New beer on draught (coming throughout the month)
Sunner - "is a Kolsch style beer which is unique to Koln Germany. Like Champagne it is protected by law, so that only beers brewed in that region can bear the name. It is an ale with a stylish character derived from lagering. It is clear, pale straw coloured in appearance. The taste is refreshing, gently fruity, slightly sweet with a crisp dry finish. Sunner is the oldest brewery in cologne and has been family owned and operated for six generations. Est 1830."

Delirium Tremens - "The name Delirium Tremens speaks for itself. The color is golden and the head is creamy and light. The aftertaste is fruity, almost cherry. Delirium Tremens has a big body, a rich mouth feel, and a long, sweet aftertaste." -- Stuart Kallen, The 50 Greatest Beers in the World

The brewery is unique in it's kind, while it is situated inside the walls of the Abbey of Koningshoeven. The famous Dutch painter: "Jeroen Bosch" lived nearby the brewery.

New beer in a bottle (coming throughout the month)
Ayinger Weizen-Bock - "A powerful and astonishing winter seasonal from one of the world's most respected breweries, available in the US for the first time in fall 2009. The weizen-bock style is relatively uncommon, even in Bavaria: they are wheat ales (weissebeer or weizen beer) that are brewed to be as strong as a bock - with corresponding fuller body, and enhanced flavors. They can be pale ("helles") or dark ("dunkles"), but Ayinger Weizen Bock is pale in color. Classic Bavarian weissebeer aroma suggesting spice and cloves; smooth body from wheat and from decoction mashing; extravagant, pinpoint conditioning. The flavor offers the essence of the wheat harvest, fresh-baked bread, maybe even - somehow - the sunshine of a fall afternoon. The finish is tropical fruit, cloves and banana."
