Elijah Craig 23 Year Old Bourbon + Parker's Heritage





Drawing is done, we will be contacting people about 11 today.
The raffle method is a lot more work for us, but we feel it is the fairest way.  We will draw names for these Bourbons.
Elijah Craig 23 Year Old Bourbon...$189.99
Elijah Craig Barrel Strength 
Parker's Heritage Wheat Whiskey...$79.99

The raffle method on these limited bourbons seems to be the fairest method for our customers.  
 We appreciate your business and respect our customers enthusiasm in trying to get these rare bottles.   We are not limiting the number of people that can enter.  That way if you are out of town, or cannot race to the store right now, you will not be left out.  You have just as much chance if you sign up on the last day as you do on the first day.  Thanks again.  Any questions or comments do not hesitate.


Two ways to get raffle tickets

  1. Everyone can get one FREE entry in the lottery.  You must come to one of our four stores to sign up for your free raffle ticket.
  2. But we want to also reward all of our regulars that come in the store each week to get Bourbon.  So you can get extra entries in the lottery and increase your chances.  For each bottle of Bourbon you purchase from the list below you get another raffle ticket for the lottery.   No limit.  


  3. We feel this is the fairest way as it allows everyone to enter, but rewards loyal regulars.

Bells 2014 Stout releases

UPDATE: Bells Stouts arrive next week including the Expedition!  
We will have online reservations when they arrive.

Bells Expedition Stout 
10.5% ABV
One of the earliest examples of the Russian Imperial Stout in the United States, Bell's Expedition Stout offers immensely complex flavors crafted specifically with vintage aging in mind, as its profile will continue to mature and develop over the years. A huge malt body is matched to a heady blend of chocolate, dark fruits, and other aromas. Intensely bitter in its early months, the flavors will slowly meld and grow in depth as the beer ages


Anchor 2014 Christmas Ale



2014 Anchor Holiday Ale...$15.99 / MAGNUM
2014 Anchor Holiday Ale....$10.99 / 6pk

Odell Montage with Gramps Oatmeal Stout



Odell Montage 12 pack
Includes a special beer only in this 12 pack
Odell Gramps Oatmeal Stout

We love it when the days get shorter, because it means happy hour comes quicker. We’ve handpicked three of our favorite warmers for the season, plus we’ve tucked inside our latest Roots Release beer — a limited release beer inspired by our five-barrel pilot system. Typically available only in our Ft. Collins taproom, these pilot brews are experimental, one of-a-kind and as short-lived as the season itself.. Inspired by our small-batch pilot system, the Roots Release series honors our experimental brewing roots and invites you to sample some of our favorites. Flaked oats and roasted malts give Gramps a full body and creamy smooth mouthfeel. Hints of chocolate, coffee and cream combine for a complex yet familiar taste of breakfast back home.

rumpkin_140x500
Avery Rumpkin....$11.99 / 12oz
Beer Style: Barrel-Aged Pumpkin Ale
Barrel Type and Time: Dark Rum Barrels, 6 months
Malt Variety: Aromatic, Honey Malt… and Pumpkins!
OG: 1.135 ABV: 15-18% Color: Deep Amber
We wondered what would happen if a monstrous pumpkin ale, plump full of spicy gourdiness, were aged in fine fresh rum barrels to add suggestions of delicate oak and candied molasses. Rumpkin is what happened! This first member of the Annual Barrel-Aged Series was brewed with roasted pumpkins from a local Boulder County farm, and spiced with nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.

Coming soon - some Barrel Aged LSD

A little bird told me that these should that these are being bottled early next week!
Stay tuned!






For the release, we will do a combination on the BRC.   Some will be released to the top 2nd Shift supporters and some will be released to the overall top supporters in BRC.  I will probably do something like the top ten 2nd Shift supporters and the top 10 overall supporters will get to purchase 2 bottles each and then 1 bottle per person down the list.  Not set in stone, but something similar.  
The 2nd Shift supporters will be based on the start date of July 1st until the release date.  

We have lots of good 2nd Shift Beers in stock now!
Fresh AON should arrive next week too.

That time of year when the day seems to fade away. Drifting further into the darkness with each passing day. Volume 1 – Foreign Stout – Pours black with licorice, espresso bean, molasses, and black cardamom notes that give way to a feeling of self loathing, burnt opportunities and smoked relationships.

Curcurbita is a stout brewed with pumpkin and spices and soured with Lactobacilus.  It is malty and tart.  Aged for 12 months, this beer is a long time coming but well wroth the wait.

Jefferson TWCP Ocean Bourbon Voyage No. 3




Very little is made.  We got our one barrel - only 216 bottles made in The Wine and Cheese Place Barrel No. 21

Jefferson's Ocean TWCP Voyage No.3....$69.99
Only 216 bottles produced
Barrel No. 21 produced exclusively for The Wine and Cheese Place

Jefferson’s Ocean: Aged at Sea -Inspired by the original Jefferson’s Ocean, which was new-filled bourbon barrels, the Jefferson’s Ocean: Aged at Sea takes older bourbon barrels and brings it around the world. Stopping in 5 different continents and crossing the equator 4 times, this bourbon truly is a world beater.

What began as a fun experiment has resulted in a more scientific approach to the maturation process of bourbon.  When whiskey was first distilled in Kentucky, it received intentional extra age from travelling on rivers and seas en route to market.  This was not just due to lengthy trips but also the movement of the ship which forced the liquid  in whiskey barrels to be in constant motion coming in contact wit the wood more often.  At Jefferson's we wanted to tip our hat to this tradition by aging bourbon at sea.  We put fully matured Kentucky Bourbon on a ship and set it on its way to crossing the equator 4 times, stopping at 5 continents and over 30 different ports.  This process has added a salty, caramel elements that round out the bourbon's profile to create an American treasure that has been cultured as traveled by the globe.

Take a look at the ports that our barrel stopped and visited....

New - Limited Compass Box The Blost Blend

We scored 24 more bottles - back in stock!



Compass Box The Lost Blend Blended Malt Scotch Whisky...$91.99
"Distilled elixir of battle, money
and high life!"
The Lost Blend, O. Henry (1907)
This new Limited Edition is a homage to our own ‘lost blend’ - Eleuthera - our first ever single malt blend that we sadly had to retire in 2004. It is also inspired by a short story written by O. Henry in 1907 “The Lost Blend” about life in a New York bar featuring two business partners who try to recreate a blend of spirits with close to supernatural properties. The Lost Blend is - if you will - our attempt to create a magical combination of whiskies, in the style of our lost Eleuthera. The result is this elegantly complex union of two fruity Highland single malts and a peaty Islay single malt. It will once again be lost after these 12018 bottles.

Schlafly Schwarzbier in CANS

In stock at Forsyth now

Schlafly Sessions Black Lager...$6.99 / CANS


ABV: 5.0% | IBU: 25 
APPEARANCE: Black
PROCESS: Traditional Lager
HOPS: Mittelfruh, Tettnang (DE), Marynka (PL)
GRAINS: Pale, Europils, Munich, Chocolate, Caramel
YEAST: German Lager

Sessions Black Lager is a traditional German Schwarzbier with a refreshingly light body. The dark chocolate malts contribute color and hints of roasted coffee balanced by the delicate aroma of German Noble hops. Translated from German, Schwarzbier means black beer.

Schwarzbier originated in the 16th Century in southeastern Germany where it is still brewed today. The style enjoyed a heyday in St. Louis in the late 1800s, but large scale production of dark lagers failed to resurface after Prohibition. In 2007, the beer community of St. Louis honored St. Louis Dark Lager as the official beer of the inaugural St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival, an annual tasting event that celebrates the many breweries thriving in St. Louis today.

Amador Hop Whiskey...$89.99 / 750ml
