Well, it’s that time of year again…and that means I’ll be brewing up a whole array of seasonal beers over the next two months. This year, I’m leaning toward real winter warmers, darker ales with lots of flavor to keep you toasty on a cold winter night. Fans of our Porter will be happy to hear the original Big Vic’s Short Order Porter is now on tap. It should be around until Iceboat Ale replaces it in February.

If you’re looking for a tasty new seasonal, we have a Honey Brown Ale  — made with 50 lbs of local honey — coming up at the end of November. Mid-December, look for the return of Red Ribbon Ale, made with Star Anise. A Gingerbread Ale made with molasses, ginger and cinnamon will follow around the New Year. Hope you have some time during this busy season to join us for a pint (or two). Cin Cin!
