Winter Seasonals Austin Homebrew
|
|
I am working on my winter seasonals. I just made a test batch of a holiday beer. It has Munich malt, 40L crystal, chocolate malt, a small amount of black patent, cinnamon, sweet and bitter orange peels, and Belgian unsweetened cocoa.
It will be a malty double chocolate beer with hints of cinnamon and orange.
Now I need to make 3 more winter beers.

About 10-15 years ago I used to enjoy Pete's Winter Wicked Ale. They don't seem to make it any more as far as i have seen and I haven't found any good clones for this one. It had some fairly unique spicing to it. If you came up with a viable clone I'd snap one up.

About 6 years ago good old Pete's lawyers sent us a ceace and disist letter. We were banned from making clones of Pete's beers. We just changed the names of the Pete beers we had clones of.
I bet we have a recipe but it is not on the website. I will look into it.

Forrest,
What about some holiday beers based on regional dark ales?
Such as German Holiday Ale, Irish Holiday Ale, American Holiday Ale, etc.
Called the Holiday Series or something like that.

Any idea when the seasonals will be available?
Also, why are the two kits noted in the weekly email so drastically reduced in price? To give me no choice but to buy at least one of them??
