Throughout history, brewers have created unique winter/ holiday offerings that may be darker or stronger, spiced or otherwise more aggressively flavored than their staple beers. Known as Winter Warmers, these brews run the gamut from ales to lagers, dark to light, but they are always flavorful and usually slightly higher in alcohol content than their everyday brews. They have no firm stylistic guidelines other than the brewer’s imagination and the traditional variations between their countries of origin; spiced versions are common in America and Belgium, while English and German breweries do not spice their beers.
