New beer on draught

Real Ale Devil's Backbone - "This new release from Real Ale is a Belgian Tripel style ale. Devil's Backbone is made with brewery made Candi sugar, 2-row malt, Styrian Goldings hops for bittering, Czech Saaz hops for aroma. Coriander is added at the end of the boil. It is fermented warmer than our other ales with a Belgian style yeast."

Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale - "is a light-colored ale only brewed in summer. Honey Moon Summer Ale combines the fresh flavor of orange peel and real Madhava honey with pale malt and malted white wheat. Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale is brewed in small batches and available May through August."
http://www.coors.com/docs/Blue%20Moon%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf

Real Ale Brewhouse Brown Ale - "Caramel brown with a hint of chocolate, Brewhouse Brown melds four kinds of malt to create a satisfying, thirst-quenching brew. Best enjoyed at 55 degrees, this ale is slightly rich and roasty, yet leaves a dry finish. It is the perfect companion for a hearty meal."
http://www.realalebrewing.com/beer_styles.php

New Belgium’s Skinny Dip- "is a full-bodied, figure-friendly beer perfect for the lightly attired summer months. Cascade hops frolic with kaffir lime and ample malt to create a bright, citrusy nose that’s as crisp as chilling in a mountain pond. Skinny Dip * a most revealing beverage."
http://www.newbelgium.com/beers_skinnydip.php

Samuel Adams Summer Ale - "is an American wheat ale. This summer seasonal uses malted wheat as well as lemon zest and grains of paradise, a rare pepper from Africa first used as a brewing spice in the 13th Century to create a crisp and spicy flavor and body. The ale fermentation imparts a background tropical fruit note reminiscent of mangos and peaches. All of these come together to create a quenching, clean finishing beer perfect for those warm Summer days."
http://www.samueladams.com/world_of_beer.aspx

Pyramid Curve Ball - "Inspired by the traditional Kölsch style beers of Cologne, Germany, Curve Ball boasts a clean, crisp slightly herbal taste and a lighter body. With its sporty packaging and refreshing taste, Curve Ball is the perfect accompaniment to summer grilling and ballpark outings. Try swingin' at it on a hot summer day!"
http://www.pyramidbrew.com/beer/beerguide/curve_ball.php

Kona Longboard Lager - "is a smooth refreshing lager fermented and aged for five weeks at cold temperatures to yield its exceptionally smooth flavor. A delicate, slightly spicy hop aroma complements the malty body of this beer."
http://www.konabrewingco.com/beers/longboard

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA - "A session I.P.A. brewed with Warrior, Amarillo and Mystery Hop X. A powerful East Coast I.P.A. with a lot of citrusy hop character. THE session beer for beer geeks like us!"
6% ABV 60 IBU
Descriptors: Citrus, cedar, pine and candied-orange flavors, floral

Brother Thelonious Belgian Style Abbey Ale - "With the developing interest in Belgian abbey ales and the monasteries that brew them, it’s time to remind the world that here in the U.S., we have a Monk of our own. Jazz icon Thelonious Monk is the inspiration for North Coast Brewing’s new Belgian-style abbey ale called, appropriately enough, Brother Thelonious. The beer is being released in conjunction with the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz (www.monkinstitute.org), and the brewery will make a contribution to the Institute for every case sold to support jazz education. Like a Belgian “Dark Strong Ale”, the beer is rich and robust with an ABV of 9%. The package is a 750 ml bottle with a traditional cork and wire finish and features a label picturing the jazz master himself."

New cider on draught

Ace Pear Cider - "Like Ace Apple Ace Perry is made from a base of 100% pure, local apple juice. Pear juice is added to give the cider its distinctive pear taste; a taste so fresh and natural it is already proving as popular as its more traditional apple counterpart. Ace Cider is gluten free!"
http://www.acecider.com/acepear.html

New beer in a bottle

Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale - "Pour Orange Blossom into a glass and enjoy the wonderful fragrance of freshly peeled orange. Take a sip and the smooth, bright flavor of an orange wedge refreshes your palate. Another uniquely refreshing seasonal summer beer from Buffalo Bill's Brewery."
http://www.buffalobillsbrewery.com/beers_bottled.asp

Avery Karma - "We believe in Karma. We suspect most of you do, too. It truly is a global concept. Very simply put, "you get what you give." Inspired by this principle and the wonderful farmhouse and pale ales of Belgium, we've created Karma Ale, a decidedly fruity and estery ale, intricate in body and nose, all driven by a unique Belgian yeast strain. Remember, good things DO happen to good people. Here's to being good!"
Beer Style: Belgian Ale
Hop Variety: Sterling
Malt Variety: Two-row barley, Belgian special B, cara 45, aromatic
OG: 1.048 Alcohol By Volume: 5.2% IBU's: 10
Color: Amber

Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat - "Ale brewed with Cherries. Crisp and fruity with a hint of honey. Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat follows the centuries old American tradition of brewing beer with native ingredients, in this case Michigan cherries as well as a touch of honey. The sweet fruitiness of the cherries is balanced against the crisp, cereal note from the malted wheat and the subtle citrus flavor from the Noble hops. The end result is a sweet, refreshing beer that is light on the palate but long on complexity."
http://www.samueladams.com/world_of_beer.aspx

Full Sail Session Premium American Lager - "How big a bummer was Prohibition? As if taking everyone’s brew away wasn’t bad enough, hundreds of little independent breweries that once made super tasty beers basically got worked. And when they went out of business, America not only lost the breweries – it lost what American beer used to taste like. Session is our way of bringing back the pre-Prohibition American Lager. It’s an all-malt Continental Pilsner brewed with American and European hops, so it’s flavorful, refreshing, and has a touch of that import-style taste. (Which, once upon a time, you didn’t have to buy an “import” to get.) Oh, and it comes in a stubby, 11-oz bottle like your grandpa used to buy. Which seemed appropriate since he was invented back before Prohibition, too. So after your next session (surf, jam, gab, whatever), crack open a Session and drink to the good old new days."

Barbar Honey Ale - "Born of the ancestral know-how of a family brewery, Barbar beer will please you with its malt taste and subtle flavour of honey. It is brewed using water drawn from artesian wells on the site of the brewery, at Quenast, a small village to the south of Brussels. This area is well-known for the quality and the diversity of its beers. Barbar beer is prepared from a secret and harmonious mixture of barley malts, hops and honey carefully selected by our Master Brewer. The traditional brewing method, associated with our unique strain of yeast, and the secondary fermentation in the bottle, gives Barbar the authentic flavour of a very special ale. Its alcoholic content is 8%."

Tripel Karmeliet - "Very refined and complex. Hints of vanilla mixed with citrus aromas. Tripel Karmeliet is a very refined and complex golden-to-bronze brew with a fantastic creamy head. These characteristics derive not only from the grains used but also from restrained hopping with Styrians and the fruity nature (banana and
vanilla) of the house yeast. Tripel Karmeliet has not only the lightness and freshness of wheat, but also the creaminess of oats together with a spicy lemony almost quinine dryness." ABV: 8%
http://www.bestbelgianspecialbeers.be/main_eng.html

Delirium Tremens - "The name Delirium Tremens speaks for itself. The color is golden and the head is creamy and light. The aftertaste is fruity, almost cherry. Delirium Tremens has a big body, a rich mouth feel, and a long, sweet aftertaste." -- Stuart Kallen, The 50 Greatest Beers in the World

Tsingtao Lager (pronounced "Ching-Dow") - Tsingtao Lager has a crisp, slightly malty flavor and nutty sweet taste which complements spicy or flavorful Asian cuisine. Tsingtao Lager is brewed with the finest all-natural ingredients including domestically-grown hops, high quality barley and spring water from China's Laoshan mountain region. Alcohol Content: 3.8% alcohol by weight, 4.8% alcohol by volume.

San Miguel Premium Lager - "A product of the Philippines and brewed since 1890, it is considered one of the top beers in the world. This lager is mildly heavy in body, but it is surprisingly smooth. You can definitely taste the sweet malt and there is no real bitterness. I can best describe this beer as a lager beer with an ale or dark beer taste. We were pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth a try for both lager and ale fans."
