For their second episode, the hosts turn to a category of craft beer currently dominating the shelves: holiday beers. These brews--also known as Winter Warmers--are known for their potent spice character and higher than average ABV. The hosts sample the spice-forward Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Southern Tier 2XMAS, the sweeter Anderson Valley Winter Solstice, and the Belgian St Bernardus Christmas Ale. Between their tastings, the hosts have a discussion on glassware, during which they all wax sentimental about the awesome Spiegelau glass, and agree that mini goblets are both great for beer and downright adorable. Other happenings include Alex seriously considering brewing beer in a pumpkin, Dan mentions thermal illusions, and Chris messes up the name of the Your Brain on Hops Instagram account (@BrainOnHops).
