Spencer Brewery - Spencer Trappist Ale

  • Style: Belgian Pale Ale
  • Alcohol by Volume: 6.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 24.5
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter
  • Hops: Nugget, Willamette
  • Malts: 2-Row Pilsner, Caramunich
  • Country: United States

Bright, coppery-golden in hue with a cap of off-white foam, this Belgian Pale Ale was inspired by the everyday-drinking, sessionable, table beers known as "patersbier" (fathers' beer) common at brewing monasteries for consumption by the monks themselves. On the nose, you'll immediately detect the classically Belgian clove-like phenolic notes that these beers are known for, bolstered by a dollop of herbal-earthy-spicy hops. On the palate...

Fish Brewing Company - Mudshark Porter

  • Style: American Porter
  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 36
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Apollo, Cascade
  • Malts: Pale Ale Malt, C40, C75, Brown, Black, Chocolate, Munich
  • Country: United States

Very dark brown in the glass with deep garnet flashes and a cap of light brown foam, Mudshark offers a rich looking appearance. But, at just over 5% ABV, it's quite a sessionable brew, which is a good thing since after our first glass we wanted to follow with another straight away. On the nose, roasty notes of dark chocolate with hints of coffee meet a delicate floral hop overtone. Look for these characteristics to expand in the flavor with...

Spencer Brewery - Spencer Festive Lager

  • Style: Strong Vienna Lager
  • Alcohol by Volume: 7.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 36
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Flute, Pilsner, Stange
  • Hops: 2-Row Pilsner, Smoked, Vienna, Carapils
  • Malts: Perle, Willamette
  • Country: United States

Pouring a deep amber, approaching brown, and topped with plenty of foam, Festive Lager offers up a complex and inviting aroma profile. Look for mild to moderate caramel undertones, with fruity notes reminiscent of apples and stone fruits. Hops offer a lightly floral note with a touch of almost woody earthiness. Flavorwise, there's a core of rich caramelization and those aforementioned fruity notes. Interestingly, smoked malt is used during...

Fish Brewing Company - Vicious Circle Amber Ale

  • Style: American Amber/Red Ale
  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 40
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Herkules, Cascade
  • Malts: Pale Ale Malt, Munich, Aromatic, C75, C120, Honey Malt
  • Country: United States

Presenting a rich, deep amber-red capped by a head of beige foam that laces nicely as it receds, Vicious Circle drew us in right away. We found a nice balance between malt and hops in the aroma; look for esters of red fruits to merge with bright floral and citric hop notes, all atop a base of toast, caramel, and a hint of toffee. The balance continues in the flavor where rich caramel, moderate toasty, and light nutty notes form a core structure...

  • Style: American IPA

  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Pint Glass
  • Hops: Perle, Cascade, Apollo
  • Malts: 2-Row Pilsen, Carapils, Acidulated
  • Country: United States

Behold the world's first Trappist IPA! Not content to only brew traditional abbey ale and European styles, the brothers at Spencer have decided to indulge our American palates with a bold IPA, and we think the world is a better place for it. Bright golden in the glass with a very long-lasting cap of fluffy and well-lacing foam, this IPA looks great as it offers up its big, hoppy aroma profile. Look for prominent juicy citrus notes conjuring...

Fish Brewing Company - Hodgson's Bitter End IPA

  • Style: American IPA
  • Alcohol by Volume: 6.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 71
  • Serving Temperature: 48-53° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Tulip
  • Hops: Columbus, Galena, Citra, Mosaic
  • Malts: Pale Ale Malt, C40, C75
  • Country: United States

We suspect this brew is named in honor of William Hope Hodgson, an English author of fictional stories, many of which were set on the sea and invoked the many horrors of that setting, both real and fantastic. He was struck directly by an artillery shell in WWI in 1918 – a bitter end, indeed. His namesake IPA pours a lightly hazy medium amber-copper color, topped by plenty of foam which laces the glass as you drain it. On the nose, we picked up...

Fish Brewing Company - Full Blast Summer Ale

  • Style: Session IPA
  • Alcohol by Volume: 4.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 58
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Apollo, Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo, Sorachi Ace, Simcoe, Eureka!, Ekuanot
  • Malts: Pale Ale Malt, Flaked Barley, Flaked Rye, Rye Malt
  • Country: United States

This Session IPA is Fish Brewing's summer seasonal, and we think they might want to consider it for their year-round line-up. Full Blast presents a bright golden-copper color in the glass, capped by a sticky head of foam. But we could smell this brew even before the pour, as it offered up a complex array of hoppy aromas. Look for bold, exotic spices melded into an equally bold set of fruity notes including mango, pineapple, and other tropical...

  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 20
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Stange
  • Country: Italy

Pouring a golden amber hue with good clarity and a cap of off-white foam, this Italian version of Vienna Lager certainly looks the part. In the aroma, look for prominent undertones of caramel and fresh biscuit overlaid with a grassy and earthy European noble hop impression. Flavorwise, the caramelized malts are pretty rich, accompanied by biscuit and light bread crust character. There's a decent dollop of residual sweetness here too, which...

Birrificio Antoniano - Birra Antoniana Marechiaro

  • Style: Pale Lager
  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 19
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Stange
  • Country: Italy

This pale lager is part of Birrificio Antoniano's Panorama line, and takes its inspiration from Naples; in fact, it was designed as a celebration of the city and its gustatory delights. Specifically, the beer was developed in collaboration with the "Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana" to be the perfect pairing for authentic Neapolitan pizza. Marechiaro presents a bright golden color with crystal clarity and a crisp, white cap of foam. The...

  • Alcohol by Volume: 8.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 48–55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, or Pinot Glass
  • Country: United States

Brau Brother’s Village Tart seemed like the ideal counterpoint for our other featured pick in the Rare Beer Club this month. Where Alesong’s Raspberry Gose is an especially plush and fruit-forward rendition in sour space, Village Tart presents compelling visions of the more savory side of things. The used oak barrels referenced on the label are whiskey barrels—and that spirit character is integrated into this beer in a way we found surprising...

  • Alcohol by Volume: 5.2%
  • Serving Temperature: 48–55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Lambic Tumbler or Pinot Glass
  • Country: United States

This is the very first release of Alesong’s Raspberry Gose, and we’re thrilled the team over at the brewery worked with us to make this one a Rare Beer Club exclusive. Aside from a little bit being held back for their tasting room, the bulk of the entire batch has been allocated for our thirsty RBC members. We’ve been fans of Matt Van Wyk’s beer for over a decade, from back when he was making award-winning beers at Flossmoor Station. The...
