DuClaw "Hoodwink Faux Brett IPA"

Style: Sour IPA

ABV: 6.5%

Notes: Get hoodwink'd! This "faux-Brett" IPA uses yeast that produces just the right amount of funk and fruit esters with notes of mango and pineapple. Brett is known for remarkable flavor complexities and is safe to cultivate only in certain brewery settings. So, Duclaw found a way around it. Pour one out and embrace the deception. 

DuClaw "Sour Me Black Apple"

Style: Sour Ale

ABV: 5.5%

Notes: This Sour Me just may be the fairest one of all. It's made from the rare black apple, sometimes called the Black Diamond Apple, which has a deep purple hue and is reminiscent of something that's possessed by an evil queen. You'll experience enhanced tartness from the fruit addition with a touch of sweet. Go on, have a sip...

DuClaw "The PastryArchy - Mexican Hot Chocolate Brown Ale"

Style: American Brown Ale

ABV: 7%

Notes: Originating in Mexico, hot chocolate has evolved as it's been adopted all over the world. This brown ale is a nod to an early iteration of the traditional favorite, made with a  bit of spice, deep chocolate, and lactose. 

Flying Dog "Strawberry Jalapeno Margarita Gose"

Style: Gose

ABV: 5.9%

Notes: Made with real strawberry puree and jalapenos, Flying Dog's Strawberry Margarita Gose has the sweet, spicy and tart flavors you love in an authentic margarita. The standard gose flavor profile, with its bright citrus and strong saltiness, allowed Flying God's expert brewers to use specialty ingredients to adapt the flavor to mimic the hugely popular tequila-based beverage. After a pint or two, the strawberry's slightly sweet starts to fade into a mild heat from the jalapenos. This slow burn creates a delicious endless sipping cycle, more sweet then more heat!

Heavy Seas "Blackbeard's Breakfast"

Style: Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Coffee Porter

ABV: 10%

Notes: Blackbeard's Breakfast is Heavy Seas' take on an imperial porter - just add coffee and bourbon. They use Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company's Dark Sumatra coffee to give this beer it's sumptuous coffee flavor. Bourbon barrels kick this beer up a notch, leaving flavors of caramel and roasty malt. It's a perfect storm to make a perfect porter.

Stone "Neverending Haze"

Style: Session Hazy IPA

ABV: 4%

Notes: It's no secret that IPAs are Stone's favorite beer style. They represent everything Stone believes a beer should be: bold, flavorful and distinct. And while they've certainly enjoyed brewing high ABV double IPAs over the years, they loved the challenge of packing all that bold character into a 4% IPA. With notes of dankness and citrus in a beautiful golden orange haze, this beer is brewed to celebrate neverending good times.
