Celebration Beers

What better way to celebrate the New Year in than with a big sharing bottle? We currently have a wide range of big sharers.

Wild Beer Shnoodlepip, Saison, 6.5% ABV
A collaboration of three brewers, three nationalities and six ideas brought together to learn, experiment and enjoy. Made by Kelly Ryan from Good George Beer in NZ, Brett Ellis (originally from the US) from the Wild Beer Co, and Mark Tranter from Burning Sky Brewery. This beer explores new ideas, techniques, ingredients, combinations and processes.

This beer is full bodied, with a gentle sweet spiciness, a dry depth with oak undertones, and tropical fruit character, all finished off with tangy hibiscus flowers.

Wild Beer Summer Blend, Gueuze, 4.7% ABV
Inspired by Belgian Gueuze, this is quite possibly the definitive beer of the Wild Beer journey, blending a wide variety of their barrel aged sours including some of the first sour they ever made.

Burning Sky Saison Anniversaire, Saison, 6.2% ABV
Saison Anniversaire is a celebration of everything Burning Sky love about saisons. Lightly spiced in the boil, this special edition beer was fermented and aged entirely in French Chardonnay barriques using Burning Sky’s house saison and a blend of wild yeast strains.

Sam Adams Tetravis, Belgian Quadrupel, 10.2% ABV
This beer’s deep complexity begins with a molasses sweetness, with notes of dark dried fruits such as raisin and fig, and develop further with an undercurrent of tart spice from its distinctive Belgian yeast for a truly transfixing brew.

Mikkeller/Lindemans SpontanBasil, Gueze, 6% ABV
SpontanBasil combines the sourness of a Belgian lambic with the aromas and flavours of fresh basil. It has a complex, tart and well-balanced taste with a pleasant, crisp, dry finish.

Thornbridge/Brooklyn Serpent, Wild Ale, 9.5% ABV
Serpent is the first beer of its kind. The brewers went to Oliver’s Cider in Hereford seeking their lees, the natural wild yeasts that ferment their apples into great traditional ciders. They brewed a robust Belgian-inspired golden ale at Thornbridge in Derbyshire, added the lees in barrels, aged the beer for more than a year, and bottle conditioned it. Now Serpent emerges dry, tart, firm, fine and funky, a full expression of the friendship between these two breweries, great British brewing, American boldness, and Herefordshire countryside.

Blaugies/Hill Farmstead La Vermontoise, Saison, 6% ABV
A collaboration between Brasserie de Blaugies, a small family run Belgian brewery, located close to the border with France, and the brilliant Hill Farmstead from Vermont. A spelt saison (Saison d’Epeautre) with American hops (Amarillo).

Stone Old Guardian 2016 release, Barley Wine, 11% ABV
From time to time, Stone like to tweak the recipes of some of their most long-standing beers—like Stone Old Guardian Barley Wine—to create unique variations. This year they’ve taken it to the next level by dry-hopping it with Pekko hops—a new varietal from Washington’s Yakima Valley—which in turn add notes of stone fruit, orange, lemon and mint to this bready, toffee-like beast of a beer.

Stone Hifi+Lofi Mixtape, Strong Ale, 8.8% ABV
A beer that pays homage to a centuries-old tradition of combining new beer with aged ales. Freshly brewed beers of the day were often very smoky and bitter tasting, and were blended with older beer that had mellowed with age to produce a more drinkable libation. This modern version is a blend of an ale aged more than three months in oak foudres (large wooden fermentation vessels) with a fresh version of the same beer to create a perfect harmony spanning end to end on the taste spectrum.
