  • Week of 12/28/15 - Monocacy Brewing Co.

    monocacy caseHappy New Year to us! One of Kysela's most exciting changes for 2016 in our craft beer segment is the addition of Monocacy Brewing Co. to our Maryland portfolio.

    We started working with this terrific local brewery in 2014, but only in DC. This year we added Virginia to our sales territory, and now we are excited to add Maryland as of January 1st. Monocacy is based in MD, and up until now, they self-distributed in their home state. Now they have increased their production drastically and are ready for the next level. We are happy to be a part of their growth!

    Monocacy's portfolio consists of 3 solid offerings:

    Riot Rye Pale Ale - a ruckus of complex flavor is carried in on the amber glow of torchlight. As tension builds between hop bitterness and the malty tones delivered by locally grown and malted grist, a perfect balance is achieved. The robust texture of rye allies itself with the flavors from specialty malts and hops to rebel against preconceived notions of beer. Unseat the crown. Start a Riot. 

    HL Rex Session Pale Ale - as one king falls, another takes his throne. The aromatic reign of Humulus Lupulus (hops) is supported in every sip by resounding and victorious malt flavors. Unlike the intense and aggressive monuments to the prior Rex, this veritable Hop King is upheld by a delightfully textured throne and serves as a beacon to those seeking a balance worthy of prolonged sessions. Raise A Glass. All Hail HL Rex.

    Brewtus Coffee Stout - from the shadows of a dark and opulent curtain spring the robust aromas of locally roasted coffee and hardy malt. Deep-seated hop bitterness rallies with these conspirators, delivering a well-balanced thrust of assertive flavor to a bland tyrant. Raise a glass in celebration of liberating taste. Et tu, Brewte?se conspirators, delivering a well-balanced thrust of assertive flavor to a bland tyrant. Raise a glass in celebration of liberating taste.

    Keep an eye out for new seasonal offerings in the future!

  • Week of 3/23/15 - Brewer's Alley IPA

    brewer alley ipa hq bottle Try Brewer's Alley IPA, a beautiful, award-winning English-style IPA!

    Brewer's Alley is located in Frederick County, Maryland (practically Kysela's back yard) and was Frederick's first brew pub. For over 153 years, Brewer’s Alley was a fixture in the social and economic landscape of Frederick. Beer production in its original location ceased in 1901, when a large fire consumed the brewery owned by John Kuhn, the last in a long line of brewers to occupy space along the banks of Carroll Creek. Ninety-five years after leaving Frederick, Brewer’s Alley is back! The doors opened in 1996, and great brews & meals have been served there ever since.

    This India Pale Ale strikes a beautiful balance between assertive hop bitterness and caramel maltiness. It's got an earthy & herbal hop aroma & a slight amber hue. Like its English cousins, this medium bodied IPA is layered with flavors, that invite the drinker to take another sip.
