Week of 2/25/11

Hey now! Greetings from a rainy Bayside, NY. This week we have several new bottles on the list including the all mighty Allagash Tripel Reserve, one fine Belgian inspired goodie as well as Founders imperial Porter. Founders can't produce beer fast enough and one taste of this hefty beer and you will know why. Also take a stab at the all new River Horse Tripel on tap. At 10% abv this beer packs a wallop! Any suggestions, please let us know....

New menu 2/17/22

Hola amigos and welcome to the first decently warm day in ages. As the weather heats up slightly the last of our Winter ales are being drank and some new lighter refreshments are coming on board. Two highlights this week come from the great East Coast. First, in bottle, is the ultra limited Cigar City Humidor Series Jai Alai Cedar Aged IPA. Via the hottest brewery today, Cigar City in Tampa, this is one hell of a beer that skillfully takes their standard IPA and ages it in cedar. This process results in a softened IPA that has many nuances of flavor that are usually masked behind the hop bite. Draft wise, we just added River Horse Tripel Horse to the taps. Via New Jersey, this is unique take on the Belgian golden ale. It haas a big body and rich mouth feel that goes down so easily you forget the 10%abv it has. Be careful, it can sneak up on you! Anyways, on to this weeks list!
