Charles Dickens� A Christmas Carol was published on this day 180 years ago, and to commemorate this true Christmas classic I�ve selected one of my all-time favorite winter warmers, also a classic, for today�s Advent beer: Deschutes Brewery Jubelale.
This holiday ale has been brewed since 1988, the year Deschutes opened, and each year the brewery hires a new artist to create the label and this year�s artist is Ben Woodcock of Portland, a freelance illustrator and painter.
Deschutes calls Jubelale a festive winter ale and the description says, �Cozy up fireside with this festive winter ale full of spice notes and a robust malt character of toffee and dusted cocoa.� It�s 6.7% alcohol by volume with 65 IBUs and just hits the spot when it comes to holiday beers.
If you want to find out more about the beer, I wrote a longer piece on the history and background a few years ago. And don�t forget to pick up a six-pack and raise a glass to this year�s edition!
