I am currently enjoying St. Arnolds special Christmas ale, alternating with chocolate stout which definitely becomes a different beer when a bit warm.
happy holidays

Turns out it's just IPAs, and not all of them. Odd. Am wondering if it's a certain kind of hops, but I haven't kept track well enough to know.Quote:

Upland Brewery has a fine chocolate Imperial Russian Stout seasonal by the name of "Teddy Bear Kisses" Wonderful! It is the first time that an ounce of beer actually warmed my stomach. For some little time :) I think that is from the 10.5% alcohol content...but it is a wonderful winter beer. It actually doesn't taste quite like beer to me, but it is quite yummy. If you are in Indiana, or otherwise have access to this holiday seasonal, it is worth getting it.
That sounds pretty good...Quote:

Pity I missed out on the Great Lakes Christmas Ale this year.
New Belgium has brought Fat Tire to the east coast. I'm one very happy girl!
Maybe we'll eventually find it here. I had one once, at DBF's dad's request (they live in AZ) and I wasn't sure what to think of it. I'd like to try it again without having to buy a plane ticket first.
Sorry Owlie, not available in Ohio yet (or Kentucky, but New Belgium distributes to Indiana). They have a cool feature on their website - Libation Locator - which allows you to put in an address and select the beer you're looking for, and they'll tell you the closest available location. The best part is their distance choices - within biking distance (5 miles), within public transit distance (10 miles), within marathon distance, etc. It just makes me smile!
I'm starting to think Ohio is some kind of bizarre island, and all of the good stuff just drifts on by. (This goes for beer and bikes. I had a conversation to this effect with the LBS guy about the lack of event rides/MTBing/cyclocross here.) :confused:
Maybe I should move. It's going to look a little weird if I get stopped with a carload of beer and a CX bike...
Now if only Pennsylvania would bring Yuengling to the west coast. I'd be ecstatic!Quote:

And the calendar is of a local brewery, part of Carlsberg Corporation. Shumensko (the name of the beer) is the most recognizable beer in Bulgaria.
Anelia - that looks very tasty!
