Mug Club Bottles

  1. Black Butte Porter Porter – American

5.5% ABV 30 IBU Deschutes Brewery Bend, OR  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

This is the beer that started it all. A delicate, creamy mouthfeel contrasts with layered depth revealing distinctive chocolate and coffee notes. Dark and rich, yet easy to drink.

 

  1. Ayinger Celebrator Bock – Doppelbock

6.7% ABV 24 IBU Ayinger Privatbrauerei Aying, Bayern  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

A beer that has a dominant malty taste. This beer’s origins in a monk’s recipe are reflected in its heartiness. The Pope of Beers, Conrad Seidl, describes it as: “Almost black with a very slight red tone, a sensational, festive foam and truly extraordinary fragrance that at first summons up visions of greaves lard. The first taste is of mild fullness with an accompanying coffee tone, which becomes more dominant with the aftertaste. There is very little of the sweetness that is frequently to be tasted with doppelbock beer.” The Ayinger Celebrator has been ranked among the best beers of the world by the Chicago Testing Institute several times and has won numerous medals.

 

  1. Punkin Ale Pumpkin

7% ABV 28 IBU Dogfish Head Craft Brewery Milton, DE  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

5.5% ABV 15 IBU Brouwerij St.Bernardus Watou, Vlaanderen  Rated 3.5 out of 5 on Untappd

St.Bernardus Wit is a traditional unfiltered Belgian wheat beer. It was developed in collaboration with Pierre Celis, the legendary master brewer who was the driver of the resurgence of white beer in the 1960’s. St.Bernardus Wit looks distinguished and classic with its attractive, golden-yellow colour hidden under a subtle veil – it epitomises the authentic Belgian cloudy white beer. The fresh aromas of coriander and orange are perfectly balanced with the notes of pungent clove and fruity lemon. These zingy herbs combine with the creaminess of the wheat to produce a beer that is a masterclass in balance. St.Bernardus Wit is also available in can with an artwork of Belgian illustrator Arno Kiss.

 

  1. Chimay Cinq Cents (White) Belgian Tripel

8% ABV 38 IBU Bières de Chimay Chimay, Région Wallonne  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Named Cinq Cents in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, this beer, with its typical golden color, slightly hazy appearance and fine head, is especially characterized by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. It was first brewed by the monks of Chimay at Scourmont Abbey in 1966. Above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma.

 

  1. Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue) Belgian Strong Dark Ale

It is ideally served at cellar temperature (10 to 12°C).

 

  1. #9 Pale Ale – American

5.1% ABV 20 IBU Magic Hat Brewing Company South Burlington, VT  Rated 3.5 out of 5 on Untappd

“A Beer Cloaked in Secrecy” An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more than it answers. A sort of dry, crisp, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. #9 is really impossible to describe because there’s never been anything else quite like it. Our secret ingredient introduces a most unusual aroma profile which is balanced with a residual sweetness. Our gateway beer, # 9 is very accessible, appealing to a broad range of pallets. Malts: Pale & Crystal Hops: Apollo & Cascade

4.2% ABV 12 IBU Anderson Valley Brewing Company Boonville, CA  Rated 3.5 out of 5 on Untappd

With a bright, golden color and tight, creamy head, the earthy wood undertones in this beer develop into a light mineral aroma with a hint of lemon zest and tropical fruit. An initial refreshing tartness gives way to a subtle fullness, with flavors of guava and peach followed by a slight sea salt dryness and lemon sourness. The finish is dry, effervescent, and lemon tangy, reminiscent of a fresh sea breeze.

 

  1. Raging Bitch IPA – Belgian

8.3% ABV 60 IBU Flying Dog Brewery Utica, NY  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Two inflammatory words…one wild drink. Nectar imprisoned in a bottle. An anything-but-delicate blend of sharp hoppiness and fruity aroma, this beer is a life-changing backyard knife-fight for your palate. Once you’ve had a Raging Bitch, everything else pales in comparison. Fermented with a volcano-like Belgian yeast strain called “El Diablo,” Raging Bitch earned its polarizing name from the aggressively active nature of the yeast—unleashed, untamed, unbridled…and in heat. Enjoy its golden glow and white foaming head alongside bold flavors like spicy BBQ wings, blue cheese salads, or that bag of family-sized Cool Ranch Doritos you’re going to destroy later while binge-watching Netflix.

9.5% ABV 40 IBU Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle Malle, Vlaanderen  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Was first brewed in 1934 and the recipe has not changed since 1956. It is made with pale candy sugar and has a very pale color produced from a mash of light pilsener malts.

  1. Guinness Draught Stout – Irish Dry

4.2% ABV 45 IBU Guinness Dublin, County Dublin  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

  1. Leffe Blonde / Blond Belgian Blonde

6.6% ABV 20 IBU Abbaye de Leffe Leuven, Vlaanderen  Rated 3.5 out of 5 on Untappd

In the fifties, an extraordinary meeting took place that all beer enthusiasts should raise their glass of Leffe to. 
 The abbey’s Father Abbot Nys became acquainted with Albert Lootvoet, a master brewer.
 Passionate about the future of the brewery, Father Nys was upset to have to witness how, since the unpleasant stay of the French revolutionaries, the brewery had slowly fallen into decline and had eventually had to close its doors in 1809. Such a magnificent place could not be forgotten, he believed, and he vowed to bring the Leffe beer back. Father Nys and the brewer set about the challenge with vigour…and succeeded. Shortly after, the Leffe brewery was back in full effect. After Leffe Brown, a beer that shone brighter than the sun saw the light of day; they named it Leffe Blond – a beautiful chapter for Leffe indeed. Leffe Blond is the flagship of Leffe. The unique recipe is the fruit of centuries of experience in the art of brewing, which brings a broad palette of aromas into balance. It is elegant, smooth and fruity, and it has a spicy aftertaste with a hint of bitter orange. Its light, sunny colour is due to the use of pale malt. Leffe Blond contains 6.6 % alcohol and fits excellently with a wide variety of dishes. It is best at a temperature of 5° to 6° Celsius. A thirst-quenching aperitif, for those relaxing moments with friends and family.

 

  1. Arrogant Bastard Ale Strong Ale – American

7.2% ABV 100 IBU Arrogant Consortia Escondido, CA  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

This is an aggressive ale. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth. We would suggest that you stick to safer and more familiar territory–maybe something with a multi-million dollar ad campaign aimed at convincing you it’s made in a little brewery, or one that implies that their tasteless fizzy yellow beverage will give you more sex appeal. Perhaps you think multi-million dollar ad campaigns make things taste better. Perhaps you’re mouthing your words as you read this.

4.5% ABV 21 IBU Guinness Dublin, County Dublin  Rated 3.25 out of 5 on Untappd

  1. Grolsch Premium Lager Pilsner – Other

5% ABV 28 IBU Koninklijke Grolsch Enschede, Overijssel  Rated 3.25 out of 5 on Untappd

A traditional Pilsner style beer with a big hoppy flavour and bite owing to dry hopping late in the brewing process. The zesty and fragrant hops make for a refreshingly dry finish and a slight sweet and sharp zing to the palate, which are best enjoyed with rich, creamy foods like pork sausage and mustard mash, quality fish and chips or cheese like Old Amsterdam, Edam or Brie. Grolsch is known to use a distinctively shaped bottle for its beer, known as de beugel or ‘swingtop’.

 

  1. Persian Lime GoseSour – Fruited Gose

4.8% ABV Two Roads Brewing Company Stratford, CT  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Two Roads is driving down the road less traveled with this Persian Lime Gose. We kettle soured this ale in our own tanker truck trailer – a former milk tanker (like the one on the front label) that’s parked right on the grounds of our brewery! We source the freshest persian lime (Citrus latifolia) juice through a local craft juicery and blend it into a classic Gose brew with an added twist – flaked rye. The result is a strikingly vibrant fresh lime aroma and flavor that shouts refreshment! Here’s to taking the road less traveled, in life and in beer!

 

  1. Milk StoutStout – Milk

5% ABV 25 IBU Lancaster Brewing Company Lancaster, PA  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Brewed in Lancaster since 1994, we’re proud to present America’s original craft Milk Stout. Notes of roasted malt, coffee & chocolate goodness play counterpoint to a mild sweetness from the addition of milk sugar… You can’t go wrong with award winning Lancaster Milk Stout.

 

  1. Tripel KarmelietBelgian Tripel

8.4% ABV 16 IBU Brouwerij Bosteels Buggenhout, Vlaanderen  Rated 4.0 out of 5 on Untappd

Tripel Karmeliet is still brewed to an authentic beer recipe from 1679 originating in the former Carmelite monastery in Dendermonde. Written over 300 years ago, this recipe describes the use of three kinds of grain: wheat, oats and barley. The name Tripel karmeliet thus refers both to its origin and its in-bottle refermentation. From many trial brews of multigrain tripels carried out at our brewery in the 90s, it appears that the particular historic combination of the 3 kinds of grain still remains the ideal blend.

 

  1. Pilsner UrquellPilsner – Czech

4.4% ABV 40 IBU Plzeňský Prazdroj Plzeň-město, Plzeňský kraj  Rated 3.25 out of 5 on Untappd

In 1842, at our brewery in Plzeň, brewer Josef Groll introduced the world to the first golden ‘pilsner’ lager, and changed beer forever. His invention soon became the most popular style of beer on the planet. We’ve brewed Pilsner Urquell in the same brewery using the same recipe for over 175 years. Today, we still insist on using traditional methods, like triple decoction and parallel brewing in wooden lagering barrels. It takes longer but means we never compromise on our taste. Pilsner Urquell’s signature flavour balances sweetness from the triple-decocted malt, and bitterness from our Saaz hops. The thick head of dense wet foam adds smoothness and seals in flavour and aroma. In every sip of Pilsner Urquell you’ll notice a refreshing crispness from natural carbonation, then subtle caramel tones and a clean finish with a pleasing hoppy bitterness.

 

  1. Weihenstephaner HefeweissbierWheat Beer – Hefeweizen

5.4% ABV 14 IBU Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan Freising, Bayern  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Our golden-yellow wheat beer, with its fine-pored white foam, smells of cloves and impresses consumers with its refreshing banana flavour. It is full bodied and with a smooth yeast taste. To be enjoyed at any time (always a pleasure / enjoyment), goes excellently with fish and seafood, with spicy cheese and especially with the traditional Bavarian veal sausage. Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.

 

  1. Abbey AleBelgian Dubbel

8.2% ABV 20 IBU Brewery Ommegang Cooperstown, NY  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

The brew that opened our doors in 1997, Abbey Ale brought Trappist-style brewing to America. This full-bodied dubbel pours a deep burgundy with a fluffy head and enchanting aromas. Rich, fruity flavors and hints of honey, caramel and toffee linger before giving way to a long, dry finish. Brewed with Belgian specialty malts and a variety of spices, it pairs well with roasted meats, pates and terrines, and soft cheeses. Life, like this beer, is rife with complexity. We choose to celebrate it.

 

  1. WittingWheat Beer – Witbier

5% ABV Well Crafted Beer Company Lansdale, PA  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

A refreshing and effervescent Belgian Ale, brewed with coriander, orange peel and a generous helping of malted and raw wheat. A nuanced Belgian ester profile brings along lovely notes of coriander, raw honey, wild flowers, and a touch of citrus.

 

  1. Oatmeal StoutStout – Oatmeal

5% ABV 32 IBU Samuel Smith Tadcaster, North Yorkshire  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Brewed with well water (the original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use, with the hard well water being drawn from 85 feet underground); fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ to create an almost opaque, wonderfully silky and smooth textured ale with a complex medium dry palate and bittersweet finish.

 

  1. Milk StoutStout – Milk

5.7% ABV 25 IBU The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery Farmville, NC  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

The Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout is a traditional full-bodied stout brewed with lactose (milk sugar). The subtle sweetness imparted by the lactose balances the sharpness of the highly roasted grains which give this delicious beer its black color.

 

  1. Old Engine OilPorter – English

6% ABV 40 IBU Harviestoun Brewery Alva, Clackmannanshire  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

This beer is just the job for anyone who appreciates beautifully engineered stuff that used to be made properly. So undo the top button of your pressed pits overalls, ease into the wingback and roll out a rare taste of a truly great British beer. Old Engine Oil is a remarkably smooth, creamy brew with a beautiful velvety mouthfeel. Enjoy flavours of coffee, slightly buttered toffee, dark chocolate and earthy hops. You may find some mild cherry fruit within the residual sweetness, neatly accompanying the roasted flavours that ride with you all the way to the finish. Born in 2000, this winner of the first ever Tesco Beer Challenge was always designed to have a thick, dark, gloopy appearance. We piled in the oats to smooth out the bitterness from the roast barley and laid on a super-high-temperature mash to make the wort less fermentable. The result is a really black beer that has a greater sweetness and fuller flavour than many other stouts and porters, as well as a surprisingly light texture. HOPS: Galena, East Kent Goldings, Fuggles MALTS: Roast barley, oats

 

  1. Trappistes Rochefort 8Belgian Strong Dark Ale

9.2% ABV 22 IBU Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy Rochefort, Région Wallonne  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

  1. Delirium TremensBelgian Strong Golden Ale

8.5% ABV 24 IBU Delirium – Huyghe Brewery Melle, Vlaanderen  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

The allusion to pink elephants and the choice of names is not due to chance. With a particular character, the unique taste results from triple fermentation and the use of three different yeast strains. Sweet, biscuit malt backbone, supported by pleasant warmth and spice, finishes well rounded, floral, and dry. Color and Sight: Pale blond, the fine and regular sparkle creates a nice, stable foam head. Scent: Slightly malty, heavy touch of alcohol, spicy. Taste: A good shot of alcohol ignites in the mouth, as it were, which really warms the tongue and palate. The taste is also characterized by its roundness. The finish is strong, long and dry bitter.

 

  1. Icelandic Toasted PorterPorter – Baltic

6% ABV Einstök Ölgerð Akureyri, Norðurland eystra  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

  1. FramboiseLambic – Framboise

2.5% ABV 12 IBU Brouwerij Lindemans Vlezenbeek, Vlaanderen  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

The appearance of this exceptional beer is matched only by its taste! To make our Framboise, we add raspberry juice to our lambic. That gives it a delicate fruity aroma and a beautiful dark pink colour, just like the dress I wore to our cousin Willy’s wedding. (But that’s of no interest to you since you undoubtedly don’t know Willy). Framboise is served as an aperitif, but I also use it in cooking. And when I don’t finish the bottle in my preparations, I finish it in my glass.

 

  1. KriekLambic – Kriek

3.5% ABV 18 IBU Brouwerij Lindemans Vlezenbeek, Vlaanderen  Rated 3.5 out of 5 on Untappd

We’ve already told you that our family never does anything the way other people do. Kriek Lindemans is a good example of that. In order to obtain a beer like no other, we have been adding whole sour cherries to our lambic for generations. Our meeting with American importer Charles Finkel in the 1970s revolutionised the fruit beer segment. Charles convinced us to export our old kriek to the United States by boat. What we had not thought of is that the movement of the waves would reactivate the fermentation process and cause the corks to pop during the trip. It was like something out of The Adventures of Tintin. To prevent that from happening, we therefore developed an alternative production method for our kriek. We use fresh, not from concentrate, unsweetened cherry filtrate which we blend with lambic that is at least one year old before fermenting & macerating for up to 3 days and pasteurising the whole batch. So the corks don’t pop. Due to the use of filtrate and pasteurisation, this kriek is sweeter and fruitier than Old Kriek Cuvée René, which undergoes a second fermentation process in the bottle. Thanks to its innovative flavour, it was a resounding success both here in Belgium as well as around the world. Nowadays, it is undoubtedly the reference kriek for consumers.

  1. Blithering IdiotBarleywine – English

11.1% ABV 34 IBU Weyerbacher Brewing Company Easton, PA  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Blithering Idiot, 11.1% ABV, is brewed in the British tradition of balanced, hearty ales. It’s a deep-copper ale with notes of date and fig. The finish is warm and fruity and begs for the next sip. Enjoy Blithering Idiot in a brandy snifter or wine glass with full-flavored meats and cheeses or as an after dinner drink. This wonderful brew is available year-round. Lay a few down. Aging only helps a barleywine develop more complexity. This fine ale will keep for years. We feel comfortable setting our “Best By” date out to five years beyond the bottling date.

 

  1. SculpinIPA – American

7% ABV 70 IBU Ballast Point Brewing Company San Diego, CA  Rated 4.0 out of 5 on Untappd

The Sculpin IPA is a testament to our humble beginnings as Home Brew Mart. Founded in 1992, the Mart continues to be a catalyst for the San Diego brewing scene, setting the trend for handcrafted ales. Inspired by our customers, employees and brewers, the Sculpin IPA is bright with aromas of apricot, peach, mango and lemon. Its lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hops. This delicious Ballast Point Ale took a Bronze Medal at the 2007 Great American Beer Festival in the Pro Am category. The Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that can give a strong sting. Ironically, the meat from a Sculpin is considered some of the most tasty. Something that has a sting but tastes great, sounds like a Ballast Point India Pale Ale.

 

  1. MauditeBelgian Dubbel

8% ABV 22 IBU Unibroue Chambly, QC  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Maudite has a deep amber-red color with a rocky foam head and an appealing aroma of wild spices and floral hop notes. It is spicy, vinous, and deliciously complex with a crisp hop finish. The robust maltiness and spiciness of our amber-red ale is counterbalanced by an assertive hop finish, offering a distinctive flavor that is cognac-like in complexity.

 

  1. Aventinus Eisbock (TAP09)Bock – Eisbock

12% ABV 15 IBU Schneider Weisse G. Schneider & Sohn Kelheim, Bayern  Rated 3.75 out of 5 on Untappd

Magic and a black soul – the mahogany coloured, almost black “Eisbock” for sensuous indulgence, best served in a balloon glas. Matured in a special freezing process following a special recipe, with a soft, elegant body, but still intensive. Spicy flavours of plum, banana and clove reveal themselves along with a hint of bitter almond and marzipan. Tempting as digestif, to crepes, dark chocolate, Tiramisu and fully ripe parmesan cheese.

 

  1. La Fin du MondeBelgian Tripel

9% ABV 19 IBU Unibroue Chambly, QC  Rated 4.0 out of 5 on Untappd

The end of the world. The excellence of triple fermentation through a blend of special yeasts gives this malt beverage an exquisitely robust flavor of exceptional refinement. Brewed since February 1994
