Although beers are brewed from similar materials,
beers throughout the world have distinctive styles. Their uniqueness comes from
the mineral content of the water used, the types of ingredients employed, and
the difference in brewing methods. In a strict sense, there are two classical
beer styles, ales and lagers. However, in addition to ales and lagers, there are
other classical beer styles such as wheat beers, porters, stouts, and lambics

Sah'tea
- Dogfish Head Craft Brewery; Milton, DE The
brewers at Dogfish are known for pushing the limits of what beer is and
can be. Sah'tea is no exception: a variation on the Finnish Sahti
style, Sah'tea is a light, cloudy ale, brewed with black chai tea and
juniper berries. It is sweet, somewhat spicy, has a warming alcohol
finish and is perfect for a cool Fall night.

Flower
Power IPA - Ithaca Beer Co.; Ithaca, NY
Flower
Power is a fantastic West Coast-style India Pale Ale (IPA), but with some
of the refinement more common to East Coast beers. The Flowers of
the name refer, of course, to the hop flowers whose floral, citrusy, and
slightly bitter taste dominate (but don't overwhelm) this beer.

craft beer that is San Diego County, comes this French/Belgian-style Biere
de Garde. Biere de Gardes are a traditional farmhouse ale, made in
the summer and fall, aged, and consumed during the winter and spring.
Avant Garde is an American interpretation of the style, with a toasty malt
character, slight bitterness, and hints of pepper and yeast. Try
this with soft farmhouse cheeses and cold cuts.

Samichlaus
Bier 2007 - Castle Brewery Eggenberg; Eggenberg, Austria Unquestionably
one of the world's outstanding beers, Samichlaus (Santa Claus in German)
is brewed each December 6 and aged for 10 months before bottling.
Our bottles were brewed in December of 2007 and have been bottle-aged for
an additional six months to enhance the beer's complexity and drinkability.
Samichlaus shows hints of dark fruit and caramel, and is great as a
digestive. It also works beautifully with cigars. 14%

WildDevil
Ale - Victory Brewing Company; Downington, PA In
recent years there's been a trend in American craft beer towards making
"wild" ales. This involves fermenting batches of beer with wild yeast
strains rather than commercial brewing yeast. Wild ales are tart,
sometimes sour and have many layers of complexity. WildDevil takes
Victory's Hop Devil Double-IPA and infects it with Brewttanomces.
The result is an ale with an initial smack of hop bitterness, citrussy and
floral hop flavor, and a tart, dry finish. Certainly one of the most
complex beers in the store. 6.7%

Fourteen
- Weyerbacher Brewing Company; Easton, PA TO
celebrate it's fourteenth birthday Weyerbacher has decided to tackle a
style which is very rarely attempted: Wheatwine. Wheatwine is a
distinctly American invention - a hybrid between an English Barleywine
(strong, hoppy ale) and a wheat beer. Weyerbacher's is a particularly
smooth example of the style. It has hints of citrus, caramel, floral
hops, and booze. Another great after-dinner beverage, this one would
also be wonderful with a creme-brulee. 11.8%
ABV, $3.75/12ox or $14.99/four-pack |
