How to easily turn Beau’s Lamb’s Wool into a comforting warm beverage

Make them at home! Ideal for après-ski, après-skate, après-snowmobile – or après-whatever

During winter’s coldest months you may feel the desire to just cuddle up at home surrounded by your pets, with a novel in one hand and a warm beverage in the other.

But let’s be honest – you’re a beer drinker through and through. All the “hygge” in the world won’t sway you from your beloved stout to a mug of hot chocolate.

Never fear. Your friends at Beau’s have put together two very comforting warm mulled ale recipes using our latest gruit, Lamb’s Wool, a traditional wassail.

Check out the recipes below, get your hands on the simple ingredients listed, and have ’em ready for when you get back from your outdoor activity of choice: a skate on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa perhaps? Or at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto? Maybe skiing on Mont-Royal?

Or just stay in altogether this coming weekend!
