Welcome back to your weekly scheduled programming! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for your support! This first beer mail of the year will be a little bit lighter, as we're doing inventory this week. Don't worry, we'll be overflowing with beer in no time.

Cheers!

Elder Pine - Citra Archives

"100% Citra-hopped West Coast IPA. Pale, dry, mildly bitter with notes of citrus rind candy."

6%

Elder Pine - Scars of the Shattered Sky

"Hazy IPA hopped exclusively with Mosaic for prominent impressions of dank passionfruit, juicy tangerine and ripe peach."

7%

Elder Pine - Barrel-aged Praamzius, Ruler of Time

"True-to-style Baltic Porter aged in Sagamore Rye Whiskey barrels for 11 months. Fermented cold with lager yeast and cold conditioned extensively to provide the smoothest, cleanest, crispest dark beer possible. Far less roasty than American Porter/Stout."

10.5%

Other Half - Mylar Dust

"We took our beloved Mylar Bags and swapped out the t-90 hop pellets for cryo pellets. Hopped with Citra, Amarillo, and Mosaic cryo and El Dorado and Galaxy t-90's (still waiting for galaxy cryo to exist, let's make it happen!). While Mylar Bags has big deep dank fruity notes on a full palette this version is more bright and punchy and slightly less green."

8.5%

Other Half - Juice Grind

"This delicious Imperial IPA slides down smooth like a freshly waxed ledge with notes of red berries, lemon-lime, grapefruit, tropical punch and lychee jellies."

8%

Other Half - Stacks on Stacks: Southern Hemisphere

"This Stacks version has the usually grain bill but has the Mosaic, Citra, and El Dorado swapped out for a decidedly more southern affair of Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka, all from NZ."

8.5%

Other Half - Top of the Broc

"A hazy IPA brewed with a hand-selected blend of Citra, Cashmere, and Strata hops giving notes of peach rings, grapefruit, mango, and tropical candies. A tribute to our Rockefeller Center Taproom."

6%

Weldwerks - LOUD Juice

"Brewed in Collab with our friends at Blackstack Brewing, This Is A Hazy Double IPA With Citra, El Dorado, Galaxy, Mosaic & Nectaron Hops"

8%

Weldwerks - Double Raspberry Gelato

"Sour Ale with Red and Black Raspberries, Vanilla & Milk Sugar"

4.7%

Dewey - Club Gondola

"A plush, hazy double IPA bursting with waves of tropical citrus, sweet white wine grapes, and a soft zesty lime lift. This beer drinks like a smooth ride through a flavorful skyline."

8%

Dewey - Secret Machine - Heartbreaker

"Bursting with fresh strawberries, wild cherries and tart raspberries. Layered with smooth, rich vanilla."

7%

Dewey - Bake Club: Choco Trail

"A rich, indulgent stout inspired by the beloved Moose Tracks flavor. Layers of cream chocolate, sweet vanilla, and peanut butter cup."

12%

Ever Grain - Dreams & Nightmares

"A New England style DIPA brewed with hand selected Simcoe hops for flavors and aromas of orange-mango juice, drippy passion fruit and peach flesh."

8.5%

Ever Grain - Shred Head

"This petite NEIPA is a collaboration with our friends from Gilson. Crafted for those who want to enjoy more than a couple while partaking in their favorite winter activities. Don’t let its smaller ABV fool you—this beer is packed with hop oil and bursting with aromas of Orange Julius, passion fruit, and freshly peeled persimmons."

5.2%

Burnish - Malice

"Malice is an aggressively dry-hopped IPA, featuring big citrus and passion fruit notes from the Citra and Galaxy hops, followed by a pleasantly bitter finish. Give in to the evil!”

7.4%

Burnish - Extra Shine

"Our latest iteration in the Shine series is this 7.8% Double IPA. Huge notes of grapefruit and citrus. Double dry hopped with 5 pounds of hops per barrel!"

7.8%

Jailbreak - Special Lady Friend

"Special Lady Friend is very special indeed, an all Mosaic hazy IPA which results from the culmination of experience gained through the last year or so of thoughtful experimentation with varied yeasts, hops, and procedural techniques. Originating from a sturdy base of 2-row, white wheat, and flaked oats, Special Lady Friend boasts a purified expression of Mosaic, given that Mosaic lupulin constitutes 50% of the dry hop by weight. Overripe pineapple, candied orange, and the fresh essence of blueberry dominate the nose, while the palate experience melds into a pithy melange of tropical fruit, ultimately resulting in a dry, yet soft, elegant finish. Cheers!"

7%

Jailbreak - Nectaron Lady Friend

"Fermented with our house IPA yeast blend, Nectaron T90, Nectaron Cryo, and Abstrax Quantum Brite Nectaron Hop Oil. Expect vivid sensations of overripe white peach, freshly pressed cara cara orange juice, and an underlying waft of musky passionfruit."

7%

Jailbreak - Hey, Porter: Ugandan Vanilla

"Ugandan vanilla is widely known for its intensity, and the Ugandan vanilla variant of Hey Porter is no different. The addition of this particular vanilla amplifies pre-existing characteristics in the beer, namely notes of cream, milk chocolate, and raisin. This is an example of pure vanilla decadence."

6.5%

Jailbreak - Feed The Monkey

"A German style hefeweizen that combines traditional notes of clove and banana with subtle citrus aromas and flavors to provide balance and complexity. With this hefeweizen, there's no fruit required - we've got that covered."

5.6%

Peabody Heights - Falkor

"Pale orange and hazy, this IPA sports a grapefruit rind bite and the mouth-watering sweetness of hard candy."

7.1%

Sierra Nevada - Springfest

"We owe everything to the land, and to those that cultivate it. Springfest IPA is our tribute to farmers who make it all possible. A vibrant celebration of Spring, this radiant IPA blooms with citrus blossom aromas drawn from organic hops and sustainably sourced barley. It’s a small taste of our larger commitment: to source half our ingredients through sustainable farming by 2030."

6%

Sierra Nevada - Bigfoot

"Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, packed with bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops. First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic brewed in the Barleywine style, strong and robust with the refined intensity of a wine. Bigfoot is prized by beer collectors for aging in cellars. Under the proper conditions, it can develop enticing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle. Each new release or “expedition” is vintage dated. Collect your own and savor the evolving flavors."

Paulaner - Pils

"Paulaner has brought back a classic Germany pilsner, that delivers a clean, crisp taste. Our Bavarian brewers are particularly experienced in crafting classic Pilsner biers and ready to fill the growing demand for lighter, more refreshing products."

Other Half - Green City All Stars

"First released as a part of a special Green City Fest package in 2020 at an eye watering 12% abv, now re-released at a more 'sessionable' 8% for our 2025 edition. We kept the same wonderful hops, Citra, El Dorado and Galaxy, but spiced it up a little with some of our beautiful Nelson Sauvin to make it even punchier.”

8%

Paul's Pick

Ommegang - Passport Royale

"Three world-class brewers from three nations have united to create what can only be described as one of the most luxurious blended beers ever crafted. At Ommegang, we are honored to present this exceptional collaboration between Belgium’s iconic Liefmans, Italy’s gold medal-winning Birrificio Del Ducato, and New York’s own Brewery Ommegang.

The Blend: Pale Sour, Machete IPA, and Blueberry Beer."

Deschutes - Black Butte Non-Alcoholic

"Behold: all the delicious richness of a porter without the buzz. This malt brew tastes so similar to the original Black Butte Porter that you’ll be doing a double-take. Just right for winning trivia night, enjoying after dinner, making it to Wednesday…or really anytime. The recipient of 8 international non-alcoholic awards, including a 2024 World Beer Cup gold medal, Black Butte Non-Alcoholic is our newest classic."
