The New Brew Preview

Here's a look at what we're expecting to be delivered this week. These are all available in limited quantities, so please call the store to confirm your beer of choice is still in stock.

We will not post information here about any of the Pumpkin beers, but we can say that they are in the pipeline.

The Bruery

We have several due in from The Bruery, starting with Mischief.

Mischief is a hoppy Belgian-style golden strong ale. This wickedly good golden ale is fiendishly dry-hopped with American hops to add a layer of complexity and mystery to its fruity, dry Belgian-style character. Citrus and resin diabolically combine with ripe melon, pear and slight peppery spice in a precariously effervescent mixture. Enjoy it, but you’ll want to keep an eye out.

Pair with crispy skinned loup de mer, lemongrass, or pulled BBQ chicken and pork.

Also due in this week: Hottenroth and Smoking Wood.

Flying Dog Dead Rise Old Bay Summer Ale

Dead Rise was brewed to highlight the indelible, bold character of OLD BAY with citrus hop notes and a crisp, tart finish. Pair it with tables piled high with shrimp, corn, and Maryland Blue Crab.

Dead Rise was brewed to celebrate OLD BAY's 75th anniversary and proceeds benefit True Blue, a program that advocates on behalf if the Chesapeake Bay's 5,500 watermen.

5.6% ABV, 25 IBU's. The malts, hops and yeast are all proprietary.

Great Divide Brewing

We also have two due in this week from Great Divide. First up is Showdown Rye IPA.

Showdown is an IPA reimagined. With a heaping addition of hardy rye, this copper-hued beauty delivers an unmistakable spicy rye character, while a burly dose of American hops evokes the piney aroma of untamed wilderness. Balanced, bold, and brave, Showdown claims the prize. 8.3% ABV.

Pair with chipotle pork enchiladas, refried beans, fire-roasted corn salad, smoked gouda, s'mores.

Also look for Great Divide Heyday Belgian-style White Ale.

Lost Abbey Witch's Wit

AROMA: There are tons of esters present in the beer as well as a soft yeast note. This beer has also been spiced with Grapefruit Zest, Orange Peel and Coriander. Each of these is subtly stated so as to not overwhelm the nose of the beer.

TASTE: Most definitely, this first and foremost a wheat ale. You can taste the wheat from start to finish. A faint toasted note from the addition of flaked oats is present in the beer as well. This is a light bodied beer that finishes with a spicy layer in the end. The overall impression should be an easy-to-drink refreshing ale, in the style of a Belgian Witbier.

Pair with white fish, salads, cheese.

Lagunitas Day Time

We wrap up this preview with maybe the most limited of all, Day Time.

Sometimes you want a beer, then you realize how much crap you need to do before you call it a day. This is it. Nicely dosed with Big, Round Hop Flavors and a Toasty Malt Foundation to satisfy your every need. But it still lets you stay in the game to do what needs to be done. Yup.

4.65% ABV and dosed with the latest cutting-edge experimental yet-to-be-named hop varities for juicy aroma and resin-y hop flavors.

Again, your best approach is to call the store to check for available stock on these beers.
