Newbies and EBF

I got a rare opportunity to go pour beer for Stone Brewing this weekend at the Extreme Beer Fest in Boston, so I'm packing up my things and heading out tomorrow night after the Magic Hat tasting. It's going to be a beer-filled weekend for me! I hope to stop by Wine Gallery in Brookline on Sunday to round things out by using what's left of my money to buy lots of goodies to bring back up to Vermont! I can't wait. (I packed my Tylenol, ibuprofen and aspirin right next to my gallon jug of water.)

As for new beers at the Bevy already this week:
+ Pinkus Jubilate Dark Lager 500mL (Organic - Germany)
+ Westmalle Dubbel 750mL's (we've had the 11.2oz, but now we've got the 750's!)

On the subject of Westmalle and the trappists, I spoke with our Merchant du Vin rep (the people who import Westmalle and Rochefort) about getting more of the line up here in VT and she said they were one step ahead of me and were having a meeting with their distributor sometime this week. I really hope to see the triples start pouring into Vermont soon! I'll keep you posted.

I'm expecting some new beers tomorrow, but since I'm heading out right after work, you'll have to settle for my "anticipated" list instead of my "confirmed arrivals" list:
+ More Sierra Nevada Bigfoot 6 packs!
+ Samichlaus 11.2oz bottles!
+ Berkshire Brewing Raspberry Strong Ale 22oz
+ Rogue Kells Irish Lager 22oz
+ Floris 4 packs
+ Sam Adams Imperial Series 4 packs
And hopefully many more, but no one can be sure until we check in our deliveries tomorrow afternoon.

Cheers, and happy drinking this weekend. I'll see you on the other side!

Celebrate New Year's In Style!

New Year's Eve is happening again this year...on the same date in fact. Did you remember to get your bubbly ahead of the rush? NO?! That's ok, I didn't either. But this year, I think I'm going to forgo the typical set of bubbles and latch onto some really unique sparklers in the beer room. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to snag one of those hefty 3 liters of Double Bastard or go for the more elegant Gouden Carolus Grand Cru magnum. But this I can tell you: Whatever I'm drinking this New Year's is going to be coming out of a rediculously large bottle! Hope you'll join me in toasting the New Year is style!

Cheers and Happy New Year!
Jeff
