The pints&pairings beer suggestioneers take another tasting journey through holiday spiced beers with 6 Geese A Laying from The Bruery.
These full-bodied beers will often have pronounced caramel or molasses-like aromas and flavors as well as a warming alcohol presence. These beers also have a wide range of alcohol presence so be sure to check out the ABV before you pour yourself big ole pint. These beers are usually brewed with special spices such as clove or cinnamon. These spices can make them a perfect for pairing with holiday deserts such as pumpkin pie. If you don’t see a description on the packaging look at the brewery website or BeerAdvocate.com for ingredients or taste descriptions.
