de Struise Brouwers Pannepot
In the early 1900’s, the village of de Panne, close to the French border, was famous for two things — the ‘Pannepots‘, or fishing boats, and the unique dark ale enjoyed by the fishermen. The old fisherman’s ale is a tribute to the sailors and their rich, flavorful brew. Pannepot is an unfiltered, unpasteurized, bottle-conditioned dark ale with an intense, complex chocolate malt aroma, roasted accents, and subtle hints of spice.
Wine-School-in-a-Box is Kickin’ Butt!
”Wines from Around the World”, “Wines of Argentina”, “Italian Wines”, “Portuguese Wines”, “Grape Varieties You’ve Probably Never Heard Of” — these are some of the themes of our ready-made WINE-SCHOOL-in-a-BOX. Perfect as a Holiday gift, Hostess Gift, Birthday gift or just something to do on a wintery Saturday night. Wine-School-in-a-Box is an easy-to-carry box that supplies you with enough wine for up to 10 people. It comes with descriptions of all the wines; how to host a wine tasting; the 5 S’s of wine tasting & a few recipes to get you started. We’ve been selling a TON of them this Holiday season — seems like it could be THE gift to give. Each Wine-School-in-a-Box is around $65 so it does make a great gift and it won’t break the bank.

Pizilla & Four Seasons IPA
Never before have we seen such a “rough around the edges” brewery / website. This must be the sign of a true beer brewer — because Lord knows the good people at VooDoo brewery are definitely NOT computer savvy nor are they “gud spelurz”. But their beer is yummy and fun and different. We recently acquired two of their latest brews. The first is Pizilla, one they’ve been brewing for years that just keeps getting bigger & bigger. An unfiltered Keller Bier nicely hopped with 9 different kinds of hops. Nicknamed “the beer that took over Tokyo”! And Four Seasons IPA, the first in a series, which will be numbered and offered for one season each. The brewer will allow customers to decide the next season’s recipe. Bitter hops and boasting barley come together to make one of the most sought after ales of the craft beer masses.

Anderson Valley Winter Solstice
From the very first sip of Anderson Valley Winter Solstice your senses will be aroused with the vision of a glowing fire - warming the hearth and home. Each lingering sip will gently warm your soul with thoughts of family and friends - gathering around the table for a feast. Luscious, creamy, smooth and warming, this medium bodied ale is brewed with Caramel and crystal malts to give it a hint of sweetness and then paired with the brewer’s own blend of special holiday spices. This is a great beer to drink all by itself but will seriously be an awesome accompaniment to your Thanksgiving desserts! Think Pumpkin Pie, Candied Yams or Sugar Cookies — yum! Always one of our favorite Holiday brews!
