Vintage Update

I know some of you really dig on vintage beers, so I thought I'd let you know of a couple verticals we have going on our shelves:

+ Stone Imperial Russian Stout 2008 12oz and 2009 22oz
+ Allagash Victor 2008 & 2009
+ Allagash Victoria 2008 & 2009

Enjoy the awesomeness that is a vertical tasting!
Cheers,
Jeff

Brewest News

Here's your weekend update in 25 ounces or less:

+ Stone (CA) Levitation 6 packs
+ Wittekerke (Belgium) White ale 6 pack bottles
+ Wittekerke Rosé (w/raspberries) 6 pack cans (yup, cans)
+ Petrus (Belgium) Oud Bruin 4 packs
+ Petrus Aged Pale Ale 11.2oz singles
+ Leute (Belgium) Bokbier 750mL

These are all brand new to the state and we are the first store to stock them! I'm a personal fan of the Petrus Oud Bruin. It's a sour brown ale and is wonderful if you're into gueuze, flemish sour ales, or lamics. I'm looking forward to trying the Aged Pale Ale which I presume will also be sour.

UPDATE: Petrus Aged Pale ale is awesome! Check out my review on BeerAdvocate.com.

And a SUPER-Sized goody:
+ Duvel 3 Liter!

Come and get it!
Cheers,
Jeff

Limited glassware

Howdy folks! Just wanted to tip you on some limited specialty glassware that we got in recently. Some of these are really hard to come by without going to the brewery, so don't hesitate!

+ Rock Art "Vermonster" tulip
+ Dogfish Head snifter
+ Harpoon "100 Barrel Series" gold-rimmed tulip
+ Erdinger .5L dimple stein
+ Piraat tulip

Drink in style!
Cheers,

New Additions to the Collection

Another edition of "What we added to our Beer Room." It doesn't ever get old! I love having this much space to add beers, but I gotta say, we're running out of room! I keep saying we're going to have to start hanging the beer from the ceiling.

+ Pennichuck Chief's Imperial IPA 22oz
+ Stone 2009 Imperial Russian Stout 22oz
+ Allagash Confluence 2009 (Super Limited)
+ Allagash Victor 2009 (Brewed w/ Cabernet grapes instead of Pinot Noir)
+ Allagash Victoria 2009 (w/ Chardonnay grapes)
+ Gritty McDuff's "21" IPA 6 packs
+ Rogue Capt. Sig's Deadliest Ale 22oz (India Red Ale)

For the Allagash offerings, we've amassed some verticals, so I've put stickers on the vintages that aren't dated clearly on the labels. We've done this to provide you with an awesome opportunity to try multiple years of the same brew at different ages. We've got lots of other precious vintage goodies tucked away in our "Beer Cave" that we'll be releasing periodically starting later this year. I'll definately post on here when I re-release things.

Got more goodies coming next week! I'll let you know what shows up when it's in-house, but I'll give you a hint: it's from Belgium!

Cheers,
Jeff
