Cantillon Cuvee St. Gilloise
BELGIUM - Jean’s first dry-hopped gueuze. A two year aged lambic with fresh Hallertau-Mettelfrüh hops that have been ‘soaked’ in the lambic. While not bitter by American standards, this is generally considered Cantillon’s bitterest beer. 5.5%abv
Cantillon Gueuze
BELGIUM - A blend of 3 year old, 2 year old & 1 year old lambics. A bit of sugar is added to condition the keg. This is a Traditional Gueuze (or Oude Gueuze) made by arguably the most authentic Lambic producer. This gueuze is softly carbonated and has a that distinctive Cantillon house character - a bit of barnyard, a bit acidic and that thirst quenching sourness. EXCELLENT!
Cantillon Kriek
BELGIUM - Whole morello cherries added at the rate of 200g per liter. Macerated in stainless steel tanks. There develops an almond aroma and flavor due to the cherries being added whole, with the pits – or ‘stones’ as Jean refers to them. 5.5%abv

Russian River Pliny for President
CALIFORNIA - Double dry-hopped double IPA from our pals Vinnie, Natalie and crew in Santa Rosa, CA. This is their quadrennial iteration of Pliny the Elder for the presidential election cycle. Seductive hop aroma perfectly balance by the malt. Crisp, dry finish. Can't go wrong. VOTE!! 8%abv However please don't waste your vote on Pliny. It would be funny though, but...Our Democracy & our Planet depend on your vote. You can't brew beer without a healthy water supply. I kinda like drinking clean water & breathing clean air don't you?
Russian River Pliny the Elder
WINDSOR, CALIFORNIA - A bit of history first: Vinnie Cilurzo brewed America's first Double IPA, named "Inaugural Ale", back in 1994 at Blind Pig Brewing Co, Temecula, CA. Then Vinnie was hired as the original and only head brewer at Korbel Chanpagnes Cellars' foray into brewing - Russian River Brewing Co. Vinnie and his wife, Natalie bought the brewery a few years later and opened their Santa Rosa location. Vinnie is the originator of this style and he still brews the best version, Pliny the Elder. Brewed with copious amounts of Amarillo, Centennial, CTZ, and Simcoe hops. Very hoppy, but not a hop bomb - the balance of the malt and hops is extraordinary. Super drinkable, but be careful it's 8%abv.
