Sazerac Rye

 90 proof. Replaces J.A. Dougherty's & Sons Pure Rye and Old Superior Pure Rye. Distilled in Louisiana and Kentucky by Sazerac Company. Bottled in Kentucky. 

"The One and Only New Orleans Original. Sazerac Rye Whiskey symbolizes the tradition and history of New Orleans. Rye Whiskey dates back to the 1800’s, around the time when saloons, veiled as Coffee Houses, began lining the streets of New Orleans. It was at the Sazerac Coffee House on Royal Street where local patrons were served toddies made with Rye Whiskey and Peychaud’s Bitters. The libation became known as the 'Sazerac' and America’s first branded cocktail was born. This is the whiskey that started it all."

Pumpkinator

 Introduced in 2009, under another name. Returned to market in 2011, under the current title. Brewed in Texas by Saint Arnold. 

"Everything is a little over the top with our Imperial Pumpkin Stout, which perversely makes it balanced. Beyond the big malt bill, it has pumpkin (lots of it), molasses, brown sugar and a healthy load of spices. It’s 10.5% ABV which makes it a dessert by itself or the perfect accompaniment to your holiday meal.

This is also a beer that ages magnificently. Many really enjoy it most after a year or two. If you do want to lay some down, it is best to age this beer at cold temperatures (your refrigerator is highly recommended over your closet)."

Port Orleans Watermelon Kiwi Gose

 4.5% alcohol. Brewed in Louisiana by Port Orleans. 

"The addition of Watermelon and Kiwi in our gose base makes the not-so-chilly New Orleans “fall” weather a little more bearable. Combined with the satisfying juiciness of the fruit, the soft mouthfeel and dry finish come from the sea salt and coriander that is traditional to the gose style."

Mighty Cascade Brut IPA

 5.4% alcohol. 40 IBU. 

"Mighty Cascade Brut IPA from Kennebunkport Brewing Company (KBC) in Maine is right on the cutting edge of alternative IPAs. It’s a fusion of old and new that presents a super drinkable, refreshing take on India Pale Ale.

It starts with Cascade hops (that’s the “old”), the original hop that really helped push craft beer into the mainstream. Cascade is the backbone for many West Coast IPAs and for good reason with its pleasant floral aromas and citrus notes.

The “new” is found in the use of El Dorado hops for bouquet and Champagne yeast for fermentation. This yeast ferments cleanly and imparts minimal flavor for a crisp, very dry finish—similar to brut (“dry”) Champagne. Malt-wise, Pilsner malt promotes a delicate mouthfeel, while the addition of flaked oat helps create smoothness.

The final, masterful result is a light-golden colored, bubbly beer with floral aromas and bright, delicious, citrus notes all delivered on a crisp, dry, highly effervescent mouthfeel. Enjoy Mighty Cascade Brut IPA cold, poured into a tulip glass."

Campanology Coffee Peanut Butter Cup Porter

 9% alcohol. Introduced in 2020. Brewed in Wisconsin by Octopi Brewing for Campanology Brewing (Trader Joe's). 

"Beer for dessert? Dessert beer? Both, please. And thank you.

Campanology Coffee Peanut Butter Cup Porter, typical of porters, is a dark beer. It starts with more sugar than usual (roughly 30%). This makes the end result sweeter. The extra sugar provides more food for fermentation, which also results in higher gravity; in this case, 9% alcohol by volume (ABV). It’s brewed with chocolate malt, roasted barley, and coffee. Milk sugar contributes a creamier mouthfeel and some peanut butter powder gives it, well, hints of peanut butter! These nutty notes ride on top of the dark, dense porter body and play upon the more prominent chocolate and coffee flavors.

What the occasion for this beer? No need to be too specific, although it makes a good end to a savory meal. It also serves nicely as a liquid dessert, by itself, or paired with one or two of our famous Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.

We hinted at this in an episode of our podcast, Inside Trader Joe’s, way back in June, and now it’s finally here! We’re selling each 22 fluid ounce bottle of Campanology Coffee Peanut Butter Cup Porter for $3.99 (plus deposit where required), while supplies last!"
