Belmont Station Beer Forum: New Arrivals for Friday June 23, 2006

First off, the H.O.T.D. Blue Dot did NOT arrive today. Stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed for Tuesday. We did get a couple interesting things today, read on for more...

Full Sail Sunspot IPA - This arrived on Tuesday and somehow slipped my mind. Sunspot has a rich orange color from the use of special roasted crystal malt, lending the beer a nice sweet malt character. Sunspot is then whacked out of balance by an aggressive hopping schedule. Heavy dry-hopping adds further aromas and flavors.

Chouffe BIG Chouffe - As far as I know this is the same La Chouffe that you can find here regularly, but this special release is vintage dated and comes in a 1.5ltr Magnum with wonderful silk-screened pictures of the happy little gnomes. These are great for cellaring, sharing with friends, or giving to the Belgian beer lover on your list. 8%abv - $21.95 each

Chouffe Gift Sets - These limited edition gift sets feature one (1) bottle each of La Chouffe and Mc Chouffe, as well as a Chouffe tulip glass, all packed in an attractive, gnome-covered box. $24.95/ea

Sale beers for this weekend include the following:

Hale's American Pale Ale - $5.95/6pk
Snipes Mountain Sunnyside Pale Ale - $6.20/6pk
Blue Moon - $5.95/6pk
Fish Tale Organic IPA - $6.95/6pk

Random notes:
~We still have roughly 6 cases of Stone's Vertical Epic. It's going fast, so don't delay.

~Saturday you have your choice of two different festivals: Blues, Brews, and BBQ's in Stevenson, or the Brewers Summer Games hosted by Pelican. I'm sure both of them will be highly entertaining, all you have to do is choose a direction to drive.

~Travel safe, and have a great weekend!
