Desithl Normal Pils






Desithl Normal Pils...$9.49 / 6pk cans
Named after our hometown, this light bodied lager celebrates the simplicity of rural Central Illinois, where the soil is rich, air is clean and crops are abundant. Brilliantly pale in color, this beer exhibits a pronounced, spicy, floral nose with a soft bready character. Flavors of sweet malt and earthy, floral hops come to the front before finishing crisp and dry, for a beer that is anything but normal.

97 Point Realm Cabernet



Realm has achieved Cult status even among a select group of highly regarded Napa Wineries. While we don't get much, we took all we could of the 2015 Realm The Bard knowing a great score was coming.
2015 Realm The Bard...$149.99
Blended of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2015 The Bard offers up a very deep garnet-purple color and highly perfumed scents of violets, dried Provence herbs, lavender and tapenade over a core of cassis and blackberry preserves. Full-bodied and loaded with perfumed black fruit layers, it has a solid frame of rounded, plush-textured tannins and a provocatively earthy finish.

2015 Substance "CS" Cabernet....$15.99
One of the best values I’ve tasted in a long time, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon from the team at K Vintners was hand-harvested, natively fermented and aged all in French oak. Smoking good notes of cassis, black currants and hints of plum all emerge from this rich, beautifully textured, layered beauty that has solid tannic grip, a silky, elegant texture and a great nish. It has real elegance and nesse and is a dark fruited, unctuous beauty to drink over the coming 3-4 years.”

Game of Thrones new beers





Game of Thrones Winter is Here Double White Ale....$8.99 /750ml
Winter is Here is brewed with pilsner malt, white wheat malt, and soft red wheat flakes, hopped with Saaz hops, and spiced with white pepper, sea salt, coriander and sweet orange peel. Brewery Ommegang’s house yeast is used in primary and secondary fermentation. This double white ale pours a hazy pale straw color with a stark white head. Aromas of banana, clove, and pronounced peppery phenols lead, and the flavor is slightly sweet malt, subtly balanced by hints of sea salt. Despite a full mouthfeel and healthy ABV, it still manages to drink quite lightly. The finish gradually builds in a warming crescendo of peppery spice.


Game of Thrones Gift Set...$19.99 / 2 beers and a glass
Includes the Winter is Here Ale and the Fire and Blood ale and a glass




Game of Thrones fans have been waiting for winter since the very first episode of the series debuted,” says Josh Goodstadt, Vice President of Global Licensing at HBO. “Now, thanks to this latest Game of Thrones beer, they’ll have the perfect brew to sip throughout the cold months that lie ahead. We can’t wait for fans to get their first taste of Winter is Here!”
Winter is Here is brewed with pilsner malt, white wheat malt, and soft red wheat flakes, hopped with Saaz hops, and spiced with white pepper, sea salt, coriander and sweet orange peel. Brewery Ommegang’s house yeast is used in primary and secondary fermentation. This double white ale pours a hazy pale straw color with a stark white head. Aromas of banana, clove, and pronounced peppery phenols lead, and the flavor is slightly sweet malt, subtly balanced by hints of sea salt. Despite a full mouthfeel and healthy ABV, it still manages to drink quite lightly. The finish gradually builds in a warming crescendo of peppery spice.

Fire and Blood was the third beer in the collaborative series, originally released in spring of 2014. It’s brewed with pilsner, spelt, rye, and other specialty malts, hopped with Styrian Golding and German Tettnang hops, and spiced with ancho chilies for additional complexity. The hue is deep, dark red with a persistent, creamy, off-white head. The aromas of ripe fruit, raisins, slight spice and malt mix nicely with a slight floral, spicy hop character. The flavor of sweet malt gives way to faint dryness and is balanced by spicy rye and hop flavors with underlying raisin and prune notes. The finish offers balanced malt and spicy characteristics from hops and rye. Fire and Blood is 6.8% ABV, and the label art features one of the original three labels, a fiery image of Daenerys Targaryen’s dragon, Drogon.

Ballast Point Mocha Marlin




Ballast Point Mocha Marlin...$4.49 / 22oz
Porter with Coffee and Chocolate
Coffee and chocolate come together in this brew.

Our Black Marlin Porter is the perfect beer for a mocha mashup. The addition of coffee and cocoa plays perfectly off the roasty, chocolaty flavors of this English porter, while a hint of vanilla smooths it all out. It’s full-bodied, but not too sweet; try it for breakfast…or dessert.

Bells Cherry Stout is back




Bell's Cherry Stout....$14.99 / 6pk
Tinted ruby-black, Cherry Stout gains its signature tartness from 100% Montmorency cherries grown in Michigan's Traverse City region. Rather than doubling up on sweetness, this tart cherry varietal serves as a counterpoint to the warm, dark chocolate notes from the malt bill. Lightly hopped for balance, this stout is one of the cornerstones of the Bell's stout portfolio.

2nd Shift Art of Neurosis IPA....$11.99 / 4pk 16oz CANS
AON is an Ipa that has everything you could want in one, if what you want is a hop sandwich. It's a 7.7% Simcoe and Columbus delight.
67 IBU






2nd Shift Brewing Little Big Hop Session IPA...$10.99 / 4pk 16oz Cans
4.9% ABV
We like drinking, but big beers can be overwhelming. We made Little Big Hop to provide a punch of hop aroma and flavor without killing your taste buds. This beer is stupid good -- Steve Crider



2nd Shift Brewing Brew Cocky Double IPA...$13.99 / 4pk 16oz Cans

Brew Cocky is another IPA I came up with that is brewed with loads and loads of Falconers Flight Hops that we use in an inappropriate, gratuitous manner and make them just explode in your face.  9.3%



2nd Shift Brewligans East Coast-Style IPA...$11.99 / 4pk 16oz Cans
A wonder to behold, with all the hop flavors and aromas and coming in at 6.5% abv. This East Coast-style IPA looks gross (Crider's words) but pops with citrus and tropical fruits in both the flavor and the aroma. Low bitterness makes this accessible and utterly drinkable.






2nd Shift Brewing Technical Ecstasy Czech Style Pilsner...$8.99 / 4pk 16oz cans
Brewed with Bohemian Pils malt and Saaz hops Technical Ecstasy pours a stunning hazy straw color with an enormous dense white head, the hallmark of a fresh Pilsner. The hops’ floral, slightly spicy aroma immediately lures you in. The medium-bodied mouth feel produces a soft, crackery maltiness immediately followed by spicy, slightly grassy notes.




2nd Shift Brewing Hibiscus Wit...$8.99 4pk 16oz Cans
Belgian Wit Bier
Heres what I've been goofin around with for a while. I love belgian wits on hot summer days (or freezin your butt off days). Anyway I took a witbier and threw in a bunch of hibiscus flowers to make it even better. Tart and refreshing, with a hint of fart.

Bells Arabicadabra Coffee Milk Stout

sold out

Limit 3 bottles per person
Bells Arabicadabra Coffee Milk Stout...$2.19 / 12oz
A little brewers' magic transforms locally roasted Arabica beans and a variety of specialty malts into a creamy, intense coffee stout. Enjoy before it disappears.

Arabicadabra is brewed with a cold coffee extract made at the brewery using a combination of fair trade, organic Nicaraguan coffee beans and Sumatra coffee beans. Lactose is also used for creaminess (those with dairy allergies or sensitivities should take note). It was inspired by Milchkaffe, another specialty Bell's beer.

Roland Lavantreux Chablis Vieille Vignes


2015 Roland Lavantreux Chablis Vieille Vignes...$25.99
The 2015 Chablis Vieilles Vignes comes from a 1.5-hectare parcel of 60-year-old vines and is raised in 60% stainless steel and 40% in three- to six-year old oak barrels. It has a really quite classy bouquet, with light honeyed scents that do not impede upon the mineral aromas that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is well balanced with fresh acidity, a slight saline bent toward the finish, with a detailed, animated and tensile finish that really is a joy. Superb.
Rated 91/100 The Wine Advocate

Boulevard Bundle Up Barleywine Ale




Boulevard Bundle Up Barleywine Ale...$11.99 / 750ml

Baby, it’s cold outside – come in and cozy up with our antidote to winter. Our first Barleywine, this big, bold beer features complex layers of caramel malt for an intense, warming presence. A liberal dose of spicy, piney American hops balances the blend, giving way to sweet, lingering notes of rum and raisin.

Robert Foley Cabernet Sauvignon




A 98 Point Cabernet for under $100
Robert Foley is a name that needs no introduction. He has made some of the best Napa Cabernet over the past two decades. We just received his 2013 Cabernet and it is a real stunner.
2013 Robert Foley Cabernet Sauvignon....
$86.99 
($78.29 mix a match case discount)
Equally impressive is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Atlas Peak and Calistoga. Opaque purple to the rim, with beautiful notes of charcoal embers, melted road tar, truffle, blackberry and cassis, this big, unctuously textured, full-bodied wine has incredible density and richness, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a phenomenal finish. It is young, but undeniably impressive. Give it another 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades-plus.
