    OK the first snow of the year and it's really making me crave some big rich winter warmers. I haven't had a ton of the style and not sure how specific it is but would love some local / attainable in MA winter warmer recommendations. Similar styles like old ale, and barleywines are welcome too. Cheers to a long winter.

    - I'm a fan of Old Stock ale (not sure if this falls into the category or not)
    - Harpoon came out with this beer called Arctic Ale - and this was the perfect beer for the style for me. I believe they do a different type of dark beer every year so haven't seen this one in a while.

    What else ya got???

    There's still a bit of 2019 Sebago BA Barleywine floating around. I absolutely love that beer once winter hits.

    Anchor's Xmas ale should fit the bill. (edited to say it's obviously not from NE, but is available here)

    I liked him in Inception.

    Gotta head to the tap room to buy a four pack this year. I might do that this year, did it last year.

    And if I recall, they were charging like $15+ a 4-pack or some nonsense. I bought it once, would've bought more, but F that.

    Had Fezziwig been in there it was actually a slam dunk(for Sam)

    Not quite in the winter warmer catagory, but I look forward to Cabin Fever by Berkshire Brewing this time of year. Solid malt base and the way they use Tettnang in all aspects adds a great spicy hop bite.
    Stay warm
