Sixth Beer of Christmas 2019: Great Divide Hibernation Ale
On the Sixth Day of Christmas, my brewer gave to me... Great Divide Hibernation Ale!
Great Divide Hibernation Ale
Folks in Colorado know that there are months of cold weather ahead after the presents are unwrapped. As such, Denver’s Great Divide Brewing released a beer to carry us through the long, cold winter.
Hibernation Ale is an English-style old ale, a hearty beer with rich, layered malt flavors and enough strength to brace us through those dark, cold evenings. This beer has been brewed since 1995 and has won multiple awards. It’s perfect to enjoy as your Christmas Eve nightcap, but be sure to hold onto enough cans to last till spring.
The Beer
This robust, dry-hopped ale has a malty richness balanced with a complex hop profile and hearty, warming character. This beer is best paired with grilled beef tenderloin, Roomano (an aged Dutch cow’s milk cheese), and apple crisp with ginger ice cream.
The ABV is 8.7%.
