Beverage of the Week: SweetWater’s Festive Ale lacks the warmth of a good winter beer

Welcome back to FTW’s Beverage of the Week series. Here, we mostly chronicle and review beers, but happily expand that scope to any beverage that pairs well with sports. Yes, even cookie dough whiskey.

I like winter ales and warmers. I really, really like SweetWater. So when SweetWater offered up a sample of their Festive Ale, I was pretty excited.
