Growler Board updated



The Bruery Mash and Vanilla
This is our classic bourbon barrel-aged barleywine – kicked up a notch. We took Mash, already oaky, sticky and sweet, and amplified its barrel character with the addition of fresh vanilla beans. This vanilla prominence is complemented by the woody bourbon flavors and coconut notes that are imparted to the beer as part of its extensive maturation in oak bourbon barrels. Mash & Vanilla is best enjoyed fresh to experience the vanilla flavors at peak strength.

4 Hands Bonafide Stout
"Bona Fide Imperial Stout is a collaborative effort with Goshen Coffee Company, a local fair trade coffee roaster. Bona Fide pours black as night with a smooth velvety mouthfeel. Aromas of espresso, dark chocolate, roasted malt, with nuances of vanilla. Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years."

Founders Barrel Aged Lizard of Koz Stout

JUST ADDED!!
Founders Barrel Aged Lizard of Koz Stout
Imperial Stout with Blueberries, Chocolate and Vanilla aged in Bourbon Barrels
This one is near and dear to our hearts. Brewmaster Jeremy Kosmicki wanted to make the birthday of his little sister, Liz, a special one. So he did what he does best and brewed a stout using a few of her favorite ingredients: fresh Michigan blueberries, rich chocolate and vanilla aged in bourbon barrels to round out those beautiful flavors. Liz was floored and we think you will be too.

A layer of steel cut oats added to the top of the mash tank slowly sink throughout the 3 week mash fermentation and adds a rounded out baked like feel on the pallet. The addition of lemon, rosemary, and several other spices to the mash give MOVADOS a finish that is completely unique and absolutely delicious. It is then aged for a minimum of 8 months to a year to reach its full flavor profile.

More 2014 Carlisle




2015 Carlisle The Derivative Blanc....$29.99
The 128-year-old Semillon was partially barrel fermented in neutral oak while the remainder was done in stainless steel.  Tasting Note: An inviting fresh and spicy nose, exhibiting key lime, balsa, honeysuckle and macaroon scents. More lithe and harmonious on the palate than previous vintages, with less oak influence. The acidity is in check, while the Semillon provides a slightly oily character, married with the green apple, melon, preserved lemon and white grapefruit influences. A touch of toast and gingerbread on the finish. This wine is a lovely sipper and should complement cheese plates, seafood, and light pasta dishes in particular. A singular and distinctive white. Drink 2017 – 2020

2012 Carlisle The Derivative White...$29.99
54% Semillon, Monte Rosso Vineyard
30% Muscadelle, Pagani Ranch
16% Palomino, Saitone RanchOnly 316 cases made
This unusual blend combines old-vine Sémillon from the Monte Rosso Vineyard with Muscadelle and Palomino. Voluptuous on the nose, the wine is restrained on the palate, with inviting layers of licorice, beeswax and stone fruit. Exotic and long lasting, it’s an intriguing wine.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Enthusiast



2014 Carlisle Zinfandel Bedrock Vineyard....$47.99
The 2014 Zinfandel Bedrock Vineyard emerges from one of the warmer sites Carlisle works with. All of that intensity comes through in a big, dramatic wine endowed with serious presence, intensity and tannic heft. Black cherries, menthol, tar, licorice and smoke hit the palate in a big wine that shows the virile side of Zinfandel. The Bedrock is not especially polished, subtle or refined, but it sure is distinctive.
Rated 92-94/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Rated 91-93/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate



2014 Carlisle Zinfandel Papera Ranch...$47.99
I’ll just briefly summarize the 2014s....The production levels were relatively abundant for Mike Officer and the wines fruit-forward, although softer and less reserved than some of the 2013s. While not quite as opaque in color, they are loaded with fruit, supple and luscious.  The other wines all stood out and will, no doubt, merit outstanding ratings across the board for their intensity, richness, and full-bodied power. If you already know what Mike Officer does, and the style of his wines, you won’t be disappointed in his 2014s. You may even like them as much as any vintage, given the fact that this year shows a lot of up-front fruit and charm.
Rated 91-93/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate


2014 Carlisle Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard...$47.99
The 2014 Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard is wonderfully complete. Deep, dark and layered, the 2014 exudes pedigree from the very first taste. Seamless and polished, with striking depth, the Carilsle is a terrific example of Zinfandel from the Piner-Olivet district of the Russian River Valley. As always, the Carlisle is most accurately described as a field blend, given that there are approximately 39 other varieties interspersed among the Zinfandel.

2014 Carlisle Russian River Valley Two Acres...$45.99
"A powerful nose of Christmas spices, burnt caramel, charcuterie and plum. Truly inviting. The palate provides a deep, round plummy note that speaks profoundly of Mourvèdre before the mixed black varieties introduce themselves with a richness and velvety texture on the tongue, adding dimension and depth. Elements to the finish include tar, Asian 5 Spice, citrus pith and cinnamon stick. Luxuriously textured. A lovely wine, especially for those who harbor an appreciation for the greatness of Mourvèdre. Drink or hold – you won’t regret the decision. Drink 2018 – 2030" -- winery

The Bruery

All back in stock -- not all of them are online yet though.


All are in stock now at Forsyth

The Bruery Melange No 14...$19.99 / 750ml
Our Mélange series is a chance to roll out the barrels, roll up our sleeves and explore flavors that cannot be achieved outside of the art of the blend or by any one beer. French for “blend”, this mélange fuses the mature character of some of our most vintage barrels of barleywine and old ale with the dark depth of our imperial stouts, including both Tuesday-themed releases and Share This. This mélange is one for all, with rich, complex notes and the signature kiss of oak.


The Bruery Terreux Tart of Darkness....$16.99 / 750ml
Tart of Darkness is a sour stout that we aged in used oak barrels that previously housed beers such as Sucré™ or Black Tuesday®. The result is a perfectly tart yet awesomely dark and roasty sour stout. This very special edition has an addition of tart cherries and sweet vanilla beans. The additional cherries help bring the fruit character of the Belgian-style yeast to the forefront while the vanilla matches flawlessly with the burnt roastiness of the malt.


The Bruery 9 Ladies Dancing....$9.49 / 750ml
Here’s a pick me up for the latest verse in our Twelve Days of Christmas series. Inspired by flavors and ingredients found in tiramisu, including ladyfingers, 9 Ladies Dancing mimics the Italian dessert by whipping together flavor combinations and layers of its own. This includes notes of vanilla, chocolate and coffee – clearly the leading ladies in this rich, dessert-like beer.



The Bruery Jardinier...$6.99 / 750ml
Jardinier, which is French for “gardener,” was inspired by the fresh, sessionable beers so often found on the Belgian dinner table. Bright and flavorful with an assertive hop character, Jardinier is a perfect beer for any occasion, casual or ornate.
Pronounced: jhar-dee-nyier


The Bruery Mischief...$7.99 / 750ml
Mischief is a hoppy Belgian-style golden ale. This wickedly good golden ale is fiendishly dry-hopped with American hops to add a layer of complexity and mystery to its fruity, dry Belgian-style character. Citrus and resin diabolically combine with ripe melon, pear and slight peppery spice in a precariously effervescent mixture. Enjoy it, but you’ll want to keep an eye out. Gold Medal – 2016 Great American Beer Festival, American-Belgo-Style Ale.



The Bruery Trade Winds....$7.99 / 750ml
Our Summer seasonal, Trade Winds Tripel is a Belgian-style Golden Ale with a Southeast Asian twist. Instead of using candi sugar (typical for such a beer), we use rice in the mash to lighten the body and increase the gravity, and spice with Thai Basil. The result is an aromatic, digestible and complex beer made for a lazy summer evening.

The Bruery White Oak....$12.99 / 750ml
White Oak is a hardy, blended wheatwine-style ale, grafting elements reminiscent of caramel, vanilla, coconut and warm oak with the creamy complexity of wheat. Crisp effervescence spirals around sweet bourbon barrel-aged layers, expanding into a refreshingly robust ale.


The Bruery Poterie 2016 Anniversary....$23.99 / 750ml
Poterie is French for “pottery”, the traditional eight-year anniversary gift. Our eighth anniversary ale, Poterie, follows in the footsteps of our anniversary releases before it, which are loosely based on an English-style old ale, fermented with our house yeast strain and then blended using the solera method. This means that a portion of each anniversary ale is saved in oak barrels and blended in with the next year’s production, providing more complexity and depth of character as the years go by. The result is layered in robust and complex flavors of toffee, caramel, dark fruit, vanilla and oak. Poterie will age gracefully for decades when cellared properly.



The Bruery Terreux Sour in Rye....$16.99 / 750ml
We’ve all come to know and love our barrel-aged sour rye ale, Sour in the Rye. Now it’s time to enjoy a bright variation of it that has kumquats added to the mix. Not only is “kumquat” one of the most fun fruit names to roll off the tongue, it also treats the entire palate to a unique display of fruity characteristics. The tart, sweet, citrus and tropical notes of both the kumquats and tangerine zest strike a balance with the honey, vanilla and woody character imparted from barrel-aging. At the same time, the unique bitterness of the citrus fruit locks step with the clove and pepper notes imparted from the rye. It’s a combination that’s hard to define (like a kumquat), but after you’ve had your first taste, you’ll be rewarded with tangy clarity.


The Bruery Terreux Rueuze.....$16.99 / 750ml
Rueuze is our take on the traditional Belgian-style blend of lambics of different ages. We carefully select a number of oak barrels from our warehouse that have been aging our sour blonde ale for anywhere from several months to several years and blend the beers together to what we find to be the ideal flavor. This is one complex beer. Notes of hay, barnyard funk, apricots and olives play wonderfully with the balanced acidity.



The Bruery Terreux Beret...$12.99 / 750ml
Beret is as artistic as those who wear its namesake cap. Our brewers developed a silky, full-bodied wheat ale which we began fermenting with a Belgian-style witbier yeast strain. To finish the fermentation, we added our collection of barnyard bacteria, intended to slowly sour the ale, bringing out a slight funk and refreshing piquancy. Finally, a small dose of pureed raspberries were added for just a hint of fruity tannins, putting the berry in Beret.

The Bruery Terreax Oude Tart....$16.99 / 750ml
Oude Tart is a Flemish-Style Red Ale aged in red wine barrels. It’s pleasantly sour with hints of leather, dark fruit and toasty oak. While this is one of the more classic beer styles that we make, it’s not a style that you can find too often in the United States. Originating in style from the Flanders region of Belgium, near the French boarder, this dark, sour ale has roots deep in brewing history and predates most of the ales that have become popular in contemporary culture. We’re doing our best to keep the tradition alive by brewing and aging this beer here on the west coast.


The Bruery Terreux Hottenroth Berliner Weisse.....$6.99 / 750ml
Hottenroth Berliner Weisse is brewed in memory of Fred & Sarah Hottenroth, Patrick’s grandparents. This tart, German-style Berliner Weisse is as authentic as it gets. We use lactobacillus and a hint of brettanomyces to sour this very unusual, low gravity wheat beer. To cut the tartness for those with sweeter tastes, raspberry or woodruff syrup is a traditional way to sweeten the beer. Almost an extinct style, we hope to help revive the Berliner Weisse in memory of two great people.


The Bruery Terreux Saison Rue...$9.99 / 750ml
Saison Rue is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned, Belgian/French-style farmhouse ale. This is a beer of subtlety and complexity, with malted rye, spicy, fruity yeast notes, biscuit-like malt backbone and a slight citrus hop character. With age, this beer will dry out and will become more complex with rustic notes of leather and earth from the contribution of a wild yeast strain. Being a saison, Saison Rue is ambiguous unto itself as it is a different beer when fresh and when aged.







SOLD OUT
The Bruery Autumn Maple....$9.49 / 750ml
Brewed with 15 lbs. of yams per barrel (in other words, a lot of yams!), this autumn seasonal is a different take on the “pumpkin” beer style. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses, maple syrup, and fermentation with our traditional Belgian yeast strain, make this bold and spicy beer perfect for a cold autumn evening.
We have also created bourbon barrel aged, 100% brettanomyces and soured versions of Autumn Maple.

Very Limited!

2013 Cayuse Syrah Cailloux Vineyard Walla Walla...$95.99
Broad and expressive, playing the cherry, raspberry and pear notes against fine tannins. Picks up tobacco, tar and mineral notes as the finish sails on. Has terrific presence without weight. Drink now through 2025. 846 cases made. 
Rated 96/100 The Wine Spectator
From the oldest vineyard in the Stones (Christophe calls it The Stones, not The Rocks), the transparent ruby colored 2013 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard incorporates 5% co-fermented Viognier and has a distinct saltiness, as well as classic Cayuse notes of peat moss, mushrooms, iodine, and sweet cherry and currant fruit. While gamey and a touch backwards right on opening, it blossomed with time in the glass and can be enjoyed today with a decant, or cellared for a decade or more.

Silly Burgundy Barrel Aged Scotch Ale


Aged in Nuits St. Georges Barrels

Silly Burgundy Barrel Aged Scotch Ale....$13.99 / 750ml
Limited Edition
ABV: 9.50%
Each year Brasserie de Silly takes their famous Scotch Silly brand and ages it in a different style barrel. 2016 features Scotch Silly aged in Burgundy Barrels from the Nuits-Saint-George region of France . This deep dark colored scotch ale is a perfect blend of caramelized malt and candied sugar from the mother beer with the flavor coming from the Burgundy barrel to produce a brew that explodes with flavor.

Piraat Rum Barrel Aged Special Reserve

In stock now at Forsyth
Piraat Rum Barrel Aged Special Reserve...$17.99 / 750ml
ABV:  10.50%

Brewed in honor of the original seafarers of the 19th century, Piraat Ale seemed destined to be aged in Rum barrels. The Belgian classic and perennial gold medal winner is aged in barrels for the first time since it’s inception. At 10.5% ABV the beer has a large malt profile which produces flavors of country bread and dried fruits. Due to secondary fermentation in the bottle, Piraat has always been regarded as one of smoothest strong golden ales ever brewed. By aging it in rum barrels the beer picks up vanilla accents, which further rounds out the beer without overpowering the spicy quality which has made Piraat famous.

Crane Brewing Gooseberry Gose



Crane Brewing Gooseberry Gose...$9.99 / 750ml
English folklore speaks of a fairy, the Gooseberry Wife, who takes the shape of a hairy caterpillar and guards the tart fruit from the greedy hands of children. Not even a creepy caterpillar could keep us from adding this deliciously sour berry to our deliciously tart and salty gose. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep an eye out for her when picking up your bottle.



Crane Brewing Kumquat Berliner Style Weiss...$9.99 


Like origami, bonsai is an ancient tradition of Japan that promotes careful contemplation.  Through gradual growth and cultivation of a small branching tree, such as the native kumquat, reflection may take place.  We view our small craft brewery the same way, aimed at careful cultivation of craft beer flavor and culture.  We will always be willing to trim back branches that may reach too far and too fast to preserve the quality of what grows.  Please take a moment, while you drink this citursy tart beer, to quietly reflect on growth, preservations and life.





Crane Brewing Tea Weiss....$9.99 / 750ml
4.1% ABVA distinctly American take on an old-world German ale, Tea Weiss combines Kansas City’s own Hugo Berry Rooibos Tea with a spritzy, sour wheat beer to exceedingly refreshing effect.

Southern Tier 2X Double Milk Stout

Southern Tier 2X Double Milk Stout...$9.99 / 6pk
"Milk stout, also called ‘cream’ or ‘sweet’ stout, is a stout containing lactose, a sugar derived from milk. Because lactose is unfermentable by beer yeast, it adds sweetness and body to the finished beer. Milk stouts have been claimed to be nutritious, and were marketed as such in the early 1900s with claims that would make the FDA wince. One ad read, “Ideal for nursing mothers, for the
healthy, for the invalid, and for the worker.” Surely! Of course, we couldn’t stop at a traditional milk stout. Ours is a double, an addition to our 2X line, and at 7.5% abv is every bit as delicious as it sounds. To your health!" - Southern Tier

Southern Tier Creme Brulee



Southern Tier Creme Brulee...$16.99 / 4pk

"crème brûlée Imperial Milk Stout -- “a stout of great contention”
We are not the harbingers of truth as some may suggest but it may indeed be argued that our brewing philosophy is tantamount to a dessert with a bellicose past. How, you may ask, would a brewery determine a likeness to hard-coated custard? Our response is simple; it’s all in the power of history, and of course, the extra finesse needed to top off a contentious treat with definition. By comprehending the labyrinthine movement of time, one would not think it strange to trace the errant path of an ordinary object such as a cream dessert only to discover that it has been the cause of cultural disputes since the middle ages. The British founders of burnt cream and from Spain, crema catalana, both stand by their creative originality and we respect that, but it was the French Crème Brûlée, amid the strife of contention, that survived to represent our deliciously creamy brew." -- brewery

Rare Release Barrel Series. Which is our series of Rare Releases of exceptional quality.
This is StilL 630 in a bottle.  Unfiltered and uncut, the intense rye, sweet caramel and rich oak flavors of this barrel strength whiskey proclaim the triumphant return of the ACSA "2016 BEST IN CLASS - WHISKEY".  Batch II was aged 34 months 53 gallon barrel and then finished for 9 more months in 15 gallon barrels.

Here is info from Batch #1
We knew Double Barrel was good, but the American Craft Spirits Association’s judges just awarded it a GOLD medal! AND then went further by naming it “Best of Category – RYE WHISKEY”!! Which was insane. They thought it was the BEST rye whiskey in the entire country!!

But then it got ridiculous… The blind and impartial judges named it “BEST IN CLASS – WHISKEY”! We cannot stress enough what a prestigious honor this is and how incredibly flattered we are! So if you were smart enough to get a bottle before they sold out, enjoy the Best Craft Whiskey in America!
