What to curl up with by the fire this season?  Why, a winter beer, of course. A tradition in the brewing industry has been to make special beers, often richer and more potent, in the runup to Christmas. Nowadays the beers are called "winter" brews, not Christmas, and are becoming increasingly popular.  Brewer's Art, for instance, has released the winter brew "Festivus."

Tom Hall talks with beer afficionado Rob Kasper about the best winter brews.  He's a former reporter, columnist, and editorial writer for the Baltimore Sun, and he's the author of Baltimore Beer: A Satisfying History of Charm City Brewing.
