Boris the Spider

Spider Bite Beer Company - Boris the Spider

Spider Bite Beer Company - Boris the Spider

  • Style: Russian Imperial Stout
  • ABV: 11.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 38
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
  • Hops: Millennium
  • Malts: 2-Row, Baird Chocolate, Munich, Pale Chocolate, Midnight Wheat, Roast Barley
  • Country: United States

Ah, nothing like an imperial stout to warm one's bones as colder weather approaches. This big stout from Spider Bite pours an opaque black topped with a very rich, dark brown head. On the nose, look for a complex aroma; the hops and big malt bill combine to produce luscious chocolate notes – giving impressions of both dark and milk varieties – plus coffee, baking spices, deep caramel & toffee, and touches of scorched toast. As we took a sip...

Sky High Rye

Arcadia Brewing Company - Sky High Rye

Arcadia Brewing Company - Sky High Rye

  • Style: Rye Pale Ale
  • ABV: 6.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 60
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute, or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Summit, Centennial, Simcoe
  • Malts: Pilsner, Rye, Wheat
  • Country: United States

We like rye beers. There's something about the subtle spicy, and sometimes fruity, character of the grain that adds a nice, subtle extra dimension to a brew. This rye pale ale from Arcadia presents a bright golden hue with a tight cap of foam that laces well as it drops. We had a bit of yeast sediment in our bottles that we swirled up and included in our pour. In the aroma department, we got a very floral character with additional notes of...

First Bite Pale Ale

Spider Bite Beer Company - First Bite Pale Ale

Spider Bite Beer Company - First Bite Pale Ale

  • Style: American Pale Ale
  • ABV: 6.2%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
  • Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
  • Hops: Cascade, Columbus, Chinook
  • Malts: 2-Row, Vienna
  • Country: United States

This pale ale was the first beer the Spider Bite guys brewed together, hence the name, First Bite. A rich and hazy reddish-orange hue brightens our glasses on the pour, topped with a nicely lacing cap of foam. We picked up big citrus notes in the aroma, along with pine and some herbal spice character. The malts make an appearance here, too, with a noticeable undertone of caramel and light toast. These aromas translate well to the flavor...

Cheap Date

Arcadia Brewing Company - Cheap Date

Arcadia Brewing Company - Cheap Date

  • Style: Session Pale Ale
  • ABV: 4.5%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 30
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute, or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Citra, Simcoe, Melon
  • Malts: Pilsner
  • Country: United States

This session ale from Arcadia pours a lightly hazy, pale straw color topped with a voluminous cap of white foam. It's well-carbonated, so pour gently and perhaps choose a tall glass to accommodate the head. On the nose, we picked up some intriguing touches of berry, leaning towards strawberries, as well as melon-like overtones. Additionally, look for some inviting tropical fruit notes with a touch of lemony citrus. On the palate, pils malt...

Rapunzel

Arcadia Brewing Company - Rapunzel

Arcadia Brewing Company - Rapunzel

  • Style: Wheat IPA
  • ABV: 5.8%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 65
  • Serving Temperature: 43-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Pilsner Glass, or Weizen Glass
  • Hops: Michigan-grown Chinook, Summit, Amarillo
  • Malts: Pale, Wheat
  • Country: United States

With Rapunzel, Arcadia set out to craft a wheat IPA that would deliver the delicious juicy hoppiness of an American-style IPA along with the light and somewhat tangy character of a wheat ale. They also integrate Michigan-grown hops, and we salute the use of local ingredients! This golden brew presents nicely in the glass with plenty of foam that laces well as one drains the glass. In traditional wheat ale form, our bottles had a decent dollop...

Hopmouth

Arcadia Brewing Company - Hopmouth

Arcadia Brewing Company - Hopmouth

  • Style: Double IPA
  • ABV: 8.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 59
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
  • Hops: Maris Otter, Crystal, Caramel, Chocolate
  • Malts: Cascade, Columbus, Centennial
  • Country: United States

This double IPA offers a rich and hazy reddish-amber hue topped by a khaki head that recedes slowly to a persistent collar. For this beer, Arcadia employs the famous "Three Cs" – Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial hops – delivering a quintessentially American hop character. Look for a floral impression similar to citrus blossoms, along with orange peel and other citrus notes, plus notes of pine and some spicy and earthy undertones. These...

Primátor Maibock

Primátor A.S. - Primátor Maibock

Primátor A.S. - Primátor Maibock

  • Style: Maibock
  • ABV: 7.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Flute, Pilsner Glass, Stange
  • Country: Czech Republic

“What’s a maibock?” you ask. Also commonly known as a Helles Bock, it’s a variant of bock that’s lighter in color and generally a bit more assertive in the hop department. On the pour, Primátor Maibock presents a rich golden color with a sizeable off-white head that leaves some foam clinging to the glass as you drain it. We found the malty aromas to be pretty big on this one while the hop aromas took a bit of a back seat; expect a prominent...

Primátor A.S. - Primátor IPA

  • Style: IPA
  • ABV: 6.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Wide Flute
  • Country: Czech Republic

It's not every day that one crosses paths with a Czech IPA, so we were certainly intrigued when sampling this brew. Pouring a lightly hazy orange-amber color with a robust head of very persistent off-white foam (which laces well when it finally settles), it definitely looks attractive in the glass. For this beer, Primátor has developed a proprietary blend of seven different hop varieties from around the world to create a complex and unusual...

The Bruery - 10 Lords-A-Leaping

  • Style: Dark Imperial Wit Ale w/ Ten Different Spices
  • ABV: 10.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 48–55° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Chalice, Snifter or Pinot Glass
  • Country: United States

We’re excited to get this latest release in The Bruery’s “The Twelve Days of Christmas” out to our Rare Beer Club members, as it’s one of our favorites in the series so far. A full-bodied dark imperial wit, it’s brewed with a mellow assortment of 10 different spices to celebrate its position in the lineup: allspice, anise, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, dried apples, ginger, mace, nutmeg and orange peel. For the lengthy list, the overall impact...

Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales - L’épouvantail Noir

  • Style: Oak-Aged Saison w/ Pumpkin & Blackberries
  • ABV: 6.9%
  • Serving Temperature: 45–54° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Goblet or Pinot Glass
  • Country: United States

We’re excited to be able to offer this release from the folks at Jolly Pumpkin as a Rare Beer Club exclusive. L’épouvantail Noir, an oaked saison with blackberries and pumpkin, is being made especially for our club members and will only be available through The Rare Beer Club and the brewery’s tasting room. We’ve had a longstanding friendship with the folks at Jolly Pumpkin, and we’re grateful for the spirited and delicious beers they’ve...
