Holiday Shopping Corner

We were pleasantly surprised at the number of visitors we had in our beer department last week, in the run up to Thanksgiving. With two more major holidays coming up, and a limited amount of craft
beer available, we suggest shopping early. As always, some of these products are available only on an allocated basis.

Weyerbacher Berry Monks. Berry Monks is a variation on our classic Belgian Tripel, Merry Monks, brewed with cranberries, orange peel and ginger. This 9.3% ABV ale is ripe with apple and pear notes, which blend nicely with the tartness of
the cranberries, the citrus twist of the orange peel and a touch of ginger.

Oskar Blues Death by Coconut. Intense pure liquid cacao flavors swirl with popping coconut aromas, all supported by a semi-sweet porter made from loads of our dark chocolate and extra dark caramel malt. This limited release specialty comes around once a year to satisfy that sweet tooth, so get 'em while you can before they disappear. At 6.5% ABV and 25 IBUs, this choconut goodness will have you yellin' "Pass. Dash. Hit." all winter long.

River Horse Oatmeal Milk Stout. A velvety smooth Stout brewed with oats and milk sugar that create a creamy finish over a dark malt base. ABV - 6.7%.

Lagunitas High West-ified Imperial Coffee Stout. Another One Hitter, this is Ale Brewed with Coffee and then Aged in High West Rye Barrels. This beer couldn't have been done without the help from our friends at High West Distillery in Park City, UT and Chicago's-own Metropolitan Coffee. We brewed a rich, malty Imperial Stout with some of Metropolitan's Spice Island blend, then let it vintag-ize in High West Rye and Bourbon Barrels for up to 17 FREAKING MONTHS. It's good to have friends! 12.2% ABV. 39.6 IBU. Very limited availability.

Allocated Beer: Our Lawrenceville store will receive a small delivery of Stone Xocoveza and Oskar Blues Barrel Aged Ten Fidy. You will definitely need to
ask for assistance on these beers.

Other  beers due to arrive include Left Hand Wake Up Nitro, Weyerbacher Quad and Schlafly Christmas. Look also for a couple of seasonal Ballast Point beers, in 22oz bottles.
