Despite its name, we promise you'll have no regrets after trying Selkirk Abbey's Guilt Belgian Coffee Porter! 

About the Brewery
Earlier this year, the folks at Thrillist set out to find the best craft brewery in every state...and in Idaho, they found Selkirk Abbey. Here's why they say they're the best in the state:
"Rural northern Idaho might just be the furthest thing from Belgium, what with all the truck nuts and tin cans, which makes Selkirk Abbey all the more special. This is a place that takes its Belgian influence beyond aesthetics, brewing its wares on open-fire systems of the oldest-school variety. But none of that means a thing if the beers don’t hold up. Thankfully, mainstays like the Chapel Witbier and Deacon Belgian Pale and seasonals including remarkable saisons and Scottish ales take the Belgian influence well beyond imitation and into the realm of greatness."

About the Beer
For starters, this tasty treat (and winner of Selkirk's 2013 Home Brew Contest) is brewed with fresh beans from Selkirk's neighbor, DOMA Coffee Roasting Company. Dark mahogany brown, medium bodied with nice creaminess & great roast at the end. The coffee in this brew is both subtle and evident - its smooth with hints of spice & mocha, but the coffee is not overdone. 

ABV: 8.3%
IBU: 45
Special Ingredients: DOMA coffee

No tricks here! This one is just a true treat. Get spooky this week with RJ Rockers Gruntled Pumpkin Ale.

About the Brewery
As Founder & Head Brewer Mark Johnsen will tell you, this Spartanburg, South Carolina brewery prides itself on keeping it simple & making great quality beer. Following his service in the 1991 Gulf War, Mark was stationed in Germany as a member of the United States armed forces, and he took this opportunity to learn as much as possible about brewing from the experts. By the time he was honorably discharged from the service, he was ready to take his beer to the public - RJ Rockers Brewing Company was born in 1997. After five successful years of building a reputation for having some of the best and freshest craft-brewed beers in South Carolina, RJ Rockers made the transition into the microbrewing industry. Now their beer can be found fresh and on tap all over the Southeast.

About the Beer
This beer has gotten a face lift since last year's release. We're talking new label, new 4-bottle package, more pumpkin and higher ABV. 
Gruntled Pumpkin is brewed with over 10 pounds of pumpkin per barrel and a variety of fall spices that enhance the aroma and flavor of the beer. Enjoy this fall seasonal, kick back, and GET GRUNTLED!

'Raise your goblets  to the sky in one accord!' Civil Life's "peace offering" - their soft, biscuity English-style Angel in the Sword Ale - is on tap!

About the Brewery
Friends Jake Hafner, Dylan Mosley and Mike Bianco founded The Civil Life Brewing Co. in 2011 when they converted a 1950's St. Louis warehouse into a traditional European styled pub. They are proudly malt-driven & they model their ales on the classics from Germany, England and America. Their logos are drawn by a famous tattoo artist, and their 20 barrel brewhouse is powered in part by 125 American-made solar panels. The guys are excited to spend their money on top quality ingredients rather than electric bills. 

About the Beer
ABV: 4.6%
IBUs: 25
Malts: ESB, aroma, crystal and amber malt
Hops: East Kent Goldings, Fuggle
Yeast: English Ale

This is Civil Life's loose interpretation of an English ESB. Bready, nutty, bittersweet and malt-driven.

And while the blend itself isn't going anywhere, unfortunately this is the last year that it can be bottled under 'The Dogfather' name, due to a conflict of interest with 'The Godfather' movie franchise.

Inspired by the rustic farmhouse-style Saisons of Southern Belgium, this week's feature - Perennial's Regalia Brett Saison - is sturdy, complex and aged to perfection!

About the Brewery
The Perennial philosophy is to brew beer with the adventurous craft beer drinker in mind. Founders Phil & Emily Wymore & their crew focus on small, hand-crafted batches of beer & use local, seasonal and organic ingredients as much as possible. Their brews are influenced mostly by Belgian and American craft styles, but the addition of premium ingredients such as fruits, spices or wild yeast strains sometimes causes the beers to defy traditional categories.

Perennial also has a barrel aging program that features beers aged in wine and spirits barrels, ranging from a Rye barrel-aged Mexican Chocolate Stout to a wild yeast fermented Saison aged on Missouri wine grapes in French oak wine barrels. Brewmaster Phil strives to achieve balance with each of the recipes, making Perennial beers exceptional with food.

About the Beer
This one happens to be a favorite of Ben, our craft beer manager & resident beer enthusiast. It's made with a specific strain of Brett yeast called Brettanomyces Anomala, which actually gives off tropical fruit flavors as it ages, rather than the traditional sour, earthy, barnyard-like flavors. 8.5% ABV & aged to perfection. Enjoy!
