Days of the Beer, January 9

The beer for today is Left Hand Snow Bound Winter Ale.

On January 9, 1968, it snowed in Mexico City. It also snowed on January 10, and 11. This is the only recorded snowfall there.

The average annual temperature of Mexico City if from 53 to 60 degrees. The lowest temperatures are usually registered in January and February, and it normally doesn't get colder than 23 degrees.

As to the beer:

Fight cabin fever! Made with Rocky Mountain water, malted barley, hops, yeast, honey, orange zest, and other spices.

Originally, this beer was XXXmas Ale, but was changed to Snow Bound.

Here' Chipper Dave's review of the beer.

So, for those people in Mexico City, who haven't had snow for 41 years, have a Left Hand Snow Bound; while you are drinking it, try to imagine how horrible they will be driving the next time it snows.
