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! |

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. |

Bristol's Old #23 An 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. Style: Barley Wine Ale Color: Rich Auburn Alcohol: 10.4% ABV Body: Very Big Hops: Magnum, Crystal, Cascade, Goldings Malts: Crystal, 2-row, Choc., Victory, Special Roast |

Subdued grain astringency adds perfect balance. Body is medium-full; texture is creamy and velvety. Alcohol by Volume - 5.9% |

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% |

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. |

Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA ABV: 9.0% IBU: 90 Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute IPA., "perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate. 90 Minute IPA was our first continually-hopped beer, which is a method of hopping that allows for a pungent, but not crushing hop flavor. |

New Belgium Fat Tire Named in honor of our founder Jeff's bike trip through Belgium, Fat Tire Amber Ale marks a turning point in the young electrical engineer's home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader palette of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Jeff found the Belgian approach freeing. Upon his return, Jeff created Fat Tire and Abbey Belgian Ale, (assuming Abbey would be his big gun). He and his wife, Kim traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire's appeal quickly became evident. People liked everything about it. Except the name. Fat Tire won fans is in its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness. Alcohol by Volume - 5.2% |

New Belgium 2° Below Ale Pull on your wool socks and crack open a 2° Below Ale. This tasty winter warmer started life as a small batch beer brewed for the Al Johnson Uphill Downhill – a telemark ski race in Crested Butte, Colorado. The Uphill Downhill celebrates the exploits of Al Johnson, letter carrier extra ordinaire, who delivered mail by ski in the late 1800’s. Dry hopping during fermentation creates a floral nose with a hint of pepper and spicy, subtle undertones. 2° Below provides a bright, hoppy palate and a cheery warm afterglow. ABV: 6.6% |

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% |

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. |

Pilsner Urquell As its name claims ("original source" is the meaning of both "Urquell" in German; the official language of Bohemia when it was a part of the Austrian Empire in which the brewery was founded in 1839, and of "Prazdroj", in Czech); it is the world's original pilsener, or golden beer. Most popular lagers produced in the rest of the world are based upon this original beer. [2] Many beers that call themselves a pilsner, pilsener or pils refer to being made in the style of this beer, first brewed by Josef Groll on 5 October 1842. The Bavarian brewer had been hired by local German-speaking citizens who had founded the B'rgerbrauerei (Burghers' brewery, later translated to Mě'ťansk, pivovar in Czech). Alcohol by Volume - 4.4% |
