IN THE BEER WORLD

Bring on the Baptist!  We’ve had a delivery of some special brews.

Quadrupel Barrel Big Bad Baptist – Epic: 12.3%abv We’ve taken barrel aging to a whole new level by aging shaved coconut, almonds, ans Blue Copper’s columbian coffee beans in whiskey barrels. Then our brewers hand-blend each batch creating the most complex and outrageous version of Big Bad Baptist we have ever made.

Big Bad Baptista – Epic: 11.7%abv Big Bad Baptista is inspired by traditional Mexican coffee, Café de Olla, which is served with cinnamon and piloncillo, an unrefined sugar. The Cinnamon adds another layer of complexity and accentuates the earthy character of Mexican Coffee, but more importantly, it captures the essence of a place and its culture.

Mexican Cake – Westbrook Brewing: 10.5%abv Imperial stout w/ cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, cinnamon, and habanero peppers.  This is a perennial favorite and only comes around now and then, come grab it while we have some!

On the bright side we also have a couple special IPAs that were just delivered.

Rum Barrel Aged Imperial Pineapple Thief – Southern Pines: 9.4%abv This Imperial version of Pineapple Thief Fruited New England IPA was fermented with pineapple purée before being aged in Jamaican rum barrels. The beer was then brought out of barrels and dry hopped with Citra, Idaho 7, and Mosaic before being conditioned on coconut chips.

Back In Session Hazy IPA – New Sarum Brewing: 4%abv Back in Session Hazy IPA was developed to master the balance between a massive amount of flavor and aromatics with the need for sessional drinkability. This lower octane, more consumable, triple dry hopped juice bomb makes it possible to enjoy more than one with friends and not be late for the next day. Think of it as a reminder to every one of us that absolutely needed Spring Semester extra credit papers around this time of the year. “I think of all the education that I missed, but then my homework was never quite like this!”

We’re super excited to share a great wine tasting this week.  We’ll be going through most of the offerings from The Prisoner Wine Company, an up and coming Napa winery.    The wine tasting will cost $5 which will go toward the purchase of a bottle if you want to take one home.

 

Here’s a little background on the company…

 

The Prisoner Founder and Winemaker Dave Phinney’s deep respect for the vineyards is rooted in an early attempt to make a sophisticated wine from a difficult site. Although he was frustrated by a situation that had him using every tool at his disposal and still coming up short, he learned lessons that inform his vineyard selection process now.

“I came away from that experience with the unshakable belief that if you put your emphasis on the vineyard, what follows is much easier,” he says. “The vineyard is everything.”

Most of Phinney’s time is spent exploring vineyard sites, meeting with growers and selecting the fruit that will be vinified and blended into The Prisoner. His method for vineyard selection includes assessing the site, soil, varietal, grower and provenance, or the history, of the vineyard.

“Sometimes one of these aspects is enough, other times it’s a combination of a few of these elements,” he says. “With provenance, looks can be deceiving, so you have to trust in the track record of a vineyard as opposed to what you see. Occasionally you step into a vineyard and can’t get to your phone fast enough to call the grower and lock up the grapes. Those experiences are one of a kind.”

Prepare for the season!  Saturday we’ll have Cousin’s Maine Lobster here from 5-8 to help us kick off the holiday season.   Since nothing goes better with lobster than bubbles we’ll be opening a bottle of Dom Perignon 2006 for sale by the glass ($30).  If you’ve ever wanted to try Dom without the commitment of an entire bottle, this is your chance!

To prepare you for the food, we’ve arranged for a wine tasting from 3-6pm, (including another Champagne) and a beer tasting (beware the Dragon!) with New Holland Brewing.  We’ll have a few special brews on tap and the rep will be here from 4-7 to share more offerings and swag.
