Flying Dog Brewing Company - Snake Dog IPA

Flying Dog Brewing Company - Snake Dog IPA

Flying Dog Brewing Company - Snake Dog IPA

  • ABV: 5.80%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
  • Serving Temperature: 42-48° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Chalice or Mug (clear)
  • Hops: Warrior, Columbus, Golding
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Crystal
  • Country: United States
We’re not sure what caused the snake dog creature on the label to look the way it does, but we suspect that a dog and snake simultaneously came into contact with a massive hops cache and, like the superpower-forming radioactive rays present in old comic books, a transformation ensued. The superpowers held by this hop hero are from the massive lupulin content (them’s the hops oils). Expect huge, perfumy and floral piney and woody hop resin notes w...

Abita Brewing Company - Abita Turbo Dog

Abita Brewing Company - Abita Turbo Dog

  • ABV: 5.50%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 28
  • Serving Temperature: 42-48° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug or Stein (or lapping bowl)
  • Hops: Liberty, Vanguard, Tettenang
  • Malts: Pale, Vienna, Munich, Caramel
  • Country: United States
This fine canine-inspired brew was originally crafted as a specialty beer to celebrate the company’s fourth birthday back in 1990. It met with such enthusiasm that it has since become one of Abita’s five flagship brews. In August of this year it was ranked by Stuff magazine as the #1 beer made in the USA. Look for a sweet malty (and wet) nose followed by sweet chocolate and toffee flavors. You won’t find many hops while lapping this tasty nectar,...

Abita Brewing Company - Abita Christmas Ale

  • ABV: 5.00%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 29
  • Serving Temperature: 48-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Holiday Mug (clear or opaque)
  • Hops: Willamette, Kent
  • Malts: Pale, Cara Red, Cara Munich, Crystal
  • Country: United States
Abita Christmas Ale is a festive dark ale crafted with special care. Each year, Abita changes the secret recipe a bit, making every annual batch unique. Have a sniff of this brew and you’ll quickly notice the holiday spices—nutmeg, clove, ginger, a touch of anise and some citrus notes fill the nose. Look also for a firm malt backbone to support all of these spices. Expect these elements to be less prominent in the flavor profile, with the nutty m...

Staatliches Hofbräuhaus (Hofbräu München) - Hofbräu Original

  • ABV: 5.10%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Flute or Pilsener Glass
  • Country: Germany
The water used for brewing Hofbräu München beers is drawn from their own well, nearly 500 feet below beery-hallowed Bavarian ground. At such depths, the water is protected from any negative environmental influences. This water was deposited in the foothills of the Alps before the Stone Age! Expect that characteristic German mustiness on the nose, with grains and slight bitterness evident. In the flavor, look for notes of fresh bread, grains, a sl...

Dogfish Head Brewery - Pangaea

Dogfish Head Brewery - Pangaea

  • ABV: 7.0%
  • Country: United States

From the man who was once described to me, by an admirer of his, as the Robert de Niro of brewers - with the good looks of a movie start but the sensitivity of a poet – comes this month’s selection, Pangaea. It was brewed with ingredients from every continent, and is yet another extraordinarily adventurous Dogfish beer.

Flying Dog Brewing Company - Old Scratch Amber Ale

  • ABV: 5.40%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 22.5
  • Serving Temperature: 42-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, or Pilsner glass (flute)
  • Hops: German Perle, Hallertau
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Malted White Wheat, Munich, Crystal
  • Country: United States
With back to back Gold medals at the 2004 and 2005 Great American Beer Festivals, this dog is flyin’ high indeed! You could say they won “Best in Show”. OK, OK, the newsletter is almost over… so the dog puns will cease very soon… This beer sets the standard in the Amber Lager category, yet it’s still an unpretentious brew. Expect malty sweetness on the nose and in the flavor, balanced by a well-rounded citrus hop finish in this very easy-drinking...

Coopers Brewery Limited - Coopers Extra Strong Vintage Ale (2004)

  • ABV: 7.50%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Oversized Wine Glass, or Snifter
  • Country: Australia
Made with barley and wheat malts cultivated in Coopers’ own malt house, this balanced brew is triple-hopped with Hersbrucker, Cascade and Australian Pride of Ridgewood hops and fermented with a 90-year old yeast strain! A true “collector’s beer”, it’s a great candidate for aging, so try to put away a few bottles and sample them at various points over the next 2+ years. You’ll find that older versions will develop more complexity and roundness. No...
