New Beers For January 12, 2009

Happy new years to all, hope you were able to enjoy some of the finer beers the winter season offers. My personal favorite is now on tap here, Blue Point Winter. Slighly hoppy, very malty, this beer is one to savor! We are also about to replace another of my favorites, Victory Pilsner, with another fine Pilsner, Raddeberger from across the globe in Germany.
Come on in and enjoy.....


ON DRAFT...
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
Victory Prima Pils (PA): Grand Champion Pilsner 2002-2005. A classy quencher in the tradition of the great pilsners of Europe. Dry and delightful! Try a pint with an order of our famous Belgian fries. 5.3 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 Winter Ale (Patchogue): A local favorite! A hearty and robust amber ale. Brewed to chase away the chill of a cool winter night. Made with Pale, Vienna, crystal and chocolate malt. 5% abv
Keegan’s Joe Mama’s Milk (Kingston,NY): RARE RELEASE!! Only 15 kegs available and we have one! Keegan’s took the Mother’s Milk recipe and added local roasted coffee from Woodstock’s Muddy Cup for a very special winter treat! Grab one before it’s gone 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

Bottles of The Week
Ommegang Three Philosophers (NY): A classic Belgian style winter limited release, this is a strong beer!! A powerful marriage of cherries, roasted malts, and dark chocolate will be sure to please you.
Make sure you share this one! 25.4oz 9.8% abv
Julies Echter Weiss (wheat) Beer (Germany): You may find yourself drinking a few of these, so be careful. This Bavarian beer is smooth and easy to drink. 16.9oz 4.9% 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
Rogue American Amber (Oregon): Tawny amber in color with a red beer aroma and smooth finish. A delicate roasted malt accent, generous use of hops and a refreshing after taste. 22 oz. 5.6% abv

Arrogant bastard Ale (CA): This is an aggressive beer. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. 22 oz 7.2% abv ask your server about the Christmas bottle!
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
