Batemans Brewery XXXB...$4.99 / pint
"A deep bronze colour and tight, off-white head. On the palate it is smooth and full, with a nice interplay between grassy hops and lemony crispness, with a pleasing malt backbone. the finish is long and flavourful." -- Brewery


Good Honest Ales
"In 1874, George & Suzanna Bateman decided to sell their farm and purchase a small brewery in Wainfleet in Lincolnshire. For more than 100 years and 4 generations, the Batemans continued to build their family brewery, becoming one of England's most respected producers of traditional cask ales.
As the market for cask ales had nearly disappeared by 1970, the future of the Batemans brewery was very much in doubt. However the emergence of CAMRA resurrected the cask beer movement. For Batemans, the tide shifted dramatically in 1986 when its flagship Triple XB (XXXB) Premium Ale was judged Beer of the Year, at the Great British Beer Festival. Triple XB (XXXB) would continue to add multiple awards over the next several years, and become one of England's best-loved Ales.
Still under family leadership, Stuart and Jaclyn Bateman have expanded the range of beers to include a wide variety of award-winning cask and bottled ales - now returning to the U.S. after a 10-year absence." -- importer

First Place - Coffee Beer

"While we wouldn’t recommend having this at breakfast with your bacon and eggs, our Coffee Beer is made with real coffee and has a caffeine hit to match. The natural flavours of the beans selected and hand roasted by our friends at the Union Coffee Roasters go well with the roast barley in the beer to give a silky-smooth drink with distinct
chocolate and vanilla notes. Our first formulation of this beer was the first
UK brewed beer to carry the Fairtrade logo, and although we have reformulated it to create an even better blend of malt and roast coffee flavours we can no longer get enough coffee in each bottle to qualify for Fairtrade status. We are still using the same Faitrade Araba Bourbon beans from Rwanda’s Abuhuzamugambi Cooperative" -- importer

Great Divide Fresh Hop Ale...$6.39 / 22 oz

"The September hop harvest is a once-a-year opportunity to brew with fresh hops, also called “wet hops.” Given the perishable nature of just-harvested hop cones, they are shipped overnight to Great Divide shortly after harvest. The morning of the scheduled hop delivery in Denver, Great Divide’s brewers begin brewing Fresh Hop and are ready to hop the beer just as the fresh hops are delivered.
Using fresh hops is a big endeavor, requiring four to five times the volume of hops compared to the usual process of using pelletized hops. This complex process brings impressive results: Fresh Hop is an American-Style Pale Ale with moderate hop bitterness marked by a unique and intensely grassy hop flavor and aroma. Fresh Hop is a superbly refreshing, medium bodied, light-copper colored pale ale.

Avery Old Jubilation...$8.79 / 6pk

"Our winter strong ale has a gorgeous mahogany hue, a hint of hazelnuts, and a finish reminiscent of mocha and toffee. No spices, just a perfect blend of five specialty malts. Cellarable for 2 years" -- brewery

Avery Out of Bounds Stout...$8.79 / 6pk

"This big, roasty stout takes flavor to the extreme. We aren't afraid to use plenty of rich roasted barley and a mountain of hops to give this full-bodied stout that little extra something you've been looking for in a beer." -- Avery
