Frigid

When the EVs won’t charge and mom won’t leave the house because that ice is ready to bring you to the ground, plus it is Dry January, it means snowbound breweries could use some help.

I mentioned that January is already a historically slow craft beer month and a week of closures in many parts of the country brought on by snow and freezing rain and just don’t want to get out from under the bed covers weather were just the cherry on top of the economic woes sundae.

So, use that extra leap day this month to help. How, you ask?

If where you are at has beer available from breweries in the Pacific NW or Upper East Coast, buy those. If they have inventory that their locals could not buy, help out. It will also help your local bottle / can shoppe as well as distributor. You can also but merch for yourself or for gifts throughout the year.

Snowy Western NY Brewery # 1 – Pressure Drop Brewing

Our first stop is Allentown, aka Buffalo. Home of the Bills and QB1 Josh Allen. Pressure Drop Brewing is the place.

Here is what I would put into a snowy taster tray….

Not a Football Beer – “An ultra-crushable beer that’s great for not tailgating, not gathering with friends to watch the game at home, and not sitting in your favorite barstool to root for your team.”

Sticky Trees West Coast IPA – “Sticky Trees offers craft beer drinkers a well-balanced IPA with a moderate ABV and low IBU. We brew this IPA with Mosaic hops and malts typical of an IPA. The flavor is inspired by the variety of flavors a brewer can extract from Mosaic hops.”

Mochi House Hazy IPA – “Our first collab with Brazen Brewing!!! All the beautiful tropical notes of a New England IPA with a super soft feel to it, and the tiniest hint of bitter on the finish.”

Greetings from the North Pole – “This insanely delicious Milk Stout is brewed with a TON of chocolate roasted malts
and lactose for rich flavor and a sweet, creamy mouthfeel.”
