In this episode, I sit in front of the fabulous Christmas that my son picked to enjoy two fine winter offerings. The first is from a brewery that represents one of the two exciting things about Cleveland, Ohio (the other is leaving). Great Lakes Brewing Company Christmas Ale is a gem of an ale. The second comes from western New York’s Southern Tier Brewing Company and is delicious in its own right.

Great Lakes Christmas Ale is an A-
Southern Tier Old Man Winter is a B

My brother saved a couple of Great Lakes Brewing Company’s finest! They were a little flat, took on some iced tea flavors, but still reviewable and worthy of a 90 rating. Featured track is a kick ass band called the Magnetic Fields, appropriately named “Too Drunk to Dream”.
