Winter Warmer (Brew Pub Only Seasonal)

SanTan’s annual Winter Warmer ale is based on a traditional English Old Ale recipe and then spiced with 10 lbs of fresh ginger from our local market. Generous amounts of caramel and roasted malts are added to give Winter Warmer a deep ruby brown hue. The malt is backed by 10 gallons of Arizona orange blossom honey that lends a slightly sweet taste to the big malt flavor with a sting of ginger. Winter Warmer weighs in at 9.5% ABV and will keep Jack Frost from nipping at your nose!

[...] So how did we “endure” the freezing temperatures. We celebrated AZ Beer Week at our favorite local brewery, SanTan. It’s in downtown Chandler, and I highly recommend their Winter Warmer. [...]
