Farewell to an old freind

Hi all,
In this ever changing world we live in today life is full of surprises and challenges. Tad Brewer has left the store to pursue other interests in the beverage industry and we will miss his superior knowledge in craft beer. Good luck Tad!
I will be handling the beer department for now and will continue to update the blog with pertinent information and new arrivals. Today we received a new Trappist beer from the Achel brewery, Achel bruin 8 which boasts a 96 on rate beer and a 3.8 from beer advocate. They also have a blond 8 and a Trappist extra which should be arriving in the next week or so hopefully. They are the sixth of seven total in our store and in the world that are the renowned and can called themselves a "Trappist Brewery". Until 2001 you could only get these beers if you visited the Monastery. In 2001 they began bottling and exporting their brews around the world. Also on the horizon are Bear Republic of California and Nogne from Norway. We continue to have many summer seasonals in stock for your drinking pleasure including the new Coors Light 5 liter mini kegs which we sold out of the first week they were available to us. We have restocked and should have them for the balance of the summer season. I will keep you updated on any other happenings in the beer world in the store and remember to come on out this Saturday from 1-3 to taste some old world farmhouse saisons.
