Harpoon Dark

Harpoon Brewing Company - Harpoon Dark

Harpoon Brewing Company - Harpoon Dark

  • Style: Dunkel Lager
  • ABV: 5.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 35
  • Serving Temperature: 47-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Stange, or Flute
  • Hops: Apollo, Willamette
  • Malts: Pale, Caramel 60 & 80, Carapils, Chocolate, Bonlander
  • Country: United States

This Munich-style Dunkel Lager is normally a draft-only option, so we’re excited Harpoon has agreed to bottle a batch for us. Be sure to let this one come up a bit from fridge temperature before enjoying. Pouring deep brown with mahogany highlights and a head of light brown foam, Harpoon Dark certainly looks inviting. The aroma backs that up; look for deep caramel notes with a bit of roasty char, light chocolate tones, espresso, bread crust...

Harpoon Octoberfest

Harpoon Brewing Company - Harpoon Octoberfest

Harpoon Brewing Company - Harpoon Octoberfest

  • Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
  • ABV: 5.3%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 32
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Mug, or Flute
  • Hops: Willamette, Tettnang
  • Malts: Pale, Bonlander (Munich), Caramel 80, Wheat, Chocolate
  • Country: United States

This September-October seasonal brew from Harpoon pours an attractive, rich, reddish-amber color capped by a robust head of foam. We’re off to a good start. On the nose, look for an inviting caramel note overlaid with some floral and fruity tones. Boldly malty on the palate, this brew delivers a robustly caramelized and well-toasted core complemented by a juicy, fruity impression likely due to the American Willamette hops and possibly even the...

Renaissance Wit

Harlem Brewing Company - Renaissance Wit

Harlem Brewing Company - Renaissance Wit

  • Style: Witbier
  • ABV: 5.8%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 12
  • Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, or Mug
  • Hops: Saaz
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Castle Biscuit, Wheat Malt, Flaked Oats
  • Country: United States

Pouring a lightly hazy golden hue with a nearly white cap of foam, Renaissance Wit offers up some vibrant aromatics very much in line with what we expect from a Belgian-style witbier. Brewed with coriander, cumin, grains of paradise, and orange peel, it certainly presents quite a spicy attitude on the nose. Look for huge coriander notes to add a big spicy and herbal character, backed up by some supporting citrus zest. We felt the orange peel...

Sugar Hill Golden Ale

Harlem Brewing Company - Sugar Hill Golden Ale

Harlem Brewing Company - Sugar Hill Golden Ale

  • Style: Golden Ale/Blonde Ale
  • ABV: 6.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 18
  • Serving Temperature: 40-47° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Perle, Hallertau
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Wheat Malt, Munich
  • Country: United States

This brew presents a rich golden amber color topped by a sizeable, fluffy, off-white head that retains very well and drops to a persistent collar. Unlike some golden ales, Sugar Hill offers up a readily discernable malt character on the nose, with a nice touch of caramel, some biscuits, and a wisp of toffee. Hops add a subtly complex profile including herbal, lightly spicy, earthy, and mildly floral notes with a dab of citrus. On the palate...

Scottish Oat Stout

Belhaven Brewery - Scottish Oat Stout

Belhaven Brewery - Scottish Oat Stout

  • Style: Oatmeal Stout
  • ABV: 7.0%
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Mug, or Snifter
  • Country: Scotland

Pouring virtually black with a head of medium brown foam, Belhaven’s Scottish Oat Stout offers up a complex aroma; look for notes of dark and milk chocolate, deep caramel, toasted bread, hints of coffee and cola, molasses, dark rum, and more. These notes translate to the flavor as well, although for us the molasses note seems to emerge stronger here, as does some dark fruit character. Hops add a touch of spice, which conjures impressions...

Friedenfelser Steinwald Zoigl

Schlossbrauerei Friedenfels - Friedenfelser Steinwald Zoigl

Schlossbrauerei Friedenfels - Friedenfelser Steinwald Zoigl

  • Style: Zoiglbier
  • ABV: 4.8%
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Stange, Pilsner Glass, Mug
  • Country: Germany

Zoiglbier is closely related to the fellow Bavarian lager styles of Kellerbier and Zwickelbier. It’s a specialty of the Oberpfalz region, with a history which goes way, way back. The term “zoigl” is derived from the word for “sign” in the local dialect, and it refers to a six-pointed star formed from interlocking triangles (much like a Star of David) which symbolizes the trio of beer ingredients, barley, hops, and water, as well as the trio...

Garage Series: Maitrise

Fulton Brewing Company - Garage Series: Maitrise

Fulton Brewing Company - Garage Series: Maitrise

  • Style: Imperial Farmhouse Ale w/ Nelson Sauvin hops
  • ABV: 9.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 52–59° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Chalice or Chardonnay Glass
  • Country: United States

Fulton’s delicious Maitrise, in their limited-release Garage Series, is a seasonal offering that is only available once each year, with very limited Minnesota and Wisconsin distribution (plus a wee corner of North Dakota). Fewer than 250 cases are expected to be available outside of those snagged up by Rare Beer Club members. We were grateful to get enough of this one! This pours a beautiful, bright honeyed-orange color that glowed in our...

9 Ladies Dancing

The Bruery - 9 Ladies Dancing

The Bruery - 9 Ladies Dancing

  • Style: Strong Ale w/ Cacao Nibs, Vanilla, Coffee & Lactose
  • ABV: 11.3
  • Serving Temperature: 48–55° F (The Bruery suggests 50° F)
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Small Nonic, or Pinot Glass
  • Country: United States

This latest release in The Bruery’s “Twelve Days of Christmas” Series is one of our favorites, an 11.3%-ABV, one-time offer that finds its inspiration in tiramisu. The special ingredients in the 9 Ladies Dancing release include cacao nibs and coffee, vanilla and lactose—but the result is a lively, fruit-forward release that’s hugely drinkable fresh, though built to age very gracefully. At no point does this one feel overly weighty, despite...
