Craft beer hits the ski slopes
By Noah Davis • Dec 22nd, 2008 • Category: Beer News
Well this is a new one: Wintergreen Resort, a ski slope/hotel in Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, teamed up with Blue Mountain Brewery to produce its very own Doppelbock, Wintergreen Hibernator.
“Now enjoyed around the world as the wintertime beer of choice, Doppelbock lager is characterized by full, rich malt flavors,” the release reads. “Imported Pilsen, Munich and Vienna malts, noble German Hallertau hops and deep-drawn water from the Blue Ridge Mountains create this heady brew at Wintergreen Resort. Characterized by a smooth drinkability, Wintergreen Hibernator is a perfect post-slope beer.”
Emphasis on the “post-slope” part, please.
