And nothing says summer better than biting into a ripe sun-drenched peach picked fresh that morning. In an effort to capture juicy peach flavors in this golden easy-drinking seasonal, we worked hard to make sure the fruit was a good accent to the base beer, bringing balance and allowing the beer flavors to be present. It's perfect for relaxing on the porch this summer. 6 pack bottles |

| Brewery: New Belgium |
| Name of Beer: French Oak Saison |
| Beer Style: Farmhouse Style Ale |
| Description: To understand "Belgian-style beer" is to understand Belgium's nuanced regions and historical past. To the north, we have Flanders, a region invaded and occupied by many foreign powers over hundreds of years, known for everything from white beer to oak-aged sour brown ales. To the south, we have Wallonia, a region known for its rich farmland, industrial coalfields, French culture and farmhouse ales like Biere de Garde and saison. Our French Oak Saison pulls inspiration from both regions by marrying a dry, hop-forward Wallonia-style saison with a golden ale soured in French oak foeders for 15 to 18 months -- a method derived from Flanders. The rye and spelt grains in the saison contribute to a medium-light body while the Huell Melon and Tettnang hops give aromas of honeydew and white pepper. The result is a rustic, goldenrod yellow saison offering pleasant lemon and white grape aromas and a bright, mouthwatering sourness with a clean, dry finish. A true blending of inspirations. 22 ounce bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Sierra Nevada |

| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Deschutes |
| Name of Beer: Swivelhead |
| Beer Style: Red Ale |
| Description: This twist on a traditional red ale gets its herbal hop character from European varietals added in American quantities, with a light melon accent from Australian hops, all resulting in a malty brew without the roast that’s sure to turn heads wherever it’s shared. 6 pack bottles |

| Description: Coffee Brown Ale follows the Brown Ale base style. It is a drier beer with less residual sugar and coloring from special malts, with 5.2% ABV. The highlight of the beer is that we used fermented coffee. We fermented the coffee while it was still green (not roasted) in cachaça oak barrels.

| Brewery: Firestone Walker |
| Name of Beer: Bretta Rose |
| Beer Style: Berliner Weisse |
| Description: Thirty miles north of Barrelworks lies the fertile Santa Maria Valley. Its warm days and cool marine layer-fed evenings allow for a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to be grown in its rich soil. One of Santa Maria’s crown jewels is locally grown raspberries. We jumped at the opportunity to ferment fresh local raspberries with one of our Barrelworks creations. Behold Bretta Rosé! A low-alcohol Berliner Weisse style ale, acidified and matured in French oak puncheons for 6 months, is the foundation for this gem. Add 1000 lbs. of fresh raspberries, allow a secondary wild fermentation for 4 more months and voila (!), we have a crisp effervescent concoction, bursting with raspberry perfume and flavor, a rosé color, bracing acidity, and a clean and refreshing finish. 12.7 ounce bottle |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Great Divide |
| Name of Beer: Nadia Kali |
| Beer Style: Hibiscus Saison |
| Description: Nadia Kali is an inspired saison with cross-cultural influence. Nadia’s ruby pink glow comes from a generous infusion of hibiscus, while ginger root gives it a subtle spice and hint of woodsy maturity, and lemon peel adds a citrus tartness to keep you on your toes. Full of complexity and intrigue, this unfiltered beauty will show you just how deceiving looks can be… 6 pack cans |
