Silver City Winter Bock
A winter lager (rather than an ale) is a rarity indeed and brings a certain crispness to the season’s malty flavors. It’s a great intro to winter beer for people who like lighter styles. silvercitybrewery.com
Reuben’s Brews Roasted Rye PA
Even as a home brew, this beer was winning local awards usually reserved for the pros. The smoky, malty commingling of a winter warmer and an IPA, it set this Ballard brewery on the path to being one of the best in the city. reubensbrews.com
Elysian Bifrost Winter Ale
If dark, malty, boozy beers speak to firesides and wassailing, this hop-forward, slightly citrusy pale ale is like a sled ride in the sunshine. elysianbrewing.com
Sound Brewery Entendez Noel Belgian Quadrupel
It tastes like candy. No, like a mulled cider. Now I’m getting some banana. Sweet mother, that’s strong. The Belgian-loving brewery’s potent holiday ale defies explanation in the best possible way. soundbrewery.com
