Storm surge is typically thought of as a most unfortunate, destructive confluence of meteorological and nautical events; don't even ask Storm Surgeour friends at Ivar's Mukilteo about it … sore subject.  But hey, we make beer; beer is fun, so we're going to turn the proverbial "tide" on storm surge's crummy reputation. We asked our brewers to put their collective heads together and come up with a brand-new winter ale to which we could apply the moniker; a few test batches and lots of customer input later and viola!, we have Storm Surge Winter Ale!
