Going into the longest night of the year tonight, it can be easy to feel cooped up by the short days and blowing snow, which makes today’s Advent beer pick especially appropriate: New Holland Cabin Fever, a 6% abv brown ale.

Based in Michigan, New Holland knows a thing or two about those long winters; of this beer they write, “Cabin Fever is a roasty brown ale and a hearty, comforting companion for long, mind-bending winters.” And if you want something a bit more, New Holland also distills their own spirits—so why not pair Cabin Fever with one of their beer-barrel-aged or beer distilled whiskies?

Seems like the perfect combination for a winter’s night, and a nice nip to enjoy on Christmas Eve.
