At the start of the New Year, breweries begin releasing their mid-winter or spring seasonals. These beers serve as a nice bridge from the heavier beers of winter to the lighter brews of summer. I'll celebrate the season by sampling this collection of seven beers:
- Columbia Common, Widmer Brothers Brewing Co., Portland, OR
- Hop Rye'IT, 10 Barrel Brewing Co., Bend, OR
- Nut Brown Ale, Full Sail Brewing Co., Hood River, OR
- Renewale: Extra Special Bitter, Ninkasi Brewing Co., Eugene, OR
- Rose Hip Gold, Portland Brewing Co., Portland, OR
- Sneak Attack, 21st Amendment Brewery, San Francisco, CA
- Smooth Ryed, BridgePort Brewing Co., Portland, OR
All of these beers are being released broadly for the first time. If you're looking for other spring seasonal beer ideas, you should consider Alaskan's Black IPA, Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye, and Southern Oregon Brewing's Black Heart Imperial Stout,
What's your favorite spring or mid-winter seasonal?

The O'Ryely IPA is so tasty! We're enjoying it much more than the Ruthless Rye by Sierra Nevada.
