Brewery: Schlafly |
Name of Beer: Raspberry Chipotle Brown Ale |
Beer Style: Brown Ale |
Description: Raspberry Chipotle Brown Ale (5.9%, 24 IBUs) is brewed with fresh raspberry and jalapeño. The beer overflows with fresh fruit and a distinct, earthy pepper within a robust, malty brown ale. The generally temperate Brown Ale style enjoys prominence among the two assertive ingredients, raspberry and chipotle (smoked, dried jalapeño). Hoppiness is kept in check while the spicy, sweet and smoky flavors play off each other with graceful deference. 750 ml bottle |

Name of Beer: Straight Outta Newport |
Beer Style: Imperial IPA |
Description: Dedicated to the Oregon Coast. We set out to brew a huge West Coast IPA which would repeatedly and increasingly satisfy the thirstiest hop heads.

Brewery: Sierra Nevada |
Name of Beer: Hazy Little Thing |
Beer Style: IPA |
Description: As brewers, we get the privilege to sample our beers straight from the tanks in all their raw glory. Some beers need a little polishing to get ready to go out into the world, while others—the hop-heavy, rowdy, crowd-pleasers—should just be left alone. We wanted to share this brewery-only treat with you, so we present this Hazy Little Thing, our unfiltered, unprocessed IPA, straight from the tanks and into the can. 6 pack cans |

Status: Limited |
Brewery: Boulevard |
Name of Beer: Rye on Rye |
Beer Style: Barrel-Aged Rye Ale |
Description: Why Rye? This assertively flavorful grain is more often associated with whiskey than with ales. Even in that arena, it has largely been eclipsed by corn and barley, the sources of bourbon and scotch. But when we procured some seasoned barrels from our friends at Templeton Rye, we asked ourselves, “Why not?” Why not brew a rich, tawny rye ale, then mellow it in the warmth of charred oak rye whiskey casks? Two kinds of malted rye provide spicy sweetness, giving way to notes of vanilla, charred oak and the citrusy tang of Citra and Styrian Golding hops before easing into a dry, lingering finish. 12 ounce bottle |

Status: New! |
Brewery: Boulevard |
Name of Beer: Flora Obscura |
Beer Style: Dry-Hopped Porter |
Description: Flora Obscura, literally dark flower, features massive dry-hopping, with Simcoe, Cascade, Amarillo, Mosaic and Galaxy hops over a robust porter base composed of two-row pale malt, two varieties of caramel malt, raw wheat and chocolate malt. Originally born as a test beer for our Tours & Rec Center, Flora Obscura explores the interplay of hops suggestive of orange, grapefruit and tropical fruit flavors with rich chocolate and espresso notes provided by roasted malts. 6 pack bottles |

Status: Limited |
Brewery: Charleville |
Name of Beer: Box of Chocolate |
Beer Style: Quadrupel |
Description: It’s difficult to express love’s nuances much like the complexity of this Belgian style chocolate quad. You might use a box of chocolate to express your love; we use it to demonstrate our passion for great beer. 6 pack bottles |
