Barley John’s is having a beer release party for their newest offering, Winter Ale, on President’s Day, 2-19-2007:

Winter Ale (7.8%abv): A hearty and warming British Ale, this annual seasonal brew is sure to distract you from the cold outside. We harvested our Fresh Cascade Hop flowers from the patio, dried them and then used them to finish this beer. We also tossed in our traditional Winter Spice blend featuring subtle hints of fennel and caraway. A complex yet delicate presentation of flavors – best enjoyed when allowed to warm a bit.
