Beer Advent Calendar – Day 10: Widmer Brrr presented by Charlie Herrin

@BeerTravelerTV, @Widmer_Brothers

To celebrate the Holiday Season, 2Beerguys.com and Seacoastbeveragelab.com have teamed up with beer bloggers around the country to host the third annual beer bloggers advent calendar. This is the season of sharing and we intend to share our love of beer with you.  31 Bloggers Bloggingclick here for the running list of beers/bloggers.

Let’s see who is spreading holiday cheer today!

Blogger: Charlie Herrin
Blog Name: The Beer Traveler
Twitter/Facebook/Untappd: BeerTravelerTV
Beer: Brr Seasonal Ale
Brewery: Widmer Brothers Brewing, Portland, OR

Beer Details:

  • Style: North West Red Ale
  • ABV: 7.2%
  • IBU: 50

Commercial Description:
Brrr Seasonal Ale is a hoppy Northwest-style red ale, which is a departure from many dark malt-driven winter warmers, with a deep red, rich body and a hearty malt presence. The addition of Simcoe and Cascade hops give it a big citrusy hop aroma, while our proprietary Alchemy hop blend provides a balanced bitterness to complement the sweet malt profile.

 

Why I selected Widmer Brrr:
I chose Brr Seasonal Ale so that everyone all over the country reading this post and celebrating the holidays could go out to their local grocery store and pick up a six pack of Brr Seasonal Ale and join me in enjoying a cold one.

Even better, on December 29th crack one open and either instagram or tweet a photo of you enjoying the beer with the hash tag #BeerTravelersBirthday. It’ll kinda be like we were enjoying our beer all together. I will do the same.

About Beer Traveler TV:
I feel honored to be chosen to write for the 31 Beers of December, keeping company with some incredibly talented bloggers.

Craft beer has become a huge part of my life. I’m an avid home brewer and just recently brewed my first professional beer with my friends at Fort George Brewing in Astoria, Oregon. During festival season you can usually find me out and about somewhere in the Northwest as a volunteer pouring beer. Like all of you I read just about everything I can get my hands on to learn as much as I can about the industry I love so much. When I am not brewing or reading I’m actually working on our TV series about craft beer. If you’re interested we have a few episodes up on our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/BeerTravelerTV).

With some hard work and good luck you will find us on one of your cable channels soon.  Learn more at www.TheBeerTraveler.com
