Winter and holiday-themed beers can be a great way to warm up on a cold winter evening. With so many out there though it can be tough to know which ones to drink. As we did with pumpkin beers in October, the Beeriety team got together last Sunday to solve this problem. We conducted a blind taste test of 16 popular winter beers  to see what beer would emerge as the group favorite when labels, brands and preconceptions were removed.

The icy conditions of winter are perfect to enjoy a porter, stout or any other big, malty brew. These robust beers make great cold weather companions. Today, we’re going to look at Baltic porters, one of the most intense styles of beer.

Winter will soon be here. Beer can be a great way to shake off the wintertime chills, so here’s a look at a few beers beyond the typical seasonal offerings that will warm your body and wet your tongue.
