On Day 9 of Advent I enjoyed a very smooth and light take on a holiday ale from Meanwhile Brewing Company.
You can always get to my post for the previous and next day of Advent through the links in every post.
5 Stones Artisan Brewery has made this year’s Advent calendar more than a couple of times and I suspect it will make at least one more appearance.
Today I enjoyed their Festbier. This one had a nice light copper color and the taste was very smooth. Overall, this one seemed a little less malty than several of the festbiers/Oktoberfests/Marzens I’ve had this fall. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, that is one of the things I really enjoy about craft beers - I can enjoy the same styles from different brewers and enjoy the subtle differences each brewer brings.
Day 11 of this Advent season looks at a great German Dunkel.
