New Beer Friday (Speakeasy Edition!)

We’ve been waiting a little while for these guys to drop through, but they finally made it today and it was definitely worth the wait, as we scored a couple of new Surly brews and a case each of two rarities from 903…check it out! Surly Hell-“Dorit Ansari is from Germany. Omar Ansari is her

Busch Light Peach: It’s Heeeeeeeere (Two Weeks Early!)

We begged. We pleaded. We might have hounded, cajoled, wheedled, etc. This wasn’t supposed to drop until mid-June, but our friends at N.H. Scheppers hooked us UP!! Check it out! I’m telling y’all, this is the flavor of summer! It pours a bit darker than Busch Light, and the nose is dead-on for ripe, fresh

New Beer Friday (Craft Republic Hazies and Sours Edition!)

Good morning, y’all! We’ve got some hot new allocations for you from the fine folks at Craft Republic, just in time for the weekend. While the hazy bois are likely to garner the most attention, we’ve got a couple of stunning, rare sours (including one more bottle of Cantillon!) that no one else got here

Back By Popular Demand: Founders “Fruit Stripes” Mix Pack

Ok, so that’s just what I call it. If you wanna get all specific about it, it’s technically called the Green Zebra Variety Pack, but who’s keeping track? The point is this variety pack of gose-style ale has four, count them, four different varieties of Green Zebra (Watermelon, Pineapple, Mango, and Peach) and for whatever

New from Second Shift: “Chocolate Chip Trip LSD”!

Is it just me, or does that cat kinda look like some of the artwork from Aerosmith’s late-Nineties “Nine Lives” album (maybe the last one they were relevant?). I kid, I kid…sorta. Anyway, oddly enough, that album came out right around about the time Steve Crider started homebrewing. The dude’s had a long time to

The Holy Grail of Lambic Producers Comes to Rockbridge Hy-Vee

It’s been a full eighteen years since I’ve actually seen this bottle “in the wild” as it were. That was way back in the day, when I was twenty-one or twenty-two, bumming around my local ‘big-box’ liquor store because I didn’t feel like going to my history lecture that day but had a couple of

Rare Beer Friday: Craft Republic Edition!

We always love to get news from Katie, our Craft Republic rep, that there’s cool new stuff coming in. Honestly, most of the time, I just take her word for it…if it’s cool and limited, yup, we’ll take it, we’ll figure out the details later! But we were especially excited for these two, as we

Feelin’ Surly: Friday Edition!

It’s been a long week, y’all, and I’m gonna be honest…I’ve felt a bit surly myself from time to time this week. I’m looking forward to relaxing and unwinding a bit over the weekend and sipping on one of these limited-edition brews from Surly seems like just the thing. Check ’em out! You can’t go

Sour Power! Cascade Returns to CoMO!!

We were really excited to hear that a limited number of beers from Cascade out in Portland, OR were going to be available again in the middle of the state. These guys were available to us here for a little while back in the day, but stock was extremely iffy and prices were high. We’re

Pipeworks Barrel-Aged Barleywine!

We only got 12 cans of this but were stoked that we actually were able to score an allocation! “Giddy Up! Barrel Aged Saddle Up is a cuvee of three different batches of barleywine. We took the best barrels laid down in 2017 and 2018 and blended them with fresh barleywine brewed in 2020 that
