Snow Day to replace 2 Below at New Belgium

It may be in the midst of sweltering summer heat but New Belgium Brewing Company of Fort Collins is already preparing for winter with news of a new seasonal creation.

According to Beerpulse.com, New Belgium's Bryan Simpson has confirmed that their new winter seasonal beer this year will be Snow Day Winter Ale, a dark caramelized wheat brew. The new beer will weigh in around 6.2% ABV.

Their last winter seasonal, 2 Below, is being retired as part of an on-going effort to keep season beers on a new short term rotation. New Belgium wants to be able to experiment and come out with new season beers every 2 years.

This isn't the first time New Belgium has retired a seasonal brew. Recently they discontinued Skinny Dip in favor of a new summer seasonal - Somersault Ale.

While some applaud the newness and innovation, others are going to mourn the retirement of some of their favorites.

I certainly hope they don't get rid of Frambozen as that is one of my all-time favorite seasonal brews from New Belgium. Time will tell.

What's your favorite seasonal brew from New Belgium? Are you sorry to see 2 Below retired? Post a comment and let us know.
