Bell's "Cherry Stout"

Style: American Stout

ABV: 7%

Notes: Tinted ruby-black, Cherry Stout gains its signature tartness from 100% Montmorency cherries grown in Michigan's Traverse City region. Rather than doubling up on sweetness, this tart cherry varietal serves as a counterpoint to the warm, dark chocolate notes from the malt bill. Lightly hopped for balance, this stout is one of the cornerstones of Bell's stout portfolio.

Bell's "Mars Double IPA"

Style: Imperial IPA

ABV: 10.10%

Notes: Released initially in August, 2014 as the first beer in the Bell's Planet Series, Mars (The Bringer of War) is a double IPA with a complex hop character and a malty backbone. Notes of tropical fruit, citrus, pine, lemon, lime and pineapple are all present in both aroma and flavor. Hopped at a ratio of about 3.4 pounds of hops per barrel, the recipe for Mars was developed from a trial batch called Larry's Latest Double IPA brewed in their original brewery located adjacent to the Eccentric CafΓ© in downtown Kalamazoo. 


Dogfish Head "Blood Orange & Mango Vodka Crush"

Style: RTD-Vodka

ABV: 7%

Notes: Behold, Blood Orange & Mango Vodka Crush! At its heart, real blood oranges and mangos are distilled with vodka, then blended with orange juice and mango juice, and a touch of lime citrus. This cocktail is bursting with juicy flavor, yet is light and refreshing.


Dogfish Head "Lemon Lime Gin Crush"

Style: RTD-Gin

ABV: 7%

Notes: Say hello to DFH's Lemon & Lime Gin Crush! With their bright and citrusy gin at its core, this citrusy sipper is then blended with REAL lemon and lime juice. Citrus-forward and subtly herbaceous, it's a real palate pleaser.


Flying Dog "Dark Berry Sour"

Style: Sour Ale

ABV: 6.8%

Notes: Fruity, tart and refreshing, this Brewhouse Rarities release is the perfect sour to take us from summer into fall. Packed with blackberries, this crisp and balanced sour will keep you sipping from sunny afternoons into cooler evenings.


Flying Dog "Field Notes Pale Ale"

Style: American Pale Ale

ABV: 5.6%

Notes: The University of Maryland and Flying Dog are committed to developing the highest quality ingredients for Maryland beer. Working side-by-side with UMD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, they brewed Field Notes Pale Ale with hops grown at the college's research facility in Keedysville. Because there's no better way to analyze an ingredient than putting it in a beer.

Stone "Xocoveza Tres Leches"

Style: Imperial Stout

ABV: 8.5%

Notes: Stone Xocoveza Tres Leches combines the inspiration of Oaxacan Hot Chocolate and Tres Leches treats in an imperial stout that's smooth, creamy and intensely indulgent. Made from all that's good about the holidays, Stone Xocoveza is brewed with chocolate, coffee, Pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. At the pop of the can, the aoma is intense - cinnamon and spice up front with lingering coffee, caramel and sweet vanilla. It is a lively blend of flavor. Sweet spices are balanced with rich and creamy chocolate. Mild roast coffee flavor shines through and vanilla enhances the intense combination. Pasilla peppers impart a light hint of heat in the finale. With all that complexity, the beer is surprisingly bright on the palate, with just a touch of the residual sweetness that all the decadent flavors imply. Like a slice of Grandma's tres leches cake and a sip of Oaxacan Hot Chocolate, the result is creamy, intensely flavorful and silky smooth.
