New beer and liqueur.



Just arrived

Avery Samaels Oak Aged Ale
Very limited!!
Beer Style: Oak Aged English Strong (a whopping 15.53% alcohol)
"Samael's Ale is a super-caramelly, oak aged English-style strong ale. Perhaps the least hoppy (sacrilege here at Avery!!) beer we’ve brewed, to accentuate the malt. The oak is very apparent in this rich and high gravity ale, adding additional depth and complexity with a woody and cask-like nose and a pronounced vanilla flavor on the palate. "

Great Divide Samurai Ale

"Looking for something a little different? Brewed with rice and barley malts, Samurai is an easy drinking, unfiltered ale that changes the status quo for unfiltered beers. The addition of rice gives Samurai a slightly fruity, crisp, refreshing and clean taste. This is definitely not your everyday unfiltered beer. Alcohol by Volume: 5.1%
Suggested food pairings:
Seared tuna encrusted with sesame seeds
Lo Mien
Humboldt Fog - a soft, goats milk cheese from California
Nacho's or any other bar snacks needing a quaffable beer" -- brewery

Grande Absente "Absinthe Originale"

(this is our second "REAL" Absinthe, Lucid being the first)
"The Absinthe Originale recipe with wormwood is back!
In the late 19th century during the Belle Époque era in Paris, the renowned Absinthe culture was at its height of infamy. Absinthe was the trademark drink of artists like Degas, Manet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Oscar Wilde. To recall this glorious time, Grande Absente, Absinthe Originale is one of the oldest traditional Absinthe recipes from the south of France. Hand crafted in Provence like it was from 1860-1912, Grande Absente is made exclusively with the highest quality spirits and select botanicals from the region, including the legendary botanical Wormwood, also known as Artemisia Absinthium. Grande Absente is 138 proof so please drink with extreme caution!" -- Distiller

There is some debate as to whether Grande Absente is REAL absinthe since it has added sugar in it and is designated a liqueur. No matter, and as my blog states, there are many more real absinthes coming (around 25 at the last count).

Thanks for the input, they claim it to be real, I will check out your website (I don't claim to be an expert). The next "real" Absinthe coming to St. Louis is the Mata Hari.

I actually heard that there are 26 coming and not the 25 that Alan has mentioned. Get it right Alan.
