Outdoor beer fridge!

It was about time to have a couple of beers, so I decided to put them on ice; so to speak.
It only takes about five minutes outside to get beer to an appropriate drinking temp in the winter!


Up first was Hale's Winter Ale.
A great example of a scotch/ wee heavy, their winter ale was full bodied, creamy, and had diverse malt characteristics with a hint of herbal hops.
Lots of body and flavor for a lower abv Wee Heavy!

Hales Ales: Wee Heavy Winter Ale: 6%abv. Seattle, WA

Another Winter Ale from Seattle, Maritime's Jolly Roger Xmas Ale  was up next!
Full bodied, creamy and smooth, with a bit of an alcoholic bite.
This was definitely a "big" Winter Warmer!
Jolly Roger was robust and complex  with solid malt notes and overtones of herbal and piney hops!

Maritime Pacific: Jolly Roger Christmas Ale: 8%abv. Seattle, WA

Didn't make it to the third beer I had in the outdoor fridge; almost over my cold and hope to enjoy New Years Eve; properly!
