New Products

Narragansett Clam Shack Variety 12-Pack. We know that the many varieties of craft beer are really tempting, and this 12-pack lets you have three different beers to enjoy. What's inside?

Narragansett Lager. This beer is brewed just right for drinking—crisp and refreshing. It’s got more flavor than other premium lagers, yet it’s one of the most drinkable beers in the world.

Narragansett Del's Shandy. The 'Gansett Del's Shandy has just the right balance of malty sweetness and citrus tartness. The Shandy is the ultimate summertime refresher...one sip leads to another. It's the perfect thirst-quenching balance of our gold medal Lager with Del’s lemon concentrate.

Narragansett Summertime Citra Ale. Summertime pours golden, producing a generous white head, and perfect carbonation. The malt flavor is smooth and subtle, balanced out by a crisp hop bitterness. Aromas of mixed fruits are very evident, but mild on the palate. The superior drinkability and lower
alcohol content make this beer perfect for summer sessions.

Woodford Reserve 2016 Kentucky Derby® Bottle. Celebrate Kentucky Derby® 142 in style with the 2016 limited edition bottling of Woodford Reserve bourbon, featuring artwork designed by artist Thomas Allen Pauly. This 1 liter bottle is available in very limited quantities, at $44.99.

The nose is heavy with rich dried fruit, hints of mint and oranges covered with a dusting of cocoa. Faint vanilla and tobacco spice. On the palate, it's rich, chewy, rounded and smooth, with complex citrus, cinnamon and cocoa. Toffee, caramel, chocolate and spice notes abound. The finish is silky smooth, almost creamy at first with a long, warm satisfying tail.

Mas Belles Eaux "Les Coteaux" Coteaux du Languedoc 2009. "Effusively fruity and creamy, with well-defined flavors of red currant, wild plum and boysenberry that are matched with seductive notes of sandalwood. Blood orange and dark chocolate give this an added layer of intensity, with a refined finish. Drink now through 2018." - Wine Spectator, 91 points. Only $14.99 in the Bottle Club®.

As usual, we can only show you a few of the new products that have been delivered to our stores. In particular, we've gotten a number of summer seasonal craft beers, as well as a few new rose wines. Please check with our store team members for new items that you don't see listed here.

Ripped from the Headlines
