Sierra Nevada Celebration Liquidation!

Due to the imminent arrival of two new Sierra beers, and a fear of being stuck with product, our distributor has slashed prices on the Sierra winter seasonal, Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. This rich and robust double IPA balances big C hops(cascade, chinook, centenial) with a touch of sweetness and fruit driven body. Mmmmm....fruit driven body.

6 packs were $8.99, now $6.49 while supplies last.

And if we piqued your interest about those NEW Sierra beers...we are hosting a tasting, Thursday, February 12, to pour the new Torpedo Extra IPA and the 2009 Bigfoot barleywine. Sometimes I wish they all could be California beers!

Troegs Nugget Nectar

I am sorry to say that we greatly underestimated the response to the new Troegs arrival Nugget Nectar. Despite knowing it would be the most popular, and despite ordering twice as much as any other Troegs beer, we still came up short. Sorry! So, for now we are unfortunately out of Nugget Nectar, but fret not you insatiable hop heads, we will get more and will post as much upon arrival. Until then, we are happy to make a suggestion should your need overcome your patience. Lastly, dont forget Troegs Hopback Amber, the brands flagship beer, little brother and inspiration for the Nugget madness. Cheers.

Beer Tastings, Thursday 1/15

This Thursday, somewhat inspired by the recent Asimov article in the NY Times about wood aged beers, we are hosting our own barrel beer tasting. Stop by Brookline any time from 5-7pm to sample of few of these complex brews and see, or more likely taste, the various ways wood can influence beer.

The enjoyment and challenge in navigating the barrel trend is finding those beers whose character is designed to include the added dimension or at least elegantly incorporate it. While anyone can fill a barrel, it takes an experienced brewer or cellar man to know when one should in the first place. Cheers.

Any questions? kmcmurtry@wine-gallery.com

Kenmore will be pouring Dupont Avec Les Bons Vouex. Did we mention how much we love this amazing beer yet? Oh we didn't? Stop by Kenmore 6-8pm to here Tom do so in person.
