X'mas Beer: Day 16

Beer: Brrr Seasonal Ale

Region: Portland, Oregon, USA
Brewery: Widmer Brothers
Volume: 7.2% (the highest I've had thus far, I mean in this beer tasting)
Taste: Like an IPA, perhaps it's an IPA. A lot of hops with a bitter tone and a hint of sweetness. Now that sums up Christmas for ya!
Note: I like beer labels with a personal touch, it says "To: You, From: Rob & Kent". Now how cute is that? Just makes one so special.

X'mas Beer: Day 13

Beer: Anchor Steam Beer (since 1896)

Region: San Francisco, California, USA
Brewery: Anchor Brewing Co
Volume: n/a (perhaps 4.8%)
Taste: Smooth creamy taste with a hoppy finish.
Note: I had an Anchor Steam from Father's Office once, and the bartender told me it's California's first craft beer. Pretty cool eh? I think I'm quite "hoppy" with this beer (har har). Also, I am drinking from a fancy glass again!
