O'Fallon Knotty Pretzel Beer



O'Fallon Knotty Pretzel Beer...$8.99 / 6pk
Our new Pretzel beer is a light Golden Ale with soft toasted bready notes and a touch of salt. A mix of malts were used to create the backbone for this beer. Red Wheat and Special Roast create the toasty flavor along with a subtle tanginess from the acidulated malt. The yeast helps to carry the soft tangy flavor and aroma giving way to a crisp and satisfying finish. Just a hint of hops and a pinch of salt combine to balance the malt profile.
Alcohol: 5.3% ABV

2016 Mount Veeder Cabernet

Yet another Classic California Cab getting some love for their 2016 Vintage. We have loved the offerings from Robert Mondavi, Hess Collection, Louis Martini Alexander Valley and a host of other “Old School” California Cabernets and Mount Veeder is no exception. While the press took some time to catch up. We are happy to have 20+ Cases of the 2016 Mount Veeder on hand, we knew it would get a great score eventually!



2016 Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon...$29.99
This displays a pure core of black cherry, cassis and plum puree flavors before the back end clamps down, revealing grippy tar and apple wood notes. Shows freshness and drive, with a pervasive sagebrush detail. Give this time to round into form. 
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator

Kulmbacher EKU 28



Kulmbacher EKU 28...$2.99 / pint CAN
Our legendary stout specialty EKU 28, an amber-hued, fiery double bock with a full-bodied malt aroma with 11% ABV is one of the strongest beers in the world. A genuine specialty among stouts.
EKU 28 - the Unique Stout Specialty from Bavaria.
Characteristic for our EKU 28 stout is mainly the high portion of original wort. This leads at the same time also to a higher alcohol content, because during the fermentation process the yeast converts the sugar dissolved in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Thus due to the very high wort content, the alcohol content is also much higher. That's why EKU 28 has always belonged to the special, legendary type of stouts and is one of the strongest beers in the world.

New Mahr's CANS


NEW CANS


Mahr's Brau Helles Vollbier...$2.69 / 11.2oz can
Beer sensory characteristics: A creamy, compact head crowns the glass. Brilliant, delicately pearled with bubbles, and golden yellow; it captivates the eye of the true connoisseur. The aroma is lightly reminiscent of flowering hops. The body is pure, mild, discretely aromatic, coupled with a slight sweetness. The finish is soft, with a hint of maltiness. A lager that awakens the desire to drink it again and again. Mahrs Bräu Hell pairing recommendation: to cooked or fried fish dishes, salads, mild cheeses, stews
Mahrs Bräu Hell pairing recommendation: to cooked or fried fish dishes, salads, mild cheeses, stews




Mahr's Brau "U" Ungespundet Kellerbier...$2.69 / 11.2oz can
After “A” comes “U”
The “U” stands for “Ungespundet”, which means unfiltered and outrageously good. Simply pronounced, “Ahh Ooo”, like the two vowels, means you would like a U beer. No language skills required, and you finally have a great beer that doesn’t take a long time to order. What comes to your table, if one orders a U? You’ll get an extraordinary, yeast-turbid specialty beer with a full-bodied smooth-malt character. Pleasantly tart and lightly carbonated, it is a beer that goes just as well with a good meal as it does with a relaxing evening after work. Did somebody say, “cult beer”? Yeah, why not. That’s fine with us. Sure, you could always say “one” U. But experience has taught us that that’s rarely the case.

Mahrs Bräu U beer pairing recommendation: with cold cut platters, Eisbein/Haxen, hearty dishes with dark meat.

Quinta de Lemos Touriga Nacional -- 94 points!




2011 Quinta de Lemos Touriga Nacional...$34.99
The lowest price on Wine-Searcher is $39
The 2011 Touriga Nacional was aged in 30% new French oak for 18 months. It comes in at 14% alcohol. A terrific Touriga, this focused red is precise, elegant and rather powerful just at the moment. It took a long time to get some Touriga aromatics, but they slowly emerged. The tannins are not really hard, but the wine is not yet expressive. Showing structure meant for the long haul, this is nowhere close to peak. It should have many miles to travel. In the meanwhile, you might approach it, but that would be a mistake. It isn't all it can be now, or anywhere close. Its peak should be more like 2021-2025. Still, the price is so reasonable, you can buy a case and experiment. I suspect this remarkably graceful, yet intense Touriga will turn into something different and better every few years for the next couple of decades. Drink Date 2018 - 2036Rated 94/100 The Wine Advocate
