Telekinesis is a hoppy, tart, and smashable American wild ale fermented with a mixed culture of yeast and spontaneous microbes. Mosaic, Citra, and Falconer’s Flight hops contribute peachy, tropical hop character. Lightly toasted white oak spirals lend subtle tannin structure, while our no-boil process leaves a puckering hint of raw sourdough.

Style: Sour Peach Farmhouse Ale Conditioned on Oak
ABV: 5%
Generous with the flavor of ripe peaches, Rainbow in Curved Air is a sour peach farmhouse ale fermented with a mixed culture of yeast and lactobacillus.

Sierra Nevada Harvest Southern Hop







HARVEST FRESH HOP IPA - SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE HARVEST®
Fresh hops straight from the New Zealand fields.
2015 Sierra Nevada Harvest Southern Hop...$5.69 / 24 oz 
The harvest season for hops is a painfully short window—that precious time when the hops are bursting with intense aromatics. Luckily for us, harvest comes twice a year: once in each hemisphere. Southern Hemisphere features fresh New Zealand hops that are picked, dried, and shipped to our brewery within seven days. The result is a complex beer that showcases the floral and herbal flavors and aromas of Southern Cross, Pacifica, and Motueka hops. Southern Hemisphere is part of our five-bottle Harvest series which features single hop, fresh hop, wet hop, and wild hop beers.

Crispin aged in Red wine barrels



Crispin Venus Reigns....$7.99 / 22oz
The gift of the Golden Pear.
To distract the gods while he stole fire for mortal man, Prometheus threw a Golden Pear into the courtyard of Olympus with the inscription, “For the most beautiful goddess”.

This coveted pear was awarded to Venus, goddess of love, sensuality, and beauty. A goddess of nature, revered at springtime, the bringer of joy to gods and mortals.

Venus Reigns caresses your lips with purity and charm. A soaring achievement of elegance and simplicity. Colfax golden pear wine aged to full maturity in specially selected red wine casks, finished with a gentle kiss of honey.

Before pouring, give a solid bottoms-up tilt and swirl to disperse sediment evenly and best enjoy the complex aroma and bouquet.

Best enjoyed at cellar temperature, 50/55F. With or without 1or 2 ice cubes.

This is a very impressive red from Spain.  
2011 Clos Mont Blanc Xipella....$14.99
40% Monastrell, 30% Tempranillo and 30% Syrah
The Clos Montblanc Winery is located in Barberá de la Conca, very close to two symbolic locations in the history of Catalonia, Spain: the fortified town of Montblanc and the Monastery of Poblet. It is an area steeped in history and tradition. Here the French Cistercian monks settled, nearly a thousand years ago, with their firm goal of finding the way to winemaking perfection. It is an area with a rich, well-balanced soil which is grey and limy, full of variations, and the optimum natural qualities for viniculture. This is the essence of the Clos Montblanc cellar, a pride in the land which it belongs and a working system based on a thousand-year-old tradition. Along with its rich tradition, Clos Montblanc uses the latest methods in oenology to create wines that are outstanding with a unique complexity and depth of character.

Forsyth Cheese Feature: Cheese Curds


Ellsworth White Cheddar Cheese Curds 
Cheese curds are the freshest form of cheddar cheese. Cheese curds are regarded mainly as a regional delicacy, exclusive to Wisconsin and other areas of the upper Midwest.   Ellsworth White Cheddar Cheese Curds taste like no other because they come from 30,000 cows on 450 family farms in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Our farmer/producers are very fussy about quality and it shows in every fresh batch of Cheese Curds they produce.  That is why buyers from all over insist on only Real Ellsworth Cheese Curds.

Rock Hill Cheese Feature: Bucheron:


Rock Hill Cheese Feature: Bucheron:
Each store carries a different selection come check it out and ask for free taste. Everything is cut fresh to order.

Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese Bleu Gouda
Kenny Mattingly makes an unusual blue cheese: Bleu Gouda. Beginning with the same washed-curd recipe that gives Gouda it's smooth texture and mellow flavor, he adds blue mold culture. After several days he "needles" the cheese to allow air into the paste. While delicate interior veining is apparent, the cheese maintains it's Gouda sweetness and nutty qualities, blended with a slightly moist, tangy blue sharpness. The Bleu Gouda is an innovative adaptation to a traditional cheese using American creativity.
Perfect on its own, drizzled with Sweet Sophie Maple Syrup, or on salads.

Ballwin Cheese Feature: Bucheron

Covered in bloomy white mold, this aged, chalky goat's cheese slowly transforms during ripening. Edges become glossy and runny while center remains chalky until ripened. Full sharp flavor softens with age

94 Pointer for $26.99







2012 Troullier De-La Cotes Catalanes...$26.99
A new cuvee from Gilles, the 2012 Cotes Catalanes De-La (which translates to "Here and There") is sourced from 25-year-old Syrah vines and the granite soils of Lesquerde and Trevillach (which is right next to Boreal). It offers a gorgeous, Northern Rhône-like bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, violets, mint and liquid rock that flows to a medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless feel on the palate. Possessing first-rate purity, integrated acidity and ample, polished tannin, it will shine for over a decade.

Ommegang Joemmegang

In stock at Forsyth and Rock HIll


Ommegang Joemmegang...$13.99 / 750ml
We’re excited for you to try Joemmegang, the newest beer in our Brewmaster’s Obsession series. We think that it’s a perfect marriage of coffee, beer, and chocolate.

The beer begins as a malty brown ale, comprised of Belgian aroma, caramel malts, and oats. A bit of lactose adds body and some sweetness, and a heaping helping of cocoa nibs in the whirlpool provides further richness, and a deep chocolaty aroma. Hop aroma is nonexistent, and bitterness is there just to keep the sweetness in check.

We worked with our great friends at Stagecoach Coffee in Cooperstown to come up with a custom coffee blend that complimented our base beer. Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, and French roast form a combination with chocolate, earth, spice, fruit, and light roast characteristics. Following primary fermentation the beer is cold crashed and yeast is removed. Coffee is added to a secondary tank and the beer is circulated through the freshly roasted beans to extract even more flavor and aroma.

The result is really something special: aromas of cold brewed coffee, milk chocolate and rich malt – the taste follows, round, smooth and creamy, with a touch of sweetness.

Trevallon 2004 Vintage ! 11 years old!!




Yes 2004 vintage just released!
11 Years old!
2004 Domaine de Trevallon Bouches du Rhone...$59.99 
A gorgeous wine that's still youthful and vibrant, the 2004 Bouches du Rhone is an even split of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 2 years in a combination of foudre and barrel. Seamless, elegant and layered, with fabulous cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and spice, this full-bodied beauty is perfectly balanced, with no hard edges, fine tannin and terrific length. Drink nicely now, it has the concentration and balance to continue to evolve gracefully for at least another decade.

James Oliver Whiskeys!

We have a great price on these...



James Oliver Rye Whiskey...$25.99
100 proof
The first is James Oliver Rye Whiskey, a 100-proof product made from a mash of 100% rye grain and aged at least four years in oak barrels whose insides are so heavily charred that the technical term for their char level is "alligator skin char." The actual location of the distillery is a mystery, but the product is proofed and bottled in Oregon by Indio Spirits Distillery.   The resulting product retails in the high 20-dollar range, and exhibits some really nice spicy notes from the grain and roasted nutty characteristics contributed by the oak barrels. There are also buttery and peppery aspects to the rye that work very nicely in cocktails. James Oliver has become my most recent ingredient of choice for Manhattans in my home bar. It is available at most of the best liquor stores in town, although you might have to hunt for it since the small distillery doesn't market it as aggressively as the big boys. Don't expect to see a giant end-cap shelf with a tower of bottles to attract your attention. - Nashville Scene

The Premium Ginger Liqueur
The Big O is the most pleasing liqueur you will ever taste. It truly is artisan-made by people who appreciate fine food, excellent wine, a great liqueur, and good times. It blends the warmth of ginger and exotic spices, the sweetness of tropical sugars, the coolness of citrus, and the liberation of fine, artisan-crafted spirits.

The Big O is silky on the tongue, offering just a hint of a rising heat ― not too much, just a blush ― as the spices begin to reveal themselves, expressing their individual personalities and combined harmony. The tiny bite of alcohol raises your temperature just a bit - increasing your comfort. The combination of flavors then rests at the back of the tongue in a delightful kiss of spices, remembered pleasures.


When we make The Big O, we hand-select the spices we use, choosing the best all-natural botanicals available, so there truly is

Genesse Beer and Cream Ale are back!

In stock now at Forsyth

Genesee Beer....$18.99 / 30 pack CANS

Genesee Cream Ale...$5.69 / 6pk
There are only two original American beer styles.  We perfected one of them.
In the old days, there were ales and there were lagers. Ales were flavorful. Lagers were smooth. And never the twain did meet.
Until Genesee Cream Ale. And then the twain met head on to form an American Original with the flavor of an ale and the smoothness of a lager.
Cream Ale is unique. Then. Now. Always.
We skillfully warm-ferment Genesee Cream Ale with our own signature top-fermenting yeast.  During the aging process, every batch of Cream Ale is krausened to achieve an uncommonly smooth character.  The process results in Cream Ale’s remarkably creamy white head and a body that is far more distinguished than standard American lagers.
