Dorada

4.8% alcohol. Brewed in Louisiana by Port Orleans.

"Gold flowed into the Spanish Treasury from "The New World" and territory of Mexico and with it inspired the Mexican golden lager. Dorada, Spanish for 'golden', is our ode to the lager brewing traditions of Mexico. Dorada is a crisp light-bodied golden lager with just a touch of sweetness from the lemon zest it's brewed with. Put down that lime because you are not going to need it in this beer."

A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale

7.5% alcohol. 64 IBU. Introduced in 2009. Brewed in America by Lagunitas Brewing.

"Way smooth and silky with a nice wheatly-esque-ish-ness. A truly unique style featuring a strong hop finish on a silky body. A hoppy pale wheat ale that is great for IPA fans but so smooth that the hefeweizen fans dig it too."

4 Giants IPA

9.2% alcohol. 80 IBU. Sold April to June, 2020. Brewed in Michigan by Founders.

"We’ve made a lot of imperial IPAs over the years and, in turn, have had a lot of arguments over which one is the absolute best. So, to settle this once and for all, our brewers mashed up four of our favorite recipes into the ultimate imperial IPA. 4 Giants boasts aggressive bitterness balanced by a malty, sweet backbone while huge aromatics come courtesy of the seven American hop varieties."

Stone Tiki Escape IPA

7.7% alcohol. 80 IBU. Introduced in 2020. Special release. Brewed in America by Stone Brewing.

Eufloria Aromatic White

12% alcohol. Produced in Washington state by Pacific Rim. Canned in California.

"The grapes for Eufloria are from the Columbia Valley and come from many of our best vineyards such as Wallula in the Horse Heaven Hills and Ramos on Snipes Mountain. The grapes are picked at night to preserve acidity and limit phenolic extraction and quickly pressed at the winery. Each varietal is fermented separately and the blend is made in January following harvest. Riesling and Muscat are the dominant part of the blend; Riesling offers acidity and freshness while the Muscat brings aromatic intensity and exuberance. Pinot Gris provides structure and Gewurztraminer adds spice and complexity. Those four varietals are the classic aromatic grapes from Alsace. The blend does not go through malolactic conversion and does not see any oak. The resulting wine is fresh and aromatic with a hint of residual sugar and 12% alcohol. The wine is lightly carbonated at canning and is about 3,900 mg/L dissolved carbon dioxide making it slightly fizzy."
