With the changing of the seasons comes a return to form for craft beer lovers, as lagers are (momentarily) shelved in favor of richer, heartier beers made to ward off and liven up cold fall and winter nights. And the right beer can work wonders in shaking up your palette and easing into a new season — for the craft beer enthusiast, this pursuit is all part of the thrill of the chase.
It only makes sense that Colorado-based New Belgium, an icon in the craft beer scene since the early ‘90s, knows a thing or two about beer that thrives as fall and winter rolls in. We’re talking, of course, about New Belgium’s Nitro Cold Brew Cream Ale, a unique and innovative palette pleaser that blends two things we love (great beer and great cold brew) in one mighty fine beer.
Made in partnership with the excellent High Brew Coffee, this rich and roasty beer is also smooth and creamy — it starts with a cream ale that’s infused with oats, and then High Brew cold brew is infused to take things a step further, giving it just enough distinctive coffee flavor. Take it from us: It’s one heck of a great beer. In fact, it’s so enjoyable to drink on a cold fall night, we’d wager you’ll want to track it down as soon as possible.
