Beer Blizzard

It's been a good week for deliveries of craft beer. It's shut-down week for many of our wine and spirits distributors, so the craft beer people must have upped their game. The beers shown here are available as of this writing, but you know that craft beer doesn't last long. Since the current predictions for the storm suggest it arriving Friday night, there's a limited amount of time to shop. Please note that if our store hours change due to the weather we will post the information on our Twitter feeds. Click on your preferred store below, and follow us. We follow back.

Flying Dog Brewhouse Rarities Tropical Stout. Rich, roasted malt meets juicy pineapple and toasted coconut, making this beer the perfect replacement for anything that comes with a tiny umbrella. 6.0% ABV, 30 IBU's.


Founders Azacca IPA. Named for the Haitian god of agriculture, the Azacca hop boasts intense, tropical fruit notes. Azacca IPA includes a touch of caramel malt to provide a sweet backbone to the citrus, mango and orchard fruit notes in this
7% ABV, 70 IBUs beer. The label artwork symbolizes the god of agriculture watching over a field where the ingredients used to make the beer are being grown.


Sierra Nevada Otra Vez. On our search for the perfect warm weather beer, we wanted something light bodied and thirst quenching, yet filled with complex and interesting flavors. We stumbled across the fruit of the prickly pear cactus, native to California. This tangy fruit is a great complement to the tart and refreshing traditional gose style beer. Otra Vez combines prickly pear cactus with a hint of grapefruit for a refreshing beer that will have you calling for round after round. Otra Vez!

4.5% ABV, 5 IBU's. Pair with Thai or Vietnamese noodle dishes. Grilled Mahi. Pickled watermelon salad, fresh tangy goat’s cheese or even grapefruit and mint sorbet.

Abita Bayou Bootlegger Hard Root Beer. Bayou Bootlegger is a decidedly adult take on the old-fashioned soda fountain root beers of days gone by. Gluten-free and sweetened with pure Louisiana cane sugar, this handcrafted beer delivers aromas of wintergreen, vanilla and sassafras, with hints of clove and anise. Enjoy its smooth, complex and satisfyingly sweet flavor as your go-to thirst quencher or paired with your favorite meal.

Its namesake is inspired by New Orleans’ original bayou bootlegger, Jean Lafitte, the early-19th century French pirate and smuggler who took up arms in defense of New Orleans during the War of 1812. As the packaging says, these sodas "are brewed with the swagger and rebellious spirit of our most famous pirate." 5.9% ABV. Available only at our Woodbridge location.
