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

Weekend Update

Hello everyone out there in cyberspace and thanks for reading! I've had a lot of you stop by lately and thank me for keeping up this blog - but I want to thank you for reading it! Glad to know I have so many readers! Cheers to all of you!

We got a few things back in stock this weekend and one new add:
+ Otter Creak Alpine Black IPA6 and 12pks
- Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
- Lots of local winter variety packs are now in stock

And we received 30 cases of Dogfish Head 60 and 90 Minute IPA's - some of you might have noticed that there has been a dearth of DFH products lately and this is due to the brewery being over-sold and not being able to keep up with demand. Our supplier managed to get a special truck sent up with a little bit of these beers on it for us and hopefully by the time they sell through, DFH will be back in the groove. Both are super fresh being bottled only a couple weeks ago. If you've never had 90 Minute this fresh - you absolutely must try it! Splendid!

A couple other beers have been having supply issues so if you see a spot that's been empty every time you come in, it's probably due to lack of supply not lack of attention. I order everything that we're out of twice a week in an attempt to fill up those empty spots.

Have a great weekend!
Cheers,
Jeff

Lake Placid is Back!

To all of you who take the ferry across the lake to get good ol' Lake Placid brews - stop by the Bevy first! We just got our first shipment of beers from them in over 2 years! Right now we've got the Ubu Ale and their IPA (formerly "Frost Bite Ale") in 6 packs but hope to get more varieties soon. I'll keep you posted!

Cheers,
Jeff
