- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Pint Glass
- Hops: Willamette
- Malts: 2-Row, Chocolate, Flaked Oats, Roasted Barley
- Country: United States
This Oatmeal Milk Stout from Hamburg presents an attractive garnet brown in the glass, capped by a crop of beige foam. On the nose, look for rich, deep-down maltiness to come through prominently. We picked up lots of roasted character, deep caramelization, touches of dark chocolate and coffee, and hints of lactose, all overlaid with a noticeable floral and woody-herbal hop note. This brew offers nice balance on the palate as the lactose sugar...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute, Pint Glass
- Hops: Hallertau, Sterling
- Malts: Carafa, Chocolate
- Country: United States
Brewed in the style of a German black lager (“schwarzbier”), albeit with a bit more oomph than is typical, this GABF silver medal winner pours a very dark brownish-black with a robust and long-lasting head of light brown foam. Look for aromas of milk & dark chocolate, mild coffee grounds, brown sugar and caramel, all overlaid with a bit of grassy and spicy noble hops. We’re off to a good start. On the palate we found this brew really hit the...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz

- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 18
- Serving Temperature: 48-53º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Goblet
- Hops: Strisselspalt
- Malts: Pilsen, White Wheat
- Country: United States
This Belgian-style saison presents a pale golden color capped by a robust head of bright white foam. Saison, like so many Belgian styles, offer a yeast-driven profile, and Small Town is no exception as its very distinctive aroma delivers classic saison notes. The Belgian yeast strain delivers plenty of phenolic clove-live character along with softer bubblegum and banana. Those fond of Belgian witbiers will notice a resemblance. A dash of...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Vienna Lager
- ABV: 5.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 22
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute, Pint Glass
- Hops: Hallertau, Vanguard
- Malts: Caramunich, Munich, Vienna
- Country: United States
This multiple gold-medal winning (including from the 2015 North American Brewers Association) winter seasonal from Uinta pours a gorgeous deep and clear reddish-amber hue with a head of light beige foam. On the nose this is quite a malty brew; look for prominent bread crust and toasty notes, medium caramelization, and some touches of earth, spice, and woodiness from the hop contribution. In the flavor, that maltiness comes through in a big...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 55
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Mug
- Hops: Cascade, Simcoe, Amarillo
- Malts: Pilsner, Carapils, Caramel 20
- Country: United States
Presenting a hazed golden-copper hue capped by a robust head of lasting foam that laces the glass nicely, Hamburg's IPA looks attractive in the glass while offering up a generous aroma. We picked up plenty of resinous citrus tending mostly towards orange with secondary grapefruit and tangerine notes, along with touches of pine, earth, stone fruit, and a jackfruit-like tropical impression. The hops come through resinous on the palate too, with...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA (West Coast Style)
- ABV: 6.3%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 62
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Snifter, Pint Glass
- Hops: Denali, El Dorado, Mosaic
- Malts: Oats, Caramel 15, Munich
- Country: United States
Pouring a bright, hazy golden color with a fluffy cap of foam, this aptly named west coast-style IPA offers up a boldly fruity aroma. Look for big notes of orange and grapefruit citrus plus luscious mango-like tropical fruit and sweet melon, along with an inviting floral impression. On the palate, the malt backbone comes through true to style with mild caramelization and toast, providing plenty of support while allowing the hops to shine. The...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 7.3%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 75
- Serving Temperature: 47-52º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, IPA Glass
- Hops: Galaxy
- Malts: Munich, Caramel 40
- Country: United States
This bold IPA from Uinta pours a medium amber color that's quite hazy, topped with a large crop of khaki foam. The aroma on this brew intrigued us right away with big notes of lime backed by lemon, passion fruit, touches of melon, earth, and hints of berry. Those lime impressions—a calling card of the Australian Galaxy hops—aren't shy on the palate either, as they grip one's taste buds immediately, bolstered by secondary notes of melon and...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Kellerbier
- ABV: 5.6%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 25
- Serving Temperature: 43-48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Stange, Pilsner Glass, Mug
- Country: Germany
Literally meaning "cellar beer", kellerbiers are traditionally matured in casks for several weeks and served unfiltered. They also feature a very low level of carbonation due to the tradition of the bungs in the casks being left loose, allowing the carbonation to escape as the beer conditions in underground cellars. This version from the world famous Weihenstephan brewery offers up a golden-amber color capped by a light beige head, with some...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Belgian Blonde Ale
- ABV: 6%
- Serving Temperature: 43-48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Goblet
- Hops: Cascade, Hallertau Mittelfrüh
- Country: Belgium
This is the beer that started it all: the first truly successful beer that Wouter Vermeersch brewed on his homebrewing system, which was widely enjoyed by not only himself but also his homebrewing friends. This Belgian blonde ale presents a hazy golden hue in the glass, capped by a crop of off-white foam. On the nose, look for biscuit and doughy bready notes, light caramel, and toast, overlaid with apple-like esters and hoppy character...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: 4-grain Imperial Stout
- ABV: 10%
- Serving Temperature: 52–59° F
- Suggested Glassware: Snifter, Tulip, or Pinot Glass
- Country: Netherlands
Sin & Remorse from Jopen and Brouwerij de Molen is a four-grain imperial stout brewed with a multi-grain base featuring traditional English brown malt as well as 38% rye, 24% oats, and a touch of wheat. The combination brings together both the full body that De Molen is known for and the epic amount of grains typically used in Jopen’s offerings. We just loved this imperial stout—it’s pretty traditional but also super nuanced and unique.
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: New-England-style Double IPA w/ rye, fermented on a blend of oak & double dry-hopped w/ Mosaic, El Dorado, Citra and Mackinac
- ABV: 9%

- Country: United States
We’ve been shipping beers monthly since 1994, and we wanted to do something special for our 25th anniversary. Over the past few years, we’ve had the pleasure of featuring a number of delicious beers from the folks at O’so Brewing in Wisconsin, and we chatted with them about taking the delicious New-England-style double IPA style, and giving it a little twist. A rye addition brings some spicy malt complexity to the fruity focus of the...
