Do You Like to Cellar, or Enjoy Now? We've Got You Covered.

What a week we've had!  Lots of new beer deliveries this week.  Be sure to follow our stores' Instagrams for even more new brew!  Here's just a sampling of what came in on the trucks this week.  As always, please call the stores if you're coming in for something specific, as our beer departments move fast and things tend to sell out quickly!

21st Amendment Blood Orange IPA
Our newest beer to be released in March. Brewed with real blood oranges with a base of Brew Free or Die IPA. We added some additional Citra hops to compliment the oranges.  7% ABV

Avery El Gose
A timeless, traditional tart gose (goes-uh) with its zesty and salty disposition is brightened by a tangy citrus twist. A bier for every día! 4.5% ABV

Avery Uncle Jacob's Stout
In the quest to create a collection of barrel-aged beers to be reproduced annually, Avery Brewing Company is releasing Uncle Jacob’s Stout, the second member of its Annual Barrel Series. The collection began with Rumpkin rum barrel-aged pumpkin ale in the fall of 2011, and now continues with this 17.4% ABV stout that was aged in first-use Bourbon barrels for 6 months. While the Avery Barrel-Aged Series features one-time-only batches, such as the recent Muscat d’Amour and Récolte Sauvage, the Annual Barrel Series features a selection of cellarable barrel-aged beers that fans can return to and get to know every year.  17.1% ABV

Flying Dog Numero Uno
This beer was originally released in the summer of 2014 as part of our Brewhouse Rarities series. It's the artisanal answer to the easy-drinking, south-of-the-border light lagers. So drink up; there's no beach required. 4.9% ABV

Stone Enjoy By 420
This exquisite liquid patchwork of more than a dozen hops is a devastatingly fresh double IPA. Freshness is a key component of many beers – especially big, hoppy IPAs – but we've taken it further, a lot further, with this one. We brewed this IPA specifically NOT to last. We've gone to extensive lengths to ensure you get your hands on this beer within an extraordinarily short window, and we've sent a very clear message in the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right NOW to enjoy this IPA! 9.4% ABV
Other beers to note in Lawrenceville: Avery: Barleywine, Apricot Sour, Vanilla Bean Stout and Weyerbacher Cinnsanity

Other beers to note in Woodbridge: Evil Twin Lemonade IPA, Carton Cosmonaut, Manayhnk El Rio and Side Piece, Westbrook Siberian Black Magic Panther

Slainte!

Top o' the Mornin', craft beer lovers!  Check out some of what's been delivered to both of our stores this week!  This is just a small sampling of what's new, so be sure to stop in and check out our full selection.  As always, if you're coming in for something in particular, give the store a call to make sure it's still in stock.  Our craft beer departments move fast, and things sell out quickly!

Oskar Blues Hotbox Coffee Porter
This porter (6.4% ABV, 30 IBUs) is based on malt flavors of roasted nuts, crème brulee, cocoa, and caramel, extracted from English and German roast
ed and caramel malts. Hotbox Roasters then crashes the party and infuses potent, cold-extracted coffee from Burundi and Ethiopian beans and deals out flavors and aromas of dark plums, chocolate, and hints of blueberry.  6.5% ABV

Riverhorse Raspberry Tripel Horse
Year after year, the fan favorite at our cask festival is always our Tripel Horse Belgian Style Ale with raspberries. So we figured why not run with it! We've added 14 pounds of raspberries per barrel to our original Tripel Horse recipe and bottled it for you to enjoy at home. The label may be loud - but the raspberry is perfectly balanced in this smooth Belgian style beer.  10% ABV

Two Roads Road Jam
A wheat ale fermented with real red and black raspberries and accented with fresh lemongrass. It has a stunning red color and mouth-watering berry aroma. Fruity and refreshingly dry. 5% ABV

Two Roads Beer Bus Variety Pack
Variety pack featuring Honeyspot Road White IPA, No Limits Hefeweizen, Ol' Factory Pils, and Road Jam.  ABV Varies.

Additionally, the following are available in Lawrenceville only as of the time of this writing.

Kentucky Bourbon Vanilla Cream Ale
Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale is our take on a classic American style of beer. We took a cold-conditioned cream ale, brewed with a hint of flaked corn and bourbon vanilla beans, and aged it in freshly decanted bourbon barrels for a minimum of two months. Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale's medium body and 5.5% ABV make it the perfect barrel-aged beer for an all day event.

Neshaminy Creek The Shape of Hops to Come
“Can I scream….” for more hops? You sure can. Two row American barley jammed packed with as much Apollo, Newport, Simcoe, Topaz, and Citra hops we could get our hands on, The Shape of Hops to Come is an 8.5% ABV American-styled imperial IPA hopped with Apollo, Newport, Simcoe, Topaz, and Citra hops that’s got a ton of bitterness, along with juicy, dank resiny pine-like, and citrus forward hop character that is worthy of it’s name. Dry hopped for two weeks this hop bomb has as much hop power we can muster!
Smuttynose Blackberry Short Weiss
The clean, tart acidity of our lactic fermentation process contributes massive refreshment to beer drinkers. Aging the beer on blackberries adds a delicious flavor nuance that’s pure berry deliciousness. The lightweight can package means you can take this fruity refreshment anywhere or just keep a few on hand for spring yard work. 52% ABV

A Parade of Big Beers

Another week, another truck full of fresh craft beer deliveries.  Be sure to check the event calendars for information on tasting and other beer events we've got going on!  For Lawrenceville click here, and for Woodbridge, click here.  As always, be sure to call ahead if you're coming to the store for something specific, as our beer departments move quickly and stuff sells out fast!

Ballast Point Bonito Blonde Ale
Old Chicago exclusive.  Inspired by a California sunny day. Golden color and soft malt character with a light mouthfeel, subtle hop bite, and dry finish.  4.5% ABV

Ballast Point Sea RoseAmerican Wheat Ale with Cherries & Pomegranate.  4% ABV

Dogfish Head Saison du BuffThis beer is collaboration between Dogfish Head, Stone Brewing Co. (Escondido, CA) and Victory Brewing Company (Downingtown, PA).  Saison du BUFF is a 6.8% ABV Saison brewed with parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. The beer is brewed three times, once at each brewery using the same recipe.  6.8% ABV

Lagunitas Davey Murray's Best Scotch AleThis Scotch Ale is sweet, but not cloying. It's strong, but not brash. It's smooth and smokey, like a good dram among friends. Cheers!  9.5% ABV

Neshaminy Creek Leon Russian Imperial StoutLeon is a big beer. So big, it has twice as much malt as any other beer we brew.. On top of the copious amounts of two row barley, Munich, Victory, Chocolate, Black Patent, and Caramel 80 malt in this beer each 15 barrel brew has 50 pounds of freshly in-house handmade marshmallow fluff as well as 16 pounds of bittersweet bakers chocolate, and 30 pounds of crumbled graham crackers. Leon clocks in at just over 80 IBUs and 11.6% ABV. Does it taste like a Smore’s? That’s for you to decide, but either way this is one fun beer to make, not to mention drink.  11.5% ABV

Lost Abbey Carneval
Brewed in celebration of Lent and Easter season, Carnevale is light bodied Saison, using Brettanomyces along with Amarillo and Simcoe hops to generate flavor and depth. Carnevale’s complexity grows with time. The citrus notes tend to wane and the wild yeast rears its wonderfully tasting head.  6.5% ABV

Stone Tangerine Express IPA
This ain’t no just-add-juice approach. This one is for adults. We use bountiful whole tangerine purée, which brings pithy, crisp bitterness to the citrus flavor. In addition to the complexities of the tangerine — the likes of which you can only get by using the whole fruit — we judiciously employ just a hint of whole pineapple for a backnote (you’d likely not even pick it out of the mix if we didn’t tell you it was there). We’re not looking for a sweet concoction to appease the “I want my beer to taste like fruit juice” crowd. This is Stone. We like our IPAs to taste like IPAs. Big, bold and not for kids.  6.7% ABV

Our Craft Beer Department is Hot, Hot, Hot!

Another week, another batch of great new craft beer.  Below is just a small sampling of what we're having delivered this week at Woodbridge and Lawrenceville.  As always, our craft beer department moves fast, so if you're looking for something in particular, you'll want to call us at the store to make sure your item of choice hasn't sold out.

Alesmith Brewing Speedway Stout
Speedway Stout’s ominous, pitch-black appearance has become a hallmark of this modern-day classic. Chocolate and roasted malts dominate the flavor, supported by notes of dark fruit, toffee, and caramel. A healthy dose of locally-roasted coffee from Ryan Bros. Coffee, Inc. added to each batch brings out the beer’s dark chocolate flavors and enhances its drinkability. Despite its intensity, Speedway Stout’s fine carbonation and creamy mouthfeel make it very smooth and surprisingly easy to drink. This beer ages very well and will continue to
mature for many years to come. 12% ABV

Allagash Brewing Mattina Rosa
Raspberry defines the flavor, aroma, and hue of Mattina Rossa. After adding raspberries during the brewing process, the beer sits in stainless for primary fermentation with our house yeast. Next, Mattina Rossa goes into red wine barrels—with a mix of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, and Brettanomyces—to age and sour for around eighteen months. We finish by mixing the beer back into a stainless tank with fresh, local raspberries. Fully matured, Mattina Rossa is a fruity, funky beer whose tart notes of lemon rind, raspberry, and pomegranate precede a biscuity finish. 6.6% ABV

Ballast Point Brewing Mango Even Keel

Our Mango Even Keel is the ideal beer for easy drinking. This hoppy, session ale gets a flavor boost from mango, which perfectly plays off the citrusy hop bouquet. With fruit, hops, and a low ABV, this beer truly is on another level.  3.8% ABV

Bear Republic Brewing Grand Am IPA
Inspired by our team’s passion for racing, Grand-Am™ is an American Pale Ale worthy of the “Racer” family. True to our roots, this sessionable yet assertive ale balances both classic and new American hop varieties with a di
stinct malt backbone. Start your engines... 6% ABV.  93 points RateBeer!

Bear Republic Brewing Café Racer
Café Racer 15™ features aromas of bright citrus and resinous pine from the generous use of Citra, Amarillo, Cascade and Chinook hops which are complimented by a dry malt finish. The result is a high revving Double IPA that is loud and assertive, much like the rebellious street racers who inspired it. Never ride alone... 9.75% ABV

Rogue Brewing Sriracha Hot Stout
ROGUE Sriracha Hot Stout Beer, made from Huy Fong original hot chili sauce and sun ripened Rogue Farms ingredients, is ready to drink with soups, sauces, pasta, pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, chow mein, or anything you'd like to wash down with a spicy kick. 5.7% ABV

Rogue Brewing 4-Hop IPA
An approachable and aromatic session IPA. 4.44% ABV

Rogue Brewing 6-Hop IPA
This IPA features a big, beautiful bite. 6.66% ABV

Saugatuck Brewing Neapolitan Milk Stout
A perfect blend of classic dry stout character with brilliant flavors of Neapolitan Ice Cream. Experience the nostalgic flavors of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry all in one glass – because sometimes ice cream just isn’t enough.  6% ABV

Sixpoint Brewing C.R.E.A.M.
You started with cream in your coffee, now have coffee in your cream ale. Pour up a bright blonde coffee ale and end your day the way you started it. With a delicious craft brew. It's Mad Science. 7.2% ABV
