84/09 Double Alt, from Widmer Brothers
Season: 25th Anniversary
ABV: 9.4%

A heavy-duty beer - for a heavy-duty anniversary; 25 years of brewing yummy beer in Portland, Oregon. The beer has a heavy malt taste and booze kick. One bottle and you'll be singing, "Happy Birthday!"

I realize this may not be a "seasonal ale" in the traditional sense of the (you know, the four seasons and all that stuff) but I figured that anniversary or celebration-type ales could fit the bill.

Especially considering the fact that our life is about to get crazy as we move forward with a gypsy existence, following Nikki from rotation-to-rotation.

We'll spend the month of July in Idaho, August in New Hampshire, September in San Diego, and from there until the end of the year, we're not sure.... Hawaii may be a destination....

We'll be spending January through March of next year in the Cascades of Washington, up near Snoqualmie Pass and April through August in Portland.
