Ahhh.... now to reward myself after shoveling out from the second snow storm of the week. Hmm... what shall I have?!
The Mrs. is making grilled cheese sammiches & 'mato soup, so I don't want anything that's gonna battle that great taste combination. But I do want something that will reward my taste buds in the adult beverage department too. What to have?! The answer: Redhook Winter Hook.
I'm sure you've heard of Red Hook Brewery before. They've been around since 1981. (See their website www.redhook.com ) They caught my attention with their ESB- but I digress. It was only natural for them to brew a winter seasonal ale.
Winter Hook is a nice blend of hops and malts with a 5.9% ABV. It pours out in a nice copper color and just a little bit of a head. If you like ales- you should really like Winter Hook! I love "the bitters", so this brew really hit the spot after my snow shoveling! In fact- I liked it so much- I drank it all before I remembered to take a picture of it in my glass!
Good thing the Mrs. made me another grilled cheese sammich; I was hungry too!
Cheers!
