The winter ale from Two Beers Brewing in Washington State is named for a piece of winter gear that you probably need your wits about to work.

“Dark and toasty, this warming winter ale offers notes of chocolate, date, plum, and orange with a dash of hops. The deep dark color and full flavored finish pair perfectly with winter nights, outdoor adventures, and holiday celebrations.”

Holiday Ale # 22 – Chocolate Night

Time to get a little chocolately today as the winter warmer heads to not so cold San Diego and Helms Brewing for Chocolate Night.

“This Imperial Stout is brewed with an immense amount of barley to attain its “warming” qualities at 9.7% ABV. In addition to the malts, a large amount of oatmeal is added to provide a creamy mouth feel and billowy head. Ghiradeli Milk Chocolate is added to the boil, while premium vanilla extract is added post fermentation to round everything out.”

Holiday Ale # 19 – Nice Lager

Our next holiday treat is for even the naughty people on Santa’s list. From the state capital of California comes Nice Lager from Rubicon Brewing.

“With the holidays upon us, we welcome you to a NICE holiday lager. Floral on the nose, spicy on the palette, and with caramel through to the finish, this hop forward lager is just what you’ve been asking for. Some good deeds do go unpunished.”
