Shelf Sightings – January 26, 2018

Description: Starting with six different hop varietals added to the brew kettle & culminating with a massive dry-hop addition of Simcoe hops, Bell's Hopslam Ale possesses the most complex hopping schedule in the Bell's repertoire. Selected specifically because of their aromatic qualities, these Pacific Northwest varieties contribute a pungent blend of grapefruit, stone fruit and floral notes. A generous malt bill and a solid dollop of honey provide just enough body to keep the balance in check, resulting in a remarkably drinkable rendition of the Double India Pale Ale style.    12 ounce can

Description: The name “Larry’s Latest” is a nod to the spirit of innovation and experimentation that Larry started in 1985 and continues within the brewery to this day. Our latest sour recipe has a refreshingly bright, citrusy tartness combined with pungent tropical aromas.    

Description: Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, brimming with bold flavors of bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops. First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic beer brewed in the barleywine style, meaning a strong, robust, bruiser of a beer with the refined intensity of a wine. Bigfoot is prized by beer collectors for its supreme cellarability. Under the proper conditions, it can age like a fine wine, developing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle. Each new release or “expedition” is vintage dated. Collect your own and see the flavors develop and progress.  6 pack bottles

Description: This juicy and hazy style was developed by some smaller breweries in New England a few years back, basically its a lower IBU unfiltered double IPA. Still has huge dry hop aroma but doesn’t kill your pallet with bitterness.   6 pack bottles

Description: Due to the generous use of Centennial Hops, the beer will have a lot of citrus & some floral character in both the aroma and flavor profile. The beer comes in at 5.7% and 55 IBU. It was a crowd favorite at the pub last year, so we are excited to offer it into distribution with both cans and draft in 2018!    4 pack 16 oz. cans   

Description: Our brewer’s were inspired by the trade winds to create this smooth, refreshing blonde ale with the adventures of summer in mind. After a day riding the winds over shimmering waters, Kanaha Blonde ale is a bright, sessionable beer that will ease you ashore without weighing you down. Real mango fruit adds a juicy, tropical flavor that is easy like the islands. This crisp Kona brew will take you up, up and away.     6 pack bottles  

Description: Double dry hopped double IPA.     16 ounce can

Description: A classic fruit forward Saison with an herbal hop character, a mild tartness on the palate and subtle hint of funk in the aroma.    16 ounce can

Description: “Neb” is a home brew recipe that has been scaled up with no consideration to economies of scale. Some say idiotic, and as an economist I would have to agree. Get fresh or die trying.    16 ounce can

Description: Chug Life is an American-style adjunct lager is a crisp, clean, carbed-up, crusher of a beer. A semi-sweet malt character is balanced by a large amount of carbonic-acid for a frothy, sparkling mouthfeel. Dry-hopped with just a touch of Centennial because we couldn’t help ourselves. Engineered to be the most quaffable bottled beer, Chug Life should be drank directly from the bottle. Do you live that life?     500 ml bottle
 

Description: Brewed for the KISW radio program of the same name, Men’s Room is amber in color with a light hop aroma and a toasty malt finish. Brewed with crisp 77 Crystal, Munich, Cara-hell, Cara-red, and Cara- vienne, bittered with Chinook and finished with Cascade.     6 pack bottles
