Drink This: Peticolas’ Spicy, Ghostly, Fantastic Brown Ale

One of cold weather’s great pleasures is a nice spicy drink. There’s nothing like dunking churros into a mug of spiced Mexican chocolate, or spiking hot cocoa with pinches of cinnamon and cayenne. I’ve always loved peppery-hot alcoholic drinks, too, like jalapeño-infused tequila or cocktails made with a spoonful of…
