Return of the Griffin!

Finally! - McAuslan is back in Vermont after many years of being absent even though they're just across the border. No "Griffin" yet, but you might know their other beers better under the name of St-Ambroise. Just added:
+ St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout 4pk
+ St-Ambroise Apricot Wheat Ale 4pk

And from our buddies at Rock Art, we're happy to stock their newest, the Pumpkin Imperial Spruce Stout! At 50 IBUs and 8% ABV, this is no headless horseman pumpkin beer. This is a true homage to pumpkin brewing in New England. It's not made to taste like mediocre pumpkin pie, with more spices added than malt, but rather the pumpkin is used for fermentable sugars and the beer can speak for it self. Oh, and did I mention the spruce tips used to add bitterness and aromatics? This is a pumpkin beer I can actually stand behind.

Cheers,
Jeff
