Lucky beer #13 was a delight, from one of the oldest and consistently great craft breweries, Maine's Allagash. Known for their excellent wit beer -- the aptly named Allagash White, which is a beer I can drink any time of year -- they have some great other beers. I had never seen Snow Report before last week, and I actually picked up a four pack at Trader Joe's, trusting that Allagash can do no wrong. I hadn't yet had one before tonight. They call it a winter ale, which I guess is true, but it's definitely a Belgian style golden ale. It has some honey, but it's not too sweet. All in all, a very solid beer.
Name: Snow Report
Brewery: Allagash Brewing Company

Good for drinking if: You're kicking off your fun old fashioned family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.
