What's New in Brew

DARK HORSE Buffo Brown Ale
Just like most of Dark Horse beers Buffo is on the "full body" scale pushing the envelope of what an American Brown Ale is to most people. The beer is a very deep/dark color of brown with a nice creamy tan head. The mouthfeel of the beer is very soft and is very drinkable. Flavors of  malt, caramel, toffee, and a mild earthy nutty finish allow this beer to be paired with hearty food and sips of bourbon.  6.5% abv

NORTH COAST Old Stock
Like a fine port, Old Stock Ale is intended to be laid down. With an original gravity of over 1.100 and a generous hopping rate, Old Stock Ale is well-designed to round-out and mellow with age. It's brewed with classic Maris Otter malt and Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, all imported from England.

MIKKELLER / BREWDOG 'I Hardcore You' Imperial IPA
I Hardcore You is a 9.5% Imperial India Pale Ale, an international collaborative effort between 2 of Europe's most rock 'n roll brewers. This beer is a blend of BrewDog’s Hardcore IPA and Mikkeller’s I Beat You. After the blending, the beer was then dry hopped a further twice. Making I Hardcore You a beer which has been dry hopped four times, or maybe even six times. As far as we are aware this is the first collaboration of this type anywhere in the world. The first time a collaboration beer has been made by blending beers from the respective brewers together. This is a one off brew with a small amount available for a limited time only.
With a bold emphasis on hop bitterness, India pale ales are the ultimate beverage pairing for spicy dishes. The sharp hop presence in most India pale ales can stand up to even the most devilish of spices in Cajun, Malaysian, Japanese, Indian, and Mexican cuisine.

MIKKELLER '10' American IPA
You might have seen Mikkeller’s single hop series – 10 beers with the same IPA base, each individually hopped with a special hop. Here's the list: Amarillo, Centennial, Cascade, Chinook, Warrior, Nugget, Simcoe, Tomahawk, East Kent, and Nelson Sauvin. '10' is a an IPA with all 10 of those special hops in
1 bottle.  Same IPA base as before, same abv 6.9%.  It’s full of citrus, tropical flavors and light malts.

EPIC Pale Ale
You can only drink so many beers in a lifetime, so you better make each one count. That's where Epic can help. They're obsessed with creating big hop-fuelled beers. This takes a shed-load of skill. It also takes a shed-load of hops.  Many brewers would call that 'insane'. They call it flavor. Showcasing fresh cascade hops in all its glory! Biting, aromatic citrisy, piney hoppiness on the nose and palate, right through to the finish. A well crafted brew.


BUFFALO BILL'S Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom Cream is a seasonal beer in the fastest growing category in the craft segment. Pour it into a glass and enjoy the fragrance of freshly peeled orange.Orange Blossom is brewed with sweet orange peel, orange blossom extract and honey. Even people who don't like beer swear by Orange Blossom.
 

GOOSE ISLAND Pepe Nero Belgian Farmhouse Style
With an aroma of roasted chestnuts and a mysteriously dark, mahogany hue, Pepe Nero is a farmhouse ale brewed with black peppercorns. His roasty sweetness melds into a lingering, earthy, black pepper finish that is ideal for pairing with grilled meats and roasted vegetables. Malt: Pilsner, Rye, Crystal Rye, Black Malt
Hops: Pilgrim, Saaz  6% ABV
