The Wall Street Journal is a very serious, hard-hitting newspaper that apparently reviews beers. With Christmas literally around the corner, the time to celebrate with a spirited libation is surely presenting itself more than usual. I am a huge fan of seasonal brews, and as a winter storm is gearing up to hit Boston tomorrow, stocking up on the spicy & strong winter offerings from some of my favorite breweries does not seem like a bad idea.
The Wall Street Journal has presented its own preview of the cases they will be picking up for the staff holiday celebration. The two Boston breweries, and two of my favorite topics, Sam Adams and Harpoon, both made the list of four. Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, another one of my (not-so-great) reviews was also featured. The fourth and final mention went to a brewery I’m not sure I can pronounce: Affligem Noel. With a 9% alcohol content, this one will keep everyone warm and toasty.
I’m working on a couple reviews of seasonal brews I’ve recently tried and will be back soon with my assessments. Until then, check out the WSJ’s take on some of my favorites! Cheers!
