Shelf Sightings – August 7, 2018

Calling all beer geeks! Here are the beers that hit shelves this week at liquor stores, bottle shops and better grocery stores throughout the St. Louis area. Please contact your favorite retailer for current availability.

 

Status: Annual Release
Brewery: Stone
Name of Beer: W00tstout 2018
Beer Style: Russian Imperial Stout

Description: Front and center this year is the result of Wil’s creative machinations taking the art direction duties with world-renowned fantasy artist Joe Jusko representing our gargoyle’s triumph over the evils in the world of beer. Six years into this amazing w00tstout legacy and I continue to be stunned and humbled by the response of our fans. Sure, it’s an amazingly delicious massive Russian Imperial Stout partially inspired by Kentucky Derby Pie of Drew’s home state. And speaking of Drew, we asked him to lean into two of his strengths: drinking w00tstout and chatting up a storm. So this year he’ll MC our wildly nerd-nominious celebration of beer and geekery known as HopCon/w00tstout release party held annually during San Diego’s Comic-Con. The nerd lives in all of us. Celebrate it! Now is the golden age for us lovers of awesome things. We’re here. We’re vast, and we’ve got great taste. This beer is an ode to you, Fellow Nerd.      22 ounce bottles and 12 ounce bottles

Name of Beer: 30th Anniversary Cherry Stout Reserve
Beer Style: Imperial Stout

Description: This beer is being brewed in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of our Cherry Stout. We brewed a version of this beer in 2001 using oak chips and cherry pits. This time around we have decided to brew this beer with whole cherries, oak chips and comes in at 9.0% alcohol by volume. Cherry Stout was first brewed in 1988 as a nod to a local homebrew club in Kalamazoo, MI. It has grown to be one of the most anticipated beers we brew at the brewery every year. This beer is a celebration of what Cherry Stout means to us.    12 ounce bottles
