BEER
Join us this week as we sample unique beer styles from around the globe!
Saison Deluxe
Southampton Publick House (Southampton, New York)
Stunningly complex with tropical fruit overtones of pineapple and passion fruit. Imported malt and hops create a smooth, earthy flavor on the palate. A farmhouse-style ale, SAISON DELUXE successfully combines traditional rustic flavor with a sophisticated craft-brewed taste.
$11.99 750ml.
Resurrection (Now in 6pk Cans!!!)
Brewer's Art (Baltimore, Maryland)
A local favorite, the Resurrection is based on a classic Belgian style Abbey "Dubbel" Ale and made with five types of barley malt and Belgian candi sugar. This beer is quite flavorful, without being too sweet.
$10.99 6pk cans.
Southern Hemisphere Hop Harvest Ale
Sierra Nevada (Chico, California)
To ensure the freshest hops possible, hops in this beer are dried right after being picked, and then flown direct from New Zealand to Chico, California so Sierra Nevada's brewers could brew with them the week after they were picked.
$6.99 24 oz.
