Check out this great interview with Fritz Maytag, owner of Anchor brewing and considered by many to be the farther of craft brewing here in the U.S. God, I'd love to have a beer with this guy. He's been brewing craft beer since before I could even talk!.. .Alvey
These beers are something very special, they are from the last remaining Lambic Blender in Belgium. The Hanssens family started brewing in 1871 then, in World War 1 all of the copper brewing equipment was taken by the Germans. This forced them to become Blenders. At one point there were about 40 different blenders in Belgium and it became a very respected art form. A blender buys pre brewed wort from other Lambic breweries and age and blend them to make their own Gueuze and fruit Lambic beers. The beers from Hanssens are not your typical sweet fruity beers at all. They are not artificially sweetened. They are fermented with wild yeast and bacteria. If you like sour beers you need to try them. They'll age in cellar conditions for decades but once these are gone they are gone for ever. We have both varieties in stock right now! Alvey
So now the weather resembles that of a west coast Irish fishing village (makes you want to stay indoors and drink) we have the perfect beer for you. New Holland Ichabod is a fall seasonal Pumpkin Ale brewed with real pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. What better way to spend a gloomy day watching rain and wind. I certainly can't think of any....Alvey
Every tried the Avery Kaiser? No? Then you should! It's about the only imperial Oktoberfest I've ever heard of and it's very impressive. A small batch seasonal from our friends at Avery, CO, this won't be around long. From the label: "The Kaiser once said," Give me a woman who loves brew and I will conquer the world." If the Kaiser and his significant other had tipped this bottle we'd all be "Sprechenden Deutsch". We took all that is good in a traditional Oktoberfest - gorgeous, deep copper sheen, massive malty backbone and spicy, floral, pungent noble hops - then intensified each into this, an imperial Oktoberfest. Brewed with imported German malted barley and noble hops, authentic German lager yeast and rocky mountain water."
We'll be open today from 10:00am till 5:00pm. Come down and try some! Alvey
