The Beer List

Doug, Adam and I have been doing beer tastings on and off for the last 2 months sifting through tons of micro brews. There are so many good ones, or at least what we think is good but we also have to think about our guests. So here is the new beer list that is going into effect. The Allagash Curieux is one of my personal favorites and the Omegang Rare VOS is another that I will be sampling quite often. Can't go wrong with contributions by rogue, oskar blues, lagunitas and stone. All of them are great and as they are now on the list we will be planning a beer dinner to go with it, I'll keep you informed as we get closer.

suds to share….
(all bottles are 750ml)

southampton cuvee des fleurs, sasion
"cuvèe des fleurs" roughly translates to "batch of the flowers". This most distinctive ale is flavored with a variety of edible flowers including lavender, chamomile and hops.

the breuery, saison rue, belgian/french-style farmhouse ale
malted rye, spicy, fruity and a biscuit-like malt backbone. With age, this beer will dry out and will become more complex with rustic notes of leather.

allagash, curieux, triple ale
Curieux, french for "curious", aged in jim beam barrels for 8 weeks and many new flavors and aromas. Most notably, the beer picks up soft coconut and vanilla characteristics...and also a hint of bourbon flavor!
