Snow Day Winter Ale by New Belgium Brewing
New Belgium
Brewing declares a snow day for everyone! This joyful phrase conjures
universal meaning: forget work and enjoy. Snow Day Ale replaces 2ºBelow as
New Belgium’s winter seasonal, bringing warmth and relaxation to cold winter
days.
Snow Day carries the subtle chocolate and caramel flavors of the newly
developed Midnight Wheat malt. Pleasantly hoppy, the Styrian Golding,
Centennial and Cascade hops bring a bright note to complement roasty
undertones. Snow Day is the deep garnet of roasted walnut and presents a
creamy tan head.
Inspired by the Big Eddy Spring, the lifeline of the Leinenkugel’s brewery in
Chippewa Falls, Wis. since 1867, the Big Eddy brand offers beer drinkers
complex, yet balanced flavors beyond the mainstream. The Russian Imperial Stout,
available November to January, is a deep mahogany brew featuring 11 different
malts, espresso and mocha character and finishing with toffee and molasses
notes.
“With its layered hops, Snow Day delivers the depth people crave in a winter
beer but it’s very drinkable,” said Grady Hull, assistant brewmaster at New
Belgium Brewing. “We intentionally created a beer that could carry its weight
without weighing you down.”
Snow Day has 6.25 percent ABV and 55 IBUs. It’s available in most New Belgium
markets and pricing may vary.
