Alaskan Winter Ale


Don't let the picture of the winged rat fool you...

Alaskan Winter Ale is a seasonal beer made by Alaskan Brewing Company and it is a shame that the season doesn't last longer.  Most of Alaskan Brewing Co.'s beers are over-hyped, much like the Quitter Queen (AKA Sarah Palin), but not this beer.  The English-style ale is made with spruce tips and noble hops.  it has a sweet start, smooth body and crisp finish.

"Some winter ale and a big woman is all you need to make it through the winter!"  - Alaskan Old Timer
However, we suggest that some good socks and a bag of Cheetos wouldn't hurt either.  Alaska Winter Ale pairs well with a herb roasted game hen (along with an apple chutney) or a Hungry Man Turkey Dinner.
