Features Of The Month!!!!
Stone 14th Anniversary Emperial IPA Stone Brewing went to England this past spring as self-styled “IPA Hunters” on a
mission to learn more about the confusing history of India Pale Ale – to look for some certainty where those
before them have found mostly mystery. Stone Brewing Co., after all, traces its lineage back to the British
Empire’s brewing history, and all of their original
offerings used traditional British styles as a jumping-off point. From the imported white malt
to the “Burtonised” water to the rare yeast strain to the most pungent
hops Kent has to offer, they used all British ingredients to brew their
“Emperial” IPA. While they may have brewed Stone 14th Anniversary
Emperial IPA with their own distinctively modern, San Diego-style touch,
what good is history if you can’t rewrite it to suit your tastes? In this case, their tastes called for highly intemperate quantities of
Target, East Kent Goldings, and Boadicea hops, bestowing upon this
dry-bodied ale a powerfully spicy, earthy aroma. On the palate, peppery
hops assert themselves early and often, with malt sweetness making a
brief appearance before being beaten back by a long, complex, and
decisively bitter finish. We will be pouring this awesome IPA at this Fridays tasting so don't miss out!!
Harpoon 100 Barrel Series #32-Potts Landbier
This beer, the 32nd in the series, has
was inspired by Joerg Pott of Pott's Brauerei in Oelde,
Germany. Pott’s master brewer, Peter Wienstroer, collaborated with
Harpoon’s Todd Charboneau to brew this beer. The
origins of this beer go back to 2003 when a group of German brewers,
including Rainer and Joerg Pott of Pott's Brauerei, took a tour of
American breweries that included Harpoon. A few years later in 2007
Joerg joined the Harpoon staff for the summer months to learn more about
American craft beer. During
Joerg’s 3-month tenure at Harpoon, the idea of brewing a beer together
was mentioned often, but the timing never quite seemed to work out–
until now. Pott’s
Landbier, or “country beer,” is a traditional session lager with
a decidedly malty backbone made up of a blend of German and North
American malts. The smooth malt character is tempered by the German
bittering hop Magnum, which lends a clean, crisp balance. This beer is
finished with more German hops for a spicy herbal palate and aroma.
Fermented with Pott’s proprietary lager yeast – and imbued with over 240
years of German brewing tradition -- this is just the beer to quench
your summer thirst.
Avery Anniversary Seventeen After
years of commemorating their anniversaries with deliciously wild and
weird ales, Avery decided to mix it up a bit and create their first
Anniversary Lager. Seventeen is a celebration and case study of the
aromas and flavors of German hops. And knowing Avery's love for those
beautiful green cones, you can be confident that the contents of the
bottle are excessively hopped for your pleasure. Brewed with Rocky
Mountain water, malted barley,
imported German hops, and German yeast. This is easily the best black
lager we have in the store, make sure to get a sample this Friday
Kulmbacher Eisbock
The ice bock, also known as "Bayrisch Gefrorns", owes its discovery to a
coincidence. According to the chronicles of the Kulmbacher brewery,
some time around 1900 an apprentice forgot on a cold winter day to carry
two barrels of bock beer into the brewery cellar. The barrels stayed
outside, were covered by ice and snow and weren’t discovered until the
following spring. The barrels had burst and the apprentice was
reprimanded. But the carelessness was a stroke of luck because under the
thick ice coat, a bock beer extract remained, strong tasting and high
in alcoholic content. Even if the dark, tasty speciality is not produced in this spectacular
way anymore, the chance that gave birth to this beer became a tradition.
Today this beer rarity is brewed in a modern brewing and freezing
process, but the incomparable taste is still the same and can always be
enjoyed in winter months. This beer is expensive, but so very worth it. One of the best German beers in the store, hands down.
Abita Satsuma Harvest
Real Louisiana satsuma oranges, golden wheat and the finest barley create
Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit. Pale and cloudy, this white beer has a sweet and subtle citrus flavor that is cool and
refreshing. Abita Satsuma Harvest Wit is a summertime brew that’s
Louisiana True.
