RJ Rockers The First Snow Ale
Beer-a-Day #352 
This hearty American pale ale contains a rich blend of spices that warms the soul on a cold winter’s night. Chill the mug, stoke the fire, and savor this quality seasonal brew. Available only during the Winter season.
The D.C. area is about to be pelted with the biggest snowstorm since 1987. This seems an appropriate choice, then.
Golden yellow with just the slightest chill haze. Creamy head. Cinnamon and nutmeg in the aroma. The spices don’t overwhelm the beer, though. I rather like that.

Beer-a-Day #332 Brewed with a special blend of domestic and Belgian malts for a delicate nut-like character, you’ll love this Lager’s rich taste and signature hop aroma. The exceptional full-bodied taste reflects our Brewery’s extraordinary commitment to brewing beers of the highest standard of quality. Medium-dark brown and clear. Rich aroma with a good bit

Beer-a-Day #290 This robust dark brew has been created in conjunction with Crescent Moon to coffee to come up with a special five bean blend to bring out the depth of the beer. Originally produced to celebrate our 10th anniversary, this has now become our late-winter seasonal. Note the aromas of toffee, licorice and coffee

Beer-a-Day #250 The cap says: “Without hops the world stops” We’re back to sweltering summer weather, but that little chill we had last week is a reminder that autumn is just around the corner. My favorite season. It’s the color of dried apricot. Head is off-white with some staying power. Nice big grassy hop aroma.

Beer-a-Day #246 In anticipation of tomorrow’s Session topic (Summer Beers) I pulled this out of the fridge. It’s been actually chilly in the mornings the last few days, so I figured I’d better drink this before the autumn weather starts in earnest. Samuel Adams® Summer Ale is an American wheat ale. This summer seasonal uses

Beer-a-Day #227 hI.P.A. is a highly hopped India Pale Ale and the Spring SeasonAle. A medium-bodied beer with a fresh and fruitful nose of vernal vitality. It begins and ends with a big hop bite that is itself forever balanced on the brink by a steady rhythm of malt. Dry-hopped for extra quenching in the
RJ Rockers Bald Eagle Brown Ale

Beer-a-Day #226 A traditional English-style brown ale, but with more body. Its deep brown color comes from a combination of Chocolate and Black malts. Tall, dark and smooth – the perfect cure for the domestic beer blahs. A craft beer out of South Carolina? Cool. And the owner is from Jersey. A dark golden brown,

Beer-a-Day #217 Our Summer Seasonal is an unfiltered and naturally cloudy ale. It features a thirst quenching blend of sweet orange peel and the subtle spiciness of coriander, topped off with a delicate twist of lemon. Summer is a time when we soak up the sun, and enjoy the goodness of life and friends. A
Redhook Sunrye Summer Ale

Beer-a-Day #196 One needs a light, refreshing ale to slay a summer thirst. Our golden-colored Sunrye fits the bill. Brewed with six barley malts and a touch of rye, it was practically made for trips to the lake and open-flame cookouts. Bright golden yellow with not much head. Looks light, smells light; a little like
