What’s the temperature where you’re drinking? Where I’m drinking, it’s ten below. That’s because I’m drinking a bottle of Scuttlebutt 10 Degrees Below Ale, a winter seasonal beer from Everett, Washington’s Scuttlebutt brewery. Scuttlebutt isn’t the only brewer to market a beer by the thermometer, by the way; Colorado’s New Belgium offers up a Two Degrees Below Ale on occasion, too.

10 Degrees Below Ale has a hefty alcohol content of 7.4%, well suited to warming one after a cold winter day. The strength of the beer also helps make this one that will age gracefully. A bottle I enjoyed was tasty fresh in the winter, another seemed just as good with about nine months of age.
