VAPOR IS A HOPPED UP CALIFORNIA COMMON BREWED WITH OUR GOOD FRIEND MIKE “TASTY” MCDOLE

Apricot ginger Imperial IPA that uses apricot puree and ginger brewed in collorabation with Cigar City.

Dark Mexican Lager what is that? I thought all Mexican beer tastes and looks like Corona? Historically a Mexican Lager was born from a Vienna Lager and is still being produced today, think Negro Modelo. This malty but yet dry finishing beer is a great introduction to lagers of the darker variety.

For many, the verbiage "Belgian Golden Strong Ale" conjures the mental visage of a chalice of straw-hued liquid nearly overflowing with tight, fluffy, white bubbles. Though that effervescent European classic was a solid base for this, the sophomore release from our center for beer experimentation, but to test its unexplored possibilities, we added a sufficient lode of hops to up the ale’s bitter character and dry finish. Next came a lengthy aging period in bourbon whiskey barrels, quite the rarity for this style. Named for the Bulgarian site from which the largest golden treasure in history was excavated, this beer presents a wealth of next-level nuances including vanilla, wood and spice.

Have you ever found yourself eating a spoonful (or more) of delicious peanut butter? Somewhere in the collective American consciousness is this desire for guilty pleasures. If you don’t have an allergy to nuts, then perhaps you know what I’m talking about. After college my roommate’s mother bought him groceries. He (Vaughn) always had food while I was starving on a shoestring budget. So, for basic survival I’d eat out of his peanut butter jar and smooth over my spoon marks. He’d go crazy and tell me to stay out of his stuff! That began my obsession with peanut butter (the 5th food group). In our Porter, the peanut butter adds a tinge of warm satisfaction as the flavor sits on the back of the palate. We separate the oil from the nut paste and remove any residual oils from the fermentation. What you’re left with is a dark and creamy porter that might keep you out of the peanut butter jar, at least for that day. Raise your glass to Vaughn!

Vedett, a blond, light, well hopped premium beer with 5.2% alcohol content, is the cult Duvel Moortgat beer today: following its birth in 1945, it quickly acquired fame and recognition within an intimate circle of insiders in the Antwerp-Brussels region. But do not think for a moment that this oldtimer is thinking about retirement, quite the contrary. For the past years, Vedett has been going through a second childhood in a number of trendy cafés located mainly in big cities. The secret of its charm? A retro-look, a capricious taste, Vedett-allure and the "golden touch" of the brewery. These past years, the brewery armed Vedett with an innovative, hip, young and slightly absurd image. A successful strategy, especially with the youth: Right now, you'll find Vedett in Belgian Delhaize supermarkets and most Flemish cities as well as in Brussels. And the follow-up to the story? You can read it at www.vedett.com.

Vedett Extra White was launched in 2008 and is far from being a traditional white beer, both in appearance and taste. It is surprisingly crisp with lemon and orange zest, mildly bitter with a dry finish

Using a hop bill consisting of all Southern Hemisphere grown varietals, Vegemite Sandwich offers a unique take on the style lending aromas and flavors of pineapple and tangerines.

Clear golden pour, small white head, short lived. Smells better than the average, some nice and bitter hops, faint yellow apple. Taste starts with sweet malts, again the nice cereal taste like the Tamno Pivo, bit of toastiness, followed fast by dry grassy bitterness until the finish. Some mild fruitiness throughout, faint floral notes too. Smooth light body, medium carbonation. Aftertaste is mostly bitter. Nice beer, tho it has some off "homemade" notes.

Our deliciously peachy Belgian wheat ale is the perfect antidote to the summer doldrums, with a tempting fresh fruit aroma and juicy sweet flavor, tempered by a mild peppery-spice character from the use of authentic abbey ale yeast. Here's to summer!
