New Arrival: Southern Tier Choklat

January 14th, 2010 Elliott No comments

Choklat Stout - Imperial Chocolate Stout

The Ancients called it ‘food for the gods’

The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, we’re not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples.
 
 Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been realized in our brewing house, encompassing the complexity of the darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original frothy cold beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series Choklat Stout. We have combined the finest ingredients to tempt your senses & renew the power & interrelation of history in every bottle.”


9.1% abv • 195º L •  22 oz / 1/6 keg
2-row barley / caramel 60 malt / barley flakes / chocolate malt / bittersweet Belgian chocolate / kettle hops: chinook & willamette

Growler Hour 1/13

January 12th, 2010 Elliott No comments

For tomorrow’s Growler Hour we have a stellar line-up!  We are very pleased to announce that we will be tapping an extremely rare keg from Harpoon: 

100 Barrel Series #29 Ginger Wheat 

Only 4 kegs have been sent to this region of the US and we’ve got one!  This American Pale Wheat Ale has an intriguing aroma for fresh, crisp ginger.  The flavor is peppery and refreshing, led by the ginger but not overpowered. Honey sweetness and fresh herbal notes of basil, thyme, and jasmine round out the palate.  A bit of kaffir lemon completes the Thai-oriented taste profile.  This beer screams to be enjoyed with your favorite Thai food! 
Weighing in at 7.00% ABV, it’s not your typical ‘wussy-wheat’ beer.  With plenty of body, this excellent beer is versatile as both a winter warmer and crisp summer refresher.  Come on in for a taste – this one’s sure to sell out quick!

Also on tap:

Avery The Czar 11.03% ABV

Allagash White  5.20% ABV

Bells Best Brown 5.80% ABV

Breckenridge 471 Small Batch 9.20% ABV  **HOPHEAD ALERT**

Dogfish Head 90 Minute 9.00% ABV  **HOPHEAD ALERT**

Also – Tomorrow Night is OPEN MIC NIGHT at Laura Alberts – so bring your friends who have musical talent or just a knack for entertaining, have a beer and kick back.
