Unmatched Variety by style, brewery & country
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: Czech Pilsner
- ABV: 5.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 15
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass
- Hops: Tettnang, Saaz
- Malts: Pilsen, Munich, Dextra-Pils
- Country: United States
This Bohemian-style pils pours a brilliant pale golden color capped by a head of bright white foam. On the nose, look for the classic aromas one expects from a pilsner hopped with traditional Tettnanger and Saaz noble hops; we picked up soft floral tones plus some herbal spice, underscored by mild bready malt notes. That maltiness comes through fairly robustly in the flavor with prominent crackery notes forming a sturdy backbone. Those...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American Pale Wheat Ale w/ Orange Peel
- ABV: 4.6%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 9
- Serving Temperature: 40-45º F
- Suggested Glassware: Flute, Pint Glass
- Hops: Magnum, Crystal
- Malts: 2-Row, Wheat
- Country: United States
This brew is a rework of O’so’s previous GABF Gold medal winning wheat ale, The Big O. Why revise a gold medal winner? When the opportunity for improvement presents itself, why not take it? The brewers at O’so now brew this beer with Voss Kveik yeast, an intriguing Norwegian strain known for producing a good deal of orangey citrus esters, particularly at high fermentation temps. The Big 2.0 presents a bright golden orange color with a crop...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Session IPA
- ABV: 5.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: Cascade, Citra, Centennial, CTZ
- Malts: 2-Row, Munich, Crystal, Dextra-Pils
- Country: United States
Silver medal winner at both the Washington Beer Awards and Sip Northwest's "Best of the NW," this IPA from Sumerian presents an attractive golden hue capped by a head of off-white foam. As one would expect for a Citra-focused IPA, there's a prominent citrus character in the aroma delivering an amalgam of tangerine, orange, and grapefruit. Look also for additional hints of pine, honey, and citrus blossoms. On the palate, we enjoyed...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American Amber/Red Ale
- ABV: 5.4%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 17
- Serving Temperature: 42-47º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Magnum
- Malts: 2-Row, Munich, Vienna, Specialty Malts
- Country: United States
Pouring an attractive reddish-amber hue with crystal clarity and a robust head with good retention, Rusty Red offers up plenty of malt-centric aromas. Look for notes of caramel, toasted bread crust, a hint of brown bread, and a mild nutty and roasty impression. We picked up a light undertone of red fruit along with a floral hop note and a hint of candied orange. On the palate, this red ale continues with the malty theme, developing plenty of...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Double IPA
- ABV: 8.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 95
- Serving Temperature: 47-52º F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter
- Hops: Cascade, Centennial, Mosaic, Citra
- Malts: 2-Row, Munich, C15
- Country: United States
Winner of several awards including a gold medal at the Washington Beer Awards and a Double Gold from Sip Northwest's "Best of the Northwest," this double IPA has certainly delivered the hardware, but can it deliver the flavor? You bet! Pouring a medium amber and capped by a well-lacing head of beige foam, Hopruption offers up quite the expressive hop aroma. Look for notes of candied citrus, ripe tropical fruits, perfumed floral tones, and...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American Pale Ale
- ABV: 5.6%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 45
- Serving Temperature: 43-48º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: Summit, Cascade
- Malts: 2-Row, Munich
- Country: United States
This pale ale presents a medium copper-amber color topped by a fluffy and very persistent head of foam that laces nicely as it recedes. On the nose, look for a fairly complex array of aromas; we picked up plenty of herbal and piney notes melded to floral tones and a prominent variety of fruity notes including candied citrus, apricot-like stone fruits, and even some berry hints. Flavorwise, there's a fairly robust malt core offering a satisfying...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Tmavé Pivo / Czech Dark Lager
- ABV: 4.7%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Mug, Stein, Flute
- Country: Czech Republic
Second in popularity only to Czech/Bohemian Pilsner in the Czech Republic is the traditional style known as “Tmavé Pivo” – literally “dark beer” – known also to us English speakers as Czech Dark Lager. For those familiar with dark German styles like Schwarzbier and Dunkel Lager, it’s similar, but somewhat maltier and fuller in body than its German counterparts. Lev Black Lion is Pivovar Havlíčkův Brod’s version, and it unsurprisingly...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Maibock
- ABV: 5.9%
- Serving Temperature: 42-48° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute
- Country: Czech Republic
The brewery describes Gold Lion as a pale double bock, but we think it makes more sense to think of this more as a riff on the Maibock or Heller Bock style, albeit with a lighter than average ABV. Expect a very attractive beer in the glass, presenting a crystal clear, rich golden color capped with a large crop of white foam. Grassy, earthy hop aromas come forward immediately, underpinned by some pils malt that lends a bit of a crackery...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
- ABV: 10%
- Serving Temperature: 50–57° F
- Suggested Glassware: Snifter, Small Nonic, or Tulip Glass
- Country: United States
This lush imperial stout has been aged in charred American oak bourbon barrels, and both the barrel character and that main imperial stout are exceptionally handled. (In fact… their Barrel House was specifically built around the production needs of Dark Hollow.) This one’s usually just available in Virginia...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Belgian-Style Dubbel
- ABV: 7%
- Serving Temperature: 47–54° F
- Suggested Glassware: Chalice, Goblet, or Tulip Glass
- Country: United States
Barrel of Monks’ Abbey Terno is named as a play on the Latin phrase Ab Aeterno, meaning “from eternity” or “since the beginning.” This featured beer is a timeless Belgian-style brown ale brewed with candi sugar, adding notes of toffee, dried fruit, and a hint of chocolate—for an end result that’s dry and superbly drinkable...
