Lakefront Brewery - Eastside Dark

ABV: 5.00%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 12
Serving Temperature: 50° F
Hops: Mt. Hood (used for bitterness, flavor and aroma)
Malts: 2-Row Pale, Munich, Chocolate, Black
Country: United States

The rich, coffee-like aroma and flavor of this fine Dark Bavarian style lager beer is derived from a precise blending of three different specialty barley malts: chocolate, black patent, and Munich malt. Munich malt is also added to bring about the creamy body of this malty brew. The most impressive aspect of this brew is the tight balance between the specialty malts and Mt. Hood hops. This is a medium-bodied beer that is loaded with smoky, peaty ...

Fuller's Griffin Brewery - Fuller's Special Edition ESB

ABV: 6.1%
Hops: Goldings
Country: England

We were developing ideas for a new beer to celebrate Fullers 160th anniversary (this year). We wanted to do an enhanced version of ESB, possibly in both bottle and cask. The bottle would have to be bottle-conditioned, as we feel that is best for flavour, and it seemed that a special version of our most famous beer for Michael Jackson and the Rare Beer Club would fit the bill!...

Rare Beer Club

Pivovar Hradec Králové - Lev Lion Pale Double Bock

ABV: 5.15%
Serving Temperature: 50° F
Country: Czech Republic

The first documented account of brewing in the Czech territories dates from 1088. In those days, both beer production and consumption were limited to the home, thus, most citizens had their own “microbrewery”. Inevitably, the citizenry banded together to form the first unofficial microbreweries, cleverly splitting the brewing steps such that the final stages were still completed in their homes. As the ruling monarchy eventually realized the monet...

Unibroue - La Fin du Monde

ABV: 9.00%
Serving Temperature: 52-55° F
Country: Canada

Unibroue brews artisan-crafted beers intended for savoring. They have a unique taste and are brewed using a traditional methods. With the exception of a handful of their brews, all are created using the process of in-bottle refermentation (that’s re-fermentation, not refer-mentation, just to clarify so there’s no assumed tie-in whatsoever to the marijuana controversy mentioned earlier). This occurs because their beers are only partially filtered ...

Lakefront Brewery - Klisch Pilsner

ABV: 5.30%
Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 19
Serving Temperature: 48° F
Hops: Czech Saaz
Malts: 2-Row Pale, Carapils
Country: United States

In the words of Lakefront Brewery founding father, Russ Klisch, “Klisch Pilsner is a meat and potatoes beer,” meaning that although there are no darker specialty grains used to influence the color or texture of this beer, it is nonetheless a full-bodied satisfying all-malt brew. The recipe is straightforward, but the manner in which it is put together is what gives this beer its complexity. The deep golden color and malty flavor come from an ampl...

Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
Hops: Perle, Willamette
Malts: 2-Row Pale, Munich, Caramel, Carapils, Wheat, Smoked, Black
Country: United States

The Old Dominion Brewing Company uses four basic ingredients in all their beers: malted barley, hops, yeast and water to craft their brews. They also use honey in their Millennium brew, and wheat and roasted barley in their regular stout, along with roasted oak chips and vanilla beans in their Oak Barrel Stout. The latter two ingredients are added to the fermenting tanks in a process that is similar to dry hopping, imparting their oaken and vanil...
