For you seasonal beer lovers, here's your notice that pumpkin beers are due in any day now.

Allagash Fluxus

Fluxus is a beer brewed every year to commemorate the anniversary of the first beer sold by Allagash in July 1995. The name Fluxus is Latin for continuous change, something we all seem to find ourselves in. Every year, Fluxus is brewed with a different recipe, giving our brewers a chance to push the limits of beer.

Allagash Fluxus is brewed to help fund a scholarship set up for pediatric nurses at The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital at Maine Medical Center.

Maine Beer Co. Mo

This is Maine Beer's first run at an American Pale Ale.  Flavors and aromas of zesty citrus, passionfruit, and pine present themselves throughout. A very subtle malt sweetness for balance, but this is intended to finish dry. 6.0 ABV.

Stone Unapologetic IPA

A collaboration between Julian Shrago Brewmaster & Co-owner, Beachwood BBQ, Jamil Zainasheff Chief Heretic & Brewmaster, Heretic Brewing Co. and Mitch Steele Brewmaster, Stone Brewing Co.

Tasting Notes, by Brewmaster Mitch Steele

Appearance: Pours golden with a creamy white head.

Aroma: Intensely aromatic with stone fruit, white wine and berries driving most of the hop character. Lots of yeast esters, a touch of alcohol, and a nice malt backbone follow after the hop aromatics.

Taste: Fruity, strong melon, tropical, and hints of citrus with a balanced malt character.

Palate: Dry and very bitter. Just the way we like it!

Overall: When Jamil, Julian and I first started discussing this beer, I don’t think we even considered brewing anything other than a double IPA. So the question became: “How do we make this beer unique and something that reflects all of our approaches to brewing this wonderful beer style?” Julian suggested first wort hopping with Chinook and using a four-way blend of hops in the whirlpool and dry hop. Jamil suggested the malt bill, which includes the use of biscuit malt, something I’ve never used before in an IPA. As a result, the beer has a great blend of fruit flavors and an intense bitterness coming from the hops, which the three of us love.

Glutenberg IPA

The Glutenberg IPA brings hops, flavor and gluten-free brewing to a whole new level. The IPA has everything to become a fan favorite: an aromatic nose full of citrus, lemon and floral notes, a crisp and sharp mouthfeel paired with light caramel and hoppy flavors. A flavorful, very flavorful quencher.

6% ABV, 44 IBU's. Pair this with ceviche or carrot cake.
