- Suggested Glassware: Tulip or Snifter
- Hops: Millennium, Chinook
- Malts: 2-Row, Wheat, Crystal 80, Chocolate, Roasted Barley
- Country: United States
The Shed’s Mountain Ale is their flagship offering, and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. Brewed in the style of an English Strong Ale, which one could think of as a sort of bolder, boozier brown or amber ale, this brew pours a gorgeous deep red hue capped by a crop of light beige foam that drops to a persistent collar. Look for a complex aroma that’s at once richly malty, fruity, and somewhat hoppy. We picked up underlying touches of...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: English Pale Ale
- ABV: 5.2%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 38
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Cascade, Mt. Hood, Golding
- Malts: English 2-Row
- Country: United States
This is Geary’s flagship pale ale, brewed since 1986 – a time when the U.S.’s craft brewing renaissance was still embryonic and beers of this type were still a novelty. In fact, Food & Wine named this beer to their list of 25 Most Important American Craft Beers Ever Brewed. This English-style pale ale pours an attractive amber color with a robust cap of fine-bubbled khaki foam. In the aroma, look for delicate, lightly toasted biscuit malt...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Witbier
- ABV: 5.1%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 11
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Flute, Tulip, Pint Glass
- Hops: Millennium
- Malts: 2-Row, Wheat, Carapils
- Country: United States
This beer is crafted to be a blend of the old and new worlds. It’s a witbier, a Belgian-style unfiltered “white beer” that’s typically brewed with citrus peel and coriander – but this one is brewed with all American-sourced ingredients, including an American ale yeast strain. On the pour, we get a nicely bright golden orange hue that’s well hazed per the style, topped by a head of lively foam. The coriander and California orange peel additions...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: British Golden Ale
- ABV: 6.0%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 36
- Serving Temperature: 40-45º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Nugget, Sterling, Golding
- Malts: English 2-Row
- Country: United States
Available seasonally, Maine’s Summer Ale is a perfect companion to the warmer half of the year. Expect an ample just-off-white head on the pour, capping a brew that’s pale but still sporting a bit more color than many other blonde summer ales. On the nose we found the malts lightly sweet with some mild caramel and crackery tones, and a very mild toastiness. Notes of apple can be found as well, with the hops offering a distinctly earthy and...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: New England Hazy IPA
- ABV: 5.5%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 40
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra
- Malts: Blend of US & Import Malts
- Country: United States
This hazy IPA from Geary presents a golden copper color with a medium level of haze, capped by a rocky head of off-white foam. Luscious hop aromas make themselves known as soon as we pop this open. Look for prominent citrus fruits to evoke orange and grapefruit, plus herbal tones with a pine element, and soft tropical fruits. Light touches of underlying caramelization lurk below. In the flavor, some mild toast, cracker, and light caramel...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: New England Hazy IPA
- ABV: 6.6%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 40
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: Citra, Calypso, Ekuanot, Chinook
- Malts: 2-Row, Wheat, Carapils
- Country: United States
The Shed’s Mountain Hazy IPA presents a well-hazed golden color in the glass, topped with quite a fluffy head of off-white foam. Look for lots of fruity hops in the aroma department; we picked up a nice mix of tropical and citrus notes with touches of apple, pear, and secondary tones of melon and stone fruits. As with many good Hazy IPAs, it’s a multifaceted aroma profile that keeps one engaged by seeming to offer a little bit of everything. The...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 7.2%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 65
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Tulip, Pint Glass
- Hops: Mosaic, Bravo, Cascade
- Malts: American 2-Row
- Country: United States
This unfiltered IPA presents a bright orange-gold color that’s lightly hazed, capped by a robust head that drops some lace as we drink this down. This is a Mosaic-heavy IPA, and as such it’s no surprise we get a complex aroma profile, especially when joined with expressive Bravo and classic Cascade hops. Appealing notes of candied and zesty citrus along with tropical fruits lead the way, with some secondary hints of berry, a sweet floral...
- Bottle Size: 330-ml
- Style: Kölsch
- ABV: 4.8%
- Serving Temperature: 40-45° F
- Suggested Glassware: Kölsch Glass (Stange), Flute, Pilsner Glass
- Country: Germany
Kölsch is a classic German beer style that originated in Cologne (Köln), in western Germany, and it’s the defining beer style of the city. It’s a bit of a hybrid as it’s made with top-fermenting ale yeast, but then cold conditioned like lager. Früh’s Kölsch is among the most popular in the city, and is still produced according to Peter Josef Früh’s original recipe. On the pour, we’re presented with a bright pale golden hue with perfect clarity...
- Bottle Size: 16-oz
- Style: ESB (Extra Special Bitter)
- ABV: 4.7%
- Serving Temperature: 48-55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Hops: Bobek, Golding, Cascade
- Country: England
This traditional English brew presents a rich brownish amber on the pour, with crystal clarity and a sizable head of beige foam that laces as it drops. Look for the beer’s maltiness to jump out in the aroma with prominent notes of caramel, toffee, and lightly buttered toasted bread. Overlaying the malts we find touches of woody, earthy, and lightly citric hops. As we expect for ESBs and English Pale Ales, this brew delivers an excellent...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Imperial Milk Stout with Chocolate and Vanilla
- ABV: 11.5%
- Serving Temperature: 50–57° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Snifter, or Teku Glass
- Country: United States
Perennial’s Prodigal stout pours a deep, opaque black, capped with thick, creamy, medium-brown foam, that lingers on. This one’s clearly a serious stout with modest retention of foam and a good amount of lacing left around the perimeter of our glasses. This imperial stout is impressively full-bodied, with a viscosity similar to Perennial’s 17 Mint-Chocolate Stout. It has the appearance and feel of a nightcap beer, which is definitely...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Multi-Grain Honey Saison w/ Lemon Peel and Coriander
- ABV: 5.2%
- Serving Temperature: 47–53° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Teku, or Pinot Noir Glass
- Country: Canada
This month we’re excited to be able to offer our Rare Beer Club members an exclusive import from the folks at Brasserie Dunham. Propolis is a honey saison brewed with lemon peel and coriander, in a long series of delicious beers created by Dunham. Propolis is brewed with rye, wheat, and oats with a small amount of fall honey, lemon peel, and coriander. Propolis is lightly hopped and gets fermented with Dunham’s house blend of farmhouse ale...
