Oskar Blues Mama Yella Pils

Oskar Blues’ newest beer is an uncompromising, small-batch version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czech Republic famous. Unlike mass market “pilsners” diluted with corn & rice, Mama’s is built with 100% pale malt, German specialty malts, and Bavarian hops. While it’s rich with Czeched-out flavor, its gentle hopping (35 IBUs) and low ABV (just 5.3%) make it a luxurious but low-dose (by Oskar Blues standards) refresher.Our first lager produced with the 20 bbl brewhouse. This pilsner is a clear golden color. Four additions of Saaz hops lend a spicy-floral hop component.It poured a clear gold color with a white head. The aroma was crisp grass, light pine and a bit of a sweet grain with some light floral backing. The taste started with floral and light bread notes with a growing crisp grass note as well as a hint of pine.

Victory Headwaters Pale Ale
Brewed by:

Victory Brewing Company
Pennsylvania, United States
Pours a clear copper orange color with a 2 finger very thick foamy beige head that faded very slowly, leaving good lacing.Smells of big hops up front, with floral hops, orange peel, citrus hops, grapefruit, caramel, sweet malt, grains, herbs and sweet candy or brown sugar; floral hops, citrus and sweetness dominate the nose and make this smell like an nice IPA. Tastes of floral hops, flowers, orange peel, lemon, citrus hops, grapefruit, grape or apple, caramel, sweet malt, grains, herbs, piney hops, wheat, brown sugar, coriander and bread or biscuit; the hops dominate most of the taste, but then give way to the sweet malts which adds nice balance and flavor. Mouthfeel is creamy and velvety smooth, with a medium body, very low carbonation and an easy smooth feel.

Oskar Blues HGH (Home Grown Hops) Strong Ale
HGH (Home Grown Hops) is an 8% ABV and 70 IBU Strong Ale juiced with hops locally grown at Oskar Blues Hops & Heifers Farm. Our home grown, high-potency, home run hitter is dry-hopped with Amarillo hops and then finished with a dose of Nugget and Centennial dry hopping. This farm raised strong ale injects more HGH than the 1998 home run race. Pours a medium, glassy amber with a pretty big off-white creamy head (about half bubbles and have solid froth). Leaves patchy, streaky lacing. Smell is medicinal and fruity hops. Palate is refreshing and delicious: grapefruit, hard butterscotch candy and then hop bitterness on the way down.

Smuttynose Old Brown Dog
Brewed by Smuttynose Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Portsmouth, New Hampshire USA
Old Brown Dog has been cited as a classic example of the "American Brown Ale" style of beer. Compared to a typical English Brown Ale, Old Brown Dog is fuller-bodied and more strongly hopped.Red-amber-brown with a pinkish-brown cream head the color of a dog’s nose. Simple caramel and melanoidin malt nose. The body is of brown malt and full of melanoidins, perhaps some Belgian Aromatic. Full malt ball taste entwined with caramel along with some alcohol palpable in the background.

Oskar Blues G’Night Imperial Red/Double IPA

G’Knight sports a surprisingly sensuous finish for a beer of its size (8.7% ABV, 60 IBUs). It’s brewed in tribute to a fellow Colorado craft beer pioneer and Vietnam vet who died fighting a 2002 wild fire outside of our Lyons hometown.Gordon is a dry-hopped hybrid strong ale somewhere between a Double IPA and and Imperial Amber Ale (IAA). Brewed in tribute to the late Gordon Knight, Gordon is brewed with massive amounts of American hops and features about 85 IBUs and 8.7% alcohol by volume. Once a winter seasonal, Gordon is now a year-round, limited-supply offering.Orange-red with small white head. Aroma is flowery, lemony, a little bread. Medium body, alcohol hidden and a touch of carbonation. Flavor is very good, not quite living up to the aroma though, dry but not overwhelmingly so and a bit of malt.

Southern Tier 2x IPA

Brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Company

Style: Imperial/Double IPA

Lakewood, New York USA

Not quite an imperial, but certainly not a standard India pale ale. Our double IPA is a hop lovers dream. Citrusy and clean with an incredible finish.

A: very clear, copper colored pour with some moderate head that quickly dissipates

S: piney aroma, some citrus

T: again very piney, significant amounts of orange, lemon, moderately bitter, somewhat grassy with a tinge of alcohol towards the end

M: crisp, not too resiny or thick

O: Definitely enjoy this DIPA, although a few can get to your head quickly...excellent flavor and good for those who want a beer with a strong, hoppy character

Stone Vertical Epic 11.11.11 Belgian Strong Ale

Brewed by Stone Brewing Co.Ale brewed with Anaheim chiles and cinnamon.Stone Vertical Epic 11.11.11 is a crystal clear ruby ale with a thin, light khaki head that leaves excellent lacing on the glass. The aroma is quite spicy, warm and... food-like. There are notes of cinnamon, clove, apple, pear and vegetables. There seems to be a touch of sweetness in the nose. It’s pretty full bodied and lively. It leaves the mouth feeling slick for a while. There’s a lot going on in the taste. Overall, it’s pretty earthy and fruity.

Oskar Blues Smiddy Stout

Pours black with a thin, beige head. The aroma is coffee, caramel, and roasted malts, with notes of orange peels, cardamon, biscuit, and a lot of funky esters. The flavor is roasty and sweet, with a tartness in the finish. The palate is light to medium, astringent, and sticky.

Six Point Sweet Action Cream Ale
Six Point Sweet Action Cream Ale is brewed by:Sixpoint,New York, United States
Style | ABV
Cream Ale | 5.20% ABV
Off white to approaching egg shell color head. Red orange center with yellow and gold in the edges. Some noticeable carbonation but doesn't seem to be crazy.Pine, floral, bready malt and a peppery spice at the end of the whiff.Much like the aroma the taste is more pronounced. Get the pine, citrus, then the floral meets a peppery spice and a bready malt to balance it all out. Not bad at all.Light carbonation is noticeable on the tongue but works well. Light body, a little watery and very easy going down. It leaves the mouth feeling a little dry.Refreshing and this could be considered a summer beer. It wouldn't really call this Sweet Action; it's not crazy sweet get more of a balanced bitterness by the malt. It's worth a shot.Serving type: can

Victory Summer Love Ale
Brewed locally at the Victory Brewery in Chester County, the Summer of Love Ale is a golden ale made with pale malts, German hops and Brandywine River water. This specific style of beer was chosen because it has a broad appeal and will be accessible for casual beer drinkers, but will still retain exciting hop notes.The brew has a vibrant and refreshing pale color derived from its lean and refreshing malt body. And the initially floral aroma of hops segues into a well integrated, refreshing hop dryness of European heritage.Aroma: The nose is fairly malty and floral with some light citrus notes.The pour is a clear yellow color with a small white head and drippy lace.The taste is much like the nose, moderately sweet with a moderately bitter finish.The body is fairly light, it gets drier as it finishes, and drinks relatively smoothly.This is a solid beer, it is drinkable and quite seasonable.

Ommegang Hennepin Farmhouse Ale

Ommegang Hennepin Farmhouse Ale is Brewed by: Brewery Ommegang New York, United States
Style | ABV
Saison / Farmhouse Ale | 7.70% ABV
Appearance-Hazy yellow with a 4 finger white head, very bright. Not so good retention or lacing.Smell-Grainy and Grassy with some light citrus.Taste-Better then the aroma and a nice amount of grapefruit and some lemon citrus. Finish is sweet and tangy.Mouthfeel-Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Can pick up some light booze.Overall-Good beer,. A little too sweet on the finish to drink that much at once. Could use a little more hops. Still a good beer.

Green Flash West Coast IPA
This West Coast-Style India Pale Ale is extravagantly hopped, full flavored, medium bodied and copper colored. A menagerie of hops is combined throughout the brewing process to impart specific characteristics. Hops used include Simcoe for a unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.Pours a nice hazy orange/copper color with a frothy off white head. Aroma is very hoppy, with grapefruit, citrus, peach and tropcial fruit along with a small amount of sweet malts. Flavor is again super hoppy, with loads of grapefruit, some peach and the tropical fruit. Its a hop bomb for sure, with just a small amount of sweet malts in the taste. The body is medium with a dry mouthfeel. Overall a really nice American West Coast IPA!

Captain Lawrence St Vincent Dubbel Brown
Captain Lawrence St Vincent Dubbel Brown is a big, malty and rich Belgian-style abbey ale, combined both US- and Belgian-malted barley and a specially selected yeast strain to produce a truly unique beer. This beer was brewed as a thank-you to my father Vince who has helped to make this brewery a reality. It will be brewed once a year and released on Father’s Day. This is a great beer for aging, so lay some down and try it in a year or two! Sensory Profile: Ripe fruit, figs and chewy malt are a few of the flavors you will encounter in this beer. There is an underlying roastiness and caramel sweetness that comes through toward the end. Hops play a background role to the malt character of this brew. Food Pairing: This beer can stand on its own as an after-dinner drink. A rich brew to sip and enjoy, it also goes great with desert or roasted meats. Use this beer as you would a full-bodied cabernet or an aged port.Deep amber pour light beige head light lacing,sweet malty and dark fruity aroma,taste is of dark fruity yeast and caramel malts, little bitter hop and roasted malt with a malty and light bitter hop finish,an easy drinking dubbel not as smooth and rich as advertised or rated at least the abv is hidden well.

Ommegang BPA
Ommegang Belgian-style Pale Ale (BPA) a Belgian Ale beer by Brewery Ommegang (Moortgat), a brewery in Cooperstown, New York.This fine pale ale has citrus and tropical fruit aromatic shared with a well-balanced – yet abundant – hop character. It uses our own Belgian yeast, five malts, two hops, and plenty of patience. Finishing touches include dry-hopping with Cascade hops and warm-cellaring.Pours a nice hazy golden color with a lot of effervescent bubbling and an enormous tight rocky white head that leaves good lacing on the glass. The aroma is full of fruit, banana, melon, citrus, it’s a damn fruit of the month club up in my glass. There are some dank hop notes and a little touch of damp cellar in there as well. The flavor is this really great interplay between fruity esters, hop bitterness, & citrus hop flavor. The beer starts of with a sort of sweet note but it doesn’t take long before it dries out and the finish leaves you with almost a brut like sensation. The malt isn’t really hidden here, but it’s in the background. Mild notes of cracker and honey do wonders for the whole balance of the beer.

Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold Belgian Ale

Brewed by Captain Lawrence Brewing Company

Pleasantville, New York USA

Style: Belgian Ale

This beer is a full-flavored introduction to craft-brewed beer. We add the hops late in the boil, allowing you to enjoy the flavor and aroma of the hops without an aggressive bitterness.Aromas of orange, spice, and green grass. Clean malt-dominated flavor, with a subdued bitterness playing in the background of the aromas of this beer.A great match with fish and chicken, both sautéed and grilled, especially with citrus and herbs preparations. Shellfish steamed in Liquid Gold is a match made in beer heaven.Pours a light golden yellow color with about an inch and a half of head.

Unibroue Raftman

2011-03-22T11:32:00.000-07:00

Captain Lawrence Winter Rye

This is a onetime beer that we brewed using organic rye and crystal malt from our friends at Valley Malting Co in Massachusetts. www.ValleyMalt.com They are a micro maltster, one of only a handful in the county, and they are doing some cool stuff. Brewed with our German yeast stain and lightly dry hopped with US Goldings. 5.0% abv.

Southampton Biere De Mars

Southampton Biere De Mars is Traditional, French-style, spring beer which is fruity and smooth. It’s brewed by Southampton Publick House. The Southampton Biere de Mars is a lagered-ale—ale from the type of yeast, but lager from the cool fermenting process—which creates a really smooth, but rich body. The beer pours heavy, almost porter like, but it’s crisp on the palate. There’s a cidery sourness that just slightly puckering and the hops are complementary to the flavor of the wheat and barley malt. It’s a great beer, and one that I’d recommend to anyone who has been underwhelmed by other saisons. Southampton Biere de Mars has a fruity, spicy aroma and flavor with notes of pear and honey. Artfully crafted, it is amber ale with subtle complexity and a crisp finish.Alcohol Content is 6.5% by Volume.

Ithaca Ground Break Saison

Ground Break is our new spring seasonal… it’s an Americanized (hoppy) Saison. It’s brewed with generous amounts of Amarillo, Crystal and Glacier hops (none added during the boil by the way- only first wort, whirlpool and dry-hop additions) and flaked rye. It’s fermented with a blend of Dupont and Chico yeasts. Very dry, ample yeast character, and hoppy. We’ve brewed a couple of batches so far, and expect it to start showing up on draft first, then in 6-packs and our variety 12-pack in February. It’ll last until May or so when we start rolling out this year’s version of Partly Sunny, our summer Wit-style beer! This will show up everywhere that our seasonal brews and variety packs are found: NY, PA, CT, MA, RI, NJ and OH.

Stone Old Guardian Belgo Barley Wine
When our illustrious brewing team spiked a few barrels of the Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine with our Belgian yeast strain last year, we absolutely loved it. So much, in fact, that we knew we needed an excuse to make more. So, in our unending quest to constantly challenge the status quo (even our own), we came up with Odd Beers for Odd Years, a program to release odd beers – e.g. Stone Old Guardian BELGO Barley Wine – in odd years (2011, 2013, 2015…). It was met with a bit of resistance (to say the least) since we weren't originally offering the traditional Old Guardian alongside it, but we've mended our ways and decided to make both. You're welcome.

North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout

A rich, intense brew with a robust palate, a fruity nose and a warming finish. Very complex. This is a very dark brown/black, opaque beer. Dense, foamy 3-fingered tan head with good retention and all sorts of neat lacing on the glass. In a word, the aroma is strong. The most dominant thing on the notes are roasted chocolate malts ...and it's got a ton of them. Under that is a pretty potent coffee note, some fruity smells, and a bit of molasses.

Its rich, dark chocolate malt taste immediately hits you. Lots of coffee and a bit of milky sweetness in there too. The fruits that were present in the aroma are also present here to a lesser degree. Hops were much more present on the palate, and balanced out the flavor of this beer absolutely perfectly. A small, yet noticeable alcoholic aftertaste. One of the most balanced beers. The mouth feel is creamy and heavy yet smooth as silk. Fairly low in carbonation. About like drinking slightly carbonated milk. It's a filling beer, but very easy drinking.

Captain Lawrence Smoked Porter

A complex beer, with layers of flavors unfolding as this beer slides down your throat. Before the introduction of indirect-fired malt kilns, all beers had a smoky flavor. Today only a handful of brewers produce beer reminiscent of those of the past. We use imported German smoked malt to add depth and complexity to our Smoked Porter. Sensory Profile: Aromas of smoked wood, licorice, and dark fruit. The flavor is a balance of smokiness, roasted malt, coffee, and malty sweetness. Food Pairing: A natural match for any smoked or grilled meats. The smoky flavor of the meat and the unique smoky flavor of the beer blend beautifully to elevate the enjoyment of them both.

Empire Cream Ale

Our Cream Ale is carbonated with nitrogen so it cascades as it pours. This gives the beer an extremely smooth mouth feel. It is golden in color with a crisp hop flavor and aroma. After the standard nitro-waterfall effect that comes from the pour, the body Empire Cream Ale settles into a clear yellow color with a creamy white head. The lacing is of course very good. The aroma is bready and sweet, dominated by pilsner malt. The flavor, like the aroma, is dominated by the malt. A wave of sweet malt is followed by the bready pilsner malt. One thing the flavor has that the aroma lacks is a pretty good kick from the hops, which I enjoy. Mouth feel is big and smooth from the nitrogen. Empire made pretty good cream ale with this one; it certainly did not take long to get through.

Flying Dog Classic Pale Ale

Dry Hopped with a load of Cascade hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. Doggie Style has enough hop character to satisfy hop-heads, but isn’t overpoweringly hoppy. It’s brilliant amber-copper color and pleasant malt flavor comes from the addition of Carastan malts.

Magic Hat Odd Notion Hibiscus Red Rye Amber Ale

A red ale with a subtle spice and a slight zing from rye and Hibiscus petals.

Troegs Mad Elf

The combination of Cherries, Honey, and Chocolate Malts delivers gentle fruits and subtle spices. Fermented and aged with a unique yeast , this ruby red beer has significant warming strength that underlies the character of this Ale.

Southern Tier Imperial Oatmeal Stout

“brewed for the harvest” This beer begins in spring when oat seeds are sown as soon as the soil can be worked. Meanwhile, select types of barley are planted with hopes that Mother Nature will be kind. Our brewers wait patiently until the legumes are mature and ready for the scythe. Upon delivery to the brewery, these ingredients are mixed together in the mash tun where they steep, creating a rich molasses-like liquid. Spicy hops are boiled with the thick brew, giving balance and complexity. Brewers yeast feasts upon the rich sugars, concluding its transformation into oatmeal stout. Pour Oat into a snifter, allow its thick tan head to slowly rise, releasing unbridled aromas. The color of Oat is as dark as a moonless night. The first sip reveals Oat’s thick and nourishing taste. Like a haversack to a horse, a bottle of this stout is a meal in itself. Enjoy responsibly. 11.0% abv • 238º L

Pabst Blue Ribbon Pale Lager
Established in Milwaukee in 1844, this is the original Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Nature’s choicest products provide its prized flavor. Only the finest of hops and grains are used. Selected as America’s Best in 1893.

Oskar Blues Mama's Yella Pils
Our first lager produced with the 20 bbl brewhouse. This pilsner is a clear golden color. Four additions of Saaz hops lend a spicy-floral hop component.

Tröegs Dreamweaver
Long toasty days, cool breezy nights and a splash of magic provide the inspiration for the Troegs brothers’ dreamiest Single Batch creation—Dreamweaver Wheat. Combining four wheat types with Munich and Pils malts, noble Saaz hops, and a yeast strain that imparts a spicy, peppery, clove taste with a slight hint of bananas, Dreamweaver Wheat is an unfiltered blast of spicy, mouthwatering joy.

Tröegs Pale Ale
Tröegs Pale Ale is an American style Pale Ale that is aggressively hopped with Northwest Cascades and balanced with Belgian crystal malts to create a hoppy, copper-colored crisp ale. An excellent example of a classic American Pale Ale.'

Ommegang Hennepin
This hoppy, farmhouse style ale has a champagne like effervescence with a crisp but light on the tongue finish. Similar to the Belgian Saison style , this beer serves well as an aperitif. Hennepin has a majestic golden hue. The style is called Grisette or farm house and is considered to be in the domain of the Belgian Saisons.

Captain Lawrence Brown Bird Ale
Named after the little birds that fly by the brewery looking for grain after the weather turns cold, this was originally to be a Fall/Winter seasonal. Clearly we underestimated the market for this smooth and malty brown ale, and we have decided to keep it for year round enjoyment.
SENSORY PROFILE
Smooth and malty, with a subdued hop presence. This beer puts the emphasis on malt not hops.

Southern Tier Porter
Porter is our darkest beer, but not necessarily our strongest. It is widely held that the darker the beer the stronger the beer, but this is summarily false. The contribution of color comes directly from the color of malt that we use. Some malt is roasted to achieve dark color and coffee-like flavor, which in turn get transferred to the beer. Our Porter is richly complex with overtones of chocolate and espresso beans followed by a subtle flavor of hops. It’s a nourishing beer without being too sweet or filling.t

Anchor Humming
To commemorate an important milestone in Anchor Brewing’s long history, a special ale seemed appropriate.

Aroma is a nice balance of malt and acidic sourness and light cherry character. Very refreshing and not overly acidic. slightly hazy brownish red with a nice reddish brown, tightly beaded head. the sourness is not overly tart, very well balanced and pleasant slight malt sweetness provides some balance.

Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Jack & Kens Ale
Jack McAuliffe was the first American "micro" brewer. His tiny New Albion Brewery in Sonoma, California inspired countless dreamers to start small-scale breweries of their own. Jack agreed to guest brew this very special ale with us in honor of our 30th anniversary. This Black Barleywine Ale is a nod to the legendary ales New Albion served at their legendary summer solstice parties. Rich with bittersweet and roasted malt flavors, balanced with whole-cone American hops, this robust ale should age gracefully for years.

Captain Lawrence Captain's Reserve IPA
This beer is a salute to the ingenuity and creativity of the American craft brewers. A uniquely American style of beer, the Double or Imperial IPA, has become the calling card of many craft brewers who aren't afraid to push the limits of what hops can add to a beer. This beer is big and hoppy - not for the faint of heart! Be prepared to experience sensory overload as you savor this Imperial IPA. Sensory Profile: Hops, and lots of them. The aroma is bursting with the classic citrus and pine aroma of American-grown hops. The flavor is dominated by a hoppy bitterness, with just enough malt to make you want to take another sip. Food Pairing: This beer needs an assertive food to stand up to it. Match Captain's Reserve with aged cheeses such as Stilton, cured and grilled meats.

Stoudts Heifer-in-Wheat
This Bavarian-style unfiltered wheat beer is brewed with 50% malted barley and 50% malted wheat. Our signature blend of German yeast strain imparts a flavor and aroma reminiscent of bananas, cloves and bubblegum.

Anchor Summer Wheat Ale
Anchor Summer is the first American wheat beer in modern times. Our first brew of this light and refreshing beer was in the summer of 1984.

Anchor Summer is an all-malt beer, and over 50% of its malt comes from malted wheat. It is fermented with a Triticum aestivum, AKA wheat traditional top-fermenting "ale" yeast because we prefer the clean flavors developed by this yeast. We believe that this style best celebrates the refreshingly light flavor of malted wheat. You may notice that the head on this beer is unusually abundant, with a consistency similar to whipped egg whites. This is due to protein contributed by the wheat.

The brewers at Anchor are proud to have revived not only rich hearty dark beers, but also this light crisp style of a modern American wheat beer.

Wheat malt contributes to an unusual lightness and dryness to the palate, and this—combined with the distinctive flavor of the wheat—makes for a perfect thirst-quenching beverage. It is the ideal drink for beer lovers who appreciate tradition and character in their beer, but also seek a lighter, refreshing style, perfect for warm weather.

Flying Dog Pale Ale
Dry Hopped with a load of Cascade hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. Doggie Style has enough hop character to satisfy hop-heads, but isn’t overpoweringly hoppy. It’s brilliant amber-copper color and pleasant malt flavor comes from the addition of Carastan malts.

Flying Dog Pale Ale
Dry Hopped with a load of Cascade hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. Doggie Style has enough hop character to satisfy hop-heads, but isn’t overpoweringly hoppy. It’s brilliant amber-copper color and pleasant malt flavor comes from the addition of Carastan malts.

Ommegang Zuur
Aroma is a nice balance of malt and acidic sourness and light cherry character. Very refreshing and not overly acidic. slightly hazy brownish red with a nice reddish brown, tightly beaded head. the sourness is not overly tart, very well balanced and pleasant slight malt sweetness provides some balance.

Sixpoint Righteous
Cloudy amber brown with lacy white head. Aroma has lots of caramel and rye bready notes. Taste is earthy hoppy bitter in front of big rye bready backbone. Big and flavorful yet simple and refined. Dry finish. Really Good!

Ommegang Hennepin
This hoppy, farmhouse style ale has a champagne like effervescence with a crisp but light on the tongue finish. Similar to the Belgian Saison style , this beer serves well as an aperitif. Hennepin has a majestic golden hue. The style is called Grisette or farm house and is considered to be in the domain of the Belgian Saisons.

Ommegang Zuur
Aroma is a nice balance of malt and acidic sourness and light cherry character. Very refreshing and not overly acidic. slightly hazy brownish red with a nice reddish brown, tightly beaded head. the sourness is not overly tart, very well balanced and pleasant slight malt sweetness provides some balance.

Southern Tier 2X IPA
Not quite an imperial, but certainly not a standard India pale ale. Our double IPA is a hop lovers dream. Citrusy and clean with an incredible finish. April 15, 2010 was the first day for bottling our newest beer, 2XIPA. Phin DeMink declared it the best beer we've ever brewed! 2XIPA also has the distinction of being the first beer to be distributed in our newly designed packaging.

Oskar Blues Gubna Imperial IPA
Emphasizing that complexity of character can arise from simple elements, this ale is made with three malts and one hop. Its light amber color and slightly spicy malt character are derived from the use of German Dark Munich Malt and Rye Malt respectively. North American 2-row barley combines with the other grains to lay the foundation for the hop onslaught to come. Summit hops are used exclusively in the boil for bitterness, flavor and aroma but it doesn’t end there. Post-fermentation dry hopping allows the 10% ABV monstrosity to gently coax the citrus rind and grapefruit aroma to join the 100 IBUs already present. This beer should greet you with a pungent citrus blast, provide a spicy yet round middle and finish with a brisk, clean bitterness.

Pretty Things St. Botolph's Town
This Yorkshire-inspired beer is a big malty brown ale fermented in open squares with Yorkshire malts and eclectic yeast strains. This is another of our year-round offerings.

Keegan Ale Super Kitty
Pours a hazy dark amber with a small tan head. The nose is sweet caramel, fruit and spice. The taste is toffee, fruit, citrus hops with some hop bite in the finish. Alcohol finds its way to the mix at the very end. Medium bodied. Good stuff.

Ommegang Zuur
Aroma is a nice balance of malt and acidic sourness and light cherry character. Very refreshing and not overly acidic. slightly hazy brownish red with a nice reddish brown, tightly beaded head. the sourness is not overly tart, very well balanced and pleasant slight malt sweetness provides some balance.

Pale golden colored beer with a thick white head. The aroma is quite nice and spicy. There is a nice light sweetness as well as a big orangey sweetness. Some other light fruit can be detected here as well, such as a hint of strawberries as well as a bit of citrus. The flavor is quite nice as well. Light sweet Belgian malts and a fairly interesting yeasty fruitiness. There is a touch of pear, apricots and berries as well as a touch of light banana and clove. Very soft, fruity, and well-integrated.

Boulder Beer Mojo Risin
Only 120 precious barrels were brewed, adding more than half a ton of extra malt and twice the amount of Amarillo hops, so prepare your self for a full sensory explosion. The double dry-hop addition elevates the grapefruit-like aroma and flavor to an outrageous intensity, while the added malt raises the alcohol level from 7% all the way to 10% by volume.

The Bruery Rugbrod
Meaning "rye bread" in Danish, we took our inspiration for this beer from the Danes' staple dark, whole-grain rye bread. Brewed with three types of rye malt, this robust brown ale showcases the earthy, spicy character of the grain, complemented by bready, nutty barley malts and a hint of roast. Loosely based on the Scandinavian Christmas beer or "Julebryg" tradition, this beer is perfect for the colder weather of winter, although it will be available year-round (because who doesn't love a dark beer now and again, regardless of weather?) And don’t worry about the name, we can’t pronounce it either! But we do have a video of us and a lot of others trying our best at it. http://www.vimeo.com/7504797.

Abita Amber
Amber is a Munich style lager brewed with crystal malt and Perle hops. It has a smooth, malty, slightly caramel flavor and a rich amber color. Abita Amber was the first beer offered by the brewery and continues to be our leading seller. Amber is Abita’s most versatile beer for pairing with food. It has been voted "best beer" in numerous New Orleans reader polls and is used frequently in recipes of great Louisiana chefs.

Because of its smooth, malty flavor, try it with smoked sausages, Louisiana boudin, or even with caviar. It’s great with crawfish and Cajun food. You might also enjoy it paired with a spicy gumbo or tomato-based pasta sauce. It goes well also with fried catfish dipped in a tart, lemony tartar sauce. Parmesan, Pecorino and Romano cheeses are good pairings with Abita Amber.

Abita Turbodog
Turbodog is a dark brown ale brewed with Willamette hops and a combination of pale, crystal and chocolate malts. This combination gives Turbodog its rich body and color and a sweet chocolate toffee-like flavor. Turbodog began as a specialty ale but has gained a huge loyal following and has become one of our flagship brews.

This ale pairs well with most meats and is great served with hamburgers or sausages. It is a good match with smoked fish and can even stand up to wild game dishes. Turbodog is also great for marinating and braising meats and cooking such things as cabbage and greens. Colby, Gloucester, Cheddar and Blue cheeses go nicely with Turbodog. It’s perfect with spicy Louisiana jambalaya or Spanish paella. Some even like it paired with chocolate!

Abita Jockamo I.P.A.

This full-flavored beer is hopped and dry hopped liberally with Willamette and Columbus hops from the Pacific Northwest and has a 6.5% A.B.V. The spicy aroma of the hops contrasts nicely with the pleasant sweetness of the malts. Jockamo has a flavor that entices and excites the palate. The intense hop character adds more spice to the meal and makes it a perfect choice to team up with many spicy dishes. Cheddar and strong farmer cheeses stand up well to Jockamo’s hoppy character. Jockamo goes well with game, grilled meats and Thai, or Mexican cuisine.

Old Speckled Hen Pub Ale
"Old Speckled Hen" has a full, smooth flavour and is very easy to drink. Its rich amber colour and superb fruity aromas are complemented by a delicious blend of malty tastes.

Toffee and malt combine with bitterness on the back of the tongue to give a balanced sweetness. This is followed by a refreshingly dry finish.

"Old Speckled Hen" continues to be appreciated by more and more fans, who are discovering that this crafted English beer is perfect with friends, during a quiet moment of relaxation or as a complement to a meal.

Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold
Don't let the golden color fool you - this isn't your father's lite beer! Brewed with imported German malts and US-grown hops, this beer is a full-flavored introduction to craft-brewed beer. We add the hops late in the boil, allowing you to enjoy the flavor and aroma of the hops without an aggressive bitterness. Sensory Profile: Aromas of orange, spice, and green grass. Clean malt-dominated flavor, with a subdued bitterness playing in the background of the aromas of this beer. Food Pairing: A great match with fish and chicken, both sautéed and grilled, especially with citrus and herbs preparations. Shellfish steamed in Liquid Gold is a match made in beer heaven.

The Bruery Rugbrod
Meaning "rye bread" in Danish, we took our inspiration for this beer from the Danes' staple dark, whole-grain rye bread. Brewed with three types of rye malt, this robust brown ale showcases the earthy, spicy character of the grain, complemented by bready, nutty barley malts and a hint of roast. Loosely based on the Scandinavian Christmas beer or "Julebryg" tradition, this beer is perfect for the colder weather of winter, although it will be available year-round (because who doesn't love a dark beer now and again, regardless of weather?) And don’t worry about the name, we can’t pronounce it either! But we do have a video of us and a lot of others trying our best at it. http://www.vimeo.com/7504797.

O'Hara's Celtic Stout
Full bodied and luxuriously smooth it is the combination of traditional stout hops, an extra pinch of roast barley and crystal clear Irish water that make O’Hara’s Celtic Stout a delicious stout with just enough malt sweetness to balance that discernible roast bite.   International brewing experts are not alone in their praise of O’Hara’s, Irish food and drink critics have also passed very favourable comment on O’Hara’s.

"At a time when Guinness now produces a drink that puts one in mind of what Americans call popsicles , the toasty, roasty, hoppy enervation of O’Hara’s is thrilling. This is a true stout: nutty and buttery with a weighty body and a tart crispness. (.)the brothers who established the brewing company describe O’Hara’s as the way stout used to taste and anyone with a stout memory will find that the crispness and lucidity of O’Hara’s evokes the pleasures of nostalgia almost as much as the pleasures of drinking" . . . . . John Mckenna, The Irish Times.

In April 2000, a panel of 33 International Brewing Experts at the Millennium Brewing Industry International Awards in blind taste tests, voted O’hara’s Celtic Stout the World’s Number One Stout above 74 competing products. The awards held since 1886 are regarded as the most esteemed brewing competitions in the world. The Judges brief in judging the different beers was two fold; firstly in terms of its sensory appeal (i.e. taste, smell etc) and secondly to accredit the commercial worth of the beer quality. They awarded O’Hara’s Celtic Stout the prestigious title of Champion Stout in the International Dark Milds, Stouts and Porters competition in addition to the Gold Medal in its own category for beers between 4.2-6.9% abv.

Anchor Summer is the first American wheat beer in modern times. Our first brew of this light and refreshing beer was in the summer of 1984.
Anchor Summer is an all-malt beer, and over 50% of its malt comes from malted wheat. It is fermented with a traditional top-fermenting "ale" yeast because we prefer the clean flavors developed by this yeast. We believe that this style best celebrates the refreshingly light flavor of malted wheat. You may notice that the head on this beer is unusually abundant, with a consistency similar to whipped egg whites. This is due to protein contributed by the wheat.
The brewers at Anchor are proud to have revived not only rich hearty dark beers, but also this light crisp style of a modern American wheat beer.
Wheatmalt contributes to an unusual lightness and dryness to the palate, and this—combined with the distinctive flavor of the wheat—makes for a perfect thirst-quenching beverage. It is the ideal drink for beer lovers who appreciate tradition and character in their beer, but also seek a lighter, refreshing style, perfect for warm weather.

Abita Turbodog
Turbodog is a dark brown ale brewed with Willamette hops and a combination of pale, crystal and chocolate malts. This combination gives Turbodog its rich body and color and a sweet chocolate toffee-like flavor. Turbodog began as a specialty ale but has gained a huge loyal following and has become one of our flagship brews.

This ale pairs well with most meats and is great served with hamburgers or sausages. It is a good match with smoked fish and can even stand up to wild game dishes. Turbodog is also great for marinating and braising meats and cooking such things as cabbage and greens. Colby, Gloucester, Cheddar and Blue cheeses go nicely with Turbodog. It’s perfect with spicy Louisiana jambalaya or Spanish paella. Some even like it paired with chocolate!

Ommegang BPA
This fine pale ale has citrus and tropical fruit aromatic shared with a well-balanced – yet abundant – hop character. It uses our own Belgian yeast, five malts, two hops, and plenty of patience. Finishing touches include dry-hopping with Cascade hops and warm-cellaring.

Dogfish 60 Minute IPA
60 Minute IPA is continuously hopped - more than 60 hop additions over a 60 minute boil (getting a vibe yet of where the name came from?). 60 Minute is a session India Pale Ale brewed with a slew of great NorthWest hops. A powerful, but balanced East Coast I.P.A. with a lot of citrusy hop character. The session beer for hardcore beer enthusiasts!

O'Hara's Celtic Stout
Full bodied and luxuriously smooth it is the combination of traditional stout hops, an extra pinch of roast barley and crystal clear Irish water that make O’Hara’s Celtic Stout a delicious stout with just enough malt sweetness to balance that discernible roast bite.   International brewing experts are not alone in their praise of O’Hara’s, Irish food and drink critics have also passed very favourable comment on O’Hara’s.

"At a time when Guinness now produces a drink that puts one in mind of what Americans call popsicles , the toasty, roasty, hoppy enervation of O’Hara’s is thrilling. This is a true stout: nutty and buttery with a weighty body and a tart crispness. (.)the brothers who established the brewing company describe O’Hara’s as the way stout used to taste and anyone with a stout memory will find that the crispness and lucidity of O’Hara’s evokes the pleasures of nostalgia almost as much as the pleasures of drinking" . . . . . John Mckenna, The Irish Times.

In April 2000, a panel of 33 International Brewing Experts at the Millennium Brewing Industry International Awards in blind taste tests, voted O’hara’s Celtic Stout the World’s Number One Stout above 74 competing products. The awards held since 1886 are regarded as the most esteemed brewing competitions in the world. The Judges brief in judging the different beers was two fold; firstly in terms of its sensory appeal (i.e. taste, smell etc) and secondly to accredit the commercial worth of the beer quality. They awarded O’Hara’s Celtic Stout the prestigious title of Champion Stout in the International Dark Milds, Stouts and Porters competition in addition to the Gold Medal in its own category for beers between 4.2-6.9% abv.

Ten FIDY Imperial Stout
This titanic, immensely viscous stout is loaded with inimitable flavors of chocolate-covered caramel and coffee and hide a hefty 98 IBUs underneath the smooth blanket of malt. Ten FIDY (10.5% ABV) is made with enormous amounts of two-row malt, chocolate malt, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY is the ultimate celebration of dark malts and boundary-stretching beer.

Oak Aged Unearthly Imperial India Pale Ale, Draft Beer at Aroma Thyme Bistro

2010-04-10T13:19:00.000-07:00

Anchor Summer is the first American wheat beer in modern times. Our first brew of this light and refreshing beer was in the summer of 1984.
Anchor Summer is an all-malt beer, and over 50% of its malt comes from malted wheat. It is fermented with a traditional top-fermenting "ale" yeast because we prefer the clean flavors developed by this yeast. We believe that this style best celebrates the refreshingly light flavor of malted wheat. You may notice that the head on this beer is unusually abundant, with a consistency similar to whipped egg whites. This is due to protein contributed by the wheat.

Ithaca Nut Brown
The rich mahogany hue of the Nut Brown is the first thing you will notice. You’ll find subtle hints of both chocolate & coffee. We delicately blend chocolate & caramel malts with four others to make this flavorful, easy drinking beer. The malt character will appeal to those looking for a moderate dark ale, but the smoothness is what will surprise all.

Oskar Yella Blues
Oskar Blues’ newest beer is an uncompromising, small-batch version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czech Republic famous. Unlike mass market “pilsners” diluted with corn & rice, Mama’s is built with 100% pale malt, German specialty malts, and Bavarian hops. While it’s rich with Czeched-out flavor, its gentle hopping (35 IBUs) and low ABV (just 5.3%) make it a luxurious but low-dose (by Oskar Blues standards) refresher.

is a big, aggressively hopped India Pale Ale brewed for hop disciples. It starts out with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishes with a nice rich, malty sweetness that is balanced with crisp hop bitterness. 7.1% ABV

Sixpoint Belgali IPA
Our tribute to the bounty of domestic hops - four different hop varieties grown in the Pacific Northwest provide this ale with a robust citrus flavor and aroma that is perfectly balanced by a generous amount of malt flavor.
Dogfish Chicory Stout
A dark beer made with a touch of roasted chicory, organic Mexican coffee, St. John's Wort, and licorice root. Brewed with whole-leaf Cascade and Fuggles hops, the grains include pale, roasted & oatmeal.
Chicory is one of the first beers we started brewing when the brewpub opened back in 1995. That's back when we had a teeny, tiny brewing system and had to brew all day, every day to keep up the bar stocked. Brewing with the same four ingredients got real boring, real fast. That's when Sam's ADD kicked in and he started adding some non-traditional brewing ingredeints.
Chicory Stout is our winter seasonal and released in bottles each year in the November/December timeframe. We do brew this beer in smaller, draft-only batches for our brewpub throughout the year.
It is roasty and delicious. It is also a fantastic food beer and pairs very well with chocolate!

The success of the 2007 Anniversary beer encouraged us to brew Chocolate Indulgence again in 2008. As of the end of October, 2008 the recent batch of Indulgence is now beginning to make its way to your local retailer.
Since the 2007 10th Anniversary Edition, our brewstaff and Department of All Things New and Delicious have been conducting strenuous research and exhaustive experiments to improve the character of the Chocolate Indulgence. We were happy with 2007's version, but, we tend to never sleep when it comes to fine-tuning the flavor and character of our beers. We feel that this year's batch has been honed to sublime levels of chocolatey / malty / decadent goodness. We hope you agree.

Captain Lawrence Brown Bird Ale

Named after the little birds that fly by the brewery looking for grain after the weather turns cold, this was originally to be a Fall/Winter seasonal. Clearly we underestimated the market for this smooth and malty brown ale, and we have decided to keep it for year round enjoyment.
SENSORY PROFILE

Smooth and malty, with a subdued hop presence. This beer puts the emphasis on malt not hops.

Southern Tier Unearthly IPA now on tap at Aroma Thyme Bistro

2010-01-11T16:24:00.000-08:00

Southern Tier Unearthly IPA

unEarthly poured a semi-hazy, golden orange color with almost no head. The aroma has some real ripe fruit, with a huge blast of hops. The body is creamy and smooth, with a decent amount of malt and strong sweetness from fruity esters. The hops start to show through in the middle and become stronger which lead to a really hoppy finish that throughly dries out the palate. Overall, this is a a very, very good beer. unEarthly is wonderfully balanced, excellent example of what an "Imperial" beer should be. The beer is smooth, has plenty of flavor, and the alcohol is abrely noticeable. The label reccomends that unEarthly should be served at 42 degrees which is a little colder than most craft brews but is the perfect temperature for this beer. A great beer from Southern Tier.

Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

Forget about the car companies, this is the original hybrid, a cross between a Scotch Ale, an India Pale Ale, and an American Brown. Our Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time (magical). The beer has characteristics of each style that inspired it; the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regiment of an India Pale Ale. We dry-hop the Indian Brown Ale in a similar fashion as our 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPAs. This beer is brewed with Aromatic barley and organic brown sugar.

Keegan Ales Supper Kitty

Super Kitty is Keegan's first seasonal beer to be sold in stores. At around 12% ABV, it is meant to be cellared, sipped and appreciated by the finest palates. Brewed using the excess from our Hurricane Kitty recipe, this beer is combined with 100lbs. of local Hudson Valley honey, oak chips and several additions of hops throughout the 6 month conditioning period.

Great Divide Oak Aged Yetti

is Yeti Imperial Stout’s sophisticated sibling. They may be from the same clan, but they have entirely different personalities. Oak aging gives a subtle vanilla character, rounding out Yeti’s intense roastiness and huge hoppy nature. Who says you can’t tame a Yeti? 9.5% ABV

Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence

The success of the 2007 Anniversary beer encouraged us to brew Chocolate Indulgence again in 2008. As of the end of October, 2008 the recent batch of Indulgence is now beginning to make its way to your local retailer.
Since the 2007 10th Anniversary Edition, our brewstaff and Department of All Things New and Delicious have been conducting strenuous research and exhaustive experiments to improve the character of the Chocolate Indulgence. We were happy with 2007's version, but, we tend to never sleep when it comes to fine-tuning the flavor and character of our beers. We feel that this year's batch has been honed to sublime levels of chocolatey / malty / decadent goodness. We hope you agree.

Captain Lawrence Brown Bird Ale

Named after the little birds that fly by the brewery looking for grain after the weather turns cold, this was originally to be a Fall/Winter seasonal. Clearly we underestimated the market for this smooth and malty brown ale, and we have decided to keep it for year round enjoyment.
SENSORY PROFILE

Smooth and malty, with a subdued hop presence. This beer puts the emphasis on malt not hops.

Bitches come in a variety of forms, but there's never been something as sassy as Flying Dog's Raging Bitch Belgian IPA. An American IPA augmented with Belgian yeast, our 20th anniversary beer jumps out of the glass and nips at your taste buds with its delicate hop bitterness. At 8.3% ABV, this bitch is dangerously drinkable.

Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale

Forget about the car companies, this is the original hybrid, a cross between a Scotch Ale, an India Pale Ale, and an American Brown. Our Indian Brown Ale is well-hopped and malty at the same time (magical). The beer has characteristics of each style that inspired it; the color of an American Brown, the caramel notes of a Scotch Ale, and the hopping regiment of an India Pale Ale. We dry-hop the Indian Brown Ale in a similar fashion as our 60 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPAs. This beer is brewed with Aromatic barley and organic brown sugar.

Avery 15th Anniversary Ale

Avery Brewing Company of Boulder, Colorado just celebrated it's 15th anniversary this year and as it has traditionally done over that last several years, it has come out with a unique beer to commemorate it's birthday. Last years Fourteen ale was a dark American Strong Ale and was praised by the beer masses. Could this year's ale be even better? 2008's Anniversary Ale entitled Fifteen is described as a wild farmhouse ale and is fermented with Brettanomyces, a wild yeast considered to be a strain normally to be avoided by brewers unless of course that's the thing you had in mind. Whenever you brew with "brett" you know it's gonna be a wild ride as the organism tends to give a sour and somewhat tart affect.

Abita Andygator

Andygator, a creature of the swamp, is a unique high-gravity brew made with pale malt, German lager yeast, and German Perle hops. Unlike other high-gravity brews, Andygator is fermented to a dry finish with a slightly sweet flavor and subtle fruit aroma. Reaching an alcohol strength of 8% by volume, it is a Helles Dopplebock.

You might find it goes well with fried foods. It pairs well with just about anything made with crawfish. Some like it with a robust sandwich! Andygator also is a good aperitif and easily pairs with gorgonzola and creamy blue cheeses. Because of the high alcohol content, be cautious---sip it for the most enjoyment.

Ommegang Adoration

Ommegang announces our first Strong Winter Ale, named Adoration, becoming available from mid-October through December, all across the US.

Ommegang Adoration, brewed in the authentic style of Belgian winter, or noel beer, is dark, strong, malty and assertively spiced.

At 10% abv Adoration is not a lightweight beer, and is best sipped before a roaring fire, or on a sleigh ride over the hills to Grandma’s house. (But let someone else drive.) It would also be a tasty accompaniment to dark roasts and wild game. Even at the strong abv, the beer is well-balanced and not at all hot or fiery. The dark malts give it lush, malty flavors and aromas, strongly complemented by the five spices, including coriander, cumin, mace, cardamom and grains of paradise. Hopping is modest, as befits such a beer.
