Lambic
One of the oldest, and most endangered styles of beer, these traditionally hail from the Senne River Valley in Brussels. A lambic (pronounced “lambeek”) is a beer brewed with a high percentage of wheat, aged hops (which help preserve the beer without imparting hop bitterness or flavor), and spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts found in the ambient air. After aging for a number of years in wooden barrels, lambic can then be served unblended as flat, pure, lambic, or more commonly, blended as a geuze (pro. “gooz”) from 1,2, & 3 year old lambic. Fruits are often added to the barrels to produce other variations such as the more common kriek (cherry) and framboise (raspberry).
(*note: because the world’s true lambic producers simply cannot make enough to meet the current demand world-wide, and there has recently been a significant increase in consumer demand for these types of beers, we can no longer carry a consitent stock of these beers. The following is a list of what we should have in stock, though because of limited quantities (sometimes we get as few as 6 bottles) they may already be gone.)

From the Vault
These beers have been aged in a temperature controlled environment in the vault (yup, a real vault. this building was built in the mid-1800’s as Canal Bank). We choose beers that we feel will hold up to a little aging. This process may change the beers’ flavors and character, hopefully for the better.

Pale
Deep golden or amber in color, the pale ale originates in the UK and is typically medium-bodied and made pre-dominantly from pale malts, hence the name. American styles tend to have a fresh taste and some hoppy aromas, while more traditional British pales are noticeably maltier and softer on the palate.

IPA
India Pale Ale. A step up in strength and flavor, this British-born ale was created for export to India and is characterized by high quantities of hops and higher alcohol content, originally for preservation purposes to endure the long journey overseas. Today, the range of hop-intensity is extensive with the American variations bringing this style to a new extreme.

Core Bottles
American / UK Style
This is a generalization categorizing this “style” by more traditional ales. As brewing traditions go, European immigrants brought their techniques with them to the New World. Most American ales followed the roots of classic British ales. True to the American way, these beers today tend to deviate from tradition with that “bigger, faster, more” mentality. You will find higher levels of alcohol, more hops, and different flavorings including fruits, herbs, and spices. Though some UK brewers are becoming more experimental, most still adhere to traditional style guidelines. As for American breweries, they are producing such a vast array of styles that it is impossible to squeeze them into one category, but the majority do produce a line of more classic styles such as pale, IPA, brown, porter and stout.

Belgian Style
With over 100 breweries producing 1000’s of different beers, Belgium is highly regarded in the beer world for producing a vast array of colors, aromas and flavors in their brews. High, well masked alcohol levels have also helped this style to gain notoriety. Belgian brewmasters have long used numerous ingredients such as herbs and spices, and fruits of all kind, but the key ingredient that sets Belgian style beers apart is the yeast strain used for fermentation. Belgian ale yeasts often produce fruity, spicy, complex flavors. Though most of the beers in this category are from Belgium, thus making them “Belgian style” by default, those from elsewhere certainly use Belgian yeast.
Blonde
This tends to be a sweet golden-yellow ale with healthy carbonation. Much of its aroma, like many Belgian beers, develops from the character of the yeast. More recently some breweries are creating more hoppy blondes, which results in a clean, refreshing taste.

IPA / Hoppy
A new style emerging from Belgian brewers traveling to the States and finding a love for the intense hoppiness of American IPAs. These beers tend to carry the classic characteristics of Belgian blondes and trippels with all the hop intensity of big, American IPAs.
