Shelf Sightings – October 20, 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: New!
Brewery: O'Fallon
Name of Beer: Dunkel Down
Beer Style: Dunkelweizen
Description: In the words of Ron Burgundy...it smells of rich mahogany. This traditional German style, Dunkel is a malt forward dark lager. The Munich type malts used in Dunkel Down add the depth of right toasted and nutty malt character with just a hint of sweetness. Traditional German noble hops add a hint of spicy bitterness and earthy character to the finish while the lager yeast strain keeps this beer clean and crisp.    6 pack bottles

 

Status: Returning Seasonal
Brewery: Lagunitas
Name of Beer: Brown Shugga
Beer Style: Strong Ale
Description: We believe this Special Ale is Something Unique. Feeding Brown Cane Sugar to otherwise Cultured Brewery Yeast is a'kin to feeding Raw Shark to your Gerbil. It is unlikely to ever occur in nature without Human Intervention. And it looks weird besides. But it has happened and now it's too Late.    6 pack bottles

 

Status: Returning Seasonal
Brewery: Sierra Nevada
Name of Beer: Northern Hemisphere Harvest
Beer Style: Wet Hop IPA
Description: Northern Hemisphere was the first wet hop ale and it inspired the wet hop craze in America. Wet—undried—hops go straight from the fields into our kettles within 24 hours. Because hops are incredibly perishable, using hops wet preserves all of the precious oils and resins for a unique drinking experience as evidenced by the intense herbal green flavors and citrus-like and floral aromas.     24 ounce bottle

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Schlafly
Name of Beer: From the Ibex Cellar: Barrel Aged Pumpkin Ale
Beer Style: Pumpkin Ale
Description: Deep, rich rum barrel characters meld with the sweet, spicy, full bodied elements of our pumpkin ale.    4 pack bottles

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Odell
Name of Beer: Ten Paces
Beer Style: Wild Ale
Description: Ten paces is our tribute to the American West and all the things that make it wild. This beer harkens back to the days when Doc Holliday was gunslinging in the mountains near Leadville, Colorado. Drawing on the natural tartness of the huckleberries, this American-Style Wild Ale features a unique blend of yeast strains that produce a complex aroma of tropical fruit and clove like spiciness while accentuating the deep fruit flavors. The question is, will you be our huckleberry?     750 ml bottle

 

Status: Limited
Brewery: Dogfish Head
Name of Beer: Oak Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout
Beer Style: Imperial Stout
Description: Rare and often rumored about in the darkest corners of the beer community, World Wide Stout is dark, rich, roasty and complex, and lingers somewhere beyond the limits of the average beer. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, we've now taken this Dogfish Head classic and aged it on oak with real vanilla beans! With a little tender love and care we foster this beer from smooth, sweet wort into the big, bad blackened stout it always longed to be. Its bold, port-like complexity goes great with (or as) dessert. With its high ABV, this is an excellent candidate for cellaring, so grab a few bottles to enjoy now and lay the others down for a few years.    12 ounce bottle

 

Status: New!
Brewery: Uinta
Name of Beer: Grapefruit Hop Nosh
Beer Style: IPA
Description: Tangy, juicy and slightly sweet, this IPA features an aromatic burst of fresh squeezed white grapefruit, complementing the bold, hop-forward character of the Hop Nosh line.     6 pack cans
