Winter's cold grip is not yet upon us, but it is not far off. Among many other wonderful things, winter brings with it a special niche in beer. High alcohol beers may appear raucous and juvenile to the uninitiated, but to those in the know, they represent a exciting taste experience. The alcohol content is a side effect of the yeast and barley reacting, creating fermentable sugars. More yeast, barley, sugars and time equals more alcohol yes, but potentially more flavour as well.
Check back over the next few days for reviews of three high alcohol beers. It may take a while, these aren't exactly the type you sit down and polish off a few with friends.
I almost forgot! A quick shoutout to Lynden Park Mall LCBO in Brantford. They have one of the most consistent selections of craftbrew beers, and are currently stocking some great Christmas items too. Hint Hint.
