jmcintyre — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:53:42 +0000

From our friends Wendy and Don at Vanberg & DeWulf:

"The first shipment of Lava has reached U.S. shores!

A Smoked Russian Imperial Stout with a full, pitch-black body and a dense brown head, Lava scored a 99 on Ratebeer. It is richly flavored with notes of dark chocolate, rummy plum, roasted malt, espresso, and lactose, with birch smoke in the finish. Lava is highly sought after by Scandinavian beer geeks - taste it and you will understand why. Lava is available in in 30L keg and 50 cl bottle formats. First come, first served!"

Only available in very limited quantities!

For centuries, this region has been the richest repository of gastronomic beers in the world. When we began importing in 1982, Belgian beers were virtually unknown in the United States, and American micro-brewing was in its infancy. Today the U.S. is indisputably the most vibrant, raucous exciting brewing culture in the world. Among American cognoscenti, Belgian beers are rightly revered and widely imitated. If you would like to know why, or if you would like to help contribute to their continued vitality, you have come to the right place.

Greetings from beautiful Colorado!

Living here in our great state requires great balance - there's just simply too much to do! Soak in over 300 days of sunshine a year. Catch a show at Red Rocks. Climb to the top of 14,255' Longs Peak. Catch an Avs or Rockies game. Drop into some fresh powder at A-Basin. Tee up on the first hole at Haystack Mountain. Fly fish the South Platte. With so many choices, how does one manage?

STOUT

Brewed By:

Left Hand Brewing

Self-Defined Style:

Stout

Strength (ABV):

6.0% ABV

Bitterness (IBU):

25 IBU

Dark & delicious, America’s great milk stout will change your perception about what a stout can be. Pouring hard out of the bottle, Milk Stout Nitro cascades beautifully, building a tight, thick head like hard whipped cream. The aroma is of brown sugar and vanilla cream, with hints of roasted coffee. The pillowy head coats your upper lip and its creaminess entices your pallet. Initial roasty, mocha flavors rise up, with slight hop & roast bitterness in the finish. The rest is pure bliss of milk chocolate fullness.

What is a good beer or beer style for cold weather?

rch — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:55:47 +0000

Question: What is a good beer or beer style for cold weather?

It is the middle of winter. The holiday season is past and there is not much to do but shiver and look forward to spring. What is a beer lover to do?

Personally, I do not pay that much attention to the weather when I am picking out beer, at least not consciously. I probably pick different beers one a hot sunny day than I would on a cold, rainy day but I do not do so with a plan. Even so, I know that there are some beers than lend themselves more readily to cold weather than others.
