6 in the Corner

When we talk about a "6'" you know it's not billiards. In the Craft Beer Corner, any "6" worth talking about relates to, well, craft beer. Here's a look at some of our freshest arrivals.

Stillwater Artisinal Yacht. Canned beer has made a serious return in the craft brewing world. Prior to this resurgence, the only beer found in cans were industrial lagers. So as a nod in both directions we present an elegantly crisp and hoppy new world lager. The light and refreshing pilsner malt body delivers an abundance of floral, spice, and grass driven hop flavors and aroma. Perfect for those luxurious cruises through the Caribbean. This is a dry-hopped session lager that comes in at 4.2% ABV.

Label Design Notes: The luxurious and refined mood of yachting is alluded to by the muted tones of traditional nautical colors. The stripe pattern elongates the perception of the can's size, so that it appears longer, thinner and grander. The Recorda typeface is modern and geometric, recalling the shape of a sailboat.

Stone Enjoy By 5.30.16. After brewing this intense double IPA with more than 10 different hops and consistently delivering it faster than any bottled IPA on the planet, we decided to do something different with this Stone Enjoy By IPA—we took it to another level, again. Puréed tangerines were added to the batch to create a devastatingly fresh IPA with a tang of tangerine. The flavors yielded by this addition to the recipe meld beautifully with the bitterness of the hops. True to this series, Stone Enjoy By Tangerine IPA is brewed specifically NOT to last, and should be enjoyed within 37 13 days. 9.4% ABV, 90 IBU.

According to Brewmaster Mitch Steele, this is "hoppy and very fruity, with a tangerine kick on the finish - it's found in both the flavor and the aroma. On the palate, it's dry, with hints of alcohol warmth and a nice bitterness on the back end."

Craft Brew Ambassador "Dr." Bill Sysak offers these pairing suggestions:
Appetizers: Coconut shrimp, ceviche, guacamole, garlic edamame, mango salsa.
Entreés: Sashimi, roasted chicken, lime curry tofu stir-fry, grilled onion cakes, salmon, spicy eggplant.

Desserts: Carrot cake, pineapple upside-down cake, peach cobbler, macaroons.

Bruery Terreux Tart of Darkness. Tart of Darkness is a traditional stout that we aged in used oak barrels from The Bruery that had previously housed beers such as Cuivre™ or Black Tuesday®. We then brought them over to Bruery Terreux, added our special blend of souring bacterias and wild yeasts and watched nature take its course. The result is a perfectly tart yet awesomely dark and roasty, sour stout. Not a style you will see very often, and in our opinion, not a style seen often enough. This unique stout has notes of tart plums, roasted coffee, vanilla and oak. 7.2% ABV, 5 IBU. In 750ML bottles.

Pair with fresh cherries served with goat cheese & dark chocolate.

Sly Fox Helles Golden Lager. A German-style golden lager brewed with imported German pils malt and Saaz and Hallertau hops. This light-bodied beer offers a gentle, dry finish. A perennial favorite in the Sly Fox pubs and our brewer's go-to session beer. 4.9% ABV, 18 IBU.

Neshaminy Creek Blitzkrieg Hops Double IPA. With the amount of IPAs brewed here in the States you’d think that there’s only one way to skin a cat. While the West Coast style has long dominated the style, there’s a world of IPAs you should explore, and Blitzkrieg Hops DIPA wouldn’t be a bad start. Blitzkrieg is a big, 9% ABV, juicy, earthy hopped English-style

double IPA brewed entirely with English malts, hops, and fermented with an English ale yeast strain. Brewed with Maris Otter pale malt, and hopped with Admiral, Pilgrim, Phoenix, and Target hops; all big, juicy, high alpha English hops that we thought needed a lil’ love, each of which is over 10% alpha acid.  Blitzkrieg Hops DIPA is our homage to the birthplace of the IPA as well as the band that inspired its name. 98 IBU.

Weyerbacher Last Chance IPA. We’ve decided to take our Last Chance IPA and add a little twist...

We started with our 5.9% ABV Last Chance IPA, a full-flavored IPA with pleasant citrus flavors of tangerine and grapefruit. To that delightful brew, we’ve added apricots. Not just a few, but over 15 pounds of them per barrel! While the apricot is subtle on your first sip, it is certainly more noticeable after several sips. Due to the higher pectins of the apricot, this beer pours cloudy.

What does "Last Chance" mean? In May 2012, Weyerbacher began brewing and distributing Last Chance IPA. Since then, we’ve donated over $106,000 to animal organizations throughout our distribution area! Each month, we select 2 organizations.
