We enjoy some very good, local microbrews here in the Pacific Northwest. Oregon is home to some excellent ones, and it seems most of them have their own brand of a holiday brew this time of the year. My personal favorite right now is the Full Sail Wassail from Full Sail Brewing, just down the road in Hood River. A few others that are recommended:
- Jubelale from Deschutes Brewery
- Snow Plow from Widmer Brothers
- Santa’s Private Reserve from Rogue Brewing
And remember fellow Watchers of the Waist, most of these beers are about 3 Weight Watchers points, so don’t feel bad about pouring one into a tall, frosty glass as you wait for the Big Guy on Christmas Eve. Moderation is a good thing ANY time of the year.
Merry Christmas to you all–hope yours is the best yet.
