ales, lagers, golden, pilsner, porter, pale, wheat, amber, IPA, brown, stout, bock, Seasonal &
Holiday, etc. And all the different breweries that make them available.

We also change our selection to reflect the different beers that are made available as seasonal
offerings from a number of California, Northwest and Colorado Micro Breweries.
*You will notice that we are finishing up our Christmas Seasonals and will be
receiving a number of Winter Seasonal beers. Enjoy these selections while we can
offer them, as most of these we will receive 1 or 2 kegs and when it's gone... you'll have to wait
till next year!

Where possible we also include the links to the brewery web sites so you may get a detailed description of the beers, brewers and brewery locations.

Deschutes Black Butte Porter XXIII (Bend, Or.) *Deschutes Brewery's 23rd Birthday Reserve!* to celebrate, they released a limited batch of Black Butte XXIII, which is a doubled up, barrel-aged version of the brewery’s flagship ale, “It may seem a little unusual to release a dark, heavy beer in the middle of the summer, but to us, it was only fitting,” said Gary Fish, founder of Deschutes Brewery. “After all, the company has thrived for 20 years, largely on the back of Black Butte Porter.” Building on the existing chocolate notes already present in Black Butte Porter, brewers added Theo’s Chocolate cocoa nibs from Seattle So where to next? What's 2011's rich, imperial take on Black Butte XXIII? Just for kicks, Orange zest perhaps? From Spanish Oranges. Seville, to be exact. And Chocolate nibs from the artisanal alchemists at Theo. Maybe some chilies? Pasilla Negra only, please. That would be crazy wouldn't it? Welcome to crazy. Get it while you can. This special Reserve Series release is a masterpiece and a tribute to the revolutionary Deschutes Brewery beer that has excited beer enthusiasts since 1988. IBU 55 Alc. 11%	Shmaltz Brewing Hop Manna I.P.A. (Saratoga Springs, NY) The beer is straw gold with a honey quality to it that belies its crystal clarity. The nose is not as aggressive as the six hops may initially indicate. What you get is a really nice medley of soft aromas. There is citrus, naturally, but that grapefruit spray emerges slowly behind a powdery floral bouquet of paper white, lavender, as well as some pine sap that masks just a bit of bready malt. The mouth feel is excellent, the hops hit immediately – bitter citrus first, then the wafting, rosy florals, and finally just a slightly metallic touch at the end. The malt is not apparent immediately, but the lack of any sere, saliva-sapping aridity shows that there is more balance than you might think. 65 IBUs is a lot, but not a ton, and this beer is an easy-going 6.8% that’s going to please any hophead. It’s hop-forward, to be sure, but Schmaltz has done a wonder here by creating a ‘big’ beer that is not going to be undrinkable for those who don’t have a sense of humulus. Great stuff. Malt: 2-Row, Wheat, Munich, Vienna, CaraMunich 40. Hops: Warrior, Cascade, Citra, Amarillo, Crystal, Cenntenial. Dry Hopped: Cenntenial & Cascade!
New Belgium DIG Pale Ale (Spring Seasonal) Coppery pour that l eaves a nice lacing as it recedes. Interesting lemony-citrus, sweet, clean and tropical nose. Taste is citrus and caramel-nutty, sweet, but crisp and clean due to generous carbonation and hop. Not bitter. Finishes clean. Sorachi Ace hops provides a fresh Spring zing with incredible lemon aroma. Nelson Sauvin is next in line with bursts of passion fruit, mango and peach. American favorites, Cascade and Centennial round out this crisp, clean Pale Ale. Dig in! Interesting beer and easy to drink. alc. 5.6% 36 IBU.	Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale (Chico) The long, cold nights of winter are a little brighter with Celebration Ale. Wonderfully robust and rich, Celebration Ale is dry-hopped for a lively, intense aroma. Brewed especially for the holidays, it is perfect for a festive gathering. “…best beer ever made in America.” – Stan Sessor, S.F. Chronicle. alc. 6.8% IBU 62
Drake's Brewing 1500 Dry Hopped Pale Ale Clear, amber with white head. Big hop- forward aromas with some grapefruity malty-sweet notes coming through. Medium-light body with hints of crystal malts but predominantly tasting of big, bitter hops. Deliciously drinkable Pale Ale that would have been considered an IPA just a few years ago. Silver Medal 2008 G.A.B.F. This brew varies, but each batch is increasingly delicious. Alc.5.5% 48 IBU.	North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner (Fort Bragg) Named for the delicate engravings popularized by 19th century seafarers, Scrimshaw is a fresh tasting Pilsner brewed in the finest European tradition from Munich and Klages malts, Hallertauer and Tettnang hops. Scrimshaw has a subtle pale malt flavor a crisp, clean palate, and a dry finish. " Aromatic, spicy- hop nose. Finishes cleanly.... refreshing, with the hop profile being the main attraction". Alc.4.4% 22 IBU
Lagunitas Cappuccino Stout Ale Brewed with Sebastopol’s Own Hard Core Coffee, Deep brown body with slightly red edges and a thick tan head. Smells fantastic, like a good cup of roasty coffee with hints of caramel, Palate is medium bodied, smooth and creamy. Taste is chocolate, cream, coffee, with the hops not getting in the way of the roasted malt experience, but their presence just adding the right amount of bitterness. Just awesome. Alc. 7.99%	North Coast Red Seal Ale (Fort Bragg) Malt and Hops are beautifully married in this full-bodied copper red Pale Pale Ale. A nose full of sweetness, hops and some fruit aromas. A smooth and creamy brew with a full chewy malt body that holds off the oncoming hop flavours for about a 1/2 second. A raw hop flavor in the beginning turns rind like, finally going drier at the end as it complements the lingering sweetness and mild fruity esters. Generously hopped for a long spicy finish. Alc: 5% 42 IBU.
Stone Brewing Vertical Epic 11-11-11 (Escondido) The Stone 11.11.11 Vertical Epic Ale pours a deep amber with a cream colored head of foam. The Belgian yeast strain used this year has more pronounced banana aromatics than the clove flavors produced by some of the yeast strains used in past years. Mixed in are toffee malt notes, hints of spice — clove and cinnamon — and a trace of very mild green chile in the back. The aromas all blend together incredibly well. Not your typical chile beer! The famous mild green chilies from the Hatch Valley in New Mexico add layers of delicious flavor with a very mild heat component. The base beer itself is very reminiscent of a European amber beer, hopped and brewed to a very Stone like 65 IBU and 9.4% ABV. Cinnamon is a wonderful spice if used judiciously, which we did here-it doesn’t by any means dominate the beer’s flavor, but definitely adds a subtly complex spice note that blends amazingly well with the banana esters and green chili. Malts: Pale, Crystal, Munich, CaraBohemian and Special B Hops: Warrior, Target, Perle and Pacific Jade.	Anchor Steam (San Francisco) San Francisco's famous Anchor Steam®, the classic of American brewing tradition since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor all testify to our traditional brewing methods. Anchor Steam is unique, for our brewing process has evolved over many decades and is like no other in the world. Anchor Steam derives its unusual name from the 19th century when "steam" seems to have been a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. The brewing methods of those days are a mystery and, although there are many theories, no one can say with certainty why the word "steam" came to be associated with beer. For many decades Anchor alone has used this quaint name for its unique beer. In modern times, "Steam" has become a trademark of Anchor Brewing since 1896. Uniquely San Franciscan, Anchor has played a significant, though small, role in California's majestic history
Deschutes Mirror Mirror Barleywine 2009 First released in bottles in 2006, Mirror Mirror is an oak-aged barley wine that has been in production at the brewery for more than a year. Mirror Mirror is an inspired version of the brewery’s flagship, Mirror Pond Pale Ale, which has been doubled up to barley wine strength – yielding a rich malt base with hints of raisin and oak tinged with the slightest citrus hop aroma. Alc. 11% 30 IBU's. 3 Years of cellaring has brought this beer together!	Pyramid Hefe Weizen (Berkeley) Mistakenly pronounced "Heifer-weizen" by many, this classic brew is about as far from the brazen boldness of a large bovine as one can get. Skillfully brewed with over 60% wheat malt (Bavarian tradition only calls for 50%). Pyramid's Northwest style Hefeweizen has a smooth body and a cloudy golden color. This crisp refreshing beer is unfiltered for extra flavor. Say "Hay-fuh-vy-'tzen." Malts: 2-Row Barley, Malted Wheat, Caramel Hops: Liberty. Alc. 5.2%.

Fruit is king, and balance is its Magna Carta. Flavor, character, texture. A crimson red color, with a smoky presentation of red berries, cherry, plum and red currant flavors.

Drake's Brewing Hopocalypse Double I.P.A. The first offering from the Drake’s Brewing Co., after being aquired by John Martin of Triple Rock Brewing. A Monster double I.P.A. with a deep orange hue, loosely filtered to keep the integrity of the malt and hops. Equal parts of American two row and English Pale malts are combined with 2 types of Munich malts. Starting the pint with a malt sweetness giving over to a massive floral aroma derived from Chinook, Cascade and Amarillo hops, for a blending of West Coast and European flavor. With a hoppy oily, floral yet slightly sweet finish, and a bite from the alcohol. 9.3% 100 IBU.	Oakland Brewing Sticky Zipper I.P.A. (Oakland,Ca.) A hop lover's delight, with copious amounts of Centennial, Columbus, Cascade & Faloners Flight, for a bitter hop forward beginning with hints of lemon zest, citrus, pine and a light floral hop presence in the nose. An interesting sweetness up front from C-45 & Munich malts for a nice rounded backbone with plenty of bitterness to balance it that lingers. A very well-executed IPA. alc.: 7.4%


Sierra Nevada Ovila Dubbel ( Chico) Brewed in the abbey tradition, and perfect for the rebirth of spring. Clear and deep copper in color, this Abbey Dubbel has a complex and rich malty sweetness with hints of caramelized sugar.

Sierra Nevada/Dogfish Head ”Life & Limb 2” Life & Limb is dark beer that defies style characteristics, a collaboration between Dogfish Head & Sierra Nevada. The beer is alive with a yeast blend from both breweries house strains and brewed with pure maple syrup from the Calagione family farm in Massachusetts, and naturally carbonated with birch syrup from Alaska for added complexity and shelf life. Stored correctly this rich full-bodied beer will age for years. The nose is full of cocoa, molasses, vanilla, dark fruits, and chocolate milk.
