Episode 62 - Winter Warmer Wonderland

Put your parka on for Episode 62 with a winter warmer warning...we talk a lot about winter seasonal beers starting off with the BJCP style guidelines, followed by our tasting notes segment with Full Sail Brewing Wassail and reviewing an article from craftbeer.com with a number of beers to cozy up to this winter.  Denny talks about his experience at the 5th Annual Payette Black Friday dark beer festival and John discusses his trip to Reubens Brews for their Breakfast Stout release.
