- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Weizen Glass
- Hops: Huell Melon
- Malts: Pilsner, Wheat
- Country: United States
This Bavarian-style weissbier presents a moderately hazy golden-orange capped by a large head of off-white foam from this unfiltered beer’s true-to-style robust carbonation. On the nose, Sudwerk’s very active German weissbier yeast strain has delivered plenty of the traditional notes we look for in this iconic Bavarian style, including bubblegum, banana, and lightly spicy clove-like phenols, joined by touches of lemony citrus from the hops. Look...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Oktoberfest/Märzen
- ABV: 5.6%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 24
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Seidel, Stein, Pilsner Glass, Flute
- Hops: Hallertau Magnum, Hallertau Mittelfrüh
- Malts: Silo Malt, Munich
- Country: United States
Ellicottville’s Fall Festival is brewed as a märzen, the style made famous by Bavaria’s Oktoberfest. This brew presents a rich medium amber hue with good clarity, topped by a plentiful cap of lasting beige foam. In the aroma, look for an underpinning of Munich malt to deliver a pleasant dose of toastiness and caramelization, overlaid with classic spicy, herbal, woody, and grassy notes from the use of Bavarian Hallertau noble hop varieties. On...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Bohemian-style Pilsner
- ABV: 5.3%

- Serving Temperature: 40-45º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass

- Malts: Pilsner, Acidulated
- Country: United States
Winner of multiple GABF medals including the gold medal for Bohemian Pilsner in both 2021 and 2022, The People’s Pilsner pours a bright golden color with good clarity and a robust cap of foam. Look for traditional noble hop aromas to offer grassy-herbal and spicy notes backed up by subtle but bright touches of citrus, all overlaid on a lightly malty bed of mild breadiness. That malty note forms a sturdy center on the palate with a tasty crackery...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Spiced Blonde Ale with Pumpkin
- ABV: 6.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 16
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Tulip
- Hops: Calypso
- Malts: Silo Malt, Cara 45, White Wheat
- Country: United States
Named after a well-known pumpkin farm not far from Ellicottville, Pumpkinville is produced with spices and locally harvested pumpkins, and pours an orangish-amber color with a cap of light beige foam. Now, some pumpkin ales are a bit subtle for our liking; this one is not. Big pumpkin spice aromas are obvious right away – in fact, if we smelled this blindfolded, we’d have pegged this as pie, gingersnap cookies, or some such. It’s quite a...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: IPA (New England-style)
- ABV: 7.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 75
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Tulip
- Hops: Sabro, Cascade, Hallertauer Magnum, Hallertauer Blanc
- Malts: Silo Malt, Cara 45, White Wheat, Oat Flakes
- Country: United States
Ellicottville’s Mimosa pours a pale golden color with a slight haze and a fleeting head of off-white foam. One the nose, look for strong notes of grapefruit to come forth thanks to dry-hopping with lots of Hallertau Blanc, plus orange thanks to plentiful Sabro. On the palate, we enjoyed the mouthfeel, which comes across bold and invigorating with bubbles dancing on the tongue like an actual mimosa. Expect the taste to start with a burst of...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: IPA (New England-style)
- ABV: 6.3%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 103
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Tulip
- Hops: Simcoe, Mosaic
- Malts: Silo Malt, Cara 45, White Wheat, Rye
- Country: United States
This unfiltered hazy IPA certainly presents as we would expect, with a dense-looking deep orange hue capped by a giant head of off-white foam that retains well before lacing our glasses and dropping to a persistent ring. On the nose, we picked up big and juicy tropical fruits upfront, along with touches of citrus, stone fruits, melon, wisps of berry, some floral overtones, a dash of pine... it’s as multifaceted as we’d expect from a Mosaic and...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: Festbier
- ABV: 5.8%
- Serving Temperature: 42-47° F
- Suggested Glassware: Willi Becher, Mug, Stein, Pint Glass
- Country: Germany
Traditionally brewed in March (März), Märzen, the original Oktoberfest beer style, was brewed with more malt than usual (which yields more fermentable sugars, which in turn yields more alcohol) in order to beef the beer up to survive storage through the summer months when it was generally too hot to brew. Since the 1990s, the beer commonly served at Oktoberfest has been the somewhat lighter style known as Festbier. Tucher’s version presents...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: Dunkelweizen
- ABV: 5.2%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Weizen Glass
- Country: Germany
Tucher’s interpretation of dunkelweizen presents a medium to dark brown color that’s quite hazy – per the unfiltered and naturally cloudy (naturtrüb) style – topped by a voluminous head of foam which is also expected with authentic Bavarian wheat beers, which are always well carbonated. This style of hefeweizen/weissbier incorporates darker toasted malts compared to a standard hefeweizen, hence the color. The aroma also differs, keeping the...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Belgian Abbey Quadrupel Ale
- ABV: 11%
- Serving Temperature: 45–52° F
- Suggested Glassware: Chalice, Goblet, Tulip, or Snifter Glass
- Country: Belgium
Alongside our other featured beer this month, we’re excited to offer this very rare Belgian quadrupel from Brasserie St-Feuillien to our Rare Beer Club members. With less than a few dozen cases imported each year in 750ml bottles, this is a unique opportunity to obtain and cellar, if so desired, an outstanding Belgian Abbey Quadrupel Ale. This dark quad ale showcases a complex range of subtle spices, with hints of juniper berries, cloves...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Belgian Tripel-Style Ale
- ABV: 9%
- Serving Temperature: 42-48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Goblet, or Chalice
- Country: United States
We’re excited to have another Sudwerk release as one of our two featured beers this month, and some of our longstanding club members might recall Fünke Hop Farm from 2015 and Microfauna around four years ago. These were both quite surprising beers that we’ve had in recent memory, made all the more interesting as these were from a period where Sudwerk stepped slightly away from focusing on German-style lagers. This month we’ll continue the...
