Best Reason to Look Forward to Winter  Jolly Roger Christmas Ale
A few years ago, while Maritime Brewery was moving its
operations in Ballard, the famous Jolly Roger Christmas Ale
didn't get released on time. Drinkers got vicious. Maritime
doesn't just put out a seasonal ale, it's created an event. For
thousands of drinkers around Puget Sound, its high-octane warmer
has become as much a part of the holidays as long underwear and
SmartWool socks. It's an accomplishment for any microbrew to
stick out among the thickening herd, and in the ranks of winter
beers, Jolly Roger has no peers. CHRIS KORNELIS 1111 N.W.
