This week, our Master of Ceremonies, Paul Pabst, continues the theme of winter beers with the Winter Lager from East Rock Brewing. Renowned for its pizza scene, New Haven, Conn., is no slouch when it comes to the suds. And East Rock brings the winter vibe hard with this lager brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and orange peel.
