| Brewery: Tallgrass |
| Name of Beer: One-Eyed Jacques |
| Beer Style: Belgian-Style Stout |
| Description: With big, roasted malt character and notes of bitter dark chocolate and coffee, One-Eyed Jacques goes rogue from the fleet of stouts with bold fruity esters, and raisin and fig-like qualities from Belgian yeast and Belgian candi sugar used in the brew. It’s everything you’d want in a stout — dark, rich and full-bodied — all with distinct Belgian character with an underlying sweetness and slight spice. 4 pack cans |
| Status: Returning Seasonal |
| Brewery: Left Hand |
| Name of Beer: Fade to Black |
| Beer Style: Foreign Stout |
| Description: That time of year when the day seems to fade away. Drifting further into the darkness with each passing day. Volume 1 – Foreign Stout – Pours black with licorice, espresso bean, molasses, and black cardamom notes that give way to a feeling of self loathing, burnt opportunities and smoked relationships. 6 pack cans |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Sierra Nevada |
| Name of Beer: Sidecar |
| Beer Style: Orange Pale Ale |
| Description: We love hops with a bright, citrus-heavy character. We always wondered what it would be like to punch up the citrus while maintaining a crisp hop bite and balance. The result is this new take on the hoppy pale ale brewed with Cascade, Equinox, and Mandarina hops with a hint of orange peel from additions in both the brew kettle and the fermenter that tweak the classic hop profile and add a zesty pop of bright orange flavor. 6 pack bottles |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Sierra Nevada |
| Name of Beer: Tropical Torpedo |
| Beer Style: India Pale Ale |
| Description: Inspired by the island life, we created an IPA completely disconnected from the mainland. We used our one-of-a-kind Hop Torpedo to deliver an intense rush of hop flavor and the lush aromas of mango, papaya, and passion fruit with every sip. Enjoy our tropical twist on the American IPA. 6 pack bottles |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Sierra Nevada |
| Name of Beer: Beer Camp Golden IPA |
| Beer Style: India Pale Ale |
| Description: At Beer Camp, no beer style is off limits, so we jumped at the idea of doing a Golden IPA using wheat malt for a light, dry body and bold American and experimental hops for intense citrus flavor. The perfect spring seasonal, we invite you to enjoy this year’s Beer Camp encore. 6 pack bottles |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Hermitage |
| Name of Beer: Ryetopia |
| Beer Style: Barleywine |
| Description: Ryetopia has been, literally, a year in the making. This beer is the first, of hopefully many, beers that will come from our barrel aging program. Ryetopia was brewed with a generous portion of malted and crystal rye, which lends a spicy complexity to the beer. To balance out the malt flavors, Ryetopia was hopped with Bravo, Apollo, and Cascade hops. Aged in Kentucky bourbon barrels, this is a smooth sipper of a beer that will age well in the years to come. According to HBC Head Brewer Greg Filippi has this to say about the beer. Ryetopia is our homage to the delicious yet often overlooked rye malt. We started with a big bold barleywine style ale, then beefed it up with a healthy dose of rye malt and crystal rye (about 16% of the total grist). Rye is known for its dry, slightly spicy flavor in beer. Crystal rye goes through a different malting process which converts some of the starches in the grain into simpler sugars before we add it to our mash. This results in a sweeter flavor, adding hints of licorice and toffee to the finished beer. 750 ml bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Hermitage |
| Name of Beer: Wild Blackberry |
| Beer Style: Sour Ale |
| Description: Our Wild Blackberry American Sour pours a lovely deep purple with a pinkish foam stand, with a slight haze that lets enough light through to beautifully illuminate your glass. Aromas of oak, vanilla, light smoke, and dark fruits remind you of long aging in oak. The blackberries are noticeable on the nose but not overpowering, hinting at jammy sweetness. The first sip, although puckering, softens quickly as the sweet and tart blackberries commingle with the complexity of the barrel maturation -- notes of tannic oak, dark stone fruit, tobacco, vanilla, and a little horsey funk. The flavors continue to develop and change with each sip. The finish is fast and very dry, leaving your taste buds as aggressively as it arrived. 750 ml bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Hermitage |
| Name of Beer: Blood Orange |
| Beer Style: Sour Ale |
| Description: We blended beautiful blood oranges into a tart and refreshing blonde ale and aged it in our cellar for 18 months. 750 ml bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Hermitage |
| Name of Beer: Strawberry Rhubarb |
| Beer Style: Sour Ale |
| Description: Our latest sour release from the Hermitage Barrel Cellar takes us back to Grandma's kitchen with the classic combination of Strawberries and Rhubarb. The beer pours a very hazy amber color, with a rosy, pinkish hue from the pureed strawberry floating in suspension. You may see a small amount of pink sediment in the bottom. We searched for only the sweetest strawberries to add to this one, and the juicy aroma of those delicious fruits wafts commandingly off the glass. The lovely essence of California wine barrels mingles with the strawberry, highlighted by hints of barrel-aged funkiness. The first sip is a bit of a surprise, as the super-tart Rhubarb makes itself known. Next comes the tannic character of the barrels and a moderate dose of Brett- and Lacto- induced funk. The beer is definitely sour but not puckering, and as it warms in your hand the strawberries move closer and closer to the front of the stage. The finish is tart and dry, with hints of strawberry lingering between sips. Smooth and refreshing, great for a summer day. 750 ml bottle |
