Beer #21 was from one of my favorite local breweries, Lake Effect. It's titled Snow, a nice little play on words when combined with the brewery name. You see, non-Midwesterners, lake effect snow is a meteorological phenomenon, whereupon winter winds blowing from the west over the relatively warmer Great Lakes cause the lower layers of the colder air to pick up vapor from the lake, creating snow that is dumped on the downwind shores and coasts. This is why western Michigan gets a ton more snow than Chicago. Anyway, Snow is a winter witbier, with some citrus and spices. It's a beer I could enjoy all year 'round.
