Kulmbacher Brauerei - Kulmbacher Eisbock

  • ABV: 9.20%
  • Serving Temperature: 52-60°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Snifter
  • Country: Germany
Important Note: though this brew is subjected to very cold temperatures while maturing, it should be enjoyed at cellar temperature to experience its complete flavor profile.

Well, this is it – the original Bavarian Eisbock, and it’s as appreciated now as it was when it first became popular so many years ago. How appreciated is it, you ask? There’s actually a beer festival devoted to eisbock that’s celebrated in Kulmbach every March. The oc...

Microbrasserie Les Trois Mousquetaires - Porter Baltique

Microbrasserie Les Trois Mousquetaires - Porter Baltique

Microbrasserie Les Trois Mousquetaires - Porter Baltique

  • Style: Baltic Porter
  • ABV: 10.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Country: Canada
Baltic Porter is a favorite style of ours, though they’re not particularly easy to come by, so we revel in the chance to try a new one, and Porter Baltique from Canada’s Les Trois Mousquetaires is a gem. Baltic Porter is so named because of its history of being sent to and later brewed in countries bordering the Baltic Sea (notably Finland, Poland, Sweden, Estonia and Lithuania). Derived from English porters but influenced by Russian Imperial Sto...

SweetWater Brewing Company - 420 Extra Pale Ale

SweetWater Brewing Company - 420 Extra Pale Ale

SweetWater Brewing Company - 420 Extra Pale Ale

  • ABV: 5.00%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 40
  • Serving Temperature: 40-47°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Centennial, Cascade
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Munich, 40L
  • Country: United States
420 Extra Pale Ale was brewed for the first time on the 20th April, 1997, hence the name. Yeah, well, we’d bet a nickel and a dime that it’s not the whole reason behind the name, but we can’t confirm. On the pour, expect a lightly hazy golden color on this lighter-bodied West Coast style pale ale. Biscuity malts and light caramel aromas come through on the nose, but it’s the hops that are the star of this show, offering juicy floral, citric no...

Casco Bay Brewing Company  - Riptide Red Ale

Casco Bay Brewing Company - Riptide Red Ale

Casco Bay Brewing Company - Riptide Red Ale

  • ABV: 4.75%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 31.5
  • Serving Temperature: 42-47°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Cluster, Cascade, Saphir
  • Malts: Pale, Dark Crystal, Caramunich II, Munich Light, Chocolate
  • Country: United States
Riptide presents an attractive reddish-amber color capped by a sizeable, fluffy head from an aggressive pour. On the nose, this Irish-style red ale offers up notes of warm caramel, some toasty breadcrust, some graham cracker and a bit of butterscotch. There’s a somewhat marzenbier-like impression, and the hops are subdued but come through a bit grassy and mildly citric. As it hits your palate, expect a creamy, smooth mouthfeel as the malts off...

Sweetwater Brewing Company - IPA

Sweetwater Brewing Company - IPA

  • ABV: 6.30%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 61
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe, US Golding
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Munich, Wheat, 70/80
  • Country: United States
Sweetwater’s IPA presents a clear, light copper color with a big cap of off-white foam that drops plenty of lacing down the side of the glass. We fell in love immediately with the nose on this brew. The hop profile is sweet and complex, with a lush, juicy citric cocktail of orange and grapefruit, a touch of pine resin, and a floral undertone. Lightly doughy and mild caramel malt aromas underpin the expressive hops. On the palate the hop flavo...

Casco Bay Brewing Company - Casco Bay Brown Ale

Casco Bay Brewing Company - Casco Bay Brown Ale

  • ABV: 5.38%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 32.5
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Challenger, East Kent Goldings, English Fuggles
  • Malts: Pale, Crystal, Chocolate, Roasted Barley, Torrified Wheat
  • Country: United States
On the pour, expect a deep reddish brown color capped by a moderately sized tan head. The aroma profile is dominated by the rich, malty aroma of soft brown bread, with light notes of chocolate, molasses, and a fig-like wisp. On the palate, big, lightly toasted, bready malts compose the core of this brew. Notes of brown sugar join with some chocolate, while a lightly fruity impression flows underneath with a hint of tartness. Look for the hops...

Kulmbacher Brauerei - Kulmbacher Pilsner

  • ABV: 5.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 40-47°F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsener Glass, Flute, or Stein
  • Country: Germany
From it’s invention as a new beer style in 1842, pilsner (or “pilsener”) has gone on to conquer the world and become the most popular style in the history of beer. Before the creation of this style, most beer was cloudy and much darker in color. Originating in the town of Pilsen (in the present day Czech Republic), the new brew was the first to offer up a brilliant, clear, golden color. Germany quickly embraced the new style, with German brewe...

Saint Somewhere Brewing Company - Cynthiana

  • Style: Dark Strong Farmhouse Ale
  • ABV: 8.00%
  • Serving Temperature: 48-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Oversized Wine Glass
  • Country: United States
Brewery owner, founder, brewer (and as sole employee, almost everything else), Bob Sylvester created this beer just for our members, and we’re pretty darn psyched to be bringing it to you. The beer is named for the Cynthiana grape, also known as the Norton varietal, named after Dr. D. N. Norton of Richmond, Virginia, who first grew the hybrid in 1820. It’s the oldest cultivated American grape, and is one of, if not the only true, native grape var...
