It hardly seems possible that another year has passed so quickly. Good news....? Our incredible new German beers have arrived. Neuzeller KlosterBrau products are here, cleared and making their way to a store near you. Also, Brasserie Dubuisson has re-packaged their ever-popular Cuvee des Trolls so they are available in single bottle format.
Choose from the incredible Porter, delicious Kirsch (cherry), original Badebier (black beer), and their famous Mord & Totschlag (murder and manslaughter).
They're all so good it will be difficult choosing your favorite.

Winter beer is usually all about vanilla, but for On the Coast beer columnist Rebecca Whyman, this year the holidays are about Christmas ales from Belgium.
Whyman says all three are vanilla-free, and can be imported from Bravo Beer Company or found at specialty beer stores.
Bonsecours Blonde de Noel : One of the only blonde ales brewed for Christmas, it is made with malt, candi sugar, hops and yeast. This is a sweet, yeasty and fruity beer with notes of clove, coriander and citrus.
Noel de Silenrieux: An organic spiced Belgian brown ale made with barley malt, candi sugar, hops and spices. It tastes of cherries, figs, grapes and pears. It has a sweet initial taste, moving to caramel and molasses.
Scaldis Noel: A dry-hopped Belgian strong dark ale made with barley malt, candi sugar, hops and yeast. It tastes of toffee, oak, nuts, pepper, stone fruit and all spice with the mouthfeel of a sherry or port.
Our incredible selection of Christmas beers are here, cleared customs, activated and ready to go. We've got some great new selections as well as the tried and true. Take your pick....or try them all!
The list goes on and on! So many beer festivals....so little time. This doesn't include the special events some amazing venues are putting together.
