Updated beer list for December 8th 2008!

Winter is officially here as Bayside saw its first snowfall last night. Not too much but enough to awaken the desire for dark beers! This week we have a few very special additions to our list. The two highlights include Jewbilation 12, a limited edition strong brown ale from the makers of the HeBrew series, and Kruscovice Dark, a schwarzbier style Czech beer. Its rare to see a European beer on our draft system so you know this one is special! Well hoppy holidaze to you all! See you at Press!

Stone Ruination (CA) A liquid Poem to the glory of the hop. Beware! A massive hop monster 22 oz. 7.7% abv

Rockies Brewing Cold Hop (CO): English style ale with a strong burst of hops greets you upon the first sip, well balanced beer! 22oz. 6.8% abv

Local 1 (Brooklyn): Belgian-inspired strong golden pale ale. The rare old technique of bottle re-fermentation gives this beer complex flavors of honey and pears. Try with spicy foods. 22oz 9% abv

Stone IPA (CA): “Dry hopped” for an extra 2 weeks, this unique process produces an IPA with a great hop aroma and flavor. 22oz 6.9% abv

Lagunitas We’re Only In It For the Money (CA)): 4th in this special Frank Zappa limited series, this pays homage to Zappa’s 4th album. Amazing bottle label. A Belgian golden triple style sort of ale. Strong stuff! 22oz 8.2%abv

DRAFT LIST

Outrage IPA (Garrattsville, NY): Brewed by our friend and local Bayside native, Kenny Landin, in conjunction with our friends at Butternuts Brewery, this is the very first release from Landin ales. A nice floral hop with a crisp finish, this is a great session beer. Support local! 6% abv

Jewbulation 12 (New York): STRONG ALE! At 12% abv, this is one big mofo of a beer-- rich, strong, and full-bodied. This is a silky smooth brown ale with fine carbonation, and is in every way, shape, and form a sipper. Served in 12 oz. glasses, grab one now as this is limited and will not be back for a year! 12% abv

Krusovice Dark (Czech Republic): “Krus” is a classic Czech black beer or Schwarzbier which in simple terms is a dark lager beer. Don’t be fooled by the opaque, black color, this is much milder and less bitter than any dark beer you have tasted. Remarkably smooth! 4.9% abv

Magic Hat #9 (Vermont): A rather dry, crisp, fruity, refreshing, not quite pale ale that has been a staple of Vermont life for many moons, #9 will continue to win over new drinkers. Spicy food will taste even better with this brew! 4.6% abv

Blue Point Toasted Lager (Patchogue): A local favorite! Copper in color, this brew is made from 6 different malts. Well balanced and easy to drink, the “toasted” refers to the direct fire brew kettle’s hot flames that impart a toasted flavor. 6% abv

Keegan’s Mothers Milk (Kingston,NY): As the name implies, this is a dark and creamy milk stout. Hints of oatmeal, chocolate and of course milk, give this stout a remarkably smooth finish. 5.5% abv

Allagash White Beer (Maine): Our number one seller is a traditional Belgian wheat beer brewed with a generous portion of wheat and a special blend of spices, this beer is light and delicious! Pairs well with just about any sandwich! 5.5% abv

Flying Dog Tire Bite Golden Ale (Colorado): Refreshingly light with a flavorful hop edge. This is perfect for those seeking the lighter side of craft beers, pairs perfectly with a Hudson salad. 5.1% abv
