Left Hand - Nitro Milk Stout 6.0 ABV / Colorado

TAKING AMERICA BACK. Dark & delicious, America’s great milk stout will change your perception about what a stout can be. Pouring hard out of the bottle, Milk Stout Nitro cascades beautifully, building a tight, thick head like hard whipped cream. The aroma is of brown sugar and vanilla cream, with hints of roasted coffee. The pillowy head coats your upper lip and its creaminess entices your palate. Initial roasty, mocha flavors rise up, with slight hop & roast bitterness in the finish. The rest is pure bliss of milk chocolate fullness.

Pyramid - Hefeweizen 5.2 ABV / California

The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. Our deliciously deranged American-Style Hefeweizen is an award winning take on this Bavarian classic. This refreshingly unfiltered wheat ale delivers a distinctively smooth flavor worth sharing with friends.

Left Hand - 400 Pound Monkey 6.8 ABV / Colorado

Because this one ain't like them others. We use hops of a different color, earthy and herbal, well-balanced by bready malt. The result? An English-style IPA that separates itself from the ubiquitous bunch. Cartloads of bitter monkeys flinging wasteful amounts of bananas into the jungle . . .we're so done with that.

Brooklyn - Brown Ale 5.6 ABV / Brooklyn, NY

The overall impression is a very dark, sweet, creamy ale. A treat for the aficionado of classic styles, this product will have very limited distribution.

Van Eeke - Poperings Hommel Belgian IPA 7.5 ABV / Belgium

Poperings Homel is the true Belgian hop ale. All other hop beers from Belgium are brewed specifically for the U.S. market. However, Poperings Hommel is Van Eecke’s flag ship brand in Belgium and abroad. What makes it special is of course the yeast, and what makes it unique is the higher amounts of hops used. This beer has about twice the bitterness of other Belgian beers. We could not expect less, since this beer has been brewed for centuries in the heart of the Belgian hops region: Poperinge. Indeed, the small village of Watou is today part of the city of Poperinge. Poperings Hommel ale is brewed with a blend of summer, winter and aromatic pale malts. The brewery has its own well where soft water is found, and only local grown hops from the Gold and Hallertau family are used. "A roselike floweriness, honeyish notes, orange-zest hop flavors and a late spicy, cuminseed dryness." – Michael Jackson | Beer Hunter

Ithaca - Cascazilla Red Ale 7.0 ABV / Ithaca, NY

The name CascaZilla (Cas-kuh-zil-uh) is a play on both the name of a gorge in Ithaca called Cascadilla and the monster amounts of Cascade Hops we use to make the beer. The predominant flavor and aroma of this beer comes from fresh American hops. CascaZilla gets its distinctive red color from a healthy portion of caramel malt, which also lends to the beer, a hearty body and sweetness. It is a hoppy red ale! ABV 7% IBUs: N/A Malt: 2-Row, Crystal, Black Hops: Cascade, Chinook, Crystal Dry-Hop: Cascade, Amarillo Suggested Food Pairing: Accentuates spicy stews or barbecued meat. Recommended Cheese Pairing: Strong cheeses like Danish Blue or Gruyere.

Sierra Nevada - Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale 6.7 ABV / California

Otherwise known as "that beer with the really long name," this is the third in Sierra Nevada's Harvest Series, featuring fresh Pacific Hallertau, New Zealand Motueka and New Zealand Southern Cross hops, all from New Zealand. The flash-dried hops are flown directly to the Chico Estates brewery so that this pale ale is brewed within a week of picking the hops. Enjoy the first harvest of the year!

Left Hand - Week Sauce Coffee Porter 6.0 ABV / Colorado

For this year’s Beer Week Sauce, Left Hand was lucky to once again partner with local coffee company, Allegro Coffee to supply us the ground beans to add to aging. Allegro sent our Head Brewer Ro home with a whopping 60 pounds of Sumatra Blue Batak (since renamed Sumatra Lintong) for just the first batch! The heavy bodied coffee comes from Northern Sumatra, a province of Indonesia in the southern hills of Lake Tabo (the world’s largest volcanic crater lake). The coffee is sourced from the indigenous Batak people whom use a special technique of wet hulling (Giling Basah), which imparts a more rustic flavor in the coffee. Sumatra Blue Batak is known for its unique herbal character, with mushroom undertones and hints of eucalyptus, sage, and tobacco. We add the coffee to Beer Week Sauce using a beloved piece of equipment, known around Left Hand as the Hop2-D2. The Hop2 helps us steep an ingredient into the beer, to extract the desired flavor. Based on the name, you can guess that more often than not, it’s used for hops – but hey, we make our own rules. Brewer Tim & Cellarman Adam add bag by bag – 12 total, to the Hop2-D2 as it infuses the porter with the coffee grounds. For this 60 bbl batch, we added a total of 60 pounds of Sumatra Blue Batak to the beer. The added coffee will then age with the beer, till it’s time to filter and then ultimately be packaged. Brewed for the champions of Beer Weeks across the U.S., Beer Week Sauce 2013 does not disappoint! The beer pours black with a big punch of roast coffee in the nose. The earthy, roasty Sumatra coffee plays with a slight citrus hop element. Chocolate and strong coffee lead to a finish of coffee roasting and pleasant bitterness. Strong & flavorful, Beer Week Sauce is a dream come true for both the beer lover and coffee fanatic in you!

Sierra Nevada - Bigfoot Barleywine (2011) 9.6 ABV / California

From the brewery’s private library. Extended aging of Bigfoot refines some of the barleywine’s notoriously bold character. Famous for its aggressive hoppiness, vintage Bigfoot gains more subtlety over time. As the hops fade to the background, the robust malts take over and notes of brandied cherries, dates, cocoa, leaf tobacco and caramel come to the fore. Over time, Bigfoot becomes less of a beast and more of a beauty, suitable for serving as an after-dinner drink in your favorite cordial glass or snifter.

Van Steenberge - Monk's Café Flemish Red Ale 5.5 ABV / Belgium

As Belgian beer lovers, you certainly know about the famous restaurant-bar in Philadelphia with the name Monk’s Café. This restaurant is known all over the USA as one of the best places to find an extensive selection of Belgian beers, and also great food cooked in Belgian beer. The owner Tom Peters is one of the many people who fell in love years ago with Belgian beer, and one of the few who had the passion and tenacity to learn all about it. In 2002 he finally had the opportunity, and the courage to convince the Van Steenberge brewery to bottle its famous ‘BIOS - Vlaamse Bourgogne’ under private label for him. The Flemish Burgundy of the Van Steenberge brewery is an old brown in style, aged in oak, and is one of the oldest brews made by the brewery, at least brewed for over 300 years. Tom Peters knew the beer long since, but always had trouble finding some bottles, even in Belgium. Indeed, the beer is only brewed once a year. A final tasting of a whole line of Belgian Old Browns in the Brugs Beertje bar (Brugge) tilted the decision: this is the best old brown ale in the world! And Tom went to the brewery to see Mr. Paul Van Steenberge and Mr. Jef Versele, the owners of the brewery. Well the rest is history, as they say, but we at the Global Beer Network are very honored to be able to import this fabulous, exceptional Belgian beer in the USA.

Victory - Alt Bier 4.5 ABV / Pennsylvania

Refreshing character with a pleasing depth of flavor.

McBane's - Best Bitter 4.4 ABV / Honeoye Falls, NY

A beer that was created by Bruce Lish back in 2007 for our opening brew at Tap and Mallet. It is our 5 year anniversary at the Tap and Mallet and we asked Bruce to bring it back to life. Originally the beer was made at Rorhbachs. This version has been made at Custom Brewcrafters. It is a copper colored session ale where the Maris Otter malt and Willamette hops both compliment each other perfectly. Very balanced.

GOOD MORNING. YOU’VE WOKEN UP DEAD. YOU’RE IN RUINS. But don’t be discouraged. Here’s a black ale to brighten your day. Wake Up Dead lurks in our cellars for over 4 months before being unleashed.

3 Heads - Ontario Coast Belgian IPA 7.5 ABV / Honeoye Falls, NY

Sam Adams - Honey Queen Braggot 10.3 ABV / Massachusetts

This golden concoction begins with the soft sweetness of its witbier roots with hints of orange and citrus. Yet these familiar flavors are taken to the next level with an exotic blend of spices reminiscent of medieval brewing. From coriander to dried plum and anise the spices combine with a bolder, richer flavor for a warm, spicy brew that’s smooth and refreshing.

Sierra Nevada - Summerfest Pilsner 5.0 ABV / California

Summerfest is a refreshing, pilsner-style lager. Its incredible smoothness comes from an extra-long lagering period. Lighter in body than our ales but just as complex in character, Summerfest quenches your thirst with big aroma and a tangy hop bite.

A Hoppy Session Beer. Drink Up.

Green Flash - Palate Wrecker 9.2 ABV / California

Palate Wrecker was originally brewed for the Hamilton’s Tavern 2nd Anniversary celebration.

By popular demand, it is now released for the world to enjoy.

Hofstetten - Granitbock 7.3 ABV / Austria

Ist nun ein Bau vorbei, da gibt's 'n Schmauserei gut zu essen, viel zu trinken, gebrat'ne Wurst und Schinken, viel Bier noch hintendrein, da ist gut Steinmetz sein. So heißt es in einem alten Steinmetzlied. Dieses Handwerk kann im Mühlviertel auf eine lange Tradition verweisen. Auch wurde ein eigener Granitlehrpfad eingerichtet und natürlich ein entsprechendes Bier gebraut. Ein Bier wie es früher eines Steinmetz würdig war, kräftigund dunkel. Schon die Farbe verrät, hier steht ein besonderes Bier. Das Hofstettner Granitbier - bernstein schimmernd weckt es die Neugierde und will verkostet werden. Schon im Antrunk eröffnen sich leichte Caramelnoten, die aus dunklen Malzen stammen. Die Mischung machts, in diesem Bier verbinden sich Röstaromen tiefbrauner Malze mit der Harmonie von hellem Malz. Die Hopfennote darf hier nur unterstützend sein und so schillert ein Hauch von Blumigkeit mit hinein in das Geschmackserlebnis. Der Name Granit erinnert an die geologische Wurzel des Mühlviertels. Der Granitstein wirkt wie ein Filter auf das Wasser, welches dadurch zu einer globalen Besonderheit wird, die nur Mühlviertler Bieren zugrunde liegt.

Ballast Point - Abandon Ship Rauchbier 6.6 ABV / California

Here is one of those gems from Ballast Point that comes and goes from time to time. Ballast Point makes very few lagers, but the ones they make are pretty fantastic.

Captain Lawrence - Xtra Gold Trippel 10.0 ABV / Elmsford, NY

This beer is the result of the marriage between two very distinct beer styles; the Belgian Tripel & American IPA. We have taken the best qualities from both styles and allowed them to shine through. The fruity and spicy notes from the imported Belgian yeast strain & the pungent flavors and aromas of the American grown Amarillo hops flow seamlessly together to create this flavorful ale. Straight from the Captain’s cellar to yours, we hope you enjoy. SENSORY PROFILE Enjoy in a goblet or wine glass.Tropical fruit and honey are the two biggest aromas coming from this lively brew. While the hop bitterness is not as powerful as an IPA, the hop flavor melds nicely with the fruity flavors created by the imported Belgian yeast strain used. FOOD PAIRING This beer goes great with roasted vegetables, fish and rotisserie chicken. And it can be used as a aperitif before dinner with shrimp cocktail.

Dogfish Head - Positive Contact 9.0 ABV / Delaware

A positive combination of Fuji cider, slow-roasted farro, a bit of cayenne and fresh cilantro. This beer part of our Music Series of beers... this one is an amalgamation of hip-hop, beer, cider and a DIY culinary experience! Sam and Dan the Automator of Deltron 3030 teamed up to create Positive Contact, based on Dan's favorite ingredients and Dogfish Head's innovative brewing practices. Named after a key track on the first album, Positive Contact is a 9% ABV hybrid of beer and cider brewed with Fuji apples, roasted farro, a handful of cayenne peppers and a late dose of fresh cilantro. This sweet-and-sour Belgian-ish brew is a light straw color with fruity, cider-like notes. The cayenne and alcohol give it a warming finish. For the inaugural release (2012), the beer was packaged in a dynamic box set of six 750-ml champagne bottles, with a 10-inch vinyl EP of four new Deltron 3030 remixes created exclusively for this project, and a list of Deltron 3030-inspired recipes from a small group of renowned chefs. Subsequent releases did not include the vinyl or recipes.

Anchor - Summer Beer 4.5 ABV / California

Anchor Summer is the first American wheat beer in modern times. Our first brew of this light and refreshing beer was in the summer of 1984. Anchor Summer is an all-malt beer, and over 50% of its malt comes from malted wheat. It is fermented with a Triticum aestivum, AKA wheat traditional top-fermenting "ale" yeast because we prefer the clean flavors developed by this yeast. We believe that this style best celebrates the refreshingly light flavor of malted wheat. You may notice that the head on this beer is unusually abundant, with a consistency similar to whipped egg whites. This is due to protein contributed by the wheat. The brewers at Anchor are proud to have revived not only rich hearty dark beers, but also this light crisp style of a modern American wheat beer. Wheat malt contributes to an unusual lightness and dryness to the palate, and this—combined with the distinctive flavor of the wheat—makes for a perfect thirst-quenching beverage. It is the ideal drink for beer lovers who appreciate tradition and character in their beer, but also seek a lighter, refreshing style, perfect for warm weather.Anchor Summer is the first American wheat beer in modern times.

A strong ale that starts out sweet and malty with an alcoholic warming in the finish. Very smooth going down but it packs quite a kick.

Sam Adams - Little White Rye 5.3 ABV / Massachusetts

Innocent yet beguiling, this hazy golden brew appears to be a classic witbier with its bright notes of orange citrus & coriander, but there’s a bit more mischief up its sleeve. Behind its sweet exterior lies an intriguing blend of white sage and rye for an earthy, spicy, and thoroughly refreshing brew.
