Sierra Nevada Sierra-bration!

Happy 30th Anniversary Sierra Nevada!

If you didn't go down to 3 Penny Taproom on Monday night and didn't make it to The Farmhouse Tap & Grill tonight you should be bummed and ashamed! Both had great turn outs for their tap-room takeovers!

I imagine that there's still some left-overs that need cleaning up so get in gear Thursday night and go drink some amazing Chico brews!

The Farmhouse had all 4 30th Anniversary beers, a keg of 2007 Bigfoot and 8 other brews on draft, so get on it already!

Cheers,
Jeff

Winnimere is at the Farmhouse

I feel like cheese and beer go hand-in-hand in Vermont, and I'm a big proponent of both. I drifted on down to The Farmhouse Tap & Grill in Burlington tonight and lo-and-behold they had Jasper Hill Winnimere as a special! This is a White Whale of a cheese for me. I first tried it about 3+ years ago at the Publick House Provisions in Brookline, MA (just outside Boston) and remembered it as being the stinkiest cheese I've ever smelled - washed in a lambic made by Shaun Hill (at the time) and wrapped in Birch bark - it was absolutely pungent. But on the palate it's super creamy and rich, delightfully delicate and beautiful.

And tonight I caught up with my Moby Dick - and it was every bit as good as I remembered it! It pairs beautifully with the 2010 Stoudt's Winter Ale (a hoppy red) and fought nicely with the Stillwater Cellar Door (wheat ale with sage).

This is a limited release from Jasper Hill and it won't be around for ever. If you like stinky delicious cheeses, get on down there and tell 'em Jeff sent ya!

Cheers,
Jeff

Announcing the arrival of the final beer in the Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary collection: "Our Brewers Reserve: Grand Cru! This is a special blend of Sierra Nevada's most highly acclaimed beers: Oak-aged Bigfoot Barelywine, Celebration Fresh Hop Ale and fresh Pale Ale. After the blend, the beer was generously dry-hopped.

I know I'm really excited to try this! It sounds amazing!

Cheers,

New Guinness and others

It's finally in Vermont! The US release of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout 4 packs have hit our shelves! It's a damn-tasty, drier, slightly more bitter and stronger (ABV-wise) version of the classic Guinness. This is the version that was typically only available in Jamaica and Africa and is brewed in Ireland, unlike a lot of the Guinness that we normally see which comes out of Canada.

We also received a shipment of Young's Double Chocolate Stout in a 4 pack of bottles.

And a draft update from my stop at Bluebird Tavern tonight - Dogfish Head Olde School Barleywine Ale, Hill Farmstead Twilight of the Idols (coffee, cinnamon, vanilla and bourbon-ed porter), Smuttynose Vunderbahr Pilsner, Dogfish Head Pangaea, Trapp Helles & Dunkel, Ommegang Abbey, Allagash White, Switchback, & Scaldis Peche Mel (a personal favorite!). Stop in and have a pint and tell 'em Jeff sentcha!

Cheers,
Jeff
