 Hey Brew Fans,
The season has arrived and it's time to dive into some new brews as things heat up. The imports hold some of the most unique and unusual brews. Some of these producers are finally getting away from their roots and making some different styles of beer. Here are a few of the new:
New International arrivals:
 Unibrue Grande Reserve
17th Anniversary
22oz $14.99 10% abv
This is a Belgian Strong Dark Ale. The body has a deep brown color with dark crimson highlights. A thick and creamy off white head stands on top. This head hangs on very well and leaves nice lace patterns on the glass. There is an interesting blend of sweet malts, dark fruits, grapes, funky yeast, and earthy old leather. The 10% abv is very noticeable but in an inviting way. Just noticeable... more

 Wookey Jack Black Rye IPA Firestone Brewing
22oz. $5.99 8.3% abv

These are some fantastic brews and worth trying. Some are in very limited supply and once gone will not be back for at least a year.
PROST!
