I don't get the appeal with the winter ale. I don't mind 1, but wouldn't grab a 6er to watch a game.

Going to a BBQ today - will grab a few different crafts and report back.

Edit:

Weapons of choice:

Vancouver Island Brewing - Sabotage India Session Ale
Phillips Brewing Co - Ginger Beer (Big fan of Phillips, haven't tried the ginger, figured I'd give it a shot)
Driftwood Brewery Pale Ale

All new to me.

Edit II:

Started with Sabotage. Good, crisp, drinkable beer. Not overly hoppy and a good start.
Moved onto Driftwood. Also a good drinking beer. Little hops again but nothing overpowering. Will buy again.
Had the Phillips ginger beer last. Aftertaste was definitely gingery. Glad I tried it, but like winter ale, could do 1 but definitely wouldn't choose it for a steady drinking day. Overall a good beer though.

Sabotage wins.
