New Products In This Week

New Product Announcements


Stone Imperial Russian Stout - Limited spring 2008 release. Brewed in the authentic historical style of an Imperial Russian Stout, this beer is massive. Intensely aromatic (notes of anise, black currants, coffee, roastiness, and alcohol) and heavy on the palate, this brew goes where few can--and fewer dare even try. The style originated from Czarist Russia's demand for ever thicker English Stouts. Expect this mysterious brew to pour like Siberian crude and taste even heavier.
Springboard Ale - New Belgium's spring seasonal is back! 98% ale brewed with wormwood, lycium, and schisandra. 2% ale aged in oak barrels.
Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale - Back by popular demand, this ale is brewed with honey, orange peel, and natural flavor, with orange flower extract added. Buffalo Bill's Brewery opened in 1983, brewing and bottling fine handcrafted ales. It is located 30 minutes southeast of San Francisco.
Decadent Imperial I.P.A. - A new bomber from Ska Brewing Company of Durango.
Old Speckled Hen English Fine Ale - Imported from England in 14.9 ounce 4-pack cans. First brewed to commemerate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory and affectionately named after an old MG car used as a factory runaround. A finely balanced ale with a smooth rich malty taste.
Cono Sur Pinot Noir - This pinot noir is a wine with a story to tell. It was born in Old Vines 78, a Colchagua Valley block, where flocks of geese are daily seen rummaging the vines, ecologically doing away with potentially harmful insects. This land holds Chile's first plantation of pinot noir, dating back to 1968, when its foggy cool micro-climate and balanced stone clay soils were recognized as a gifted origin for this variety. Fresh and intense fruit notes of plum, cherry, and raspberry combine with slight floral and earthy tones. The wine maker intends this pinot noir to be fresh and expressive and so they sealed it with a specially designed screwcap to keep it so. Uncap the saga and let it live on.
Corralejo Tequila - The true flavor of this tequila is obtained through the double distillation of fermented musts of Weber blue agave tequila carefully cooked in stone ovens. The final distilled product is rectified and deluded for bottling to the required alcohol strength. The aroma is smooth and wooden-like accompanied by sweet, fruit full notes. A very smooth tasting tequila.
