(Missoula, MT) – Big Sky Brewing brings back a couple winter favorites.

This year’s edition of Big Sky Powder Hound Winter Ale has changed with new hop additions and a higher ABV % (now 7.2).

Beer description: “Rich malt taste and an avalanche of hops will make you want to say these three words, ‘I’ll have another Powder Hound!’ Since Powder Hound is our own creation, it does not fit neatly into a style. Some folks would call it an ‘Old Ale’ and others might call it a ‘Winter Warmer.’ Regardless of what you call it, Powder Hound satisfies, with the fine, hand-selected British hops fully complementing the smooth malt notes. After a day on the snow, enjoy a Powder Hound Winter Ale. Powder Hound has 5.8% alcohol by weight, and 7.2% alcohol by volume.” Powder Hound will be available through January.

Meanwhile, Big Sky Olde Bluehair Barleywine, a limited seasonal, is back in bottles. See the beer profile information below.
