They're Back!

Now that warm weather has arrived two of our most popular beers have followed. I'm talking about the Southampton Double White and Bell's Oberon Ale, both Spring and Summer seasonals. If you've had them before I don't need to tell you how good they are. For those not in the know, Double White is a Belgian-style White Ale, like Blue Moon but much better (follow the links and you'll see). Oberon is an American Wheat Ale, and it's smooth and refreshing while being flavorful. Plus the prices on these beers ($8.49 for Double White and $8.99 for Oberon per 6 pack) are competitive with Blue Moon and other "high end" macrobrews, so you don't save money buying the corporate stuff.

And for the craft beer devotees, We also have the 2008 release of Stone's Russian Imperial Stout. The link tells you everything you need to know about this beer.

New Beers this Week

Bell's Brewery is one of my personal favorites as far as American craft beer goes. They usually don't do anything too outlandish, but mostly stick to traditional styles and do them very well. Each beer, even the ones that come in 6 packs, are refermented in the bottle and unpasteurized to preserve flavor. We've been carrying their beers for a while now and this week we have two new ones (or at least new to this area).

First is the Bell's Hop Slam, a Double India Pale Ale. That one's for the Hop Heads. This beer is super-fresh (it was bottled about two weeks ago), so you should get it quickly before the hoppy flavors begin to dissipate. Taste this one beside Dogfish Head's 90 minute IPA and compare.

Next is Bell's Consecrator, a Doppelbock style beer. Doppelbock (or Double Bock) is a type of strong, dark German lager. Taste this one next to Victory Brewing Company's St. Victorious Doppelbock (out in a couple of weeks) and see which one is better.
