50 days 'til Christmas, 50 holiday beers to drink
« Old Fezziwig Ale | Main | Petrus Winterbeer »

To paraphrase (take some liberties with and slightly water down) one of my favorite Weezer lyrics, gosh darn those Pyramid beers. They do it to me every time.

Pyramid Snow Cap, the Washington State brewery's hearty winter ale, is a delicious beer, much like its siblings Apricot Weizen and India Pale Ale.

The dark reddish-brown beer has a chocolaty cheery nose, a hoppy taste and a slightly bitter aftertaste, not unlike espresso. At 7 percent alcohol, the beer doesn't hide its booze. You can taste it. And, after a sip or two, you can feel its warming effects from the inside out.

In the 50 days leading up to Christmas, Metromix producer Matt McGuire will drink 50 different holiday beers. Why? In short, because he likes winter brews. He's also hoping people will discover a new beer or two. Follow his adventures here, and tune in each day for a new post.
