SkullSplitter Scotch Ale from Orkney Brewing of Scotland now has new packaging.

Schraml Met, mead aged in plum brandy oak barrels. Extremely limited as we have just one bottle available, despite our expectation for a full case.

A new collaboration by Stone Brewing, this one is with North Park Beer Co. and Ballast Point Brewing Company. San Diego Session Ale is a bold, aggressively hopped sessionable IPA at 4.2% ABV.

Oatis from Ninkasi Brewing of Oregon. This delicious oatmeal stout is rich and robust with a silky mouth-feel and cheek-warming strength. Bittersweet roasty malts, with notes of burnt chocolate, ash, and citrusy Cascade hops. Yum!

Broughton Black Douglas, Old Jock and Merlin Ale have all returned to 99 Bottles!

More HB Oktoberfest party barrels are in. Buy 2 and get a case discount.

The first wet hop beer of the year is here! Rogue Chatoe Wet Hop is back. Yum Yum...this was Tiffany's pick for wet hop in '09.
