Commercial Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Weyerbacher we\u2019ve created a Winter Ale that is a must for any malty beer lover. Winner of a Silver Medal in the 1998 World Beer Championships, Weyerbacher Winter Ale is brewed with deep-roasted chocolate malt. The taste predominates with a warm, roasty flavor, balanced out with a slightly dry finish. It\u2019s smooth but not cloying, with a warming belt of alcohol (5.6% ABV).<\/p>\n

Although winter ales predate history, they are believed to have their origin in the pagan celebrations of winter solstice. Later, when monasteries produced the local brew, winter ales were made each year to commemorate the birth of Christ. Back then, winter ales were brewed full-bodied as a source of nutrition for the upcoming winter months. Today, winter ales are typified by their seasonality, their rich, malty flavors and by their deep, dark coloration.<\/p>\n

Generally available November through February, Weyerbacher Winter Ale is the perfect libation for a winter meal, with good friends, or beside a warm fire fending off a cold winter night.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why I selected the Weyerbacher Winter Ale:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a big Fan of the Weyerbacher Brewery in Pennsylvania. We get most of their beers here in Virginia. This is a good example of a Winter Warmer, with a full malty flavor and enough alcohol so it has the desired effect of warming one\u2019s belly! Due to the size of my belly I have lots of expertise in that area.
