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."

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."

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."

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."
