Winter Beers in NYC

By Jeff Myers


When facing the tough chill of the season, nothing warms you up like a good winter beer. Check out one of many New York Town brew pubs and expose fantastic masterpieces that may have you warmed up in almost no time. These top 5 winter beers will definitely do the job.

Imperial Porter by Southampton Publick House

Southampton is the home of this toasty brown concoction. With hints of cocoa, toffee, and caramel, this full-bodied brew goes down smoothly and is best savored with smoked meat and puddings. The Southampton Imperial Porter, created by Phil Markowski, is as mythical as Chick Ruth and Clark Gable, who were patrons at Southampton Publick House in the 1920s.

Winter Ale by Blue Point Brewing Company

This amber ale is as appealing to the eye as it is to the tongue, with its deep shade of mahogany, nice head, medium body that has a sweet start, followed with hints of spice, with a clean finish, that gives you the choice to either sip or swill. This Manhattan favourite is best enjoyed with smoked meat, chocolate, and coffee-flavored desserts.

Winter Beer by Samuel Adams

This is undoubtedly one of the more popular winter beers. A careful mix of cinnamon, ginger, and citrus supply the warming sensation in this spicy, full-bodied beer. It is best twinned with winter's favorites, duck, apple pie, and gingerbread. The nicest thing about it? You'll be able to find it virtually anywhere!

Old Red Nose by Heartland Brewery

When the holidays come around, there's only one red nose that will be concerning you, Old Red Nose. Brewed in Brooklyn, this beer has all the mysteries of winter. A roasted chestnut flavour carries you through hints of citrus, brown sugar, and plum to a smooth, long lasting finish. Pair it up with a juicy steak and let your tastebuds swoon.

Krampus (Imperial Helles Lager) by Southern Tier Brewing Company

This dark and twisty brew is definitely a sipper. Very thick with a 2 finger head. Begin with a toasted malt-flavor accompanied with caramel, then ready yourself for the forceful takeover of wild hops that hint at grapefruit peel. Visit the website for a haunting story of Krampus, Santa's evil side kick.

Beat the cold and slip into one of the most popular brew pubs in New York City to unfreeze off, or run into the convenience store and pick up a case of heat. Whatever you do, don't let these tasty brews pass you by this winter.
