Casco Bay Brewing Company - Casco Bay Pale Ale

Casco Bay Brewing Company - Casco Bay Pale Ale

Casco Bay Brewing Company - Casco Bay Pale Ale

  • ABV: 4.60%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 30
  • Serving Temperature: 44-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass
  • Hops: Centennial, Cascade
  • Malts: Caramel, Carapils
  • Country: United States
This was Maine’s first and only year-round bottled American Style Pale Ale. The nose on this beer is classically restrained, revealing floral, citrus and pine hop elements. Expect a flavorful balance between caramel maltiness and bitter hops, with the bitter finish softened by a robust creaminess. We recommend you enjoy it with lightly-spiced foods or, ideally, some fresh Maine lobster at dinner next month with your Valentine. You didn’t forget t...

Grupo Cervezas Alhambra - Alhambra Negra

  • ABV: 5.40%
  • Serving Temperature: 42-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Pilsner Glass or Mug (clear or opaque)
  • Country: Spain
Note the Moorish lions on the label, a reminder of the regional heritage from where this beer is produced. This dark brown, reddish-hued lager presents a creamy, nutty nose, with caramel notes and a mild roasted malt character that is just all around inviting. Expect a creamy backbone and some slightly roasty, caramel notes, with a distinct flavor of dark rum. Try to pick out the subtle notes of anise and licorice, and enjoy the clean, caramel fi...

Casco Bay Brewing Company - Casco Bay Old Port Winter Ale

  • ABV: 6.60%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Holiday Mug (clear or opaque) or Oversized Wine Glass
  • Hops: Centennial, Cascade
  • Malts: Munich, Cara Munich, Aromatic
  • Country: United States
There are two things we know with absolute certainty: one is that the beers from Casco Bay B.C. are consistently well made; the other is that this time of year, it’s damn cold in Portland, Maine. So when we had a chance to taste Casco Bay B.C.’s Old Port Winter Ale, our suspicions were confirmed: this is a great place to source a well-made winter brew for those cold nights. Expect a fresh-smelling brew with balanced notes of white pepper, grains,...

Bluegrass Brewing Company - American Pale Ale

  • ABV: 5.75%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 50
  • Serving Temperature: 44-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Stange (tall, slender cylinder)
  • Hops: Centennial, Willamette
  • Malts: Special Pale, Caramunich, Flaked Barley, Special B
  • Country: United States
A new American classic! A few members of our panel are reordering entire cases of this stuff, it’s won them over and has become one of those easy to drink beers with tons of character—a balance that’s difficult to strike. We tip our hats to brewmaster David R. Pierce for his work on this one, and have a good feeling that more than a few of our readers will also be seeking out reorder cases of this brew. Expect pine and grapefruit notes on the nos...

Rodenbach Grand Cru

Brouwerij Rodenbach - Rodenbach Grand Cru

Brouwerij Rodenbach - Rodenbach Grand Cru

  • ABV: 5.2-5.6%
  • Country: Belgium

The world-classic beers of the Rodenbach brewery, and several similar products from competitors, mainly in West Flanders, are a distinct style without a name. They are more sharply acidic, leaner, more reddish, half-brothers to the Brown Beers of East Flanders, with the additional difference that they are often filtered and pasteurised. Their sharpness makes them perhaps the most quenching beers in the world, and their acidity...

Big City Brewing Company - Lion Heart Stout

  • ABV: 7.60%
  • Serving Temperature: 50-58° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Snifter or Tulip Glass
  • Country: Jamaica
The lion roaring on the label is one indication that this beer packs a wallop, as is this beer’s motto: “Taste the pride, feel the strength.” This king of the jungle from Kingston, Jamaica presents a unique experience to the stout fan. Unlike the dryness inherent in most classic or Irish stouts, this Caribbean version is what’s known as a foreign or tropical stout. These stouts are characterized by a sweeter malt backbone, often with less roastin...

  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Stein
  • Hops: UK Challenger, Willamette, Kent Goldin
  • Malts: Special Pale, Munich, Aromatic, Special B, Chocolate, Caramel Pils, Black
  • Country: United States
Applying his appreciation of beer styles from around the world, and a uniquely keen ability to make distinctly American brews, David R. Pierce has crafted beers that showcase the very best of all beery worlds. It takes a whopping 7 different malt varieties to create this dark beauty, which was named after the 1953 Kentucky Derby winner. Immediately note the big, roasty nose with notes of coffee, chocolate, plum and peat. When tasting, look for li...
