Merry Festivus, beer lovers! Tonight, I'm drinking some of the very best Belgium has to offer -- Rochefort Brewery's 8 (ABV: 9.2%) and 10 (ABV: 11.3%). These bottles of liquid heaven go down so smoothly, they will have you double-checking the ABV.
'Tis the season for Winter Ales -- and this is definitely a good choice for those wanting to warm up on a cold, snowy night! Weyerbacher Brewing's Winter Ale (ABV: 5.60%) has delicious aromas and tastes of bready malt, herbal hops, dark chocolate, cherries and brown sugar. Plus, unlike other winter ales, this one is nice and fluffy; not too rich.
This isn't the ONLY great Weyerbacher beer, though. Stay tuned for more... The Craft Beer Maiden is starting off her new blog with what is widely considered to be one of the best double IPAs in the world. That's right, folks. I'm talking about The Alchemist's Heady Topper -- ABV: 8.00%. With citrusy aromas and a clean finish, Heady Topper is easily the most drinkable (and well-balanced) IPA I've ever had.
Heady Topper is only attainable in certain areas of Vermont, but it's certainly worth the trip to pick up a case!. |
