Straffe Hendrik Brugs Quadrupel Ale

From the Brewer – “Straffe Hendrik Quadruple is a rich and intense dark beer of high fermentation. It is brewed using a subtle mixture of special malts, which give the beer an extremely dark colour and a complex full malt character. This Quadruple combines a pure dryness with a rich fullness, flavoured with just a hint of fruit. The continuing process of re-fermentation in the bottle creates a beer which can be stored over a number of years, with an ever-changing and ever-improving taste as a result.

It is brewed by the last active brewery in the historical city of Bruges. The town archives first mention the brewery in 1546. Since 1856, the famous brewing family Maes-Vanneste has owned the brewery.”

Alcohol by volume: 11%
Format: 6 packs
Seasonality: Year Round

Brew Dog Punk IPA

From the Brewer – “This 5.6% 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.”

Hops: Chinook, Simcoe, Ahtanum, Nelson Sauvin
Malts: Marris Otter Extra Pale Malt
Hop Bitterness (IBU’s): 45
Original Gravity: 1053
Alcohol by volume: 5.16
Format: 6 packs
Seasonality: Year Round

Chimay Ale Tripel

Taste : Subtle combination of fresh hops and yeast that is improved by a bitter touch.

From the Brewer – “The Chimay Triple, last-born of the Abbey, is labelled “Cinq Cents” on the 750 ml bottle. Of a golden colour, the Trappist beer combines sweet and bitter in a rare balance. The beer’s aroma felt in the mouth comes from the hops’ perfumes: above all, they are fruity touches of Muscat grapes and raisins, even ripe apples. This traditional Belgian beer is best savoured fresh at a temperature of from 6 to 8°C.”

Alcohol by volume: 8%
Format: 6 packs
Seasonality: Year Round

Smuttynose Winter Ale

From the Brewer – Smuttynose Winter Ale is a full-bodied, amber beer brewed with a special Trappist ale yeast. Stylistically reminiscent of a Belgian Abbey Double, it features fruity aromas and flavor, balanced by soft Crystal hops. Warming, mellow & pleasantly complex, Smuttynose Winter Ale is your perfect cold weather companion.”

Yeast: Trappist ale
Alcohol by volume: 5.1%
Format: 6 packs
Seasonality: Winter

Left Hand Stranger American Pale Ale

From the Brewer – Sane or senseless? Harmless or harmful? Sometimes it takes awhile to get to know a stranger. Initial impressions are not always reality, so you must delve deeper. Beyond the initial floral hop aromas, malt sweetness is revealed, yet with a spicy undertone that exposes a very rye sense of humor. Take your time to get to know the Stranger. It’s strangely satisfying.”

Hops: Centennial, Willamette and Cascade
Malts: 2-Row, Rye Malt, Munich and Crystal
Hop Bitterness (IBU’s): 36
Original Gravity: 12 plato
Alcohol by volume: 5%
Format: 12 oz. bottles
Seasonality: Year Round

Green Flash Hop Head Red Ale

From the Brewer – “Resinous hop characteristics emerge from an enormous hopping with Columbus, Nugget and Amarillo overtaking the rich caramel malt base. To add luscious
hop flavors and enticingly floral hop aromas, we dry-hop the brew with bucket loads of Amarillo hops. Welcome to the world of Red IPA.”

Heavy Seas Below Decks Barleywine Ale

From the Brewer – “Our English style barleywine – rich, malty, and opulent. Great at time of release but will benefit from bottle aging for many years to come.”

Below Decks Beer Balls
1 lb ground beef
1 t  garlic powder
1 t  onion powder
black pepper
2 T worcestershire sauce
3/4 c ketchup
12 oz Below Decks Barleywine
1 T flour

Mix spices and 1 T of the barleywine into ground beef to taste. Form into small balls and cook until done. Mix ketchup, barleywine, worcestershire sauce in a separate pot and simmer for 20 minutes, reducing the liquid a bit. 

Place drained meatballs & sauce into a crock pot and cook on low heat for at least 2 hours.  If a thicker sauce is preferred, before serving, sprinkle 1 T of flour over meatballs and stir.

Makes about 36 small meatballs.

Alcohol by volume: 10%
Format: 1 pint 6 oz. bottle
Seasonality: Vintage Dated

The Lost Abbey Devotion Ale

From the Brewer – “It’s an unassuming road leading to the priory. Here, off the corner of two intersecting roads, dedicated monks have been making beer for over 150 years. It’s always been a simple life — the kind that requires they brew only enough to sustain the activities of their monastery. In the silence of passing seasons, they pray, they brew and retire in solitary existence behind the sheltering walls. They live a most interesting life. Most likely one we couldn’t sustain.

Nearby, each summer, the trellised fields spring to life as rows of resinous green cones are trained toward the heavens. Rumor is some monks love these hops and being surrounded by budding yellow aromas and the leafy pungent fields inspired them. Since we aren’t sensible enough to locate our brewery near hop fields, we can only offer this blond ale in celebration of our Abbey brethren and their steadfast Devotion.

Yeast: Blend of three yeasts
Hops: CO2 Extract, Northern Brewer and German Tettnang
Malts: 2 Row and 15L Crystal
Alcohol by volume: 6.25%
Format: 1 pint 9.4 oz. bottle
Seasonality: Year Round

Ommegang Adoration Special Winter Ale

From the Brewer – “Ommegang Adoration, brewed in the authentic style of Belgian winter, or noel beer, is dark, strong, malty and assertively spiced.

At 10% abv Adoration is not a lightweight beer, and is best sipped before a roaring fire, or on a sleigh ride over the hills to Grandma’s house. (But let someone else drive.) It would also be a tasty accompaniment to dark roasts and wild game.  Even at the strong abv, the beer is well-balanced and not at all hot or fiery. The dark malts give it lush, malty flavors and aromas, strongly complemented by the five spices, including coriander, cumin, mace, cardamom and grains of paradise. Hopping is modest, as befits such a beer.”

Alcohol by volume: 10%
Format: 1pt 9.4oz Bottles
Seasonality: Winter

Delirium Tremens

“Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that involves sudden and severe mental or nervous system changes.”

From the Brewer – “Feels like the sound shot of alcohol is igniting the mouth. In reality the tongue and palate are warmed. The taste is characterized by its roundness. The aftertaste is strong, long-lasting and dry bitter.”

Colour and sight: pale blond, the fine and regular effervesce ensures a fine and stable head.
Scent: Slightly malty, a nice touch of alcohol, spicy.

Alcohol by volume: 8.5%
Format: 6 packs
Seasonality: Year Round
