Our Holiday Beer Ratings!

Last Friday, we had a holiday beer tasting here at our office, featuring a wide variety of craft beers (and one cider) for everyone to taste and rank. Each season, we choose a handful of beers and ciders that are popular based on the time of year. With winter and the holidays upon us, we tried beers that truly celebrated the season. Around this time of year, many of the beers are dark and malty stouts and barleywines, so we were sure to include some hop-forward beers like the Stone Enjoy By series. Head out to your local craft beer retailer and let us know what your favorites are! Check out GAP Promo’s results here:
