I'm "Praying for Snow" on #beersaturday, before the end of 2017. Is it working? Come into my post and find out!

Pray for Snow Winter Ale is make by 10 Barrel Brewing out of Bend, Oregon. That's right over the Cascade Mountains from where I live, up in Oregon's high desert country.

Once I post this, I'm stocking the bar at my BLACKLUX Holiday Fundraiser Party with this nice winter ale. If you want to try this beer, head on over to the party - we're on Day 11 of 14 right now! I'm matching transfers to @blacklux, 1 for 1, up to 50 SBD total! Just let me know when you transfer a gift to @blacklux and I'll match it!

For now, let's take a closer look at this seasonal brew.

The "Pray for Snow" is a dark winter ale. How dark is it? That's a 5-element LED flashlight shining through the brew!

That hashtag, #packitinpackitout, is a popular one on Instagram! If you can carry your beer into the woods, you can carry out the empty bottles, for sure!

Buying this beer helps fight global warming! The Protect Our Winters campaign is organized by folks who like outdoor sports, to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Oregon breweries are active in POW because mountain snow is the largest source of their water supply. And water makes the beer!

Pray for Snow is not a spiced up beer, or not so thick you could eat it, lol. It's smooth and goes down easy -- probably too easy for a 7% ABV! So did drinking it bring the snow??????

No. No snow. Yet. Maybe I should keep trying!


  • Have you ever had Pray for Snow Winter Ale?
  • Have you had beer from 10 Barrel Brewing?
  • Do you have snow now?
  • Will you come on by my BLACKLUX Party? It's a fund-raiser for @blacklux to help recover from hurricanes Irma and Maria in Puerto Rico. Folks there have a long road ahead of them. It's great that we can help through Steemit.

And thanks for #beersaturday, @detlev!

Damn I’ve never had this before but I wish I could give it a try from NYC

haha -- I think you already have the snow! Maybe somebody has already been drinking it! ; )

I have plenty of snow you can have for free :) The dark ale looks delicious.

I'll take some! Or I will have to go up into the mountains - and take a cooler to bring back some snowballs. Maybe one your local breweries will have some "Pray for Snow Melt" Spring Ale, lol. ; )

merry christmas :)

@haphazard

You're bringing the fun of the holidays, alright! : )

okay my friend: D

Holy smokes! Both of those stories are impressive! I hope you are enjoying some snow ice cream or snowballs in your drinks! Folks in your area know how to deal with snow, but what a challenge to get a whole season's worth of snow in one storm! I hope you don't need to travel much for awhile!

I am a hermit in the winter sewing, spinning yarn, and knitting, and cooking good food helps too.

You are made for the winter, then! That sounds so cozy and crafty! Enjoy looking out at all that snow! :D

Nece r tried the ale but somebody must have in my area because we have snow on the ground since Christmas Eve! ❄🍻❄

Haha - That must have been nice to wake up to a white Christmas! I like your little icons with your comment! Very nice!

It was a truly beautiful sight that made me feel like a little kid peeking out the window in anticipation and then feeling delight! Glad you like my emojis - best part of having a smartphone. No, actually having a camera 24/7 is the best part!📸👈😀👍

Smartphones are pretty nice, alright! Enjoy taking pictures of all your snow! :D

I actually don't drink beer, but if it can bring snow to Thailand, I would love to try.... ;)

haha -- it's still not working in my town. So I can't recommend it for Thailand! ; )

Perhaps, this can be true one day! Ha ha! ;D
