Choose from Five different Beer Clubs offering unmatched variety by brewery,
country of origin, and beer style to suit your specific tastes.
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Winter Warmer
- ABV: 7.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 28
- Serving Temperature: 48-55º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
- Hops: Magnum
- Malts: Pale, CaraMunich 1, Melanoidin, Smoked, Crushed Black
- Country: United States
This winter seasonal presents a gorgeous, crystal-clear, deep amber color with copper flashes, topped by a head of light khaki foam. In the aroma, we picked up plenty of maltiness here, with bold caramel and touches of honey lending a lightly sweet impression, along with some bready touches. A clean, mild, hop note offers hints of citrus and woody spice. On the palate, the rich, malty core delivers tons of caramel, biscuit, and honey, with...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Milk Stout
- ABV: 6.7%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 13
- Serving Temperature: 50-55º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass, Mug, or Tulip
- Hops: Golding, Hallertau
- Malts: Pilsen, Munich, Caramel 80L, Chocolate, Black, Roasted Barely, Oats, (and Lactose)
- Country: United States
This winter seasonal beer pours an opaque black with a generous cap of brown foam. While there are plenty of black, roasty notes in the aroma, there’s a touch of sweet lactose which comes through to balance. On the palate, the malt core is well-constructed, delivering a nice amalgam of deep caramel, dark chocolate, and roasted malt, without the roast being too heavy-handed and veering off toward acrid astringency. This leaves room for the...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 50
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Tulip
- Hops: Bravo. Cascade, Chinook
- Malts: Pale, Wheat, Munich 1, CaraAmber, CaraMunich 1, CaraFoam, CaraMunich 3
- Country: United States
Pouring an attractive reddish-amber hue and capped by a head of persistent tan foam, this IPA looks good in the glass while announcing its not a West Coast-style rendition, nor one of the myriad hazy New England-style IPAs that have caught on in recent years. This one's going to have some deeper malt character. On the nose, we got a nice balance of caramel malt in the undercurrent, overlaid by citrus and floral tones backed up by light...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American Amber Ale
- ABV: 5.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 22
- Serving Temperature: 47-54º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Pilsen, Munich, CaraPils, C15, C60, C80, Chocolate, Aromatic
- Malts: Nugget, Columbus
- Country: United States
Pouring a very deep, rich, hazy, brownish-amber color, it’s quite dark for an amber ale and looks great topped by its robust head of lasting foam. On the nose, look for big notes of lush caramel malts, mild hay and toast, and a touch of graham cracker, all overlaid with earthy and floral hop overtones. In the flavor department, those toasty and slightly nutty caramel malts build a delicious core. Most of River Horse’s beers are bottled...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Double IPA
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 90
- Serving Temperature: 48-53º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Pint Glass
- Hops: Columbus, Simcoe, Crystal, Zythos
- Malts: Pale, Munich 1
- Country: United States
This Double IPA from the Dominion line of beers presents nicely in the glass with a bright copper hue boasting crystal clarity and a robust head of foam which descends to a persistent ring, leaving behind a good deal of sticky lace. The multiple hop varieties contribute plenty of aromatic fireworks; look for a distinct grapefruit-like citrus character, some herbal, pine-like notes, and a ton of soft tropical fruit character suggesting pineapple...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 5.7%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass, Mug
- Hops: Chinook, Falconer's Flight, Centennial, Citra, Wakatu
- Malts: Pilsen, CaraPils, Melanoidin, Honey
- Country: United States
Pouring a rich and hazy amber color topped with ample foam, this IPA offers a very expressive aroma that really drew us in. Brewed with several varieties of hops (and Falconer’s Flight is itself a blend of several varieties), it’s no surprise to find quite a complex array of very fruity aromas including pineapple, orange, mango, passion fruit, tangerine, grapefruit, and even a hint of berry, not to mention floral overtones and a dollop of...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Dortmunder
- ABV: 5.6%
- Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Flute
- Country: Germany
Freising's Jägerbier, meaning "hunter beer", is brewed in the traditional Dortmunder style, also known as Export Lager as it was brewed to a strength suitable for export journeys. Compared to a German Pilsner or Helles Lager, Dortmunder tends to offer the maltier impression and dash of sweetness of the Helles, along with the brighter and more bitter hops of a Pils, and a touch more alcohol. Jägerbier presents a clear, deep golden color with...
- Bottle Size: 500-ml
- Style: German Pilsner
- ABV: 4.9%
- Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Flute
- Hops: Tettnanger
- Country: Germany
The interestingly named CD-Pils is one of Dinkelacker's first. Still bearing the initials of its creator, Carl Dinkelacker, this beer is light and delicately tart. It is brewed using hand selected Bavarian Tettnanger hops—from the most renowned hop cultivating region in the world—and is still made in the heart of Stuttgart as it has been for more than 100 years. Note the pale straw color and crisp, clean taste bursting with floral, spicy hops...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Coconut Baltic Porter aged in Rum Barrels
- ABV: 9%
- Serving Temperature: 52–59° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, Mug, or Nonic Glass
- Country: United States
As one of two Rare Beer Club exclusives this month, we’re thrilled to have gotten Chloe, a rum-barrel-aged coconut Baltic porter from the folks at Broken Bow. We’ve been loving the big beers we’ve had the chance to sample from these folks, and this offers up a number of the aspects that this brewery is doing great. The rum barrel comes through smoothly, with a nice degree of caramelized complexity to it. That Baltic-style porter core is...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Belgian-style Dark Ale w/ raw cacao & candi sugar, conditioned on cacao beans
- ABV: 9.2%
- Serving Temperature: 52–59° F
- Suggested Glassware: Snifter, Tulip, Goblet, or Pinot Glass
- Country: United States
We’ve enjoyed any number of great releases from the folks at Strange Roots Experimental Ales over the past few years, and we wanted to work with them on an exclusive beer for the club—something that would showcase what they’ve been working on in the realms of bigger beers and special adds. The result is Strange Roots’ Ancient Vortex: a Belgian-style dark ale brewed with raw cacao and candi sugar, and conditioned on cacao beans. The malt-forward...
