\"harpoon<\/a>We recently fired up our house\u2019s heater for the first time this season, which means we\u2019re well into winter seasonals over here in Sonoma County. Sierra Nevada Celebration hit the shelves a couple weeks before I\u2019m writing this, and that initial 12-pack of hoppy-amber goodness did not last long in our fridge whatsoever. My wife was pumped to see Anchor Christmas Ale hit shelves shortly therafter; that\u2019s her go-to winter pickup, and a pretty consistently tasty spiced beer despite the annual recipe tweaks. For how regularly we\u2019ve been pouring IPAs, pale ales, or hoppy lagers from our household\u2019s kegerator\u2014this time of year marks a welcome shift.<\/p>\n

What have you been picking up as the weather gets cooler? Back when we lived on the east coast and had more immediate access to Belgian offerings, we\u2019d often pick up St. Bernardus Christmas Ale, Corsendonk Christmas Ale, and\u2014likely the one we\u2019d both pick if we could only choose one\u2014Brasserie Dupont\u2019s incredible Avec les Bons Voeux. Do you have local winter seasonals that you look forward to every year? Old-school winter classics you can\u2019t wait to see on shelves? Or are you just hanging tight somewhere tropical, sipping hazy IPA, blissfully unaware of the seasons?
