How ironic that the shortest month can often feel like the longest. Fortunately, the advent of Winter Ale Festivals and cunningly-marketed Winter Ales have allowed beer heads to quaff during the worst of the weather.

This'll SLEIGH 'em! Support your local Winter Ale Festivals, or travel overseas for the best in snow-bird escapes: you get sunshine AND beer!

And if there's a better combination than that, we don't want to know about it.

As we discover more and more festivals, or receive updated information, we'll amend our February 2008 Beer Festivals calendar.
