Barrel Beard and Tattoo Oil

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: New Format
Brewery: Perennial Artisan Ales
Name of Beer: Saison De Lis
Beer Style: Saison

Description: A straw colored Belgian-style Saison brewed with chamomile flowers. It is fermented with a traditional saison yeast strain that imparts fruity and spicy notes that dovetail perfectly with the tea-like quality of the chamomile. Finishes dry, tart, and refreshing.      4 pack cans

 

 

Status: New!
Brewery: 4 Hands
Name of Beer: City Museum Pils
Beer Style: Pilsner

Description: Pilsner with tangerine and ginger.      4 pack cans

 

 

Status: New!
Brewery: Stone
Name of Beer: Totalitarian
Beer Style: Imperial Stout

Description: Built from the backbone of Stone's classic Imperial Russian Stout, Stone Totalitarian Imperial Russian Stout certainly celebrates the hallmarks of the style - it pours jet-black with a fluffy chocolate head and tastes of deeply dark fruit flavors with rich chocolate and coffee overtones. Yet, however old world in nature, this particular rendition of an IRS is flavored with new world hops, intensifying its berry flavors and aroma while subtly introducing a juicy melon undertone. The result is a spectacularly sinful delight. Don't say we didn't warn you, comrade.    6 pack bottles

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: 2nd Shift
Name of Beer: OG Haze Craze
Beer Style: Weiss Bier

Description: This is a throwback to the original haze craze, the German weissbier. The aroma pops with bananas and a slight bit a clove. This beer pours hazy and is pale straw in color. The flavor is a bit biscuity with a slight sweetness thanks to the malt.     16 ounce can

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Old Bakery
Name of Beer: Pour Over
Beer Style: Coffee IPA

Description: India pale ale with coffee added.     16 ounce can

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Charleville
Name of Beer: Barleywine (2104)
Beer Style: Barleywine

Description: Sip, Sit or Stand. The choice is yours, with one thing for certain, age defines grace. Our Barleywine style ale has proved to be no exception to this rule. Two Row Barley, Crystal malt, and Munich malt all prepare the canvas for an entourage of hops that will enlighten your pallet. Enjoy today and Savor tomorrow.    12 ounce bottle

 

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Nebraska
Name of Beer: Mother Of All Bettys
Beer Style: Imperial Stout

Description: This Monster Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout takes ‘Betty’ to a whole new level. We’ve used twice as much grain and double mashed it, so this beer gets all of its stickiness, sweetness and alcohol from the malt, and not any extra sugar additions. We then we add an aggressive amount of Warrior hops to balance the sweetness of all that malt! Finally, we aged this beer for 6 months in a careful blend of 4 different American Craft Bourbon barrels.     16.9 ounce bottle
