Beers of the Moment


 
Founders Breakfast Stout
Grand Rapids, Michigan

Brewed with loads of flaked oats, bitter and sweetened foreign chocolates, Sumatra and Kona coffee. Breakfast Stout possesses an extreme refreshingly roasted coffee nose topped with a cinnamon-colored foamy head that appears to never diminish and causes you to wish breakfast could continue forever.
$7.00

Paulaner Oktoberfest
Munich, Germany

This particular beer is definitely an institution, very smooth and soft with a distinctly nutlike light roast edge on the malt. The accent is unquestionably on malt sweetness, although the beer is certainly exceptionally well balanced. There’s just the barest touch of hop flavor as the beer crosses your tongue, and there's an absolute dryness to the finish with just a bit of lighter pepperiness to the hops.
$6.00 1/2 Liter

Samuel Adams Octoberfest
Boston, Massachusetts

Octoberfest features a deep, rich golden amber hue that is indicative of the season. Octoberfest is definitely a malt lover’s fantasy, skillfully mixing together four roasts of barley to produce a delectable harmony of sweet flavors like caramel and toffee. The beer is kept from becoming excessively sweet by the elegant bitterness imparted by the German Noble hops.
$5.00

Urban Chestnut Brewing Co. KU’DAMM– Berliner Weiss
St. Louis, Missouri

Drink it ‘straight’ to enjoy the mild tartness…Or repeat this phrase: “Ich bin ein Berliner” and put in a bit of elderflower, raspberry, or black currant syrup.
$6.00

Delirium Tremens - Belgian Blond Ale
Melle, Belgium

This pours a golden, amber color with a fizzy head.  The fragrance is filled with yeast, citrus, and banana. The taste is rather sweet and offers a sleek, elaborate flavor that's full-bodied and delectable. This beer is 8.5% ABV.
$8.00

Southern Tier Pumpking
Lakewood, New York

This ale retains tastes of cinnamon, and nutmeg with a nose of pumpkin, vanilla, and roasted pecans. This pumpkin ale might rival the perfect Thanksgiving Day dessert.
$6.00
