Status: Limited
Brewery: Evil Twin

Description: Based on our ‘lost souls’ but we switched the galaxy hops out with another one of our favorites, the beautiful Citra hop! Hazy and juicy with a bright citrusy and tropical flavor. We hope you will dig it as much as we do.    16 ounce can

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Evil Twin
Name of Beer: Molotov Surprise
Beer Style: Imperial IPA
Description: Despite the crudeness it’s tricky to make an effective molotov surprise. Despite its unruly nature it’s tricky to resist a game of fruit themed beer roulette – spin the wheel of Evil Twin 'cause you’re in for a fruity surprise.  12 ounce can

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Stillwater and Oliver
Name of Beer: Whipped
Beer Style: Nitro Double IPA
Description: Nitro DIPA brewed with mango, vanilla and lactose.    16 ounce can

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Modern
Name of Beer: Arkham's Finest
Beer Style: Imperial Stout
Description: Arkham’s Finest is “one smooth talkin’ sex machine”.  This collaboration includes our favorite purveyors of coffee and chocolate, Kuva Coffee Roasters and Rick Jordan Chocolatier. The Kuva Peru Chilchos bean has quite a story itself– Kuva is the only company in the USA to have access to this stellar bean from the Amazon.  And, Rick Jordan being one of the only chocolatiers in Saint Louis to actually roast his own kakao, we are guaranteed a truly unique chocolate made exclusively for us.  The feature flavor notes include the depth from the entire chocolate spectrum (from creamy to dark to bittersweet), and earthy coffee roastiness.       16 ounce can

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Modern
Name of Beer: Odinson
Beer Style: IPA
Description: The name Odinson is traced back to Asgaard (Norse Mythology).  Quite literally, it is the surname of Thor  (Thor, son of Odin).  Much like its very close relative Citrapolis, Odinson is an uncharacteristically drinkable, “Super” IPA.  Flavors and aromas include that of crisp peach and papaya, with hints of other bright tropical citrus fruits.  While both dry and crisp, the juicy characteristics of the Mosaic hop variety leave the mouth watering for more.      16 ounce can

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Deschutes
Name of Beer: The Abyss
Beer Style: Imperial Stout
Description: A deep, dark Imperial Stout, The Abyss has almost immeasurable depth and complexity. Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors make it something not just to quaff, but contemplate. As for the great “drink it now or let it age” debate, we stand clearly on the fence. Distinct and delicious on release, the flavors meld and fuse into an entirely different pleasure after a year or more in the cellar.    22 ounce bottle

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Deschutes
Name of Beer: The Abyss-Rum Barrel Aged
Beer Style: Imperial Stout
Description: To celebrate the 12th anniversary of The Abyss we’ve bottled a 100% Rum barrel-aged version for you to enjoy. This is a remarkably limited release so if you see it, grab a snifter on tap and a bottle (or two)!     22 ounce bottle

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Deschutes
Name of Beer: The Abyss-Tequila Barrel Aged
Beer Style: Imperial Stout
Description: To celebrate the 12th anniversary of The Abyss we’ve bottled a 100% Tequila barrel-aged version for you to enjoy. This is a remarkably limited release so if you see it, grab a snifter on tap and a bottle (or two)!     22 ounce bottle
