SEASONAL

Victory Sunrise Weiss 6pk - Hefeweizen

As invigorating as the morning rays of the summer sun, Sunrise Weissbier satisfies when the heat is on, too. This unfiltered, Bavarian style ale is true to its origins with all ingredients except for the water having been imported from Germany. It remains unfiltered to feature the tangy, fruity flavors of its unique yeast. The imported German malt contributes greatly to add a crisp, citric snap that makes this beer a superb summertime refresher.

Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale 6pk- IPA

Anniversary Ale is an American-style IPA featuring Cascade hops, the signature hop used in our Pale Ale. The beer has a pronounced pine and citrus hop aroma balanced by the sweetness of two-row pale and caramel malts. The result is an unusually well-balanced IPA that proves an IPA can be both assertive and elegant. Anniversary Ale is a medium-bodied, well-hopped ale that finishes with a slight malt sweetness.

Sierra Nevada Southern Hemisphere Harvest Ale 22oz - Pale Ale

This is the first time we know of that an American brewer has put out a beer with fresh-picked hops from the southern hemisphere. Like Celebration Ale, the fresh hops in this beer are dried right after being picked then shipped immediately to Chico for brewing so that they retain their peak aromatics and flavors. The result is a Pale Ale bursting with hop oils and citrus flavor.

Empire Pale Ale 22oz

Very bitter beer with a strong hoppy aroma.  Guardian bottled beer of the year at the 1997 Great British Beer festival, followed by runner up the following year. Brewed to replicate the India Pale Ales that were brewed in Burton to be sent to the Empire in India, now exported by us in the opposite direction to the USA.

Burton Bridge Old Expensive Ale 22oz

A strong British ale that would be considered a winter warmer. Deep amber in color, with a tad more hop temperament than most strong ales. Made with only premium English pale and crystal malt, it has a full malt aroma, with some aged character and a noticeable hop nose. It sits somewhere between a bitter and a barley wine in profile, and is burly enough to be an old ale.

J.W. Lees Harvest Ale 2007 Limited Edition Aged in Lagavulin Casks - 9.3oz

This beer is robust, smoky, peaty, and has some nice fruit characteristics.

J.W. Lees Harvest Ale 2007 Limited Edition Aged in Calvados Casks - 9.3oz

Mmm, love me some Calvados, love me some good beer, what a nice combo, with light apple notes.

Both of these J.W. Lees beers are investment types of beers and both are for the true beer connoisseur. Both are limited edition for 2007. Not only are they both delicious brews but like any fine wine they can be put in the cellar to age, and in 7 years you could auction it on ebay for $100.00.

Full Sail LTD #2 6pk

LTD recipe 02 is a seriously tasty import-style lager that is beautifully balanced. It's a light-bodied, golden colored lager with soft malt undertones and finishes crisp and clean - perfect for the warmer seasons.

Beehive Honey Wheat 6pk

Colorado Springs honey and a unique malt blend give this American wheat a delicious complexity. Beehive is a refreshingly gentle ale, with a honey-gold color and just a suggestion of sweetness in the finish.

Twisted Thistle IPA 16.9oz

This is a good soft malty beer with a hop kick at the end but if you are looking for a hop monster, this is not it. Belhaven tastes more floral hoppy than earthy, and is fairly smooth. It’s an interesting IPA because if differs from the Northwestern U.S. and also from the U.K. styles.

Sierra Nevada ESB 6pk

Sierra Nevada ESB combines the best of English tradition with West Coast style. A blend of malts featuring British-grown Maris Otter is balanced with the earthy spiciness of hand-selected English and US hops. The ale is left unfiltered, which enhances mouth feel and hop aroma creating a slightly reddish-copper hue.

Deschutes The Abyss

Deschutes Brewery officially launched its Reserve Series with Mirror Mirror, a delicious oak-aged barley wine loosely based on a double batch of Mirror Pond Pale Ale. This year our they decided to experiment with an Imperial Stout, appropriately named The Abyss after its dark, deep and mysterious flavor experience.  The Abyss has immeasurable depth with a rich, complex profile.  Hints of molasses, licorice and other alluring flavors draw you in further and further with each sip. 11% abv...get one and drink it in the hot tub.

Avery Maharaja

Maharaja is derived from the sanskrit words mahat, - "great" and rajan - "king". Much like its namesake, this imperial IPA is regal, intense and mighty. With hops and malts as his servants, he rules both with a heavy hand. The Maharaja flaunts his authority over a deranged amount of hops: tangy, vibrant and pungent along with an insane amount of malted barley - fashioning a dark amber hue and exquisite malt essence. 9.78% abv...get some of this hydro yo!!!

Lagunitas Hairy Eyeball Ale

It's Hairy Eyeball time! Just in time to jump-start 2008 with a kick! Rich, thick, dangerous and Chocolaty. Get it while it lasts, limited quantities. 9% ABV. This is a real hooter and if you like a strong ale that is dark and carmely this one is for you.

Anchor Steam Liberty Ale

First introduced in 1975, Liberty Ale® is brewed strictly according to traditional brewing methods, and, like all Anchor Brewing Company products, uses only natural ingredients — water, malted barley, fresh whole hops and yeast.  A special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation and is responsible for many of Liberty Ale's subtle flavors and characteristics.  Limited!!  Get some today and enjoy!!

Anchor Xmas

Every year since 1975 the brewers at Anchor have brewed a distinctive and unique Christmas Ale, which is available from early November to mid-January. The Ale’s recipe is different every year—as is the tree on the label—but the intent with which we offer it remains the same: joy and celebration of the newness of life.

Snowbound Ale

A spiced strong ale, using all natural ingredients to give it its festive nature.  This beer is from a relatively high initial gravity to give it strength and body. This is (in our opinion) appropriate to a winter beer, and it helps to balance the numerous spices added. Honey is also added to increase fermentable sugars and give additional sweetness. Northern Brewer and Saaz hops are used sparingly, to allow the spices to evidence themselves. 

Winter Warlock - Oatmeal Stout

Winner of the Silver Medal in the Foreign-Style Stout category at the 1998 Great American Beer Festival.® Chock full of highly roasted barley malt and 100 lbs. of flaked oatmeal, the Warlock is a dark and satisfying winter elixir. Smooth, rich and exceptionally comforting.

Full Moon

Blue Moon® Full Moon Winter Ale is a subtle winter nut flavor enhanced with winter spices. This beer is what you expect from a winter beer; complex, good color, and heartiness for winter time.

Odell’s Isolation Ale

Ever been in a warm, cozy cabin and had a secret desire to get snowed in? To celebrate the winter season, we offer our Isolation Ale - a traditional winter brew made with premium malts imported from England. It's just one of the reasons Isolation Ale stands alone.

Pipeline Porter

Pipeline Porter is smooth and dark with a distinctive roasty aroma and earthy complexity from its diverse blends of premium malted barley. This celebration of malt unites with freshly roasted 100% Kona coffee grown at Cornwell Estate on Hawaii’s Big Island, lending a unique roasted aroma and flavor.
