Stone Encore Series: 6th Anniversary Porter – With intensified malts and hops, this porter was conditioned in French and American oak. Its distinctive smokiness and amplified its chocolate and roast coffee flavors add subtle notes of toffee, cherries, dried berries and vanilla. 8% ABV / Escondido, CA / Ratebeer 100 / Availability: Limited

Stone Go To IPA Cans – session IPA, boasting all the gloriously bitter, citrusy, piney flavor of a bigger, industrial-strength IPA, but with a significantly lower alcohol-by-volume. 4.5% ABV / Escondido, CA / Ratebeer 96 / Availability: Good

Great Divide White Water –  an American wheat ale built for exploration. The bold hop profile adds complexity to this crisp, balanced ale, while hints of citrus, light floral notes, and a satisfying bitterness leave a perfect reminder of trails climbed and rapids subdued. 6.1% ABV / Denver, CO / Availability: Decent

Gigantic IPA – True to its name. Cascade, Centennial, Crystal and Simcoe create a citrusy hop confluence that continuously embiggens with each drink. “Never Give An Inch”. 7.3% ABV / Portland, OR / Ratebeer 95 / Availability: Limited

funkwerks Nelson Sauvin – Named after a distinctive New Zealand hop, this single-hop saison has a subtle aroma of white grapes and a hint of spice from house saison yeast. An addition of Muscat grape must during fermentation plays into the grape aromas from the hops and helps dry out the finish. This dry, refreshing saison pairs perfectly with warm weather. 7.5% ABV / Fort Collins, CO / Ratebeer 95 / Availability: Limited

Amager Danish Metal – A variant of Jester King’s Black Metal – the one with a British ale yeast – with a bit of a Danish spin. Hence Danish Metal was born. It’s rich and potent and powerful. 10% ABV / Kastrup, Denmark / Ratebeer 97 / Availability: Very Limited

Amager Hr. Frederiksen – Even when just poured into the glass, you feel straight away that Mr. Frederiksen is a master of potency and great personality. Pitch-black as Mr. Frederiksen’s humor, this American style Imperial Stout has a dense and creamy, light brown head that leaves an abundance of lacing on the glass as it reluctantly settles. 10.5% ABV / Kastrup, Denmark / Ratebeer 100 / Availability: Very Limited

Amager Rye Porter (Rugporter) – Amager Rye Porter is the result of fruitful cooperation between the best of Danish and American brewing cultures. It’s base is made of hard roasted malts and 16% rye.

This is not a beer for the weak. 8.5% ABV / Kastrup, Denmark / Ratebeer 99 / Availability: Very Limited

Angry Orchard Knotty Pear – Knotty Pear leads with ripe apple, baked pear aromas and hints of cardamom. Knotty Pear’s main ingredient is juice from American apples, and also features pear juice, which adds a new dimension to the cider, creating a pleasantly dry flavor. Cardamom imparts a slight spicy flavor. With subtle notes of citrus and mint. 6.5% ABV / Cincinnati, OH / Availability: Plenty

Angry Orchard The MuseInspired by the festive nature of slightly sweet Demi-Sec champagnes and sparkling wines, the Muse is bubbly and effervescent. It is made from traditional culinary and bittersweet apples and aged on French oak.
