| I wish seasonals were year round. Specifically, fall and winter beers. I don't get into the whole lighter beer during the summer thing. Just because it is warm out doesn't mean I want a beer that tastes worse than what I drink when it is cold. Having trouble finding Double Bag right now because local package stores have replaced darker brews with lighter seasons on shelf. That's crap.
An amazing thing happened to me two weeks ago. I picked up my old stand by of Harpoon IPA only to drink a bottle and think it was light tasting. Mind blowing stuff. You start drinking 8-10% ABV and even a quality beer like Harpoon IPA tastes light and watery.
I've yet to find a 'summer seasonal' that tastes very good so I stick with my usual's and stock up on my darker seasonals when I can.
