Oakspire Four Roses

9% alcohol. 27 IBU. Brewed in America by New Belgium Brewing. "We first began brewing Oakspire in 2018 as a special release around the Holidays and it has since become a fan favorite. In 2022, we're thrilled to partner with Four Roses Distillery again, known for their smooth, fruit forward and slightly spicy bourbons. Oakspire features a custom-built, proprietary infusion method to pull the flavors from the bourbon-steeped charred oak and marries it with a malty-sweet, deep amber ale." https://www.newbelgium.com/beer/oakspire/

Shuck It

6.2% alcohol. Brewed in Delaware by Big Oyster Brewery. "Shuck It! Oyster stout is an ode to our name Big Oyster Brewery. Historically, Oyster Stout began in the late 1800s when brewers found out that the shell of an oyster is packed with calcium carbonate, which could be used to purify and improve the beer while brewing. We at Big Oyster are keeping the tradition of Oyster Stout alive by adding our own spin on it to make this beer a rich and roasty sweet stout brewed with locally harvested oysters. Hints of dark chocolate and toasty bread will satisfy even the most sophisticated taste buds. Coming in at 6.2% abv, Shuck It will have you dreaming of relaxing days on the bay." https://www.bigoysterbrewery.com/beer-archive.html?start=90

Don Q Gold

40% alcohol. Produced in Puerto Rico by Destilería Serrallés. "Don Q Gold is a favorite of those searching for a classic rum taste. With a similar production process to Cristal—but more flavor to punch up a traditional rum cocktail—it’s a blend of rums aged 1½ to 5 years, smooth, and easy to drink. Our carbon filtration process removes impurities but leaves all the delicious rummy flavors. Give Gold a try when you’re being creative behind the bar." https://donq.com/rums/gold/
