Why can't Winter Warmer be available all year. Without reservation I have to say that Winter Warmer is THE best beer I have had in 30 years of drinking!!! The best!

Darryl,

I like it as well......... the time it takes to make would make it difficult to fit into the schedule for a year round beer. Sorry :-(

Thanks for your support!

Cheers - Fritz Rahr

Your year round beers measure up. Your IPA is probably the best IPA I've ever had. Your Winter Warmer is the best beer ever known to man.

What are the chances of bottling some of the barrel aged winter warmer? Maybe in some 22 oz bombers and distributing to local beer/liquor stores?

We are thinking about it!!!!!!

Had the Barrel Aged Winter Warmer in Waco; quite possibly the single best winter brew I, or the numerous friends I had try it, have ever had.

Winter Warmer is hands down my favorite beer I have ever had!!! I am so in love and it makes me sad that isn't available year round! I more than likely won't be living in Texas during the holiday season...How can I still get my hands on some Winter Warmer in California?

I would suggest starting on Beer Advocate & become friends with some of us here in DFW.

I wish we could get the Winter Warmer year round, but Rahr needs brewing space.

I agree with the comments about being available all round long. It and the whiskey warmer are my favorite Rahr beers and I know of many others who would like to see this sold year round.

I'd like to report that there are apparently Winter Warmer thieves hijacking your trucks before they get to the stores --- I'm not finding it ANYWHERE!
Alternatively, it may be possible that you just can't make it fast enough --- I'll keep looking.
