Drinktime: Harpoon Winter Warmer

I am a huge fan of seasonal beers. It brings a whole other dimension to each season. Just as the seasonal and local food movement has started to gain a hold, so has the seasonal beer movement. Many breweries now around the country offer seasonally specific beers that are available just in that specific season. So if you are looking for a summer beer in the winter, well you will be out of luck. When winter rolls around there is one beer that I get excited about drinking. That beer is Harpoon's Winter Warmer. The Winter Warmer is one of my favorite beers from Harpoon. Harpoon already brews some of the best beers in the county for example their flagship IPA and their UFO series. The Winter Warmer is an ale brewed with spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg to remind one of the winter season. When you first smell the Winter Warmer you smell the spices right away. The warmth that you get from drinking this beer does not just coming from the spices it is brewed with it but from the malt as well. Being brewed since 1988, the Winter Warmer is one of the longest running seasonal beers being brewed in the United States. I understand why it has been on the beer market since 1988. It is because it is an amazingly delicious and unique beer. Come each winter, the masses rejoice when the Winter Warmer hits the market. It would not be around this long if people did not like it. This winter I hope you had a few Winter Warmers. If not get out there because they will soon be off the shelves. Cheers!
