THREE PHILOSOPHERS / New York, NY

is a unique blend of a Belgian-style dark ale and Liefmans Kriek, an authentic cherry ale from Belgium. Cherry chestnut in color, it’s opaque but not cloudy with full carbonation topped by a smooth, tan head. Flavors and aromas of roasted malt, molasses and brown sugar, dark fruits, brandied raisins and chocolate, Three Philosophers has notable sweetness with low hop bitterness. The mid-palate shows a soft malt center which gives way to a dry, warm, wine-like finish.

The complexity of this beer make it a good candidate for ageing gracefully, as spicy sherry and port notes should intensify. IBU’s 19 ABV 9.7%

SMUTTYNOSE THELEMA / Hampton, NH

The Belgian Golden Strong Ale is a style that was first developed and popularized by the Moortgat Brewery of Belgium in an attempt to lure drinkers from mass produced light lagers back to traditional strong Belgian beers. Moortgat’s effort in this area resulted in the beer called Duvel (“Devil”) which is still popular to this day.

Belgian Strong Golden Ales can resemble Belgian Tripels in many ways due to their golden color and crisp finish, though they are normally a bit crisper, drier and lighter in color.

SOUTHERN TIER 3 CITRUS PEEL OUT  / Lakewood, NY

ABITA BIG EASY SESSION IPA  / New Orleans, LA

This beer was inspired by life in the Big Easy, the Mississippi River and the paddlewheel steamboats that have traveled these waters for nearly two centuries. When you kick back and watch the Mississippi from the levee, the boats and barges seem to slip by at a snail’s pace, easing on down the river.The Mississippi rolls right through the heart of New Orleans, past Jackson Square. Yet beneath the placid surface, the mighty Mississippi pulses with power. Our Big Easy Session IPA delivers the same powerful hop flavor you expect from an IPA, with a body, finish, and ABV that makes this beer go down easy.

While riverboats were once tools of commerce, today they treat friends, neighbors and sightseers to tours of the river and impressive views of the powerful paddlewheel in action. Whether you are boarding a riverboat cruise, attending a music festival, hanging in the park or headed to the beach, there’s nothing like good friends and a cooler full of Big Easy to toast the occasion.

WIDMER BROS. HEFE  / Portland, OR

Style Characteristics

The aroma and flavor of a Weissbier with yeast is decidedly fruity and phenolic. The phenolic characteristics are often described as clove-, nutmeg-like, mildly smoke-like or even vanilla-like. Banana-like esters should be present at low to medium-high levels. These beers are made with at least 50 percent malted wheat, and hop rates are quite low. Hop flavor and aroma are absent or present at very low levels. Weissbier is well attenuated and very highly carbonated and a medium to full bodied beer. The color is very pale to pale amber. Because yeast is present, the beer will have yeast flavor and a characteristically fuller mouthfeel and may be appropriately very cloudy. No diacetyl should be perceived.

STONE AMERICANO STOUT / Escondido, CA

A DECIDEDLY AMERICAN IMPERIAL STOUT WITH ESPRESSO

The coffee notes in Stone Americano Stout are bold, rich and full of American swagger. For each 120-barrel batch, we incorporated over 250 lbs. of artisanal espresso-roast beans into the mash and added in Columbus, Chinook, Amarillo and Cascade hops to invigorate the coffee taste with a slight citrus and resin hop presence. When it came time to selecting our coffee, we chose the same local roasters who contributed to our sought-after 2013 Stone ESPRESSO Imperial Russian Stout. Their fantastic beans helped us achieve this dark, hoppy and wonderfully aromatic espresso stout.

NATTY GREENE’S SEASONAL / Greensboro, NC

Released on the 4th of July, Freedom is our all-American IPA. Big and bold, it’s all about the hops, and we use a lot of hops in every stage of the brewing process, starting with the mash and lautering, all the way through to dry-hopping.

Freedom is loaded with Centennial, Apollo, and Chinook hops, with an emphasis on the Chinook. Less often used by west coast brewers, Chinook gives Freedom a big citrus flavor without the grapefruit bite – more of a tangerine taste.

On the malt side, we dial things back to get just enough sweetness for balance, creating a hop-forward beer with plenty of complexity. ABV 6.5%   IBU 81

BOULEVARD LEMON GINGER RADLER /Kansas City, MO

Style: American Sour IBUs 10  ABV 6.2

Deriving its name from Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale of madness and murder, our newest Smokestack Series release takes a predictably lighthearted approach to the subject of sourness. The subtle acidity of Tell-Tale Tart is answered by a soft, biscuity malt character, making this a sour ale that suggests, rather than announcing its tartness. Beginning with a bracing sharpness at first sip, the ale mellows on the palate to a smooth and faintly lingering finish.

SOUTHERN TIER 2X TANGIER  / Lakewood, NY

Tangier has inspired thousands of legendary stories. It is a land that has fallen under Roman, Arab and Portuguese rule, and it’s home to legends tall and small. It is written that before his battle with the giant Antaeus, Hercules rested in a nearby cave. It is said that the city is a haven of spying and espionage. The city is an enigma with a history unlike any other and it’s a worthy namesake of our 2XTangier.

A Double India Pale Ale with spicy citrus aromas and stone fruit flavors. These flavors, with the addition of lightly roasted malts and brilliant hop bitterness, make 2XTangier a beverage as refreshing as it is exotic. 2XTangier is brewed as a stronger, bolder ale than its older brother, Tangier. It shares the same synergy between tangerine peel and spicy, citrusy, Mosaic hops. Enjoy 2XTangier in celebration of your epic adventure.
