We've got a little of this and a little of that on the beer menu this month. Hey, it's a New Year, why not mix it up a bit, right?

Kicking things off right, in honor of the first major stage race of the 2010 Cycling Calendar (the Tour Down Under); we are featuring Foster's Lager. Known for sustaining its bold taste from the first refreshing sip to the very last drop, Fosters was created by the Foster brothers in 1887 and has become the brew of choice for die-hard beer lovers Down Under.

To celebrate the New Year, we're adding a new beer to our menu: Blue Moon Belgian White (CO). This brew pours to a cloudy yellow color with a thick foamy head and a spicy fruit nose. The palate is light and malty yet at the same time tart with wheat. The beer also boasts strong spicy notes of the coriander and orange peel it is brewed with. This is an excellent Belgian-style wheat beer.  Try it with a slice of orange.

And just because they are sensational and we can't get enough of them, we're also featuring two beers from California's Stone Brewery. First up, the Pale Ale, Stone Brewery's flagship ale (a Southern CA interpretation of the classic British Pale Ale). It is robust and full flavored with a delicate hop aroma complimented by a rich maltiness. Second, we're serving up Stone Brewery's India Pale Ale, a medium bodied, refreshing ale with light-medium malt character and a heavy dose of over the top hops! Two full weeks of "dry hopping" give this beer its abundant hop aroma and crisp hop flavor. Enjoy!
