Trider's says "For a nation no stranger to the cold, we know the importance of making the winter warmer. Full bodied and ringing in at a hearty 8.5%, Hibrrrnation is an extra strong belly warmer perfect for sitting by the fire and kicking off a long winter’s nap. We loaded this deep chestnut brown ale with demerara sugar and unfiltered local honey for an extra sweet and rich warmth. The sweetness of this great big brew stays grounded by the earthy tones of willamette hops." The Chestnut Brown Ale will disappear with the snow, so get it while you can. Available now at the brewery.
