Brauerei Aying-Inselkammer Aying, Germany

A beer that has a dominant malty taste. This beer’s origins in a monk’s recipe are reflected in its heartiness. The Pope of Beers, Conrad Seidl, describes it as: “Almost black with a very slight red tone, a sensational, festive foam and truly extraordinary fragrance that at first summons up visions of greaves lard. The first taste is of mild fullness with an accompanying coffee tone, which becomes more dominant with the aftertaste. There is very little of the sweetness that is frequently to be tasted with doppelbock beer.” The Ayinger Celebrator has been ranked among the best beers of the world by the Chicago Testing Institute several times and has won numerous platinum medallions.

Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen - Teirlinckplein Beersel

The taste is tart and dry but has a certain roundness that makes this Gueuze à l’ancienne particularly accessible for non-experts. It will also delight fans of the genre for its sweet complexity. It also has a slight dry bitterness because of the youth of the oak barrels used, as they still release some tannins. It has a fresh lemony nose.

Marz Communtity Brewing Co. Chicago IL

Yakool wild ale with lychee, strawberries and lactose. The active ingredient in Yakult, your favorite nonfat probiotic, is a little bacteria called lactobacillus, which beer fans might recognize as one of the strands of wild yeast used to brew sour beers.

As our house lactobacillus was originally harvested from a similar source (yogurt), we decided to brew this wild ale in honor of our probiotic roots, adding organic strawberry puree to achieve that classic Yakult flavor. Despite the hefty abv, this beer has a surprisingly delicate body reminiscent of a summer Rosé. More sweet than sour, the initial acidity quickly mellows to a fruity tanginess and leaves the pallet with a touch of funk. Unpasteurized, so you can enjoy this beer AND get some of that tummy-time goodness.

Whiner Beer Company, Chicago, Illinois

Le Tub is not your average saison. Looking to add some funky complexity, Whiner embraced the time honored Belgian tradition of blending in order to create a highly aromatic and spicy saison that’s tart, but not over the top sour. The barrel aged portion imparts some lactic acidity while Brett imparts tropical and citrus flavors that pair well with fruity Amarillo hops. 6.4% ABV 23 IBU 

Sweet scent of juicy fruit wafting from a frothy, white mane, and a generous Crystal dry-hopping that completes the dry finish with a fruity bite.
When you brew as much as we do, sometimes we get tired of telling the yeast what to do. For Apex Predator Farmhouse Ale, we pitch the yeast cold, turn off the temperature control, and let the yeast do it’s thing. To our delight, it spat out the sweet scent of juicy fruit wafting from a frothy, white mane. Brewed only with grain and sugar unencumbered by the heat of the kiln, we create a hazy, golden body.

Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat NV, Breendonk-Puurs Belgium

Duvel is a natural beer with a subtle bitterness, a refined flavour and a distinctive hop character. The unique brewing process, which takes about 90 days, guarantees a pure character, delicate effervescence and a pleasant sweet taste of alcohol. Apart from pure spring water, which is the main ingredient of beer, barley is the most important raw material. Barley must germinate for five days in the malt house, after which malt remains. The colour of the malt and as a consequence also of the beer is determined by the temperature. Duvel obtains its typical bitterness by adding various varieties of aromatic Slovenian and Czech hops. We use only exclusive hops that are renowned for their constant, outstanding quality. Duvel ferments for the first time in tanks at 20 to 26°C. The brewer uses his own culture for this. The original yeast strain, which Victor Moortgat himself selected in the 1920’s, originates from Scotland. After maturing in storage tanks in which the beer is cooled down to -2°C, the drink is ready for bottling. Thanks to the addition of extra sugars and yeast, the beer ferments again in the bottle. This occurs in warm cellars (24°C) and takes two weeks. Then the beer is moved to cold cellars, where it continues to mature and stabilise for a further six weeks. This extra long maturation period is unique and contributes to the refined flavour and pure taste of Duvel. A team of beer specialists checks the process daily by means of taste analyses. It is only after 90 days, when it has achieved its rich range of flavours, that Duvel may leave the brewery. Thanks to its surprisingly high alcohol content (8.5 %), enormous head, fine effervescence and silky smooth feel in the mouth, Duvel stands out clearly from other Belgian beers.

Brouwerij Van Steenberge N.V., Ertvelde, Belgium

Did you know the Gulden Draak (Golden Dragon) owes its name to the gilded statue on top of the Belfry in Ghent?

The legend says the gilded dragon first featured on the prow of the ship with which the Norwegian king Sigrid Magnusson left on a crusade in 1111. He offered the statue to the emperor of Constantinople (the current Istanbul) to put it on the cupola of the Aya Sophia. Some hundred years later, the Flemish count Baldwin IX had the showpiece transported to our regions. Here, the Norwegian dragon ended up in the hands of Bruges. After the battle on the field of Beverhout in 1382, the inhabitants of Ghent took the dragon as war booty and put it on top of their Belfry. In the Belfry all communal charters were kept. The dragon had to protect these documents and it was also the symbol of the freedom and might of the city.

Such an imposing symbol that has lasted for over 6 centuries needs an equally imposing beer. Like the dragon shines at the top of the city, the Gulden Draak is part of the international top of beers. It is a dark triple, which in itself makes it an exceptional beer. But it is the complex taste with hints of caramel, roasted malt and coffee in combination with the creamy hazel head that makes it unique. It is a beer that is worthy of its name.

Like the other special beers of the Brewery Van Steenberge, Gulden Draak is a high fermentation beer with secondary fermentation. For the secondary fermentation, wine yeast is used. This also contributes to the unparalleled taste.

And of course, a unique beer deserves a unique presentation. That’s why Gulden Draak is presented in a white bottle. The white bottle, the black banner, the golden dragon and the red letters, constitute a stylish result that has no equal among the many Belgian special beers.

Gulden Draak can be drunk as an aperitif or dessert, or whenever you have the time to sit back and relax. But this barley wine is also perfect with and in stews, especially the Ghent variety. It is also a plus in sauces for red meat, such as a bordelaise. It is particularly suited as a dessert beer, especially in combination with dark chocolate.

Tip: Replace the whisky in Irish coffee by Gulden Draak or have Gulden Draak with Pas de Bleu: surprising and typical for Ghent. You will be amazed.

Old Speckled Hen - Abingdon, Oxfordshire

A high proportion of Crystal malt in Old Speckled Hen provides the key toffee/caramel flavour. The yeast used to ferment the beer provides the other key character - estery or banana/pear drop.

Pollyanna Brewing Compnay, Lemont, Illinois

Sometimes, the English language just doesn’t have a word for something. There are words like YOLO, twerk, and OMG, but for some reason there isn’t a plural word for “you.” Sorry, but “ya’ll” or “youse” or even “you guys” doesn’t quite fill the lexical gap. Our Lexical Gap IPA is straight west coast, you guys (see what we did there?). Brewed with massive amounts of Citra, Centennial, Simcoe, and Columbus hops, finding a word to describe your gratification might be pretty tough. Most expletives, however, will probably suffice.

3 Sheeps Brewing Company, Sheboygan, WI

This beer has a dry, spicy characteristic that plays very well with other flavors. We started with the rye and piled it on, ensuring it would play first fiddle. The rest of the ingredients – the base, dark, and caramel malts, along with the Czech Saaz hops – were selected for their ability to highlight the rye and play off of its boldness. Since large quantities of rye can sometimes yield an unpalatable harshness, the finishing touch on this brew was to nitrogenate rather than carbonate. The creaminess of the nitrogen pour smoothes the edge, making for very gentle, yet full-bodied beer. We hope you enjoy.

This triple-style golden ale recreates the style of beer originally developed in the Middle Ages by trappist monks for special occasions and as such it was the first of its kind to be brewed in North America.

The Cyder House, Aspall Hall, Debenham, Suffolk

The Cyder House, Aspall Hall, Debenham, Suffolk

There is a subtle blackberry aroma with a hint of traditional cyder apple.
A twist on the classic Kir Royale – champagne and crème de cassis replaced by cyder and crème de mure (blackberry liquer).

The colour is deep blush suggestive of dark summer fruit, with a rich appearance due to the viscosity of the Creme de Mure. Deceptively smooth with a silky but refreshing palate, Blush offers a perfect blend of sweetness and acidity. It has a lovely mouthfeel and a lingering aftertaste of berries

Right Bee Cider, Chicago, Illinois

Boy brews beer. Girl drinks cider. Boy meets girl, makes her cider and eventually wins her over. Now boy and girl make cider as Chicago’s first licensed cidery, Right Bee Cider. Tenured brewer Charlie Davis and cider enthusiast Katie Morgan launched their urban cidery in late 2014, providing the cider-happy city with its own apple tipple. Today, from their newer, much larger facility, Right Bee has hired their first employee, started bottling and is now supplying their singular, eponymous cider to more than 50 different bars and restaurants in the Windy City.

A truly handmade operation — from the tap handles to the PowerPoint-created logo — Right Bee sources its juice from family-run juicers on the East Coast, fermenting to dryness then back-sweetening with a mixture of organic sugar and Chicago honey. The couple even has aspirations to soon harvest honey from their own beehives atop the production facility once they get the green light from the city.

The semi-dry cider is left cloudy and unfiltered, a trademark from Davis’ years in brewing, homing in on pure apple aromas and flavors. Golden apple, sun-soaked apple leaf and soft honeycomb scents waft when poured, leaving the evident notes to the palate with an apple-forward, slightly honeyed flavor. The cider leaves the mouth with a round texture and refreshing finish, an easy quaffer worth savoring.

Samuel Smith's brewery , Tadcaster, UK.

Dry, sparkling pear cider with clear pale straw colour, smooth body, crisp but rich flavour of ripe pears, and the appealing aroma of a summer pear orchard.

Two Metre Tall - Hayes, Australia

“The Huon region directly south of Hobart is where Tasmania earned the reputation as the ‘Apple Isle’. But apples in a beer? Wanting acidity to ‘freshen’ the beer and increase its drinkability and capacity to cellar, we thought apples would be best applied to the strong flavors of dark ales. The result is well worth discovery. It is our ‘red wine’ of ale and we recommend it be served in a wine glass, at room temperature with the meat dishes and cheeses normally accompanying such wines.

Our Huon Dark Apple Ale starts as a rich and robust dark ale fermented with brewer’s yeast. We then add up to 25% whole apple juice from Tasmania’s pristine Huon Valley (or “Apple-HQ” as we like to call it!) and re-ferment with a selected champagne yeast. Extended tank maturation pre-bottling, a third fermentation in bottle and, preferably, months of bottle-age completes a very individual ale of extremely complex character. This ale truly is a ‘uniquely Tasmanian experience’ and can be enjoyed now or will reward cellaring by developing more complexity with age.”

Michigan Peach is a blend of local Michigan hand-picked apples and peaches. Michigan Peach is a semi-sweet cider with notes of stone fruit and ripe apple.

Krombacher, North Rhine-Westphalia

With our other non-alcoholic beers, our Wheat non-alcoholic offers an outstanding spectrum of adventures in taste for any beer connoisseur; above all else, it simply cannot be beaten as an isotonic alternative to sweet soft drinks.
In the development and production of our non-alcoholic Wheat Beer, we were able to resort to two rich treasure troves that make our beer special. One being the gentle de-alcoholisation that we already successfully use for our non-alcoholic Pils, the other being the separate brewing plant, designed and built specifically to brew our Wheat Beer products.
Our Krombacher Wheat Beer non-alcoholic is brewed according to the same, strict criteria as the Krombacher Wheat Beer which contains alcohol. The full-bodied, fruity wheat flavour as well as the nutritional values make for an ideal alternative for sports and athletes that want an alcohol-free Wheat Beer with genuine wheat flavour that is naturally low in sodium, calorie-reduced and isotonic.
