Ghost Beers

Some beers just have unfinished business on this earth and can't pass on to that big redemption center in the sky just yet. We have a few ghost beers haunting our shelves. The "deadest" beer on our shelves right now hails from the now defunct Pennichuck brewery: Saint Florian Dopplebock Lager 2008. For whatever reason, I was able to order some more of this beer even after the brewery closed their doors.

Another ghost, and this one is "pun-y" for sure, is from Rogue: Double Dead Guy 2008. It's twice as dead and just as collectible. I've got some in my personal collection and am stoked for it to mature.

One last one - Stone is just releasing their 2010 Imperial Russian Stout tomorrow, but I still have those creepy 12oz bottles of the 2008 release, the ones that were originally done for the Japanese market. Come in tomorrow afternoon and grab two brews, two years apart and taste the ghastly goodness!

These beers have all been stored properly and are ready to drink or cellar further. Don't miss out on the chance to fulfill these beers and let them "pass on" to the other side.

(Ok, I know it got a little weird, but thanks for sticking with me.)
Cheers,
Jeff

Lawson's Finest Liquids

Hiyo!

We got in a tiny amount of Lawson's Finest this week and it's going fast!
+ Permagrin Rye Pale Ale (a personal favorite!)
+ Crooked Cabin Brown Ale

We're asking a limit of two bottles of each flavor per person just to spread the goodness around to as many folk as possible. Thanks for understanding!

Cheers,
Jeff

VT winners in World Beer Cup

I just want to send out our congratulations to The Alchemist, Lawson's Finest Liquids and Harpoon for bringing home medals in the World Beer Cup! The Alchemist nailed a Gold Medal in the Gluten Free Beer category for their "Celia Saison." Harpoon was awarded a Silver Medal for their UFO Hefeweizen in the American-Style Wheat Beer with Yeast category. And Mister Sean Lawson himself grabbed Bronze for his Maple Tripple in the Specialty Beer category.

Congrats to all the winners (but especially the Vermont ones)!

Cheers,

Another reason we're the best!

Just in case you need one more reason why we're the hardest working beer store in the state, we grabbed another beer not otherwise available:

+ Sinebrychoff Porter (Finland) - A world-renouned Imperial/Baltic-style porter!

We're the only store that has any and there's only 24 bottles to go around...well, 22 really if you're picking up what I'm laying down...

We also added two Kolsch brews:

+ Stoudt's Karnival Kolsch 6 packs

+ Otter Creek Spring Ale Kolsch 6 and 12 packs

One other note - lots of people are asking about Stone Imperial Russian Stout 2009 22oz...they are all gone! We just placed our pre-order for the 2010 release which will be along sometime in the next few weeks. We do still have plenty of 12 oz 2008 Vintage IRS in the meantime.

Cheers,

Jeff

New Adds

Too nice to sit in front of this computer for long, so just a short update:

Restocked on Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA 6 packs!

And for those of you who also drink wine, you should stop in and check out the "Steals & Deals" room. We stocked it up with some "Killer" deals today!

Cheers,
Jeff
