| 7 | Original Gravity | OG Ginger Ale that has been aged in a bourbon cask for over 8 months!! | |
| 8 | Founder | Aged in Bourbon barrels that were previously used to store maple syrup. The combination of American oak, Kentucky Bourbon and Michigan maple syrup and golden/ tan wheat ale provides a delicious malty sweet ale distinctive of strong vanilla and bourbon notes. | |

| 7 | Griffin Claw | Rich malty winter ale brewed with molasses, honey, orange peel and clove. Then age in Bourbon barrels for a year that will lend an oak- vanilla character to balance out this spicey winter ale. Don't eat yellow snow, drink winter ales. | |
| 8 | Sierra Nevada | Jack McAuliffe was the first American "micro" brewer. His tiny New Albion Brewery in Sonoma, California inspired countless dreamers to start small-scale breweries of their own. Jack agreed to guest brew this very special ale with us in honor of our 30th anniversary. This Black Barleywine Ale is a nod to the legendary ales New Albion served at their legendary summer solstice parties. Rich with bittersweet and roasted malt flavors, balanced with whole-cone American hops, this robust ale should age gracefully for years. | |
| 4 | Meckley's | Harder cider with the flavor of tree-ripe peaches | |
| 6 | Darkhorse | ||
| 7 | Original Gravity | Amber Ale brewed with German smoked malt to give a pronounced, but well balanced smoke profile. Fresh Jalapenos added during several stages of the brewing process gives this beer the bold Jalapeno flavor and aroma that marries perfectly with the smoke flavor from the malt. | |

| 0 | California Cider Co. | This cider is a sweeter cider at 5% alcohol by volume. We ferment the apple juices for 14 days to dryness and then add back just enough fresh blackberry and raspberry juices to produce a light purple cider.. We carbonate it and sell it in 22oz bottles and 6 packs, sixth barrels and large kegs. ACE BERRY has just the right amount of fruitiness and sweetness; it is refreshing chilled without being cloying. It is an all-natural, gluten-free, cold filtered cider. ACE BERRY is winning a lot of friends across the country. This cider is now available year round. | |
| 2 | Ace | Made from a base of 100% pure, local pear juice. Big pear aroma, very clean smelling. Light in the body, crisp and quick carbonation with a dryish mouth feel. | |
| 0 | California Cider Company | ||
| 3 | ACE | Smooth full-bodied cider with an all spice pumpkin aroma, and an orangey hue. The cider is crisp with subtle aromas of pumpkin, ideal for Halloween and Thanksgiving which is traditionally cider time. Enjoy! . | |

| 3 | Odd Side Ales | Tart refreshing wheat ale brewed with coriander and sea salt. Blended with fresh cucumber and strawberries. | |
| 0 | Liberty Street Brewing Co. | ||
| 2 | Short's | ||
| 4 | Alaskan | Based on the traditional style of Kölsch beer brewed in Cologne, Germany. Alaskan Summer Ale balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of Hallertauer hops. In the tradition of the style, neither overpowers the other. Both hops and malt come together to refresh and renew the palate. The straw-gold color and easy drinkability are an enjoyable way to celebrate summer. Alaskan Summer Ale is made from glacier-fed water and a generous blend of European and Pacific Northwest hop varieties and premium two-row and specialty malts. Our water originates in the 1,500 square-mile Juneau Ice Field and from the more than 90 inches of rainfall Juneau receives each year. | |
| 5 | Alaskan Brewing Company | Winter comes early in Alaska, so we release Alaskan Winter Ale in October. The tender new growth of spruce trees has been used for brewing in Alaska since the late 1700s when explorers sailed the coast of Alaska looking for the Northwest Passage. Alaskan Brewing revives this tradition, adding spruce tips to its Alaskan Winter Ale. | |
| 5 | Maumee Bay Brewing Company | Kettle Soured Double IPA brewed with Mosaic, Azacca, Amarillo and Citra hops, then aged on Matcha Powder and Fresh Kiwi | |
| 5 | Anchor Brewing | Each year since 1975, Anchor Brewing creates a distinctive Christmas Ale, available from early November to mid-January. A rich, dark spiced ale, our secret recipe is different every year—as is the tree on the label—but the intent remains the same: joy and celebration of the newness of life. | |
| 4 | Anchor | Deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor all testify to traditional brewing methods. The beer gets 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. | |
| 4 | Witch's Hat | Our German Gose fermented over fresh grapefruits | |
| 4 | Witch's Hat Brewing Co. | Sour German gose brewed with salt and coriander. This was our 400th batch and parting beer for our assistant brewer Andrew. | |
| 6 | Greenbush Brewing Company | A haughty black India Pale Ale with a bit of pent-up attitude for those "special" days. An addicting little cascadian Black IPA using Belgian dark malts and dry-hopped for intense aroma. Release some bottled-up Anger and learn to enjoy life a little. Specs: 85 ibu alc. 7.6% by vol. 28.3º Lovibond | |
| 0 | Boston Beer Company | This crisp and refreshing cider mixes the sweetness of the apples with a subtle dryness for a balanced cider taste. The fresh apple aroma and slightly sweet, ripe apple flavor make this cider hard to resist. | |
| 6 | Ommegang | In Greek mythology, Aphrodite rises from the foam of the waves of the sea, enchanting all who see her, and inciting thoughts of love and lust where ever she goes. We could hardly say it more eloquently. Our Limited Edition Aphrodite Ale is ethereal, intriguing and mysterious – as the Goddess Aphrodite must have been. Aphrodite has champagne-like carbonation, much as the foam of the waves of the sea. Plus enchanting flavors with whispers of raspberry and pear, and hints of funk and tartness created by the Brett yeast. The refreshing dryness comes from the unusual combination of Ommegang and Brett yeasts, and incites feelings of love and thirst, though we don’t know about lust. Grains of paradise are infused into the nectar, and when poured Aphrodite is crowned with a luxuriously shimmering rose-pink head. | |
| 3 | Blake's Hard Cider Co. | Pumpkin spice hard cider | |
| 4 | B. Nektar Meadery | Rich, baked apple skin, creamy honey sweetness followed by strong rich pie spices, especially cinnamon. Truly like eating a piece of apple pie. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy and finishes sweet with a slight lingering warmth. | |

| 5 | Greenbush Brewing Co. | Ale brewed with fresh strawberries, habanero peppers & vanilla bean. | |
| 4 | Lagunitas | A Unique Dry-Hopped Sweet Tart Sour Mash Ale. We soured the wort on the Hot Side with Lactobacillus for a few days and then brewed up this smooth and hoppy sour. It tastes like a big bowl of fruity candy or some chewable flavored vitamins, but what's the difference? It's sweet, tart, and sassy, just like the tasty cherry pie that your favorite aunt makes. | |
| 6 | The Bruery | Brewed with 17 lbs. of yams per barrel, this autumn seasonal is a different take on the “pumpkin” beer style. Brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses, and maple syrup, and fermented with our traditional Belgian yeast strain, this bold and spicy beer is perfect on a cold autumn evening | |
| 7 | Southern Tier | Back Burner Barley Wine is a celebration of things to come and things remembered. It’s conceived in three small batches, using voluminous amounts of barley and hops. The process starts early in the morning and ends late into the night. We hope this rare brew reignites your spirit for another trip around the sun. | |
| 4 | Short's | ||
| 5 | Short's | A golden ale fermented with 220 lbs. of bananas, blended with an American lager fermented with 100 lbs. of cocoa, to produce a rich and smooth creme ale. Delightful nose, unique finish. | |
| 3 | Bell's | German Style Golden Ale | |
| 3 | Darkhorse | Pale Ale with blueberries. Collaboration beer between Dark Horse Brewing Co. and Slippery Slope(Chicago). | |
| 8 | The Livery | A blend of barrel aged tripel weizenbock, Kentucky Kaffinator coffee doppelbock, and sour scheild and reaged over oak for an additional six months. | |
| 8 | Great Lakes | Aged for 12 months in bourbon barrels, our caramel-colored Barley Wine matures into a bold, lively brew. With a smooth, velvety taste and a mellow hop nose, it gives “wait ‘til next year” a whole new meaning. So… how long can you wait for a taste? | |
| 7 | Bell's | The last of a series, Batch 10,000 Ale looks back to our home-brewing roots. After combing through the catalogs of many, many malt & hop suppliers, our brewers used over 100 different malts, grains, and other fermentables, and followed them up with a blend of 60 different hop varietals between the kettle additions and dry-hopping. The resulting beer presents a deep, chocolate brown hue and offers roasted & caramel notes from the malts mixed with an assertive hop character. Sharply bitter, the beer possesses a full mouthfeel without being heavy & will withstand aging in your cellar, if you prefer. | |
| 6 | Bell's | Batch 9,000 Ale offers up aromas ranging from the sweet caramel & molasses of dark rum to fruits such as raisins and plums. Brewed with the idea of pushing boundaries in mind, Batch 9,000 Ale is a unique, one-time-only recipe. Well suited for vintage aging, this limited release will continue to develop in flavor & complexity over the years. | |
| 9 | Bell's | Aged in bourbon barrels for 8 months, Bourbon Barrel Aged Batch 9000 Ale takes the sweet caramel, molasses, and dried fruit aromas of its predecessor and layers on oak, vanilla, and bourbon notes. The barrel contribution is definitely present but doesn’t try to overwhelm the underlying beer. The goal is to showcase the beer, not the bourbon, with the result being an exceptionally smooth beer with complexity & depth that defies easy classification as an imperial stout or barleywine or otherwise. | |
| 4 | Batch Brewing Co. | ||
| 0 | Arcadia Brewing Co. | BBA blended pumpkin ale | |
| 4 | Odd Side Ales | Nose is pure vanilla and coffee. Light body, creamy with good carbonation. Lots of vanilla hints of coffee. | |
| 3 | Blake's Hard Cider Co. | Blake's Beard Bender is a 100% natural hard cider. It's funny when nothing's added you taste the true characteristics of the apple. Not for the faint of heart. Beard Bender packs a punch not expected from hard cider. Derived from a variety of Bittersweet and Bittersharp apples. Beard Bender is tart, crisp and amazingly drinkable. And, of course, 100% grown at Blake Farms in Armada, Michigan. | |
| 4 | Bell's | Black & Raspberries, Berry Jam, Refreshing | |
| 4 | Bell's | The vivid red hue and tart finish of Raspberry Ale come from the use of massive amounts of Michigan-grown whole raspberries. We have sourced raspberries for this beer from the same local farm for over a decade. Intensely flavorful, Raspberry Ale focuses on the contribution of local agriculture and follows a Bell’s tradition of leaning towards using tart flavors to complement malty notes, rather than additional sweetness. | |
| 0 | Arbor Brewing Company | ||
| 3 | New Belgium | We assembled a team of international brewers to craft this drinkable Kölsch with a kick of chamomile and lemongrass | |
| 7 | Sierra Nevada | Our award-winning barleywine boasts a dense, fruity bouquet, an intense flavor palate and a deep reddish-brown color. Its big maltiness is superbly balanced by a wonderfully bittersweet hoppiness. | |
| 6 | Dogfish Head | A strong ale containing an Italian heirloom grain called Cappelli Senatore, along with pomegranate juice, raisins, and hazelnut flour, together with 3 types of honey: chestnut, wildflower, and clover. The brew was then spiced with several hop flowers, Gentian root and tree resin (think Myrrh) in the kettle. To simulate fermentation in a bronze vessel (which possibly would have been what the Etruscans used), we actually tied a bronze plate inside our modern stainless fermenter which was suspended in the wort as it fermented. The aroma is dominated by pomegranate and spice from the yeast. The flavor is an intriguing interplay between the tangy pomegranate fruit and nuttiness from the hazelnut flower. One can definitely envision sipping this unique brew while relaxing on the Mediterranean coast. | |

| 7 | Dogfish Head | Black & Blue is golden Belgian Ale made with over 300 lbs of fresh blackberries and blueberries. With a deep purple full body and a long-lasting lacy pink head, this ale is both attractive and delicious! It is tart and fruity, like our brewers! The subtle bitterness of Hallertau and Saaz hops shines through the fruit forward flavor and sets the palate aglow. (30 IBUs). This tasty brew has smooth but noticeable alcohol warmth. Belgian yeast gives this brew a characteristically dry spicy finish. The beautiful interplay of fruit, spice, and alcohol is complimented by a soft malt profile, and a high level of carbonation. | |
| 4 | B. Nektar Meadery | A sparkling session mead made with honey, blackberry, clove and orange zest. | |
| 3 | Blake's Hard Cider Co. | This new cranberry and blood orange infused semi-sweet cider veers away from the more predictable fall style brews with a more complex and interesting flavor that is perfect for Autumn. | |
| 4 | Redstone | This is our first mead released in July 2001. To-date we receive more requests and attention for Black Raspberry Nectar then for any other one of our meads! With the mouth feel and texture of beer and the light taste of a lower alcohol mead this beverage is the very definition of "refreshing". | |

| 0 | Weyerbacher Brewing Co. | At Weyerbacher, we prefer to brew things true to European style guidelines, so our barley wine is definitely on the malty side, without being overly sweet. Notes of date or perhaps fig on the palate follow a pleasurably malty aroma to your taste buds. The finish is warm and fruity, and begs for the next sip. | |
| 4 | Perrin Brewing Company | We wanted to deconstruct the flavor profile of a porter and recreate those flavors without using the traditional roasted malts to create a new take on a classic style creating a light blonde colored, full flavored beer. We used oats and wheat to build a full creamy body aged with coffee and chocolate for a rich roasted aroma and robust finish. | |
| 5 | Eastern Market Brewing Co. | Our Shock Tart gose with Blood Orange features a pleasant pucker with sweet orange rind and pulpy back notes. | |

| 3 | Uncle John's Fruit House Winery | We pay tribute to springtime and the apple blossoms with a blend of our crisp apple cider, citrus juice and honey. | |
| 0 | BluCreek Brewing Co. | Amber Ale brewed with Wild Maine Blueberries. An amber ale brewed with all natural ingredients, including real wild blueberries and wild blueberry juice from the State of Maine this beer has a light crisp body and subtle wild blueberry aroma and taste, but is not sweet like many fruit beers. These characteristics have made the beer popular with all age groups, especially young adults and make the beer a popular part of many beer cocktails and mixed beer drinks. For instance, many people enjoy the beer as a part of a “Black and Blue;” an alternative to a “Black and Tan". | |
| 3 | Vander Mill | A handcrafted, lightly carbonated, semi-sweet cider blended with West Michigan blueberries. Gluten-free. | |
| 3 | Blue Point | Our fresh Blueberry Ale offers an unusual twist on brewing that turns out to be a wonderful blend of fresh blueberries matched with a distinctive, thirst quenching ale.

Even before your first sip of Blueberry Ale, a strong, refreshing sweet fruit aroma emanates from the bottle, kicking your taste-buds into overdrive. | |
| 4 | Blue Point | According to Linus there are 3 things never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin. Our Pumpkin Ale, on the other hand, has made quite a buzz from New Hampshire down to Florida. Every season has its pleasures. Harvest your own with our Pumpkin Ale and reap all that Autumn has to offer. Brewed with pumpkins from only the most sincere patches, this seasonal brew is golden orange, crisp and delicious, with an innocent hint of cinnamon and nutmeg that articulates our favorite season. Gather with friends and family and enjoy the change of seasons while savoring a pint of Pumpkin Ale. Just like the leaves, it’s gone after Thanksgiving. | |

| 9 | Founders | Made to Celebrate Founders 15th Anniversary, Bolt Cutter Barley Wine is an American barley wine that pours deep copper color and is strong, sweet and malt-forward, with a spicy complexity. Typical of the style, it is very cellarable. The final product is a blend using beer that was aged in Bourbon barrels, some from aged maple syrup Bourbon barrels and some from standard fermentation. After blending, the beer was allowed to mature in bottles and kegs for a few months before releasing. | |
| 3 | Brouwerij Boon | For this speciality, we use old and young lambic beer that has aged in our oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, we add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermentation. We then clarify, filter and bottle it. | |

| 0 | Short's Brewing Co. | Made exclusively for the City Park Grill in Petoskey. Bourbon Frank is our Hangin' Frank aged in Bourbon barrels for up to 12 months. Initial malt notes of special roast is replaced with flavors of charred oak and sweet vanilla, followed by the Simcoe hop citrus bitterness. This new combination creates the sensation of sipping on a sweet Bourbon out of a grapefruit. | |

| 6 | Griffin Claw | Our Bourbon Imperial Pumpkin (BIP) is our classic Screamin’ Pumpkin Ale (brewed with cascade hops, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon) but brewed stronger and aged in bourbon barrels for 6 months. Results are a 9% ABV/15 IBU beer with rich oak-vanilla flavor with a oak barrel nose. The blending with the spices, hops, and malt creates in our opinion the ultimate pumpkin beer. | |
| 5 | Unity Vibration | This unique brew begins with our gluten-free, raw and vegan Kombucha Tea which is then bourbon barrel-aged with the addition of fresh, whole, organic peaches. Slightly sweet with subtle notes of bourbon. | |
| 8 | Kuhnhenn | Gold to amber color. Strong earthy honey aroma, medium sweetness, honey dominates over the malt character. Pours a nice head. This mead is made from Michigan Star Thistle honey. Braggot is made from 2/3 honey and 1/3 malt. It required 1 year of aging for this mead to reach maturity. This Braggot will handle age beautifully. We recommend you try a bottle today and an aged one in a few more years. This mead is carbonated naturally in the bottle, so there will be a yeast sediment int he bottom. Recommended serving temperature is 50 F. | |
| 5 | Epic Brewing | Malt beverage brewed with passion fruit fermented with Belgian yeast | |
| 7 | Epic Brewing | We took our double gold medal winning Brainless® Belgian, added cherry puree and aged it in French wine casks (cabernet and syrah) for a secondary fermentation in the barrels.

| 4 | Farmhaus Cider Co. | Your favorite lazy Sunday brunch in a can. Best enjoyed with friends (or pancakes), this cider can be served warm or cold for two unique experiences. Warm it’s cozy and spiced to curl up next to the fireplace with, while cold it’s the perfect semi-sweet blend of maple, cinnamon and apple. Either way it’s totally delicious and never from concentrate! | |
| 3 | Starcut | Bucket is a Semi-Dry Fruit Cider fermented with black currants and aged on oak chips. Deep crimson red in color with a shimmering light pink head, this cider carries aromas of tart fruit and vanilla. Apple and black currant flavors blend well and balance the acidity and sweetness for a clean and dry finish. | |
| 5 | River's Edge Brewing Co. | Frankincense and gold? Sounds pretty good, right? But wait, there's myrrh! There's no actual myrrh or frankincense in this beer and definitely no gold. What do you think we are, made of money??! It is Christmas though, so we were very generous with what we DID brew this red Christmas Ale with: figs, dates, citrus and fresh ginger. But Wait, There's Myrrh is a festival of enchanted Christmas wonder where all the snow is actually candy sugar, all the rooftops are made of gumdrops and Santa wants to take you sledding! If you experience any of that, please don't mention it to anyone. We will have to ask you leave. Merry Christmas from River's Edge! | |
| 4 | New Holland | Robust in character yet smooth in delivery, Cabin Fever is a roasty brown ale and a hearty, comforting companion for long, mind-bending winters. Its rye, roast and raisin notes play off a subtle caramel sweetness and culminate in a dry finish. Excellent with roasts, stews, caramelized onions and snowfall. | |

| 7 | Short's | Bourbon Carrot Cake is an experimental dessert ale made with carrots, marshmallow, vanilla, maple syrup, orange zest, walnuts, pecans and spices and then aged in bourbon barrels. The aroma is enticing, emitting fragrances that literally recreate a slice of carrot cake that has been soaked in bourbon, right down to the cream cheese frosting. Incredibly complex, yet surprisingly balanced, the flavor of each specialty ingredient seems to take its turn. Pleasant flavors of spice and cream resonate on the pallet causing an uncontrollable craving to taste more. | |
| 8 | Arcadia | Barleywine Brewed in tradition of Englishstyle barley wines, Cereal Killer offers an explosion of full-bodied, liquid goodness. Robust malty flavors converge with caramel, toffee, molasses and dark fruit notes to produce a remarkably complex yet palate-pleasing beer. Its intense malt character is complemented by a subtle citrus finish from the hops. With cellar-aging Cereal Killer's flavor evolves further, developing a sherry-like aroma and flavor similar to a cask-aged port. Winner of the Gold Medal for Wood and Barrel-Aged Strong Beers at 2009 GABF. | |
| 8 | Arcadia | We’ve taken our English-style barley wine and aged it in Bourbon barrels for 12-18 months, where it undergoes a transformation into a more complex, layered ale with structure for years. Hazelnut-claret in color, it pours syrupy and raises and off-white head. The aroma reveals scents of nutty malt, pralines, toffee, and hints of milk chocolate. The flavor follows suit, but brings to the forefront a bold Bourbon presence, rounding and full-bodied. Sip this fine, rare treat at cellar temperature (around 50F) to allow the full malt and Bourbon complexity to come through. Winner of the Gold Medal for Wood and Barrel Aged Strong Beer at the 2009 GABF. | |

| 7 | Dogfish Head | Similar to a beer brewed in China some 9,000 years ago, Chateau Jiahu used a recipe that included rice, honey, and grape and hawthorn fruits. The formula was obtained from archaeologists who derived it from the residues of pottery jars found in the late Stone Age village of Jiahu in northern China. The residues are the earliest direct evidence of brewed beverages in ancient China. | |
| 5 | Brewery Van Steenberg | The Cherish Kriek Lambic will surprise you with the right balance between the sourness of the Lambic and the sweetness of the fruit. You still taste the beer, which is very pleasant and refreshing, with a smooth cherry aftertaste. The Cherish Kriek Lambic is an excellent thirst quencher thanks to its underlying sourness. | |

| 5 | Rogue | Dedicated to Spanish author Juan de la Cueva, who, in 1575, wrote of a Mexican dish that combined seedless chipotles with beer: Chipotle Ale is based on Rogue’s Oregon Golden Ale, but delicately spiced with smoked chipotle chile peppers. Deep golden in color with a tight head, rich malty aroma, delicately smooth and crisp flavor, and subtle chipotle chili finish. Formerly known and packages as Mexicali Rogue, Chipotle Ale is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, and Maier Munich Malts; Willamette and Cascade hops; and Smoked Jalapeno (Chipolte) Peppers. Chipotle Ale is targeted for spring release and available in a 22-ounce bottle and on draft. Blend it with Rogue Chocolate Stout and create a Mole’ black and tan! | |

| 5 | Mt. Pleasant Brewing | Created by accident, a chance blending of raspberry wheat and stout, we recreated this crowd pleaser for distribution. Call it a mad scientist production, call it a miracle, call it dumb luck if you want; we call it serendipity. To those that claim they can only drink one fruit beer or that they don't enjoy them at all, please give this one a try. The blackberries are deliciously subtle giving this wheat ale/stout blend just that little something extra that keeps them coming back for more. Easy drinking by itself or, like the raspberry wheat, a great beer to enjoy with dessert. | |
| 8 | New Belgium Brewing | Say Hola to a spiced up ale full of cocoa and ancho, guajillo, chipotle peppers. But don’t fear the heat, because plenty of caramel and chocolate malts bring a smooth, complex flavor to our Cocoa Molé. Scents of cinnamon when poured will have you saying, “¡Olé for molé!” | |

| 4 | Arbor Brewing Company | This kettle-soured Berliner Weisse pours hazy straw yellow with a stark white foam.

The crew used a special peach tea instead of our normal black tea and lemon in a batch of Kill all the Golfers and this is what we got.

This vanilla prominence is complemented by the woody bourbon flavors and coconut notes that are imparted to the beer as part of its extensive maturation in oak bourbon barrels. Mash & Vanilla is best enjoyed fresh to experience the vanilla flavors at peak strength. | |

| 7 | Stone | Appearance: Pours deep golden with a light haze that clears as the beer warms. Aroma: Belgian yeast clove-like aromatics and banana, followed by hints of smokiness. Taste: Fruit and spiciness from the Belgian yeast, followed by a more pronounced smoky woodiness. The finish is malty, with a touch of alcohol. There’s a really nice blend of flavors of here. Palate: Full bodied, but very dry with a lingering hop bitterness. Overall: It means a lot to us to have brewed this particular beer in memory of Matt Courtright. Matt was a very creative and talented brewer, and we knew that brewing this amazing recipe would be a wonderful way to pay tribute to everything Matt brought to us. I love how all the flavors play together very well, and this beer should be suitable for aging at cellar temperatures for several years. | |

| 4 | Arbor Brewing | A surprisingly easy-drinking dark ale with a medium body malty palate and a smooth dry finish. Our alt is brewed in the tradition of the German sticke or secret alt which was a fuller darker and higher alcohol alt served unadvertised by German brewpubs at regular ale prices as a reward to regular customers who knew to ask for it. | |
| 9 | Stone | When our illustrious brewing team spiked a few barrels of the Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine with our Belgian yeast strain last year, we absolutely loved it. So much, in fact, that we knew we needed an excuse to make more. So, in our unending quest to constantly challenge the status quo (even our own), we came up with Odd Beers for Odd Years, a program to release odd beers – e.g. Stone Old Guardian BELGO Barley Wine – in odd years (2011, 2013, 2015…). It was met with a bit of resistance (to say the least) since we weren’t originally offering the traditional Old Guardian alongside it, but we’ve mended our ways and decided to make both. You’re welcome. | |

Memorize location and leave. Return exactly one year later. Dig up bottle, open and enjoy. | |

| 6 | The Bruery | Horchata is a traditional, sweet, milky drink originating in Spain and Latin America that has become quite popular in Southern California, particularly with Mexican cuisine. Our take on the traditionally non-alcoholic drink is a blonde ale brewed with a heavy dosing of rice, cinnamon and fresh vanilla beans along with lactose for a litle extra creamy character. If you didn’t know better, you’d think it was carbonated horchata. The flavor is hard to describe, but for those who know it, you know you love it. | |

| 6 | Mt. Pleasant Brewing | Pale Ale brewed with Yarrow, Myrtle and Rosemary. What is gruit you might ask? Gruit is a blend of herbs that brewers added to their beer in the renaissance times if not before.

Sacred Gruit ale is a pale ale brewed with primary combination of three mild to moderate herbs yarrow, sweet gale (myrtle) and marsh rosemary (wild rosemary). Don’t be afraid to go hopless, you never know you might just like it!!!! | |

| 4 | Dogfish Head | SeaQuench Ale is our session sour quencher made with lime peel, black lime and sea salt. It’s a citrusy-tart union of three German styles of beer blissfully brewed into one.

| 4 | Virtue Cider | Sidra de Nava is a tart, lemony summer Spanish-style sidra. The Asturias region produces 80% of the Sidra in Spain, and the Asturian summer is something to behold. The skies are clear and blue, the cafés full, and Sidra reigns supreme. Every café and Sidrería pours it – either ’thrown’ from a bottle or pipa (pitcher) held high overhead or straight from the kupela (barrel). Afternoon drinking under those blue skies leads to long nights of music, dancing and of course, more Sidra. The climax of the summer is the Festival de la Sidra in the village of Nava, held each July. Virtue’s Sidra de Nava is more tart than the dry ciders of England or funky cidre from France. It’s lemony nose and bracingly tart dry finish are a happy intersection of cider, dry white wine and fresh squeezed lemonade. It’s the most refreshing of drinks, pure sunshine in a glass. | |

| 4 | Stone | Rick Blankemeier & Robert Chandler’s Sprocketbier Black Rye Kolsch Style. We’ve been brewing together for the better part of three years. Rick is an amazing homebrewer and always has at least one spare recipe hidden somewhere in that magnificent head of his. Robbie, on the other hand, is the Igor to Rich’s Dr. Frankenstein (but with less hunchback and more beard). Armed with only a four-letter acronym (KISS) and a mission to make a beer that was balanced and complex but still sessionable, Rick jotted down a recipe on a sticky note that would impress even the most seasoned brewmaster. Out of 19 amazing beers brewed by 19 teams of the best brewers at Stone Brewing Co., Steve Wagner (Co-founder & President), Greg Koch (Co-founder & CEO), and Mitch Steele (Brewmaster) chose this one after a blind tasting of the top nine beers. As we write this, we are honored and humbled by the decision to select our beer for the very first Stone Brewing Co. Spotlight Series release. Our original goal was to pay tribute to the SNL Sprockets skit by creating a beer that even Dieter would think "is dark and easy to drink," and we’re pretty sure we succeeded (Dieter’s not around to ask). We love this beer and can’t wait to share it with beer geeks and Stone fans around the country. Before you delve into this Impressively Dark and Amazingly Balanced beer, let us propose a toast to the ones we have lost, and to those of us who will never let their memories be forgotten…… Cheers, Prost, Salud and Good Memories to all! | |

| 6 | Bell's | Bell’s Wheat Project (2005) is an experimental foray into the development of complex flavors in beer. The Project comprises five new ales, four in series and one specialty strong product. The first four, Wheat 2, Wheat 4, Wheat 6 and Wheat eight are all made using 55% Wheat (either wholly or mostly malted) and 45% Barley malt. The barley malt makeup is exactly the same in each of the four and consists of three different malts. The total amount of grain in each of the four is also exactly the same, so each of them should have a virtually identical original gravity. The type and amount of hops in each of the four is exactly the same. And the processing through the brewhouse and fermentation is also exactly the same. The changing factors between the ales are the composition of the 55% of wheat used and the type and number of yeast strains used. In Wheat 2 the 55% of wheat is made up of two different kinds of wheat malt, and this ale is made with two different yeasts. Wheat 4 is made with four different wheats and four yeasts. Wheat six and eight made with six and eight wheats and yeasts respectively. The final product, Bell’s Wheat Love Ale, is made with the eight yeasts of Wheat eight and is a strong, but relatively light colored, “wheatwine.” 2.

| 6 | Stone | Stochasticity Project Your Father Smelt of Elderberries is a modern representation of a medieval beer recipe that used items such as elderberries for spicing before hops became the go-to bittering agent in brews. To complement the light tartness of the elderberries, the brewers at Stone Brewing added Target and East Kent Golding hops to keep with the English theme and mix in a little modern brewing practice with the old. Since malts during the medieval period were dried over peat or wood fires, peat-smoked malt was used to mimic the smoky note that these beers were believed to have. The final product is a 10.3% ABV ale that is guaranteed to be both a complex and unique drinking experience for craft beer fans. This offering can be enjoyed either fresh or aged when cellared at temperatures of 55°F or lower. | |
