This Oktoberfest-style märzenbier pours a medium amber hue with good clarity and a head of light beige foam. On the nose, we get some pleasant lightly caramelized bready notes conjuring biscuit and graham cracker, all adorned with subtle noble-esque hop touches bringing hints of grassy and lightly floral spice. In the flavor, there’s a wonderful malt expression with prominent toasted bread impressions with a backing touch of residual malt...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Amber Lager

- Serving Temperature: 42-47º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass
- Hops: Herkules, Mt. Hood
- Malts: Pale, White Wheat, Crystal 60, Flaked Corn
- Country: United States
As soon as you pop this brew open and pour it into your glass you’ll notice it’s not your typical pale lager as it presents an attractive coppery amber color and offers some quite interesting aromas. On the nose, there’s a moderate maltiness and an unexpectedly fruity quality, merging with a largely grassy and floral hop profile. On the palate, Lucky Bucket’s Pre-Prohibition Lager opens with a somewhat tart juicy note with a mild lemony...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: German-style Pilsner

- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 35
- Serving Temperature: 40-45º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass
- Hops: Herkules, Mt. Hood, Triple Pearl
- Malts: Pilsner
- Country: United States
Brickway’s Pilsner presents a bright golden color in the glass with good clarity and a head of energetic and rocky white foam. In the aroma, look for a touch of lightly bready malt overlaid by moderate hoppy tones tending toward mild lemony citrus, grassiness, and some herbal spice. On the palate we found the core malt component quite tasty, with a nice bready character joined by the slightest perception of toastiness. The hop contribution...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Festbier
- ABV: 5.8%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 20
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass, Flute, Mug, Stein
- Hops: Herkules, Mt. Hood
- Malts: Pilsner, Vienna, Munich, Amber
- Country: United States
Traditionally brewed in March (März), Märzen, the original Oktoberfest beer style, was brewed with more malt than usual (which yields more fermentable sugars, which in turn yields more alcohol) in order to beef the beer up to survive storage through the summer months when it was generally too hot to brew. Since the 1990s, the beer commonly served at Oktoberfest has been the somewhat lighter and paler sub-style known as Festbier...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: New England-style Hazy IPA
- ABV: 5.8%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 10
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Tulip, Pint Glass
- Hops: Mosaic, Bravo, Aloma, Azacca
- Malts: 2-Row, Red Wheat, Flaked Oats
- Country: United States
Pouring a super cloudy orange color with a large and lasting cap of foam, this Hazy IPA certainly looks the part. Big tropical notes of passion fruit and guava come forth in the aroma, backed up by stone fruits leaning toward peach, along with some tangerine-esque citrus tones. The first thing we noticed on the palate was how creamy and pillowy smooth this is, thanks no doubt to the big haziness. As expected, those juicy hop aromas burst...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American Pale Ale
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 40
- Serving Temperature: 43-48º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Pint Glass
- Hops: Cascade, Columbus
- Malts: Pale, Crystal 30, Munich
- Country: United States
First made as a homebrew to celebrate the life of Zac Triemert’s dad Jerry, who passed from cancer in 2000, Jerry’s Pale Ale is a fitting tribute and one of our favorite American Pale Ales we’ve encountered within recent memory. There’s a deep golden hue on the pour, topped by a persistent head of lasting foam. On the nose, look for pleasantly fruity hop aromas to jump out right away, ushering forth impressions of orangey citrus and soft...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: American IPA
- ABV: 6.3%
- Int’l Bittering Units (IBUs): 50
- Serving Temperature: 45-50º F
- Suggested Glassware: IPA Glass, Tulip, Pint Glass
- Hops: Columbus, Simcoe, Citra
- Malts: 2-Row, Crystal 30
- Country: United States
This well-crafted IPA offers up a hazy amber color with a sizeable, fluffy, off-white head that drops plenty of lace as you drink down the glass. But as good as it looks, it’s nothing compared to the big, luscious, and complex hoppy aroma (not surprising given the 3 different hop varietals used in this brew) replete with very floral, resinous, and grapefruit-like citric zest notes. Underneath, strong pale and caramel malty aromas come through...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Baltic Porter
- ABV: 6.0%
- Serving Temperature: 50-55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Country: Iceland
This baby is Einstök’s interpretation of a Baltic Porter – a bold, roasty style made with lager yeast – although Einstök’s is a bit lighter that typical strength at just 6% ABV. On the pour, we’re greeted by an extremely dark, densely opaque black capped by some fluffy tan foam. The layer of yeast at the bottom of our bottles implies an unfiltered and/or bottle-conditioned brew. On the nose, expect plenty of dark roast notes with a bit of an...
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
- Style: Pale Ale
- ABV: 5.6%
- Serving Temperature: 45-50° F
- Suggested Glassware: Pint Glass or Mug
- Country: Iceland
Amber-copper on the pour, this “Arctic” pale ale is brewed with a combination of Cascade, perhaps the most quintessentially American hop, and Northern Brewer and Hallertau Tradition, which add a more British and Central European vibe. It’s an interesting mix that’s not trying to be an American-style pale ale, nor an English-style pale ale, nor a European-style pale ale or lager, but something reminiscent of them all yet unique unto itself. On...
- Bottle Size: 750-ml
- Style: Belgian-style Ale w/Milk Sugar, Almonds, and Earl Grey Tea
- ABV: 8.5%
- Serving Temperature: 48–55° F
- Suggested Glassware: Chalice, Goblet, Tulip, or Teku Glass
- Country: United States
Girl Grey was first made in 2018 with Top Chef and friend of the Bruery, Brooke Williamson. Girl Grey is a standout example of how The Bruery blends traditional brewing techniques with innovative flavor profiles, reflecting their dedication to pushing boundaries. This Belgian-style ale, infused with the distinctive notes of Earl Grey tea, showcases the brewery’s ability to merge unexpected ingredients while maintaining balance and complexity.
- Bottle Size: 16-oz
- Style: Imperial Stout with Vanilla and Tangerine
- ABV: 10.7%
- Serving Temperature: 49–56° F
- Suggested Glassware: Tulip, Globe Snifter, Chalis, or Small Nonic
- Country: United States
The Japas Ni Dois pours deep black with a thick, tan-colored head. The head has good retention, leaving behind an intricate, church window-like lacing on the glass. Its opacity is almost impenetrable, reflecting the richness of a classic Russian Imperial Stout. The aroma is intense and layered. Upfront, there’s a strong presence of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and espresso, with a hint of char. The Brazilian Cerrado vanilla adds a rich, sweet...
