New beer on draught (coming throughout
the month)
Konigshoeven Quadrupel - "A unique Trappist
beer that is put to rest and sorted by year in the cellars of the Abbey for
further fermentation. The strongest beer of Konigshoeven with a beautiful
amber colour. The warm taste is full and well-balanced. A little bit sweet
and pleasantly bitter. Since recently, we also age Konigshoeven Quadrupel
in oak barrels. This gives the oak-aged Trappist beer an even fuller taste
with a special wooded scent, which is comparable to wood-aged red wine. 10%
ABV

BrewDog Punk IPA - "This 6% trans-atlantic fusion IPA is light golden
in colour with tropical fruits and light caramel on the nose. The palate
soon becomes assertive and resinous with the New Zealand hops balanced
by the biscuit malt. The finish is aggressive and dry with the hops emerging
over the warming alcohol. This fresh, full flavour natural beer is our
tribute to the classic IPAs of yester-year. The post modern twist is the
addition of amazing fruity hops giving an explosion of tropical fruit flavours
and a sharp bitter finish."

Lagunitas The Hairy Eyeball - "Our New Year’s Release for the
seasoned beer folks… Big, brown warmer with several types of crystal
malt. No actual eyeballs can actually be found in the beer."
IBU: 56.7
ABV: 9.0%

Santa Fe Nut Brown Ale - "The Brown Ale style originated in the pubs
of England, where beer drinkers desired a beer that was both flavorful
and complex, but at the same time mild enough to be a session beer. The
Santa Fe Brewing Company's interpretation of this style uses a combination
of high mash temperature, hard water, and low-alpha acid hops to produce
a product that is both true to the style and distinctly Santa Fe. Brewing
jargon aside, Santa Fe Nut Brown Ale is an easy-drinking beer, mild, smooth,
and always a favorite."
http://santafebrewing.com/ontap.php
Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer - "is a lively, refreshing ale with
a naturally citrusy flavor and distinctive cloudy appearance. This easy-drinking
American-style wheat beer has become our most popular offering, and the
best-selling craft beer in the Midwest. Subtle flavor profile with hints
of wheat and grain works well as a compliment to lighter dishes. Mild sweetness
compliments fruity dishes."
http://www.blvdbeer.com/unfilteredwheat.htm
Left Hand Milk Stout - "Strong roasted malt and coffee flavors build
the foundation of this classic cream stout. The addition of milk sugar
mellows the intense roastiness and gives this beer the most incredible
creamy mouth feel."
http://www.lefthandbrewing.com/
Shiner 101 (Czech Style Pilsner) - "What IS in English is the label
which reads, “Simple things aren’t necessarily easy. In fact,
when it comes to brewing, it’s tough to brew great beer with just
a few ingredients. But fear not, at the little brewery in Shiner we know
a thing or two about refining even the most challenging of old-world recipes.
This Czech-style Pilsner is brewed with barley, hops, water, yeast and
101 years of brewing experience. Here’s to sticking to your roots
and keeping things simple, P R O S I T!” The beer uses Bohemian Hanna
barley and Czech Saaz Hops. 4.6% ABV and 22 IBU."

Redhook Mudslinger Spring Ale - "is a Nut Brown Ale with a Medium
body and a fresh aroma. Its malty flavor is layered with light chocolate,
caramel, brown sugar and a hint of vanilla. Six barley malts and two hop
varieties result in a surprisingly smooth, well balanced dark beer. Mudslinger
pairs nicely with grilled meats, stews, fowl, and even smoked oysters or
salmon."

New beer in a
bottle (coming throughout the month)
Konigshoeven Dubbel - "An
authentic Trappist beer with a deep red-brown colour. Through the use of
a.o. caramel malt, it has a soft aromatic, caramel-like character. A little
bit sweet in taste with a fresh aftertaste."
http://www.latrappe.nl/content.asp?m=M7&s=P17&l=EN
Konigshoeven Bockbier - "The only Trappist bock beer in the world
and the only bock beer that continues to ferment slightly in the bottle.
This unique seasonal product is available from autumn. Ruby-red colour
with a full taste and a malty smell. The aftertaste is slightly bitter
due to the burnt malt and hops."
http://www.latrappe.nl/content.asp?m=M7&s=P21&l=EN
Konigshoeven Tripel - "A Trappist beer that is remarkable and strong.
This beer has a spicy character to the particular use of coriander. A beer
in the golden dress that is blond with a fruity, bitter sweetness."
http://www.latrappe.nl/content.asp?m=M7&s=P103&l=EN
Pike Pale Ale - "Medium-bodied with nutty and fruity malt flavor,
balanced with floral hops."
