New Mead and incoming goodies

I'd like to start by saying that we have added two new brands of mead to our shelves in the past couple weeks: Artesano (VT) and HoneyMaker (ME)! Lots of fun flavors including a spiced one from Artesano and a Dry Hopped one from HoneyMaker (Cascade hops). Come on in and check them out for yourself. They're located on the shelves right across from the bomber cooler in our newly expanded Mead Section.

As for incoming beer goodies, I can safely tell you about the inbound Stone Old Guardian 2011 vintage, "Classic Release." We're getting a lions share of the tiny amount that was produced this year. Stone is introducing a new version of it, a Belgo-version, and drastically reduced the production of this outrageously hoppy barleywine monster. '11 won't be around for very long, but we snapped up the remaining inventory of 2010 too and will have that for a spell.

Also coming back in stock tomorrow (Fri.):
- Dieu du Ciel Peche Mortel, Corne du Diable, Route des Epices and for the first time, Solstice d'Hiver! (No Aphrodite this time, sorry!)
- De Ranke Guldenberg
- Inveralmond Lia Fail and Black Friar

And one update concerning Cantillon - a lot of fairful Sour Heads have been asking after Fou'foune, but unfortunately none of the cases that recently arrived in the US are coming to Vermont...I know, I'm just as crushed! I miss that beer. Hopefully we'll see some other Cantillon beers soon, though... But if you go to Hill Farmstead's event this Saturday, I'm told he might have some Fou'foune on draft. You'd have to confirm with Shaun though.

Cheers,
Jeff
