Winter Beer

From time to time when i visit close friends, I like to bring a 

new beer. This time I brought Indigo Imp Winter Solstice.  

The occasion, doesn't matter. There doesn't have to be a 

reason. Most of the time i try them out. This time I didn't; 

I just knew that it would be a good beer. I've had their beer 

before and I'm all about local beer. The first beer I had 

of theirs was the Blonde Bombshell. I like their signature 

of wax on one of their bottles in a 6 pack. Its nice to see 

something different, something that grabs your attention. 

First its the look, then when you get home, it's the beer.  

I know this time of the season, everyone like to bring 

Great Lakes Christmas Ale, but I wanted something 

different. Sometimes, GLB tastes the same. Same 

base flavor with a twist of something different.

Since I'm on the topic of Winter Beer, I just so happen to be 

enjoying a new one. 12 Dogs of Christmas, by Thirsty Dog, 

Akron Ohio. I was fortunate enough to hear about this beer 

from my friend Derek. We went out Thursday night and 

Friday night. He asked for it at both places we went and 

they didn't have it.He claims that it is the original recipe of 

Great Lakes Christmas Ale from 3 years ago. That is when 

I first had it, and haven't had it as much since, only because 

of the effects after drinking it.

Well after writing this post, I think that Thirsty Dog, has 

matched that batch of GLB from 3 years ago. I have a pretty good buzz.:)
