| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Latitude 42 |
| Name of Beer: Mayan Sunrise |
| Beer Style: Mexican Chocolate Stout |
| Description: American Stout Brewed with six different malts, oats, lactose for a silky mouthfeel and horizon hops to complement the earthy, spicy, undertones of the ale. We used 100% Mexican Chocolate, Guajillo and Ancho Chili's in the boil along with cinnamon and habaneros in the conditioning tank for a cold soak to top all off with 6 gallons of espresso beans. 4 pack cans |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Bell's |
| Name of Beer: Arabicadabra |
| Beer Style: Coffee Milk Stout |
| Description: A little brewers' magic transforms locally roasted Arabica beans and a variety of specialty malts into a creamy, intense coffee stout. Enjoy before it disappears. Arabicadabra is brewed with a cold coffee extract made at the brewery using a combination of fair trade, organic Nicaraguan coffee beans and Sumatra coffee beans. Lactose is also used for creaminess (those with dairy allergies or sensitivities should take note). It was inspired by Milchkaffe, another specialty Bell's beer. 6 pack bottles |
| Status: Returning Seasonal |
| Brewery: Bell's |
| Name of Beer: Stout |
| Beer Style: Stout Brewed With Cherry Juice |
| Description: Tinted ruby-black, Cherry Stout gains its signature tartness from 100% Montmorency cherries grown in Michigan's Traverse City region. Rather than doubling up on sweetness, this tart cherry varietal serves as a counterpoint to the warm, dark chocolate notes from the malt bill. Lightly hopped for balance, this stout is one of the cornerstones of our stout portfolio. 6 pack bottles |
| Status: New! |
| Brewery: Boulevard |
| Name of Beer: Bundle Up |
| Beer Style: Barleywine |
| Description: Baby, it’s cold outside – come in and cozy up with our antidote to winter. Our first Barleywine, this big, bold beer features complex layers of caramel malt for an intense, warming presence. A liberal dose of spicy, piney American hops balances the blend, giving way to sweet, lingering notes of rum and raisin. 750 ml bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Ballast Point |
| Name of Beer: Mocha Marlin |
| Beer Style: Porter |
| Description: Our Black Marlin Porter is the perfect beer for a mocha mashup. The addition of coffee and cocoa plays perfectly off the roasty, chocolaty flavors of this English porter, while a hint of vanilla smooths it all out. It’s full-bodied, but not too sweet; try it for breakfast…or dessert. 22 ounce bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Ballast Point |
| Name of Beer: Coconut Victory At Sea |
| Beer Style: Imperial Porter |
| Description: This Coconut Ballast Point Victory at Sea takes our popular Imperial Porter to another place. We added sweet roasted coconut to our robust porter brewed with Caffe Calabria coffee and vanilla, the perfect complement to this beer’s subtly roasty intensity. A favorite at our annual Ballast Point Victory at Sea Day, but it’s worth enjoying anytime you need to be transported. 22 ounce bottle |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Founders |
| Name of Beer: Backwoods Bastard |
| Beer Style: Scotch Ale |
| Description: Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark fruit. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate. 4 pack bottles |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: Sierra Nevada |
| Name of Beer: Trip in the Woods: Cocoa Coconut Narwhal |
| Beer Style: Imperial Stout |
| Description: Narwhals are things of legend, myth, and mystery. Every so often, a rare specimen surfaces for a moment, but then dives back into the deep, never to be seen again. This very special version of our Narwhal Imperial Stout was brewed with toasted coconut and then left to mature in Kentucky bourbon barrels for nearly a year. To the barrels, we added additional coconut and cocoa nibs to create a uniquely rich and decadent stout. Catch a glimpse while you can before this rare treat slips below the surface forever. 750 ml bottle |
| 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: Limited |
| Brewery: 2nd Shift |
| Name of Beer: Art of Neurosis |
| Beer Style: IPA |
| Description: AON is the first beer I made at the brewery. It is a hop sandwich brewed with Simcoe & Columbus Hops, which are the greatest things in the world besides a good smack in the face. 4 pack cans |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: 2nd Shift |
| Name of Beer: Little Big Hop |
| Beer Style: Session IPA |
| Description: A small wonder to behold, with all of the hop flavors and aromas and coming in at only 4.9% ABV. Some people would call it a session IPA but they would be wrong because that makes no sense. It's a low alcohol double IPA or maybe an imperial table beer or an American lager that uses ale yeast and 10 times the hops as normal. This beer is stupid good. Hops used: Magnum, Cascade, Zythos, Simcoe, Columbus. 4 pack cans |
| Status: Limited |
| Brewery: 2nd Shift |
| Name of Beer: Technical Ecstasy |
| Beer Style: Czech Style Pilsner |
| Description: Brewed with Bohemian Pils malt and Saaz hops Technical Ecstasy pours a stunning hazy straw color with an enormous dense white head, the hallmark of a fresh Pilsner. The hops’ floral, slightly spicy aroma immediately lures you in. The medium-bodied mouth feel produces a soft, crackery maltiness immediately followed by spicy, slightly grassy notes. 4 pack cans |
| Status: Restock |
| Brewery: Rock Bridge |
| Name of Beer: Option #2 |
| Beer Style: Imperial Milk Stout |
| Description: An Imperial Milk stout brewed with vanilla-hazelnut coffee beans that pours thick black with tan head. Aromas of roasted coffee, vanilla and hazelnut. Creamy mouthfeel with notes of vanilla, roasted coffee grain, and hazelnut. 4 pack cans |
