Jamaica Red Ale

Mad River Brewing Company - Jamaica Red Ale

Mad River Brewing Company - Jamaica Red Ale

  • Style: American Amber/Red Ale
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45.3
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Chinook, Cascade, Willamette, Summit, Columbus
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Crystal 70/80, Wheat, Black Patent
  • Country: United States

This classic from Mad River's line-up (and 2011 GABF Silver Medalist) presents an unfiltered, deep, rich, reddish color capped by a big fluffy head that descends to a thick collar which drops plenty of lacing. Caramel malt aromas spring forth, overlaid by hop notes of sweet, candied citrus fruits. On the palate, one may have a hard time deciding if the malts or hops ultimately win out; the malt-hop interplay is impressive, creating huge...

Copperhead Ale

Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company - Copperhead Ale

Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company - Copperhead Ale

  • Style: American Amber/Red Ale
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 25.5
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Stange or Mug
  • Hops: Bravo, Select, Tradition
  • Malts: 2-Row, CaraMunich II & III, Pale Wheat
  • Country: United States

Fordham currently calls this an American amber ale (which is a very broad category), but we think its prior designation as an altbier is also apt. While Germany is known for lager beer, altbier is an older ale style hailing from Düsseldorf. The beer receives lengthy conditioning, helping smooth the beer out and delivering an almost lager-like finish. In any case, Copperhead is very different from Mad River's Jamaica Red Ale, illustrating...

River Days Session IPA

Mad River Brewing Company - River Days Session IPA

Mad River Brewing Company - River Days Session IPA

  • Style: Session IPA
  • ABV: 4.8%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 49.4
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Chinook, Cascade, Columbus, Willamette
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Carastan 30/37, Crystal 70/80
  • Country: United States

With a gleaming copper hue and plenty of fluffy foam, River Days' appearance is almost as inviting as its impressive aroma. We picked up lots of citrus tones including candied orange, tangerine, and lemon, along with considerable floral and herbal notes, hints of exotic spice, and a wisp of cannabis following a good swirl. On the palate, expect a good backbone of lightly toasty and caramelized malts to help support those delicious hops ...

Gypsy Lager

Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company - Gypsy Lager

Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company - Gypsy Lager

  • Style: Helles Lager
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 18.5
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Flute
  • Hops: US Perle, Tradition
  • Malts: 2-Row, Munich I, CaraFoam, Vienna
  • Country: United States

Pouring a bright golden color with good clarity and crisp white foam, this classic Munich-style Helles (meaning "pale" or "bright") Lager is very much in line with the authentic examples one finds around Bavaria. Look for traditional noble hop aromas including grassy and floral notes along with mild lemon zest, all underpinned by clean malts offering hints of crackers and light caramel. On the palate, we enjoyed the fairly robust core of pale...

Slammin' Salmon

Mad River Brewing Company - Slammin' Salmon

Mad River Brewing Company - Slammin' Salmon

  • Style: Double IPA
  • ABV: 8.6%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 95.2
  • Serving Temperature: 47-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
  • Hops: Columbus, Brewer's Gold, Chinook, Cascade, Amarillo
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Carastan 30/37, Crystal 70/80, Wheat
  • Country: United States

Mad River is no stranger to producing excellent IPAs; their lineup includes an IPA, a session IPA, and a double IPA (Slammin' Salmon), plus a pretty well-hopped Red Ale – all featuring delicious Pacific NW hop varieties. Let's dig in to this big double IPA: Slammin' Salmon! This brew pours a medium amber-copper color topped with plenty of foam which persists well, helped by some wheat in the grain bill. On the nose, we picked up lots of floral...

Double D Double IPA

Fordham & Dominion Brewing Company - Double D Double IPA

  • Style: Double IPA
  • ABV: 8.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 90
  • Serving Temperature: 47-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
  • Hops: Columbus, Simcoe, Crystal, Zythos, Citra
  • Malts: 2-Row, Munich I, Chocolate Malt
  • Country: United States

Pouring a bright golden color with good clarity and crisp white foam, this classic Munich-style Helles (meaning "pale" or "bright") Lager is very much in line with the authentic examples one finds around Bavaria. Look for traditional noble hop aromas including grassy and floral notes along with mild lemon zest, all underpinned by clean malts offering hints of crackers and light caramel.

  • Style: American IPA

  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Chinook, Columbus, Cascade, Willamette

Edelstoff

Augustiner-Bräu - Edelstoff

Augustiner-Bräu - Edelstoff

  • Style: Helles Lager
  • ABV: 5.7%
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Flute
  • Country: Germany

Compared with Augustiner's Maximator, Edelstoff is decidedly towards the other end of the lager spectrum – a Munich-style Helles (meaning "pale" or "bright") Lager. It could also be considered a Dortmunder, a similar style of light German lager traditionally aimed at export markets. Pouring a golden-straw color with brilliant clarity and capped with bright white foam, Edelstoff offers up traditional European hop aromas which come across quite...

Maximator

Augustiner-Bräu - Maximator

Augustiner-Bräu - Maximator

  • Style: Doppelbock
  • ABV: 7.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Flute, or Pilsner Glass
  • Country: Germany

Maximator presents a deep brown color in the glass with ruby highlights and a cap of light brown foam. Richly malty on the nose, look for notes akin to toasty bread, lightly roasted nuts, caramel, and brown sugar, with some fruity undertones conjuring dried figs, as well as hints of cocoa powder, a touch of licorice, and a dash of earthy hops. German brewers employ the tricky and time-consuming decoction mash process which they often claim...

Space Ace Oddity

O’so Brewing Company - Space Ace Oddity

O’so Brewing Company - Space Ace Oddity

  • Bottle Size: 750-ml
  • Style: White IPA w/ Sorachi Ace, Nugget & Galaxy hops, Bottle-Conditioned w/ Brettanomyces
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 45–53° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Nonic, Tulip or IPA Glass
  • Country: United States

We do love exclusives. The first batch of this exceptional beer from our friends over at O’so Brewing Co. was released back in 2016, as a one-off tribute to David Bowie. And, somehow, we were able to convince them to rebrew Space Ace Oddity for a Rare Beer Club exclusive this month. O’so does a lot of complex sour beers as a key part of their operation, and Space Ace Oddity combines masterful Brettanomyces characteristics that join perfectly...

Imperial Oatmeal Stout

Oproer Brouwerij - Imperial Oatmeal Stout

Oproer Brouwerij - Imperial Oatmeal Stout

  • Style: Imperial Oatmeal Stout
  • ABV: 9.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 52–59° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Snifter, Tulip, Small Nonic or Pinot Glass
  • Country: Netherlands

We’re pleased to offer our Rare Beer Club members access to Oproer Brouwerij’s delicious Imperial Oatmeal Stout this month. This sees very slight distribution in the U.S., with about 50 cases sold over the past two years and most of 2017’s allocation going to Portland in draft form. This will be the first taste of Oproer’s beers for the vast majority of our members. But we’re pretty convinced that the smooth, plush feel of this one will mean...
