  • Hops: English Fuggles

The Shipyard Brewing Company takes great pride in brewing of all their English-style ales. Only top-fermenting, multi-strain yeast from the Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire, England is used with the finest, all-natural ingredients. Committed to brewing the freshest, most flavorful, full-bodied ales available, Alan Pugsley has worked hard toward this goal, though he plays down that fact. As he puts it, "People often ask me what it's like coming to wo...

Appearing off Maine’s coast by early summer are the majestic migratory Bluefin tuna. These famed fish can grow to an enormous size, with the largest examples weighing over 1,500 pounds and measuring close to 12 feet in length. Fish of this size can fetch more than $20,000 apiece for those who can catch them, making them quite valuable. Like its namesake, this beer is big, sought after, and quite the catch. Expect a dark, almost motor oil-colored ...

  • Hops: Cascade
  • Malts: Pale Malt, Munich, Caramel
  • Country: United States
“Let there be light!” Perhaps a biblical quote is fitting here, since this lager carries the word “Hell” in its title. But in actuality, the meaning of hell here has nothing to do with heaven—though the Atwater Hell has been described as heavenly by some. Hell means ‘lightly’ in German, and is a modified form of the word Helles (which means light/pale). Helles is the term used by the people of Munich (or Munchen in German) to depict a light beer ...

Darwin Brewery - Flag Porter

  • ABV: 5.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Country: England
Salvaging 163-year-old yeast that has been sitting at the bottom of a bottle—sitting at the bottom of the English Channel—now that’s quite a chore. Thankfully, the makers of this fine brew did their homework in order to come up with this authentic ale. Flag Porter was modeled on the brown porter style prevalent at the turn of the nineteenth century rather than the richly roasted Victorian porters that developed later. This would have been more ty...

Okocim Brewery - Okocim O.K. Pilsner

  • ABV: 6.20%
  • Serving Temperature: 48° F
  • Country: Poland
Okocim O.K. derives its quality from a recipe which incorporates the best of the indigenous Polish hop varieties, malted barley and pure spring water from the Tatra mountain range. The beer itself reflects the purity of these ingredients in its taste and is one of only a few Polish brews that helped define the “Polish Pils” style, which in turn separated Polish beers from the many other European brands. It is a light-to-medium-bodied beer that ac...

Pivovar Herold - Herold Midnight Wheat Lager

Pivovar Herold - Herold Midnight Wheat Lager

  • ABV: 5.3%
  • Hops: Saaz from Zatec and Bor
  • Malts: These malts were made for Herold, and are generally not used in the Czech Republic - specially-malted wheat from Moravia, local barley from Breznice, and dark specialties malted at Tabor and Brno.
  • Country: Czech Republic

What I like about this type of dark wheat beer is the sort of toffeeish maltiness from the dark beer, and the slightly crisp, sharp acidity – a bit like apples – from the wheat beer, is a bit like having a liquid toffee apple. The acidity that comes out from the fruitiness in the beer cuts the fat in a down home meal like sausage, egg and chips. It works pretty well, I say do try this at home...

Atwater Block Brewery - Atwater Dunkel

  • Serving Temperature: 48-52° F
  • Hops: Willamette
  • Malts: Munich, Caramel, Chocolate, Wheat, Peated
  • Country: United States
Not to get too philosophical on ya here, but consider this: what would light be without dark? You need one to define the other, and to prove our point, we’ve included the Atwater Dunkel as a counterpoint to the Atwater Hell. As you may have gathered, dunkel means ‘dark’ in German. While it doesn’t have the opaqueness of a stout, its darker color and name arose as a contrast to lighter-colored styles. Like its cousin from Munich, Munchner Helles, ...

I’ve always had difficulty figuring out a style name for those brownish-red sweet and sour beers that they make in West Flanders. And a brewery has come to my rescue – they have made a beer that is just called sweet and sour beer. In Flemish it’s called Zoetsuur, which has a nice rhythm to it. You might think a sweet and sour beer would be for drinking with Chinese food. I might give that a try. I certainly love these sweet and sour beers with pickled herring, but beer and food is getting more eclectic all the time.
