Spencer Brewery - Trappist Ale

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: Belgian Pale Ale
  • ABV: 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 and 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..

Christian Moerlein Brewing Company - Barbarossa

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: Munich-style Dunkel
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 35
  • Serving Temperature: 47-52º F
  • Suggested Glassware: Mug, Stein or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Hersbrucker, German Magnum
  • Malts: Pilsner, Munich, Dark Munich
  • Country: United States

Pouring a dark, ruddy brown color with a well-retained head of tan foam, this Munich-style dunkel looks quite inviting in the glass. On the nose, look for notes of toasted crackers and fresh bread dough, caramel with some brown sugar-like tones, a bit of coffee, and supporting hints of fig-like fruit and a touch of rum. We found the palate presented a more caramelly, chocolaty, and roasty character than the aroma suggested, with some dark...

Spencer Brewery - Premium Pilsner

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: German Pilsner
  • ABV: 4.7%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 41.5
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass
  • Hops: Perle, Hersbrucker
  • Malts: Pilsner
  • Country: United States

This German-style pilsner pours a golden-straw color capped by a robust and lasting head of crisp white foam that laces nicely as it slowly drops to a persistent collar. In the aroma, look for prominent earthy hop tones with touches of lemon zest and a coriander-like spice note. These notes come through with prominence in the flavor, as well, as this well-hopped pils delivers a nice finishing bite that works nicely in concert with the characteristically...

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: American IPA
  • ABV: 6.4%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 55
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
  • Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Apollo, Exp 07270, Chinook, CTZ
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Munich, White Wheat, Carapils, Flaked Oats
  • Country: United States

Pouring a copper-amber color, this IPA looks great in the glass with a generous cap of pale foam that retains and laces well. We picked up lots of resinous piney notes in the aroma, along with floral, citrus, and tropical fruit character and plenty of caramel undertones. On the palate, look for a robust backbone of bready pale and caramelized malts which does a good job of standing up to and providing structure for the firm hop bitterness. We...

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: American IPA
  • ABV: 6.49%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 58
  • Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
  • Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass or Pint Glass
  • Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo, Simcoe
  • Malts: 2-Row, specialty malts
  • Country: United States

Pouring a lightly hazy golden-copper color with a head of light tan foam, this IPA from Spencer looks good in the glass and smells good in the aroma department too. The olfactory impact is quite juicy and floral, with citrus, some tropical fruit flourishes, and a dose of pine. On the palate, expect a brightly hopped brew with a bold perceived bitterness carrying plenty of citrus zest and a resinous, herbal, pine character. The malt backbone...

  • Bottle Size: 12-oz
  • Style: American IPA
  • ABV: 7.0%
  • Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 80
  • Serving Temperature: 45-52º F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, IPA Glass
  • Hops: Cascade, Centennial, Celeia, Amarillo
  • Malts: 2-Row Pale, Cara Red, Crisp Amber, Black Wheat
  • Country: United States

With Red Hop Mess, the brewers at Christian Moerlein set out to create a beer that would embody both an amber ale and an IPA, and we think they succeeded well. We've always been partial to well-hopped amber ales, and this sure fits the bill, but given the extent of the hop character and the big bitterness level, we're going to think of it more as an IPA. Pouring a reddish-amber color with a fluffy head of off-white foam, this brew offers up...

  • Bottle Size: 500-ml
  • Style: Witbier
  • ABV: 5.5%
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip
  • Country: Belgium

Known as witbier, or "white beer," due to the cloudy nature of this type of unfiltered wheat beer, this style is similar in some ways to another unfiltered, yeasty "white beer" – Bavarian weissbier, or hefeweizen. The Belgians brew their white beer differently, though, choosing to augment the natural herbal flavors with a dose of coriander and orange peel. Het Nest's entry into the style, Poker Face, certainly looks the part, presenting a very...

Würzburger Hofbräu - Würzburger Pilsner

  • Bottle Size: 330-ml
  • Style: German Pilsner
  • ABV: 5.0%
  • Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass
  • Country: Germany

Pilsners are often not given enough respect because of the horrendously cheap imitations that have spread throughout the world like some kind of plague of poor taste. The Würzburger Pilsner, however, is an example of exactly how the style is supposed to be done. In fact, we feel this German-style pils (there are Czech-style pilsners as well) is a great example of why the style became so popular in the first place. On the pour, look for a fairly...

  • ABV: 6.5%
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Teku, or Chardonnay Glass
  • Country: United States

As one of two exclusive Rare Beer Club options this month, we’re pleased to offer members the first taste of Dovetail Vignette—the brewery’s inaugural take on a Belgian gueuze. Made with a turbid mash and spontaneously fermented in the brewery’s custom coolship—using local wild yeasts native to Chicago, for an entirely unique fermentation profile—Vignette’s a blend of ten specially selected barrels from the brewery’s first three years in...

  • Style: Barrel-Aged Dry-Hopped Saison
  • ABV: 6.7%
  • Serving Temperature: 45–52° F
  • Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Teku or Chardonnay Glass
  • Country: United States

One of our featured beers this month is an exclusive release from Yazoo Brewing Co., made special for our Rare Beer Club members. Monteur de Houblon is a barrel-aged, dry-hopped saison that features a higher-hopped version of the brewery’s saison as its base, aged for 10-ish months in neutral white oak barrels that had previously held the brewery’s grisette. This beer uses Tennessee oats and wheat (from north of Nashville), and has a bit of the...
