Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale

Product - Oskar Blues Dales
Brewed By: 
Oskar Blues
Self-Defined Style: 
American Pale Ale
Strength (ABV): 
6.5% ABV

Dale's Pale Ale is our flagship beer and America's first hand-canned craft beer. It's an assertive but deftly balanced beer (somewhere between an American pale ale and an India Pale Ale) brewed with hefty amounts of European malts and American hops. It features a meringue-like head, a copper color, and a hoppy nose, thanks to a big post-boil addition of Centennial hops. To complement its hoppy first impression, Dale's also sports a rich middle of malts and hops, and a bracing finish.

Best With: 
This intense example of an American Pale Ale would have a wonderful relationship with a hearty meal of steaks, stews and chili's. Strong and sharp cheeses, like the Roquefort or Stilton would pair nicely.

Andrew Jefford, the respected UK drinks critic, sums up ESB's flavor thus: ''an ample, grainy-nutty aroma and a broad, authoritative flavor, with lashings of dry marmalade-like bitters'', whilst 'Beer Supremo' Roger Protz describes ''an enormous attack of rich malt, tangy fruit and spicy hops in the mouth, with a profound Goldings peppery note in the long finish and hints of orange, lemon and gooseberry fruit''.

Best With: 
This clean bitter can be used as a digestif or with game style meats like boar, veal or even a hearty steak. With its caramel notes this strong ale pairs with chocolates and sharp cheeses, as well as traditional bar foods.

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.

Best With: 
Whether it is paired with pasta marinara, a brick-oven pizza, Flemish stew, spice-rubbed pork tenderloin or dal makhani, Maudite is 'devilishly' satisfying.

Self-Defined Style: 
Imperial Stout Brewed with Coffee & Chocolate
Strength (ABV): 
11.0% ABV
Color (SRM): 
40º L

It is through similar cooperation that the simple bitter cocoa bean is transformed into a sweet treat. As scientists, our brewers utilize their materials to exacting standards. As artists, they couldn’t resist the temptation to combine two of our highly acclaimed Blackwater Series Imperial Stouts: Jahva and Choklat. Alone each is perfect, but together as Mokah they are an inimitable expression of two of the world’s most sought after flavors.

Best With: 
Enjoy Mokah stout with – or as – your favorite dessert!

American Brown Ale
Strength (ABV): 
5.9% ABV

Old Brown Dog has been cited as a classic example of the "American Brown Ale" style of beer. Compared to a typical English Brown Ale, Old Brown Dog is fuller-bodied and more strongly hopped.

product: 

Oskar Blues G'Knight

Product - Oskar Blues Gordon
Brewed By: 
Oskar Blues
Self-Defined Style: 
Double IPA
Strength (ABV): 
8.7% ABV

G'Knight (formerly Gordon) is a hybrid version of strong ale, somewhere between an Imperial Red and a Double IPA. We make it with six different malts and three types of hops, then dry-hop it with a mutha lode of Amarillo hops. It features a gooey, resiny aroma and a luscious mouth feel. G'Knight is brewed with dash of chocolate malt in it, to round out its load of hops and balance the beer. The result is an assertive yet exceptionally smooth version of strong beer.

Best With: 
A general rule of thumb with this beer is 'the spicier the better.' The impressive hop bitterness in this beer can stand up to just about any degree of spiciness in dry rubbed ribs, Cajun cuisine, curry based Indian food, or wasabi spiced Japanese fare.

Bosteels Pauwel Kwak

Product - Bosteels Kwak
Brewed By: 
Bosteels
Self-Defined Style: 
Belgian Amber Ale
Strength (ABV): 
8.0% ABV

Kwak is a rich amber in color with a slightly sweet, generously malty character. Hops are subdued, but present a well-considered balance with the juicy ripeness of grain a fruity, meringue softness.

Best With: 
The strong carbonation of this blond would lift the oils from a rosemary salmon, leaving the flavors to mesh and melt on the palate.
product: 

Dogfish Head Red & White

Product - Dogfish Head Red & White
Brewed By: 
Dogfish Head
Self-Defined Style: 
Witbier with Pinot Noir Juice
Strength (ABV): 
10.0% ABV

A big, Belgian-style Wit brewed with coriander and orange peel and fermented with Pinot Noir juice. After fermentation a fraction of the batch is aged in Oregon Pinot Noir barrels, and another fraction is aged on oak staves. The beer is blended together before packaging to successfully marry the refreshing citrusy qualities of a Belgian-style white beer with the robust complexity of a bold red wine.

Best With: 
This beer is truly a wonder with steak au poivre, and is equally suited with dessert fare such as spice cake.
