As the weather changes and things get a little chillier, it is time to try a bunch of beers. But I seem to return to an old favorite “Flannel Friday”. This is a great seasonal beer by Harpoon Brewery. When the weather chills and when you first break out your flannels it is time for this flavorful beer. It is a little bit more hoppy than most amber ales. Not too much hops, just enough to be a little different. We paired it with a baked haddock and wild rice dinner. It worked great not too hoppy to drowned that the suttle flavors of the fish and rice meal.

It took me a little longer to find it this year because of a label change from the old orange, yellow, and red to the new blue and green. I’m just glad it is still the same great beer inside.
