Festive Ale Focus: McMullen Stronghart
This Hertfordshire ale is described as “liquid Christmas pudding” on its back label, so I have photographed it with the Waitrose own-brand Christmas pudding that JaneR has purchased for us to consume on December 25th. I’m not entirely sure that Stronghart actually tastes of Christmas pud, but it does have a rich fruity flavour that makes it seem quite Christmassy. I also found that it goes very well with a bit of Stilton, which is the standard festive season cheese on this side of the pond.
Stronghart is 7% ABV and costs £2.12 for a 500ml bottle at Sainsburys. This is an excellent Christmas beer and I strongly urge you to try it.
