Beer List I

Maudite has a deep amber-red color with a rocky foam head and an appealing aroma of wild spices and floral hop notes. It is spicy, vinous, and deliciously complex with a crisp hop finish.

Huge, copper-colored, bottle-conditioned ale, still hot off the presses, Achel Trappist Extra is the latest from the tiny brewery at the St. Benedictus Abbey at Achel, in the Northeast of Belgium. At this year's World Beer Championships in Chicago, the Extra was easily the best of the many Trappist beers tasted, scoring 97 points and an "Exceptional" rating. You will find this a very satisfying beer, with just a little malt sweetness, dried fruit flavors, warm sherry notes, and a brisk balancing backdrop of fresh hop bitterness.

Affligem Tripel: the pride of abbey style beers. Its amber color and distinctive bitterness is bolstered by 8.5 alcohol.

A special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation and is responsible for many of Liberty Ale's subtle flavors and characteristics. Carbonation is produced by an entirely natural process called "bunging," which produces champagne-like bubbles. Dry-hopping (adding fresh hops to the brew during aging), imparts a unique aroma to the ale. It is a process rarely used in this country today.

Anchor Porter is a unique dark brew, which was introduced by Anchor in the early 1970s. Anchor Porter, like all of Anchor Brewing Company's products, is brewed with only natural ingredients. Specially roasted dark malts are used, along with a top-fermenting yeast. The brew is hopped at a very high rate, and is naturally carbonated to produce an intensely rich flavor and thick creamy head.

Wheat malt contributes to an unusual lightness and dryness to the palate, and this,combined with the distinctive flavor of the wheat,makes for a perfect thirst-quenching beverage. It is the ideal drink for beer lovers who appreciate tradition and character in their beer, but also seek a lighter, refreshing style, perfect for warm weather.

Anchor Bock Beer, released in celebration of the coming of spring, is an ancient and mysterious part of the brewing tradition. Over time, the term "bock" has come to mean a beer darker and stronger than the brewery's "regular" brew. We hope you will find Anchor Bock to be a rich and flavorful addition to our other offerings. San Francisco's Anchor Bock Beer is virtually handmade by the brewers of Anchor Steam® Beer, in one of the most traditional small breweries in the world. It is brewed from a complex blend of the finest barley malts, wheat malts, and fresh, whole hops.

Full-bodied, flavorful March (Märzen) beer brewed and lagered to celebrate Bavaria's famous Oktoberfest. Rich, golden color. Slightly sweet, malty nose. Medium to big body and alcohol. Soft dryness from long maturation.

The weizen-bock style is relatively uncommon, even in Bavaria: they are wheat ales (weissebeer or weizen beer) that are brewed to be as strong as a bock - with corresponding fuller body, and enhanced flavors. They can be pale ("helles") or dark ("dunkles"), but Ayinger Weizen Bock is pale in color.

Beamish is a rich, creamy Irish stout, with hints of roasted malts and a lingering finish.

It's said in jest that the Scots like a drink. Put aside those clumsy "comedy" stereotypes for a second, and you'll find that our love of good beer is a more considered affair. Belhaven Scottish Ale is a fine example of this appreciation. This classic 3.9% strength Scottish ale is a real old timer, having been brewed at Belhaven longer that any other beer. Its sweet ruby mix of malt and hops pampers and primes the palate, preparing you for a smooth creamy finish. It's a carefully crafted ale to make our nation swell with pride.

We reckon this is the porter equivalent of the tall dark handsome stranger, but with its blend of triple malts, roasted chocolate flavour and hop character, once you've tried this deluxe stout you'll want to get reacquainted.

Belhaven Scottish Stout wins 'Platinum Medal' Award

Belhaven Brewery is proud to announce that Belhaven Scottish Stout has received top marks from the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI) in their 2008 World Beer Championships Awards.

The deluxe handcrafted stout at 7%, was awarded its top rating - 96 points and a Platinum Medal - in the 'Strong Stout' category.

Belhaven Twisted Thistle IPA takes its name from the humble thistle, an indigenous, spiky-leaved species which thrives in Scotland's wild and beautiful mountain regions and which has become our nations emblem. Twisted Thistle is brewed at 6.1% for the US market and 5.3% for our European customers, a refreshing example of an India Pale Ale from the Master brewers of Belhaven. The blend of cascade and Challenger hops combine to produce an abundance of fresh hope aroma that preludes a bitter-dry taste explosion, perfectly balanced by optic ale malt grist which will have your taste buds tingling.

Germany's best selling draught beer. Balanced taste of freshness and distinctive but crisp hop character.

This IPA won the Bronze Medal at The 2005 Great American Beer Festival. It was also named the best IPA at The 2005 United States Beer Tasting Championship. This classic American style IPA features a rare hop exclusively grown on a farm in Oregon. One taste of the Hoptical Illusion and you'll know why Blue Point bought the entire crop. A generous amount of the select hop balances out malty backbone of this delicious golden beer.

Blue Point Brewing's Winter Ale is a hearty and robust amber ale. Brewed to chase away the chill of a cool winter night. Made with Pale, Vienna, crystal and chocolate malt. This uncommon amber is only brewed during the cold months of the year. Winter Ale is an extremely popular seasonal specialty. Enjoy the tasty balance of malt and hops. Remember this special ale leaves with Winter.

Dogma is an ale brewed with honey, kola nut, poppy seed, and guarana.

The award-winning Brooklyn Lager is amber-gold in color, and displays a firm malt center supported by a fine bitterness and floral hop aroma. Caramel malts show in the finish. The aromatic qualities of the beer are enhanced by "dry-hopping," the centuries-old practice of steeping the beer with fresh hops as it undergoes a long, cold maturation. The result is a wonderfully flavorful beer, smooth, refreshing and very versatile with food.

Any way you serve it, you'll love it. That's because in every beer we brew there are 14 main categories, 44 sub-categories and 100 nuances of taste and smell in every drop. We recommend that you serve your Carlsberg slightly chilled, preferably with a friend or three by your side.

Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavor qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurized.

Brewed with all natural ingredients, including Caramel, Pilsen and Munich barley malts, and Saaz, Kent and Hallertau hops. Beer authority Michael Jackson describes Corsendonk® Abbey Brown Ale as "A strong, Burgundy-colored ale in the style of the classic Trappist brews of Belgium. Has a very distinctive bouquet: yeasty, fruity and slightly smoky. In palate, it has notes of port, raisins and black chocolate. Matures greatly with age, becoming softer, smoother and deeper in palate. Ideally, should be stored for at least a year, and could mature for at least five."

Pure virgin spring water, which has waited almost 10,000 years to be freed from our 300-meter deep wells, lends our beer the unmistakable delicious taste that you enjoy every time you drink. Our beer excels with its perfect harmonious taste arising from a combination of top quality domestic ingredients and the age old experience of generations of brewers. Our production employs only the latest technologies while scrupulously observing traditional production procedures in order to preserve uniform high quality.

Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute .I.P.A.., "perhaps the best I.P.A. in America." An Imperial I.P.A. brewed to be savored from a snifter. A big beer with a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate. This beer is an excellent candidate for use with Randall The Enamel Animal!

Duvel is unique. No other beer is made like it, or tastes like it. Blonde and refreshing like a Pilsner, but with the flavor, depth and complexity of an ale, Duvel defines the Strong Golden Ale category. The beer's golden hues originate with its Pilsner malts, while Bohemian hops and a unique yeast strain add character, intensity, and a certain verve. It's this beguiling nature that has made Duvel a Belgian favorite.

Erdinger is Germany’s foremost wheat brewery, located in Erding, a village near Munich. The Oktoberfest Weizen has been a tradition in Germany for over 60 years, and is brewed with caramelized barley and wheat malts.

Erdinger Weissbier 'with fine yeast' is not only the undisputed classic in the Erdinger product range, it is also quite simply the wheat beer par excellence. It is brewed using fine yeast according to a traditional recipe and, of course, in strict accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law. Even today, the beer is still bottle-fermented in the traditional way; it takes three to four weeks for Erdinger Weissbier 'with fine yeast' to mature.

Named after the mythical beast that guards the gates of hell… Kerberos is a traditional Belgian-style Tripel with a dark golden color & has a sweet flavor with a dry and spicy finish. This nectar of the Gods is deceptively strong at 8.5% and is bottle conditioned for an authentic flavor.

Faithfully recreated by Geary's, this classic English style ale has a deep mahogany color and restrained roasted malt flavor. The result is rich and complex, yet smooth and refreshing.

The style of our summer ale is traditionally European, similar to a German Kölsch: full bodied with a spicy hop tang and a rich, crystal clear golden color.

There are only two original American beer styles.

We perfected one of them.

In the old days, there were ales and there were lagers. Ales were flavorful. Lagers were smooth. And never the twain did meet.

Until Genesee Cream Ale. And then the twain met head on to form an American Original with the flavor of an ale and the smoothness of a lager.

Cream Ale is unique. Then. Now. Always.

We skillfully warm-ferment Genesee Cream Ale with our own signature top-fermenting yeast.

In Germany, there are provinces or states like we have in the U.S. Munich is the capital city of the province of Bavaria, which is sometimes called “The Cradle of the Art of Brewing.”

In Bavaria, where beer is an art form to some and a religion to the rest, Hacker-Pschorr Munich Gold is recognized as the benchmark of the lager style. The Hacker-Pschorr Brewery is known as Bavaria’s Heaven – “Himmel der Bayern.” Hacker-Pschorr’s Munich Gold represents the real thing from one of the oldest breweries in Munich.

Hacker-Pschorr Weisse is the company’s flagship style, catering to young adults in the U.S. who seek out authentic experiences and distinctive tastes.

Hacker-Pschorr Weisse is a centuries-old German wheat beer from Bavaria that offers a refreshing taste that is apres anything. Wheat beer was originated in the German state of Bavaria in the 15th century. In Germany, it is typically called Weisse beer meaning white or Weizen meaning wheat.

When first seeing Harpoon Ale in a glass, you will notice its golden caramel color. You will also see that it is not excessively carbonated. High carbonation would mask this beer's subtle flavor. The first aroma will be fruity. This is produced by the yeast and is a signature characteristic of Harpoon's proprietary yeast strain. The second perceptible aroma is from the malt, with a delicate caramel note. Upon tasting Harpoon Ale, you will find that the malty, fruity character is nicely balanced by the mild hop bitterness. It has a smooth, medium body.

This beer displays a cloudy golden color and a dense, frothy head. The yeast, which has not been filtered out, accounts for the cloudiness of UFO. Wheat malt tends to create a larger head than barley malt, the cereal grain most often used in brewing. The aroma has a faint but clear citrus-like character. This is produced by the special yeast and accounts for the Bavarian tradition of serving hefeweizens with a lemon. The lemon accentuates the yeast's fruity, tart fragrance. UFO has a soft mouth feel and a refreshing, light body.

Deep, rich, malty. It's what espresso would be if it had the gumption to be beer. Makes a great dessert. Makes a great meal for that matter.

Yuengling Original Black & Tan is a pioneer brand that models a traditional English Half & Half. Introduced in 1986, Yuengling produced one of the first hand-crafted draft blends to lead this style of American brewing. Black & Tan combines our popular Dark Brewed Porter and Premium Beer to create a brew that is rich and dark in color, with a well balanced flavor that finishes smooth and satisfying. It has a faint sweetness with hints of caramel and coffee from the dark roasted malts. One sip and you'll appreciate how Yuengling raised the bar with our Original Black & Tan.

One of our distinct classic beers brewed since 1829, Yuengling Lord Chesterfield Ale has as much rich heritage as it does flavor and appeal. Crafted in a unique two-stage European brewing style for enhanced bitterness, it utilizes both conventional kettle hopping and dry hopping after fermentation resulting in a dry sharp finish. Brewed with select hops, its distinct robust flavor is derived from a delicate combination of sweet maltiness and lingering herbal bitterness. Lord Chesterfield Ale's bright gold color is complemented by a lightly laced foam head and fragrant zesty aroma.

Yuengling Traditional Lager is an iconic American lager famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor. Brewed with roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of cluster and cascade hops, this true original promises a well balanced taste with very distinct character. Its exceptional flavor and smooth finish is prevalently enjoyed by consumers with even the most discerning tastes. Our flagship brand, Yuengling Traditional Lager is an American favorite delivering consistent quality and refreshment that never disappoints.

Traditionally craft-brewed in Oxfordshire. A unique blend of Organically grown English Barley Malt and Whole leaf target hops, naturally grown in a single garden in Kent.

Scarecrow is a wonderfully refreshing Golden Ale evoking lazy, hazy days of summer in golden meadows & ripe barleyfields. A winning combination of tart citric fruit flavours perfectly balanced by a rich biscuity maltiness and rounded off with a spicy bittersweet finish.

Straw colored wheat ale with a white head. Hint of lemon makes this a refreshing beverage. Get your lawn chair and relax. Built with 2 grains, a good amount of wheat and 3 hops.

Chambly Noire has an opaque black color with beige-colored foam. Its roasted malt character is complemented by spicy, mildly smoky notes and a surprisingly clean, dry finish.

A Bavarian Specialty of dark colored, top fermented yeast beer with typical yeast cloudiness. Its unmistakable taste is due to an excellent choice of dark aromatic malt.

It's been said that "Gravity Sucks." Simple enough. Well, we at Stone have identified gravitational forces in the beer world. And we have come to the conclusion that they, well, see above. So we avoid these less-than-desirable gravitational forces. We avoid dumbed-down flavor profiles and the vigorous pursuit of the lowest common denominator. We avoid big dollar marketing mentalities. We avoid additives, cheap adjuncts, stabilizers and chemical preservatives. So in the defiance of gravity we bring you Stone Levitation Ale.

1926 saw the birth of one of the most important additions to the family, Stella Artois. Stella, the Latin word for star, was first introduced in celebration of the festive season. It was an instant sensation, and became so popular that it stayed in demand throughout history, and for decades to come. Today, Stella Artois is renowned as a quality beer conditioned for an average of 6 - 11 days longer than most other beers. It is full-bodied with an alcohol content of 5.2% ABV and is best enjoyed at a cool 3o C.

The Classic Bavarian Dark Beer

History: The Brew that first brought fame to Bavaria and Munich over a century ago is its Dunkel Lager. It is an old fashioned beer that resisted change. Using authentic Munich Malt is resulting in a beer deep amber in color and unmistakably Bavarian

Flavor Profile: Pronounced malty aroma and flavor that dominates over the clean, crisp moderate hoppiness. This Munich Bavarian specialty beer is full bodied and complex without being very heavy or strong

The classic German dark beer, bottom fermented 'Doppel Bock'. Full bodied with a deep dark color and rich roasted malt flavor.

Smuttynose Winter Ale is a full-bodied, amber beer brewed with a special Trappist ale yeast. Stylistically reminiscent of a Belgian Abbey Double, it features fruity aromas and flavor, balanced by soft Crystal hops. Warming, mellow & pleasantly complex, Smuttynose Winter Ale is your perfect cold weather companion.

Visitors to Smuttynose Island, peering across the dark waters of Gosport Harbor towards the ragged rocks of neighboring Star Island, are sometimes startled by the fleeting sight of mysterious, alluring creatures swept up from the Atlantic’s cold, inky depths. Or so they tell us.

Scotch ales are characterized by their full body, pronounced malty sweetness and low hop levels. Generally deep amber to brown in color, with caramel and subtle roasted malt flavors, Scotch ales can feature smoky flavors (derived from a small measure of peated malt) or, more traditionally, no smoky flavor.

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.

Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale is our homage to the craft and heritage of America's brewers. Recipes calling for the use of pumpkins in beer date back to early colonial times, when brewers sought to extend their supply of costly imported malt with locally grown ingredients, such as squash and "pompions." In that spirit, we brew our ale with the addition of pumpkin to the mash, along with traditional spices to create a delicious American original.

The citrusy hop flavor coming from a mixture of Simcoe and Santiams is pleasantly balanced by a smooth bitterness from the Amarillo hops. The beer itself is light bodied and crisp with a golden color that will throw a slight haze, as we bottle it unfiltered. At 65 IBU's, this is definitely not a training-wheels IPA, but is meant for hop lovers looking to satisfy their craving in a way that's not easy to find. We think they'll be quite pleased.

Singha has a yellow gold hue with light aromas of sweet bready pale malts that follow through on a medium bodied palate with crisp, bitter hops on the finish. This has a great balance of assertive hops that cut through the all malt mouth feel.

The long, cold nights of winter are a little brighter with Celebration Ale. Wonderfully robust and rich, Celebration Ale is dry-hopped for a lively, intense aroma. Brewed especially for the holidays, it is perfect for a festive gathering or for a quiet evening at home.

Feeling Hoppy? The Shipyard IPA is a single-hopped ale that satisfies the discriminating India Pale Ale enthusiast. Wonderfully balanced and deceptively smooth. Fuggles are a traditional variety English hop and their mild spicy aroma makes them highly prized by brewers. These classic hops were first propagated in 1875 and are named after the farmer who cultivated the strain in East Kent, England. The hop is a vine and the part used to aromatize and flavor beer is the cone-like flower. Its complex aromas predominate in a dry, crisp ale.

Old Thumper Extra Special Ale was created in 1979 by veteran British brewer, Peter Austin, founder of the Ringwood Brewery in Hampshire, England and mentor to Shipyard's master brewer, Alan Pugsley. A British Grand Champion beer, Old Thumper is a non-traditional English Bitter, brewed in the United States solely by The Shipyard Brewing Company.

Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale is a crisp and refreshing wheat ale with delightful aromatics and subtle spiced flavor. Hints of cinnamon and nutmeg make this fall brew a flavor sensation.

Bluefin Stout was first produced in August, 1993. This is a classic Irish stout. Full bodied, yet soft and spectacular in appearance.

Shipyard Brown Ale is a smooth, mellow ale with a sweet finish and a hint of chocolate and maple. It is made with chocolate and roasted barley malt.

Shipyard Export Ale, the flagship brand of the Shipyard Brewing Company, is a full-bodied ale, with a hint of sweetness up front, a subtle and distinctive hop taste, and a very clean finish.

Huge aroma of clove and banana with subtle carbonation and a chocolaty, caramelly palate.

Our flagship brand, Sapporo Premium Beer, is an ideal choice for any beer lover seeking a fine lager with a refreshing flavor and moderately light body.

Containing 4.9% alcohol by volume, 3.8% alcohol by weight, Sapporo Premium is available in a range of convenient sizes.

Our Brewers' interpretation of a traditional German Schwarzbier, Samuel Adams Black Lager is

Complex and balanced, with a beautiful hop aroma. This deep amber to golden colored full bodied lager displays caramel sweet notes balanced with distinct citrus and piney notes. A strong, smooth finish and mouth feel.

Ale brewed with cherries. Golden in color with a cloudy appearance common in wheat beers, Cherry Wheat reveals distinct cherry tartness with a touch of sweet honey and cereal notes with a clean, fruity finish.

Tart and sweet, with complex fruit and vanilla notes, Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic is golden colored with a red blush. Slightly spicy with a cranberry flavor and clean vanilla maple note.

Spicy and bold, this "big Christmas cookie" of a beer is deep mahogany to brown in color. Old Fezziwig Ale displays a full chocolate malt character supported by the spicy blend of cinnamon, ginger and orange peel.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE CLASSIC WITBIER STYLE. Samuel Adams Imperial White is a new perspective on the classic witbier style. Witbiers are normally light and refreshing with a fruity finish and we wanted to see how these characteristics would stand up when we amped up the recipe. The result? We were totally blown away by the flavors that were created by this beer.

INTENSE AND WARMING, A MEAL IN A BOTTLE. Brewed since the 13th Century, these malty lagers are still some of the biggest and most sophisticated beers around. Bock is the German word for "billy goat" and pictures of goats graze the labels on many bocks and double bocks. We shied away from the goats on our label, but we certainly didn’t shy away from the use of malted barley in this beer.

A traditional, British style. Robust and full bodied. Deep ruby black in color, Samuel Adams Holiday porter is rich and roasty malt balanced with traditional English Ale hops and a touch of noble hop.

A MASSIVE BEER – ONCE BREWED FOR ROYALTY. Samuel Adams Imperial Stout is our take on the traditional Russian Imperial Stouts from the 18th century. English brewers supplied these stouts for the Russian Imperial Court of Catherine the Great, who had taken a great liking to the beer. In order for the beer to survive the long trip to St. Petersburg, the flavor and alcohol needed to be amped up to preserve the beer.

Smooth and very complex, like an unusual port wine, Samuel Adams Triple Bock is ruby-black in color. Unique flavor of vintage port, old sherry and fine cognac. Layers of dark fruit, wood and vanilla.

Russian imperial stout was originally brewed in Great Britain to satisfy the Czarist courts, who were great connoisseurs of Champagne, caviar and the art of the table. Because it was transported across the freezing Baltic, Russian imperial stout was brewed with a high level of alcohol. Rich, flavorful, deep chocolate color, scented and roasted barley nose. Complexity of malt, hops, alcohol and yeast.

Often called "mild" if it is on draft, brown ale is a walnut-colored specialty of the North of England. A festive-occasion beer, brown ale is one of the oldest English brewing styles, mentioned in literature in the 16th century. Beers brewed at the old brewery have a round, nutty flavor because of the Yorkshire square system of fermentation. Walnut-like color and palate of hazelnuts. Wonderful balance of roasted crystal malt and aromatic hops. Long clean finish.

Beers were dark before the Industrial Revolution. With the introduction of inexpensive clear drinking vessels, translucent beers became fashionable. When this sparkling amber beer was produced, it was declared pale to differentiate it from porter. Captures the soul of beer. It has a fresh maltiness that reminds you that good beer is a product of the soil. Beautiful balance of malt and fresh hops.

Samuel Smith is most famous for classic ales, but it also offers what is described as "England's finest lager." The all-malt beer is brewed with a softer water and fermented in separately-housed stainless steel lager vessels using bottom-fermenting yeast. Rich golden color, delightful floral bouquet with lots of fruity hop character and fragrance.

Throughout history, beer of somewhat higher alcohol and richness has been enjoyed for the winter holidays, when old friends get together to enjoy the season. Wassail, a festival to celebrate winter and the beer that goes with it, predates the Christian era. Winter Welcome is vintage-dated with a special label each year. Serve in a traditional tankard for the holidays. Honey-amber-colored, creamy head of small bubbles, floral aroma and delicious malt flavor with great finesse.

The world-classic Kulmbacher Reichelbräu Eisbock is back! The world's first and most authentic ice beer was given the highest rating by Michael Jackson, then mysteriously disappeared, but it's in stock now, and a heavyweight beauty at 9.2% abv. Not at all like those silly "ice" beers that big American breweries are pushing, this one is actually made the original way - by freezing and then removing the ice to intensify the alcohol and the flavor.

By tradition, the first barrel of Maibock is tapped at the Hofbr?uhaus in the last week of April, in time for the merry month of May. The success story of Munich’s oldest bock beer goes back as far as 1614.

Hofbräu Maibock has the longest pedigree of all Munich’s Bocks. Its aromatic flavor and alcoholic content of approximately 7.2% by volume makes it one of the best creations from Hofbräu’s brewing kettles. Hofbräu Maibock marks one of the high points in the beer-lover’s calendar!

Type: Bottom-fermented, light bock beer
