secret Brewery in Monrovia and it is Winter Wit.
“Introducing our spiced holiday ale, brewed with Papua New Guinea Vanilla Beans, Cinnamon, Orange Peel, and Coriander. This delightful combination will transport your taste buds to a cozy, festive paradise.”
Time to skate over from pilsner to lager and a beer you will find all over the country in Sam Adams Winter Lager.
“Same old holiday? Not this year. Sam Adams Winter Lager is brewed with cinnamon and orange peel — no baking required. Full-bodied, festive flavors and smooth as a sleigh ride, bring an unexpected twist to your holiday parties.”
Let’s take a step back from two straight cold IPA’s and highlight a pilsner instead, a Winter Pils from Short’s Brewing.
“Made with all Michigan ingredients from Empire Malting Co, Great Lakes Malting Company, Valley View Farms, MI Local Hops, and Hop Alliance, our Imperial Pilsner is ready for brilliant snow days and the long, dark nights of Michigan winter.”
