Exciting Boulevard Tasting!
Thanks to Laura from Boulevard for the great event! We had a great turn out. Based on the number of glasses used, over 100 people attended to taste this great beer!
= DELICIOUS
Very special beer to taste only, there is none for sale. Laura from Boulevard was able to get a 1/6 barrel of this one out of the Bouelvard Tasting room.
Here is the description...
"Single Wide IPA fermented with Tank 7 yeast and dry hopped with Sorachi Ace Hops. Unique IPA bone dry, with a zesty aroma containing hints of fruit, mint and lemon with a long bitter finish."

St. Louis is awash in new breweries
More big news for St. Louis beer lovers...this news started to hit on twitter earlier in the week...and now we have confirmation from Evan Benn on stltoday.com
"St. Louis is awash in new breweries"
Evan Benn
"More breaking news in what's become a flurry of new-brewery announcements in St. Louis: Phil Wymore, head brewer for Half Acre Beer Co. in Chicago, is moving here next month to start a microbrewery.
Wymore's brewery will be called Perennial Artisan Ales, and it'll be a family affair: He'll brew, his wife will handle marketing and sales, and his father-in-law will help keep the books. Wymore is still scouting locations, but he tells me he hopes to begin buildout by the end of the year.
Alert craft-beer lovers were tipped off this week about Wymore's move from this post on Half Acre's blog, discussing what will be his final beer for the company -- a saison brewed with chamomile and lemon.
I fired off some questions to Wymore, 32, who grew up outside of Kansas City. Here's what he had to say:"

Great Divide 16th Anniversary
Just arrived at Forsyth!
Great Divide 16th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA...$8.29 / 22oz
"Based on our most award-winning beer, Denver Pale Ale, this copper-hued treat is a celebration of everything Great Divide does best. Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy, floral English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla. Thanks to everyone who's supported us for the last 16 years--here's to 16 more!" -- label

Rare 15 year old....
Available online
Follow up to the Redbreast 12yr old....
New to the states.....
There has been a lot of excitement about the new 15 year old and it is finally here...
Redbreast 15 year old....$64.99
Hot tip: Redbreast 15 yr. old
John Hansell, Whisky Experter
I feel that it’s my obligation to let you know when I find out about a great whiskey that’s not in the mainstream and will become increasingly more difficult to find. Redbreast 15 year old is one of those whiskeys.
Most Irish whiskey drinkers probably already know about Redbreast 12 year old pure pot still whiskey. It’s the only pure pot still whiskey (whiskey made from both malted and unmalted barley in pot stills) brand that is still on the market as a regular stock item throughout the world. (Sure there’s Green Spot, but it’s available in extremely limited quantities and not sold in the U.S.) Redbreast 12 year old is, in its own right, is a fantastic whiskey and not always easy to find.
So, if you love Irish whiskey, do your best to get a bottle. Even if you usually drink single malt scotch you should find a way to get a bottle, because I think you will enjoy it very much. What we really should do is start a worldwide petition to get Irish Distillers to make Redbreast 15 year old a regular stock item, along with Redbreast 12 year old.

Irish Whiskey of the Year
Winner: Redbreast 12 year old
Runners-Up: Bushmills 21 yr. old and Jameson 18 yr. old
Comment: If Redbreast 15 yr. old was available in the U.S., it would have trumped the 12 yr. old

Ska Brewing....
Catching up on some posting...
Ska Buster Nut Brown Ale....$7.99 / 6pk
Crazy good. We combined a high school murder-movie sense of logic with a whole bunch of hand-selected hops and malts and the result was mind-blowing. This Brown ale has a touch of nuttiness provided by our good friends Mr. and Mrs. Victory and Munich Malt. The addition of northern brewery, cascade, and Willamette hops smooth this beer out to create and incredibly drinkable brown ale." - Ska
Ska Nefarious Ten Pin Imperial Porter 22oz....$5.69
"Nobody bowls better sober. No on is suggesting you get drunk; merely stating the facts. Our extra strong imperial porter will make you better at bowling. King of the alley-this imperial porter reigns supreme, creamy, chocolaty sweet, with hints of coffee and bing cherry, the Nefarious is wickedly outrageous." -- Ska

New, rare liqueur
L'Espirit de June
L'Esprit de June® is a unique, rare liqueur crafted with the fleeting vine-flowers of Ugni Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and other grape varietals, blossoming for only a few days in June.
Delicate, yet intense, June is the only liqueur in the world made from a bouquet of vine flowers, each bringing specific flavors :
Ugni Blanc flowers provide pear, peach and white
floral notes.
Merlot flowers lend wild strawberry and
cherry-blossom aromas.
Cabernet Sauvignon flowers share
strawberry, raspberry and violet tones.
The use of other vine flowers such as Folle Blanche
and Sauvignon Blanc allows the master distiller to
guaranty Esprit de June's exquisite flavor profile year
after year despite the vintage effect.
