"Cuvée Freddy dedicated to Sofie", or short "Cuvée Freddy (Sofie Edition)" is a barrel aged version of our blond 10 ABV sour Phi. Outside USA it's also available as Cuvée Sofie.

An oak-aged bitter beer. Originally the beer had a slight citrus-bitterness due to its 4 hops and the subsequent dry hopping. The beer is acidified while it ripens for 4 months in oak wine casks. The daring bitter-sour combination is moderated by this ripening process and as a consequence it is a very pleasant drinking beer.

The Belgians, they say, don’t actually much believe in the idea of beer styles. Having been to Belgium, we have to agree – we can lump some beers together by type, but Belgian brewing has a sort of wooly individuality that we admire. We are surely telling the truth if we say that British and Irish dark beers tend to be colored and flavored by roasted malts. And it’s equally true to say that Belgian dark beers tend to be colored and flavored with caramelized sugar syrup, giving them a very different set of flavors from their cousins across the Channel. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way. We love our Belgian yeasts and we also love stout, so you knew this would happen eventually. Brooklyn Cuvée Noire starts with a solid base of German malts, builds color and flavor from British and American roasted malts, gains rum notes from Mauritius raw sugar, grabs a hint of citrus from sweet orange peel, and then ferments under the flag of Belgium. Our Belgian house yeast lends the beer a gentle spiciness on a dry, brisk palate displaying light notes of chocolate, coffee and citrus, all underneath a fluffy tan head. The finish is clean and dry. Cuvée Noire is big enough to take a steak to dinner, roasty enough to love Mexican molé sauce, and complex enough to enjoy with nothing more than a good conversation. And as for the style thing, well, we’ll all just have to relax about this one. I mean, we’re not even sure that Belgium even has a government right now, and they don’t seem to be worrying much about it. So have yourself a Brooklyn Cuvée Noire. It’s from Brooklyn, not Belgium. We don’t have a king. Don’t fence us in.

We’ve decided to join the pumpkin and coffee beer game all at once with Cuvee Pumpkin Latte. This increasingly popular flavor combo transfers over to the beer world seamlessly. We start this beer with 300 pounds of pumpkin in our mash. Next, we add milk sugar and pumpkin spice to the boil. We ferment the beer with vanilla and right before packaging we turn the entire fermenter into a cold brew coffee tank where we add freshly ground Cuvee Brazil Fazenda Pantano Coffee. The end result is a wonderfully delectable and warmhearted beer to enjoy any time of the day.

Two-year-old lambic in which fresh HallertauMittelfrüh hops have been soaked. A perfect balance is struck between the lambic’s natural acidity and the Hallertau hops’ refined bitterness. In order to preserve the subtlety of the hops, the lambics selected for Cuvée Saint-Gilloise are elegant and refined such that the balance between acidity and bitterness is not disturbed. Since there is no blending with young lambic as for gueuze, and no addition of fructose as for fruit beers, secondary fermentation of Cuvée Saint-Gilloise in the bottle is brought about by adding liquid sucrose. Like all the beers produced at Cantillon Brewery Cuvée Saint-Gilloise will keep for a very long time in a good cellar, but also like all hopped beers it is best drunk when young so as to be able to fully enjoy the floral aspect of the hops.

Ale Impressions: Dark amber color, rich caramel malt flavor with noticeable bitterness. Slightly sweet and roasty finish, with mild hop aroma. Oak Impressions: Flavors of French and American oak imparting unique qualities present in series one and two. Impressions of vanilla, toasted coconut and alm

Cwrw Braf is a clean-drinking, amber-coloured ale with a light bitterness and gentle hop aroma. A session bitter yet, with all the flavours and quality you would expect from a Tomos Watkin premium ale.

Our immensely popular summer ale. Very light in colour, produced using no coloured malts, but strong in character and flavour. A blend of golding, fuggle and cascade hops give this beer a wonderfully refreshing zesty, citrus taste and a light summer aroma. A great summer drink from the cask and now available in a bottle.

Cyber Monday is a smooth, full bodied, black as night stout with plenty of bourbon on the nose and hints of tart cherry. It’s heavy mouthfeel leads into distinct flavors of whisky and cherry that ends with a nice long toasty finish. This Russian Imperial Stout with cherries was aged for 10 months in 12 year bourbon barrels.

It’s a coffee milk stout, inspired by the Rhode Island tradition of coffee milk. It’s a 7.0% stout Autocrat’s famous natural coffee extract and milk.

She’s a peach! The use of imported special B-malt lends a natural ’raisiny’ background flavor while cara-malt adds characteristic sweetness. She’s brewed to be peachy enough to please, but not to overwhelm. Think, "Peach Cobbler"-Ale and enjoy Ophelia with dessert! 5.9% ABV with 20 IBU.

The Cyclone Series’ first foray into barrel aged beers is nothing short of unique. With our rum distillery in the same building that we make our beer in, it only made sense we would choose to age a beer in rum, not whisky or bourbon, barrels. After over a year of testing and experimenting, we created an inky black porter to carefully age in our Thomas Tew Rum barrels. After just the right amount of aging, the resulting beer is a bold and roasted porter balanced with oak, butter, spice, and rum notes from the barrel aging process.

A limited release “Belgian Pale Ale,” Cyclone Sabrina is the delightful offspring of two brewing worlds – Belgian and American. She was brewed in October on the second birthday of her namesake, Sabrina Ryan, daughter of one of Newport Storm’s founders. Cyclone Sabrina (the beer) is quite simple up front (only pale malt was used) and relatively straight-forward without complicated hopping schedules. We chose to let the authentic Belgian yeast’s attributes shine—with all its yummy carried phenols, bubble gum esters, and clove smells. A Cascade citrus background ties this beer to American Pale Ales without overshadowing the yeast’s dominant profile. Lastly, this is our first unfiltered brew released at the New Newport Storm Brewery and is, like ‘Cyclone Sabrina Ryan’ – beautifully unique.

Ursula adds yet another unique twist to Newport Storm’s Cyclone Series of limited release beers. A first for the series, Ursula employs two different yeast strains (lager and champagne) added at different times to create this complex pale lager. Traditional European malt and Czech Saaz hops connect this beer with the roots of lager while the champagne yeast gives it a remarkably dry and crisp finish for a beer over 6% ABV. Appropriately, for a beer from the Ocean State, Ursula is especially well suited at accompanying all types of seafood. Process notes –Long 5 week lager fermentation, Saaz dry hopping, secondary fermentation with champagne yeast.

Not afraid of a challege, we created our most complicated and technical brew yet! With the help of some gumption, nerve and a microbiology background, we were able to do in just 2 months, what it normally takes brewers years to accomplish! The brewing crew at Newport Storm craftily cultivated this tricky scientific process to make a beer that your taste buds will dancer over! Essentially the same sciences behind what makes sour cream or yogurt sour are working in Xavier, where we use other microorganisms other than yeast to purposely give the beer a tart flavor. Sour ales are a very distinct style of beer that isn’t super common just yet, but is definitely gaining in popularity.

In 2006, the Coastal Extreme Brewing Crew started the Cyclone Series, a clever idea before limited release beers were the norm. This clever idea produced 26 different beers ranging widely in taste, complexity, and lack of sleep for our brewers! We traveled through the alphabet, with no shortcuts, starting with Alyssa and now introducing, the last letter ‘Z’ for Zach, an imperial oatmeal stout. Cyclone Zach is an intense beer, both in its brewing and flavor profile. Six mashes, rather than the usual two, were required to create this brew, leading to round the clock brewing. Boasting a 10.1% ABV Zach is truly a big and bold beer, but his most important characteristic is smoothness. To create Zach’s silky smooth flavor, the brewers combined extra tank conditioning time with the addition of the most flaked oat ever used in a Storm brew, to balance the otherwise over intense roasted backbone of the beer. This Cyclone will stand up to the test of time, our Brew Master recommends aging this beer for years to come.
