Adriaen Brouwer Dark Gold Ale
An authentic double brown ale, brewed in the tradition of the Oudenaarde
region in the Flemish Ardennes--one of the most picturesque regions of Flanders.
This is the beer the world famous Flemish
painter Adriaen Brouwer, born in Oudenaarde in 1605, used to love so much.
Actually too much, since he died way too early on a constant overdose of ale,
sex, and too much partying! He was born with a natural talent for color and
drawing, he was the epicurean by excellence, spending all his money the moment
he got it on the good things in life. A bottle-conditioned living beer. 8.5% abv
From BridgePort Brewing of Oregon...
Highland Ambush Scottish Ale
First brewed in the 1980s as a special beer for the BrewPub at BridgePort,
Highland Ambush is making a triumphant return more than 20 years later. Stuart
MacLean Ramsay, then pub manager, conceptualized the brew to pay homage to his
Scottish heritage. This year's Highland Ambush takes inspiration from the
original ale using NW pale ale malt with Scottish crystal and roast
malt. The hopping rate of Highland Ambush has been toned down to help highlight
the complementing vanilla from the American oak bourbon barrels and
caramel-toffee malt nuances. Limited release. 6.8% abv; 40 IBU
Hop Czar IPA
Hop heads rejoice! BridgePort's annually released imperial IPA has returned to 99 Bottles. Succulent citrus and resinous pine hops, with sweet caramel-biscuit malts. Notes of spicy alcohol and juicy fruits. Lingering bitter finish. Spring release. Now in 12-oz bottles! 8% abv

obvious that Cascade appears to be one of the main hops used here. We're already hearing rave reviews from hop-heads who've picked it up at 99 Bottles. 6.5% abv
