Healthy Spirits: New and Featured Products




NEW STUFF

 

1. CLASS OF ’88 SERIES   

 

The Class of ’88 Series celebrates the 25th Anniversaries of Deschutes, North Coast and Rogue while simultaneously paying homage to influential beer writer and historian Fred Eckhardt. Each brewery produced their own version of a barley wine based on Eckhardt’s description in his classic book The Essentials of Beer Style.

 

-Deschutes Class of ’88 is floral and fruity, with a sturdy, warming malt backbone and clean bitterness. Estery fruit flavors reminiscent of a Belgian strong golden ale. $9.99/22oz

 

-North Coast Class of ’88 is bracingly dry, with citrusy hop bitterness and a restrained cereal grain sweetness. $13.99/25oz

 

 2. Fuller’s Bengal Lancer India Pale Ale-Bready English malt and grassy, earthy Goldings hops. What more could you ask for? A classic English IPA. $4.99/16oz

 

3. 101 North Heroine India Pale Ale-The first bottled release from Sonoma’s newest employee owned and operated microbrewery! Resinous piny hop bitterness and toasted malts. $7.99/22oz

 

4. Boulevard Coffee Ale-Neighbors for nearly twenty years, Boulevard Brewing Company and The Roasterie share a passion for making extraordinary beverages. In Coffee Ale, our two celebrated brewing traditions come together in a long-awaited collaboration. Ethiopian Sidamo from Africa’s Great Rift Valley has been carefully blended with rye, oats, and malted barley, and spiced with Perle and Styrian Golding hops. The delightfully fragrant beer presents a glowing, tawny-amber hue. The clean, crisp acidity of the air-roasted coffee mingles with malt on the palate, lingering faintly in a subtly sweet finish. $10.99/25oz

 

5. Clown Shoes Blaecorn Unidragon Imperial Stout- Deep, rich notes of bittersweet chocolate and molasses meld seamlessly with flavors of dark fruit and vanilla. Rich, dense and decadent.$12.99/22oz

 

6. Alvinne Cuvee De Mortagne- This complex Belgian dark strong ale was aged for six months in used Pomerol wine barrels. Sweet, fruity and complex, with notes of red wine and raisins. $14.99/16oz
