Early Corner

This list of newly arrived Craft Beer always comes with caveats: supplies are limited, so please check with the store before making a special trip for any one item.

Seasonal beers are particularly limited by their very nature. The autumn beers will start arriving in 4 or 5 weeks or so; don't run out of summer beer before before you run out of summer!

Abita Seersucker Summer Pils. This is a traditional pilsner with a full bodied malt flavor, hop bitterness and a light golden color. It is made with pilsner and carapils malts, hopped with German Tradition and Spalt hops. This Pils pairs well with seasonal summer favorites like grilled chicken, salmon or garden salads. It also is a refreshing choice with spicier dishes, Mexican food and most Asian cuisines. Try it with a mild white

Vermont cheddar, Havarti or Monterey Jack cheese. 4.8% ABV, 35 IBU. Suggested glassware: pilsner, tulip or wheat.

Nebraska EOS Hefeweizen. This medium to full-bodied beer, pale to golden in color, is most accurately described as a Bavarian wheat beer. The aroma and flavor of this unfiltered beer is decidedly fruity and spicy evoking tastes and aromas of cloves, nutmeg or sometimes vanilla with banana-like esters. Somewhat sweeter in

style with a barely noticeable tartness. An award winning Hefeweizen from the heartland. 5.2% ABV, 13 IBU.

Evil Twin Citra Sunshine Slacker. Despite his bitterness, lack of power and insuperable aversion to any kind of extravagant labor - he kind of has a charming charisma, and perhaps he is even lovable. Somehow we find him unbelievable irresistible and stimulating because he is one of the few that masters the ability to effortlessly impress with his sharp intelligence and make it look so damn easy. 4.5% ABV.

Fort Collins Savor Series American-Style Barley Wine. This outrageous ale has aromas of tropical fruits and piney resin. Brewed entirely with Columbus hops and

then dry-hopped with El Dorado for a heavy, but balanced mouthfeel. Slightly sweet, slightly hoopy and definitely excessive, it finishes remarkably smooth. 10.5% ABV, 91 IBU.

Dishes with a slight tartness will help enhance the tropical aromas of this beer. Ideal for baking. Pair with Gorgonzola.

This next selection is currently available exclusively at our Lawrenceville store, in Bombers and six-packs.

Fegley's Brew Works Space Monkey. Space Monkey is formulated to rocket around your palate with a 21st century complexity in flavor and aroma. Hints of lemon and pepper

orbit around a raspberry tartness to guarantee a successful flight. Brewed with 480 lbs of raspberries!

Big raspberry aroma with a touch of farmhouse grain, hits the mouth with sweet and tart raspberries touched with lemon and pepper. Refreshingly semidry with a crisp yeasty finish. 7.0% ABV, 25 IBU.

Serve in a tulip glass. Food Pairings: - Salads and Aperitifs - Poultry, Seafood & Shellfish entrees - Earthy cheeses (Camembert, Fontina) - Nutty cheeses (Asiago, Colby, Parmesan).

And this final selection is currently available exclusively at our

Woodbridge store.

Wild Onion Radio Free Pils. A highly sessionable Czech-style pilsner. Smooth and crisp with just enough malt body and plenty of spicy hop flavor. 5.2% ABV.
