Your Fave Winter Ales
I suspect the votes will continue to come trickling in, but the results of the poll are pretty obvious. Your favorite winter ale is ... all of them. Actually, we have to give a special shout-out to Jubel, which got almost 30% of the vote. Compared to other single beers, that's a fine showing. Still, as a plurality, it's pretty small. Evidence of how widely spread out your preferences were? "Other" tied Jubel. In the write-in category, Brrr scored well (better than Snow Plow, one of my favorites), garnering 6 votes (7%).

I think that one of the wonders of the winter season is that it seems like almost every brewery is producing something worthy and tasty, even breweries that I don't follow the rest of the year.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like everyone raises their game for the winter beers (or more likely) their corporate bosses allow the brewers to brew closer to what they want to brew. But maybe it just is a style that I really, really dig.
