seasonal drinks

WhiteWashMan

OK, so i was thinking i might get some beer for the weekend, and then i decied that what id like to have a few bottle sof this evening, would be different than what i would want to drink on a sunday afternoon.

and it got me thinking that over here on the mainland, and in deed on the real mainland (ie, the continent) that everyone seems to have traditional seasonal beers. fastive beers if yo uwill.

and i dont recall seeing anything liek that in ireland. and no, im not talking about putting a red nosed reindeer on a beer can for winter time

now i do know that youngs do a winter warmer that is quite delicious, but i wouldnt drink it of an afternoon.
far too heavy.

so what do people drink around the seasons?

i know the cider is popular in summer (and im looking at pear cider myself, quite tasty), and guinness in winter was something i used to do.

hmmmm, beer for thought methinks....

Most of the 'seasonal' stuff I drink would be stuff I make myself, based on whatever I can get my hands on. Pear Cyser in Autumn, Blackberry Melomel in early winter, Methyglin come christmas, ginger & rosemary in spring.

Om.
