It’s December and what a festive time to be a beer drinker as winter beers are on the shelves. But what is a winter ale and how do breweries celebrate yuletide cheer? There are two breweries that have been doing winter beers well for years: Highland Brewing in Asheville, NC and Deschutes in Bend Oregon. We'll talk with CEO Leah Wong Ashburn about what goes into making Cold Mountain Winter Ale and talk about their now famous weeknd long festival. We'll also chat with Ben Kehs, the Innovation Brewing Manager at Deschutes about brewing Jubelale Festive Winter Warmer and some fun legends and superstitions around the beer as well. Happy Holidays from the All About Beer podcast!
