Return to List	Black Fox Debut Style: Belgian Saison ABV: 6.1% Malts: Pilsener, Munich, Crystal, Oats IBUs: 27 Hops: Hallertau, Saaz, E. Kent The first brew in the Black Fox Brewing line-up. Created by John & Nicole Schneider, the "Debut" has a refreshing hint of lemon zest and ginger.
Return to List	Avery The Reverend Beer Style: Belgian Quadruple Ale Color: Tawny Hop Variety: Styrian Goldings Malt Variety: Two-row barley, cara 8, cara 20, caramel 15L, caramel 40L, Belgian special B OG: 1.093 Alcohol By Volume: 10.0% IBU's: 10 The Reverend, was created in tribute to the life of Sales Mgr. Tom Boogaard's grandfather, an ordained Episcopal Reverend. Tom was inspired by the life of his grandfather and wanted to create a tribute beer that contained his sterling traits. True to both our "small brewery, BIG BEERS" philosophy and to the spirit and character of the departed Reverend, this beer is assertive, and pure of heart, a heart of candy sugar. It contains as many authentic imported Belgian specialty malts as the brewers could cram into our mash tun, and lots of Belgian dark candy sugar stirred into the brew kettle. A divinely complex and beautifully layered beer with hints of dark cherries, currants, and molasses, complimented by an underlying spiciness and a finish that is Sinfully smooth!
Return to List	Avery White Rascal
Return to List	Boulevard Tank 7 Saison ABV: 8.5% Pours a beautifully translucent, golden-blonde hue with torrents of carbonation rising up from the etched glass bottom. A thick cap of soft, off-white foam slowly settles, but is easily revived with a swirl of the glass. Gorgeous lacing all the way through. The aroma is heavy on the fruit and floral hops, with notes of pineapple, coriander, orange peel, and a faint whiff of funk. Very enticing nose that builds the anticipation.
Return to List	Bristol's Mass Transit Ale Style: Amber Ale Color: Amber              ABV: 4.8% ABV Body: Medium Hops: Chinook, Tettnang IBUs: 21         Malts: 2 Row, Crystal, Vienna, Victory Based on the amber style, Mass Transit is a flavorful ale that goes down effortlessly. Crystal, Carapils, Victory and Vienna specialty malts give this ale its rich auburn color and mellow taste.n annual Bristol tradition, Old No. 23 revives an English farmhouse brewery tradition of making a complex ale to set aside for special occasions. Our version, while tedious and time-consuming to brew, rewards the connoisseur with an ale that has the depth and complexity of a good brandy or single malt scotch. Massive quantities of malt and hops, a long aging time and limited availability make this a special ale worthy of its reputation.
Return to List	Bristol's Laughing Lab Scottish Ale Winner of the Silver in the Scottish Ale category at the 1996 World Beer Cup,� the 2000 and 2006 Gold Medals, the 2007, 2002, 2001, and 1996 Silver Medals and the 1994 and 2005 Bronze Medals in the Scottish Ale category at the Great American Beer Festival, Laughing Lab has a complex maltiness that comes from six specialty malts. Its nutty, roasted flavor is mildly sweet, but not too rich. Smooth and luscious! Beer Specifications Style: Scottish Ale Color: Deep Red Alcohol: 5.3% ABV Hops: Chinook, Willamette Body: Medium/Full Malts: 2 Row, Chocolate, Crystal, Carapils
Return to List	Left Hand Milk Stout Crystal clear dark brown brew with garnet highlights. Very short light tan head dissipates quickly. Aroma is wonderful mix of coffee roastiness and dark chocolatiness.  Dark roast malt flavor quickly transitions to luscious blend of bitter dark chocolate and semi-sweet dark caramel malt flavor.  Finish is more of the same with late hints of vanilla and almond notes. Subdued grain astringency adds perfect balance.  Body is medium-full; texture is creamy and velvety.  Alcohol by Volume - 5.9%
Return to List	Left Hand JuJu Ginger ABV: 4.2% IBUs: 20 This beer is basically a pale ale brewed from a relative low gravity, with some of the hops which would normally be used in the beer replaced by freshly ground ginger root. The beer is light in body, lower in alcohol, has a distinct ginger aroma, and has a very crisp finish. It was initially brewed as a refreshing alternative to the plethora of wheat beers which are popular in the summer time.
Return to List	Ska Decadent Imperial IPA Citrus aroma prevails. Mounds of fresh hops and caramel malts explode upon the palate. Originally produced to celebrate Ska's tenth year in business, this Imperial IPA hides nothing of our tendency toward self-indulgent behavior. The flavors of bitter grapefruit and caramel-like sweetness smack the taste buds, but there is plenty of bitterness throughout. There is just the right amount of finishing hops and carbonation to set you up for the next round. ABV: 10%
Return to List	Ska Modus Hoperandi ABV: 6.8% IBU: 65 First sip brings smooth biscuity malt with a touch of caramel that is quickly overtaken by herbal, earthy, pine resin hops. Bitterness kicks in full force and rides its way to the finish. A bit fruity and grassy as well. An interesting IPA that is blasting with a wild hop profile. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and super smooth.
Return to List	Dogfish Head Midas Touch ABV: 9.0% IBU: 12 This recipe is the actual oldest-known fermented beverage in the world! It is an ancient Turkish recipe using the original ingredients from the 2700 year old drinking vessels discovered in the tomb of King Midas. Somewhere between wine & mead; this smooth, sweet, yet dry ale will please the Chardonnay and beer drinker alike. Tasting Notes: Honey, saffron, papaya, melon, biscuity, succulent
Return to List	Dogfish Head Aprihop IPA ABV: 7.0% IBUs: 30 Pours a thin off-white head which dissipated quickly. The beer itself is a slightly hazy walnut-gold-copper color. Smells of Apricot dominates the nose, but it’s not overpowering—very pleasant, in fact. There’s some subtle hop action going on there, also. First taste impression is the apricot. It’s good, but not cloying. Then there’s rich, bready, nutty (toasted?) malt. Clean hop flavor which doesn’t overpower the fruit. The apricot is mild, not bitter at all (I once brewed an apricot ale that was on the bitter side… probably from the skins).
Return to List	Trinity's Sunna Wit ABV: 4.8% Distinct and delicate flaked wheat and oat beer. A noticeable citrus exists resulting from the addition of tangerine, lemon, lime zests, and corriander during the boil. Aging this beer on rose petals and fermenting it with 50% Saison yeast, we create signature earthy and spicy notes.
Return to List	New Belgium Ranger IPA ABV: 6.5% IBUs: 70 So, here it finally is – New Belgium’s foray into the true American India Pale Ales. Bring out the hops! This clear amber beauty bursts at the starting gate with an abundance of hops: Cascade (citrus), Chinook (floral/citrus), and Simcoe (fruity) lead off the beer, with Cascade added again for an intense dry hop flavor. Brewed with pale and dark caramel malts that harmonize the hop flavor from start to finish, Ranger is a sessionable splendor for all you hopinistas.
Return to List	New Belgium Mighty Arrow ABV: 6.0% IBUs: 35 MIGHTY ARROW Pale Ale provides lots of pleasurable sniffs from Amarillo and Cascade hops with a fetching honey malt base. This is our brewed tribute to Arrow, Kim's Aussie/Border Collie mix who ran (literally) New Belgium for 12 years. When she wasn't patrolling the brewery grounds, she was famous for her office visits: She never met a tummy rub she didn't like. Atta girl Arrow.
Return to List	Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. Our deliciously deranged American-Style Hefeweizen is an award winning take on this Bavarian classic. This refreshingly unfiltered wheat ale delivers a distinctively smooth flavor worth sharing with friends. Alcohol By Volume: 5.20% Hops: Nugget, Liberty, Mt. Hood Malts: 39% 2 Row Pale Barley, 60% Malted Wheat,1% Caramel
Return to List	Steamworks' Steam Engine Lager Steam Engine Lager is an American classic noted for its malt sweetness and hop spice with a smooth, dry finish. It is arguably the best American-style Amber Lager in the world.  Steam Engine Lager's balanced profile and crisp finish make it a very versatile beer to pair with many types of foods. A tip: this crisp well-balanced lager goes particularly well with red meat, spicy foods and cheddar cheese. Alcohol by Volume - 5.3%
Return to List	Stone's Arrogant Bastard This is an aggressive beer.  You probably won't like it.  It is doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.  We would suggest that you stick to a safer and more familiar territory - maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it's made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beer will give you more sex appeal.  Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make a beer taste better.  Perhaps you're mouthing your words as you read this.  Alcohol by Volume - 7.2%
Return to List	Ska True Blonde ABV: 5.3%    IBU: 39 A smooth and sexy brew. Like golden waves of yeast crashing on a golden beach of golden sand with golden taps spewing golden beer that's smooth as gold. A crisp blonde ale. Golden in color, medium in body - she's brewed with the help and the honey of durango's honeyville bees. The taste is mildly sweet from the use of local honey, followed by bready malts, a touch of tangy wheat, a pleasantly mild bitterness, and citrus hop flavors in the end.
Return to List	Victory Prima Pils Malts:  2 row German pilsner malt Hops:  German and Czech whole flowers ABV:  5.3% Heaps of hops give this pale lager a bracing, herbal bite over layers of soft and smooth malt flavor. This refreshing combination of tastes makes Prima a classy quencher in the tradition of the great pilsners of Europe. Dry and delightful, this is an elegant beer.
Return to List	It's PBR! Pabst Blue Ribbon, also known as just PBR, is the most famous product of the Pabst Brewing Company. Originally called Best Select, and then Pabst Select, the current name came from the blue ribbons that used to be tied around the bottle neck, a practice that ran from 1882 until 1916.  Alcohol by Volume - 4.7%
