They’re made to match those chilly nights and holiday vibes. And if there’s one thing we love about winter, it’s the excuse to cozy up with friends, grab a beer, and sip something that feels like pure comfort in a glass. So, let’s find your next seasonal draft beer at M.L.Rose. 

Winter’s Coziest Local Flavors

When the weather cools down, Nashville’s breweries turn up the creativity. Winter beers are all about those flavors that warm you up from the inside: cinnamon, nutmeg, smoky malts, you name it.

Here are a few to kick off your winter beer journey:

• Gotta Get Up to Get Down Coffee Milk Stout: Think coffee and blueberry pie had a beer baby. This silky stout from Wiseacre Brewing Co. is perfect for sipping while you watch the world slow down. (5.0% ABV)
• Einstök Toasted Porter: Chocolate, toffee and licorice? Yes, please. This Icelandic beauty is roasty and rich, with just enough balance to keep things smooth. (6.0% ABV)
• Warsteiner Dunkel: A dark amber lager like roasted malt in a glass, with subtle hints of chocolate and coffee. It’s basically dessert. (4.8% ABV)

Seasonal Brews You’ll Only Find Now

Some beers are made to be savored now, and these winter exclusives are exactly that. Here’s what you need to try before they disappear:

• Gulden Draak Classic: For this one, caramel and roasted malt had a party, and coffee was invited. At 10.5% ABV, it’s a slow-sipping kind of brew.
• Nashville Bock Beer: Locally brewed with malty vibes that are perfect for crisp winter nights. It’s hearty, warm, and exactly what you want when it’s cold out. (6.2% ABV)
• Black Abbey the Rose: A Belgian Blonde that’s light, silky, and just a little spicy with clove and banana flavors. It’s the true taste of Nashville. (5.4% ABV)
