We’re Releasing Winter Solstice Ale Early to Get 2020 Over With Already
Hot on the heels of Labor Day, Anderson Valley Brewing Company will be releasing its Winter Solstice Ale early this year in an effort to get 2020 over with already.
“It’s not our idea,” President Kevin McGee explained. “Andy Ingram and the good folks at Four Peaks Brewing in Arizona released their fall seasonal a month early to help move 2020 along and we thought that was brilliant, so we’re trying to do our part.”
Winter Solstice (ABV 6.9%) is our take on the classic style of a “winter warmer.” Brewed with northern brewer and chinook hops and boasting a deep amber hue and rich mouthfeel, its creamy finish will lift your spirits. Hints of toffee, spice, and caramel tease the senses making this the perfect ale to share with friends and family during the cold days and long nights of winter.
The brewery also hopes that the early release of the Winter Solstice will help mitigate the extreme heat in Northern California and accelerate the world’s progress towards winter weather and the end of this dumpster-fire of a year. “Look, I grew up in Buffalo playing hockey and skiing.” McGee added “I can’t handle 110 degree temperatures. I will literally melt and that would be really gross and I know I’m not alone out there.”
When asked how the beer release might bring about the temporal displacement effect McGee said “I’m not sure but I think that might be something to work out over a few Winter Solstices. Besides,” McGee continued, “our Winter Solstice is a really fantastic beer and it’s a great reason to open one early.”
