Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale 2006

Anderson Valley Brewing Company is one of my favorite Californian breweries, so when I noticed that last year's Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale was selling for $3.99 a six-pack at one of my local stores I could not just ignore it. I figured that they were probably still good, and that the reduced price was more a reflection of that huge glaring 2006 on the label which means they might not be such hot sellers when this year's edition hits the shelves. The store obviously had too large a stock of them and the crates (each holding 4 six-packs) were piled up at least 2 different places in the store. I decided to take one of the crates - it's a very good price for a beer I like.
