4 Beers to Try This Month
Winter beers are meant to be different from summer beers. Don’t settle for your average beverage of choice- here are some unique, tasty options to treat yourself this season.
Sure, Guinness is great, especially when perched at an old, dark-wood bar top in an unpretentious tavern. Moreover, with the countless array of unique hoppy fermented grain beverages circulating these days, straying from the classics can be a bit daunting. But, as they say, ‘tis the season!
South magazine asked local distributor and beverage-sourcing expert, Southern Eagle, what the top selections are for the winter season, as they never steer us wrong. With a wide array of local options as well as all the top national names, nothing is off-limits for Southern Eagle. Trust us, they know their stuff. Without further ado, treat yourself and treat your friends and loved ones (21+) to one of these seasonal selections. Cheers!
