Shelf Sightings – November 10, 2017

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: Returning Seasonal
Brewery: Urban Chestnut
Name of Beer: Kinsale
Beer Style: Foreign Extra Stout
Description: Foreign Extra Stout was originated by the Brits, but it has undoubtedly become an Irish–perfected, Caribbean-loved style of beer. Hence the name Kinsale, which is a town in southern Ireland that boasts a sister town of the same name on the Caribbean isle of Montserrat. Initially brewed to withstand the tropical climates of the West Indies colonies, this generously hopped, black beer boasts a high ABV that’s full of roasted malt flavors. Our version leans toward the creamy/sweet side vs. the dry/bitter side.       4 pack cans

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Deschutes
Name of Beer: The Dissident
Beer Style: Belgian Style Brown Ale
Description: Introducing our wildest brew yet, The Dissident 2017 is a distinctive Belgian-style brown ale. Fermented with wild yeast, we have to isolate this brew so as not to influence the others. Otherwise, we might have anarchy on our hands. So, here’s to solitary confinement.    22 ounce bottle

 

Status: Returning Seasonal
Brewery: Sierra Nevada
Name of Beer: Celebration
Beer Style: Fresh Hop IPA
Description: The start of Celebration season is a festive event. We can’t start brewing until the first fresh hops have arrived, but once they have the season is officially under way! First brewed in 1981, Celebration Ale is one of the earliest examples of an American-style IPA and one of the few hop-forward holiday beers. Famous for its intense citrus and pine aromas, Celebration is bold and intense, featuring Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops—honoring everything we have at Sierra Nevada.    6 pack bottles
Status: Returning Seasonal
Brewery: Odell
Name of Beer: Mountain Standard
Beer Style: Imperial Black IPA
Description: As winter sets in we embrace the darkness with this Black IPA—released as Daylight Savings falls back to MST. We brew it with hops handpicked on Colorado’s Western Slope. The assertive American hop profile and roasted malt character balance perfectly with just a touch of bitterness. Go ahead. Give in to the dark side.    6 pack cans

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Goose Island
Name of Beer: Cooper Project No. 3
Beer Style: Imperial Porter
Description: Bourbon barrel aged porter.    4 pack bottles

 

Status: Restock
Brewery: Crane
Name of Beer: Tea Weiss
Beer Style: Berliner Weisse
Description: A distinctly American take on an old-world German ale, Tea Weiss combines Kansas City’s own Hugo Berry Rooibos Tea with a spritzy, sour wheat beer to exceedingly refreshing effect.    750 ml bottle

 

Status: New!
Brewery: Latitude 42
Name of Beer: Red Beard's
Beer Style: India Red Ale
Description: A cross between a NW Red Ale and an India Pale Ale, this dark amber brew uses a variety of crystal, 2-row, and Munich malts with generous additions of amarillo, centennial, and simcoe hops. 6.8% ABV.    4 pack cans

 

Status: Restock
Brewery: Rogue
Name of Beer: Hazelutely Choctabulous

Status: Returning Seasonal
Brewery: Uinta
Name of Beer: Rise & Pine
Beer Style: Black IPA
Description: Juniper and piney hops build the framework for this bold dark ale. With its assertive bitterness and smooth malt finish, this beer stands tall above the rest.    6 pack cans

 

Status: Returning Seasonal
Brewery: Boulevard
Name of Beer: Snow & Tell
Beer Style: Scotch Ale
Description: A perfect winter beer for curling up by the fireplace, this malt blanket features prominent toffee and caramel notes with just a hint of smoked malt. A subtle spiciness is provided by hopping with Magnum, Chinook and Styrian Goldings.    6 pack bottles

Brewery: New Holland
Name of Beer: Cabin Fever
