Braupakt

6% alcohol. 35 IBU. Introduced in 2018, for a one-time release. Brewed, in Germany, by Weihenstephaner & Sierra Nevada.

"This naturally cloudy amber Hefeweizen has a firm, creamy head and reveals fragrances of peach, apricot and citrus on the nose. The initial impression on the palate is of a bouquet of aromas, including subtle touches of banana plus refreshing grapefruit from the American Chinook hops. The fruity peach and apricot notes from the Amarillo hops are balanced by the gentle sweetness of the caramel malt. The beer has a delicate tartness that melds into a harmonious mouthfeel on the finish."

SIDECAR® ORANGE IPA

6.8% alcohol. 45 IBU. Introduced in 2018.

We pushed the complex and citrus-heavy flavors of hops to a new level with this orange-infused IPA. Combining bright and bold hops with real orange in the fermenter creates layers of citrus-crazy flavors, yet it maintains a balance and a crisp hop bite that make it the perfect aromatic IPA.

Glen Carlou Grand Classique 2010

14.1% alcohol. 2010 Vintage. Imported from South Africa. A dessert wine.

"Striving towards the perfect blended balance, this complex yet elegant wine has a vibrant dark red colour with hints of herbal and violet aromas folded into layers of fruit, dark chocolate and savoury notes.
It is smooth and supple on the palate with ripe tannins, good concentration and persistent plush finish.

The name Bordeaux derives from the French au bord de l’eau which means “along the waters”. Bordeaux red wine is typically Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec."
