| The Abyss is Here! |
| 2009-11-06 11:07:00 |
We received our allocation of Deschutes Abyss this morning, and it's ready for sale. Due to the overwhelming volume of calls and emails we've received regarding the beer we'll need to enforce a limit of 3 bottles per person (per day) for at least the duration of the weekend. This should allow us to provide at least 120 people with an opportunity to dive into the Abyss.Here's what the brewery has to say about the beer:The Abyss: Stout brewed with licorice and molasses with 33% aged in oak and oak bourbon barrels. It’s dark. It’s deep. It’s mysterious. Aged in French Oak and Bourbon barrels, this special brew has immeasureable depth inviting you to explore and discover it’s rich, comples profile. The flavor of molasses and licorice draw you in further and further with each sip. The...

You may have noticed that there's a new sidebar widget below the Twitter feed that shows our *gasp* Facebook Page.After numerous requests for us to create a Facebook page I broke down and created one this morning. It's still in it's infancy, but I've already populated the event page with our upcoming tastings and added a couple of photos.So, if you're into the whole social-networking thing, why not become a "fan" of the shop and give yourself one more way to keep up to date on all the newest beer arrivals, tastings, and other special events....

In the last 10 days we've received over 30 new beers, and a bunch of elusive favorites have returned.Sadly, I don't have time to do full write-ups and links for all of these, but Google and Ratebeer work well enough that if you see something on the list that you're curious about it should be easy to find.

| New Arrivals for 9.15.09 - The Better Late Than Never Edition |
| 2009-09-15 17:00:00 |
Well, 09.09.09 has already come and gone, but Stone's latest Vertical Epic release didn't arrive until today. Such is the way of things I guess. Today's delivery brought a few other things besides the VE, so scroll down the list and see what catches your fancy.New Beers:Stone - Vertical Epic 09.09.09: This year's twist in the story line brings us down a dark alley haunted by mysterious aromas of tangerine and vanilla. At 8.5% it begs for a snifter and your complete attention.Stone/BrewDog/Cambridge - Juxtaposition Black Pilsner: Ignore the fact that "black pilsner" is just another way of saying "schwarzbier" because this brew bears absolutely no resemblance to pilsner, black or otherwise. It's dry, roasty, and pushing a double digit abvmore which makes it more akin to an imperial stou...

| New Arrivals For Tueday September 1 |
| 2009-09-01 18:45:00 |
Not much in the way of new things, but I figured people would want a heads up about a couple of these.New Arrivals:Russian River - Temptation: A mid-strength (at least for RR) sour blond aged in Chardonnay barrels with every pretty much every wild yeast available. This is not an introductory wild ale as the levels of tartness and horse blanket mustiness will probably scare off people who aren't already in love with the style, but for lovers of wild brews this is one of the best. I'd put it second only to Supplication in RR's "regular" sour line-up.Mad River - The Mad Belgian: I haven't had it yet, but based on the few reviews that have been posted it's a coppery colored Belgian-style ale with some candi sugar maltiness, tropical fruit overtones from the yeast, and some citrusy hops to b...

| New Arrivals For Friday August 21, 2009 |
| 2009-08-21 19:05:00 |
It seems strange to be receiving "Oktoberfest" and pumpkin beers when the weather is pushing 90, but I guess it's just a continuation of the trend towards pushing seasonals out earlier and earlier. In any case they're nice and fresh right now, so you might as well drink them. We also got the first shipment of bottles from Upright Brewing, so if a light, refreshing farmhouse ale is more your speed we have you covered. On to the list: Boulevard - Bob's 47: (commercial description) Boulevard’s fall seasonal beer, Bob’s ’47 Oktoberfest is a medium-bodied, dark amber brew with a malty flavor and well-balanced hop character. With this Munich-style lager we solute our friend Bob Werkowitch, Master Brewer and 1947 graduate of the U.S. Brewer‘s Academy. Available from September through O...
