Flying Fish's "Exit" series is a long-running series of limited-production and limited-distribution brews. Exit 10 Trail Mix was one such beer, made for a limited time and sold only in their Exit Variety Packs and a small number of 750-ml bottles. We're very excited to have been able to work with the brewery to produce a special batch of this now-retired beer just for our members. Pouring very dark in color, even for a brown ale, and topped...

Much like India pale ale, imperial stout evolved as an English-produced beer style that found favor in a distant export market. In the case of imperial stout, it was a favorite among those in the 18th and 19th century imperial court of Russia, hence the "imperial" designation as well as the more specific moniker, "Russian imperial stout." Like IPA, imperial stouts are big, amped-up beers designed to survive the long sea voyage to their...

- Country: United States
Brewed in the style of a Belgian Dubbel, this beer pours the expected deep brownish color, albeit with a noticeable and attractive reddish hue. On the nose look for notes of brown sugar and caramel, light touches of chocolate, and a significant spicy character contributed by both the famously spicy Belgian yeast as well as the dose of hops. These characteristics come through on the palate too, along with plenty of raisin-like fruitiness...

Pouring a bright orange-copper color with a robust head of persistent foam, TropiCannon is a variant of the Heavy Seas Loose Cannon IPA which has been bolstered by the addition of real fruit including dried grapefruit, orange and lemon peel during brewing, and blood orange, mango, and grapefruit after fermentation. The aroma on this IPA is lush and beckoning, with notes of citrus peel, melon, tropical impressions of mango and passion fruit...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Irish Red Ale
- ABV: 4.3%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 25
- Serving Temperature: 43-48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Pint Glass
- Country: Ireland
What a treat – a craft-brewed traditional Irish red ale from the Emerald Isle itself! Pouring a very deep red-amber with plenty of tight foam, this Gold Medal winning ale (at the 2013 Dublin Craft Beer Cup) looks great in the glass. Big, prominent bread crust notes burst forth in the aroma, quite toasty indeed, bolstered by a touch of roast and cocoa powder, with impressions of earthy hops. On the palate, look for well-caramelized malts...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Irish Dry Stout
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
- Serving Temperature: 43-48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Pint Glass
- Country: Ireland
Launched in 2009, Leann Folláin is O'Hara's big brother to their original Irish Stout and won Gold at the inaugural Dublin Craft Beer Cup in 2013, among other awards. Richly-flavored and full-bodied for the style, this brew is considerably bigger at 6% ABV than most other traditional Irish-style dry stouts which generally weigh in around 4 to 4.5% or so. "Leann" translates in Gaelic to ale or beer, and "folláin" means wholesome, and it's an...

- Country: United States
Pouring a deep reddish-amber color with lots of fluffy foam, Red Fish certainly looks the part of a superb red ale. We were happy when it delivered in the aroma and flavor departments, too. On the nose, the cavalcade of American hop varietals delivers a hop-forward brew with plenty of floral and fruity notes including candied citrus, some tropical fruit, and even some berry-like hints. But, we’ve got some malt here too, offering caramel...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Double IPA
- ABV: 8.2%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 62
- Serving Temperature: 47-52° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
- Hops: Columbus, Warrior, Citra, Centennial, Simcoe, Chinook
- Malts: Superior Pilsen
- Country: United States
This bold double IPA from Flying Fish presents a bright golden color in the glass, topped by a robust and persistent head of fluffy, tight-bubbled, off-white foam that laces in big sheets when it finally begins to recede. We fell in love immediately with this brew's lush, fruity aroma. The label mentions tangerine, mango, and pine, and that is spot on. The citrus jumps out, but the soft tropical character really drew us in, along with some...

De Proef Brouwerij’s collaborative old ale with Surly Brewing Co. is a one-time collaborative release in De Proef’s ongoing Brewmaster’s Collaboration series. Zwart Black Star employs a vibrant old ale as its base, using contributions from star anise and aging the beer on sassafras wood with Brettanomyces to create something completely unique for this series. As we have often been able to do with this release series in the past, we’ve managed...

- Style: Blended Rye Saison fermented & aged in French Oak Barrels
- ABV: 6%
- Serving Temperature: 46–53° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Goblet, Chalice or Small Nonic Glass
- Country: United States
Libertine Brewing Co.’s wild ales are among the best we’ve ever experienced from the U.S., with layered tartness and precise blending, and we couldn’t possibly pick a better beer from this brewery to start with than the expressive Aubree. This rye saison, like all of Libertine’s wild ales, gets exposed to the local yeast and bacteria through an overnight stay within the brewery’s coolship, which introduces a complex melange of microflora...
