Tempered in the roaring fires of Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, and Motueka. Quenched in fermentation on a clean, classic strain. Punchy tropical notes of key lime, kiwi, white grape, guava, and passionfruit give way to a finish so keen it could cut. Bright as blue flame. Nepenthe Glamour Pilsner - Other / 4.8% ABV / 144 CAL / Baltimore, MD / This dazzling little lager struts onto the scene sporting a bed of crackery pilsner malt. Gently dry-hopped with just enough Vic Secret, Nelson Sauvin, and Lemondrop. Pale, gleaming straw in color with notes of crisp malt, honeysuckle, and sun-ripened peaches, flaunting a dry, clean finish. A perfect quencher as the days turn to the searing brightness of summer. Nepenthe Polydribbles #19 Sour - Fruited / 5.9% ABV / 177 CAL / Baltimore, MD / Brewed with the same simple base of 2-row and wheat malts as its predecessors, then conditioned on a ridiculous amount of juicy strawberry, hibiscus, and orange puree. Bursting with notes of strawberry mimosa, hibiscus sun tea, sweet orange zest, and summer sunshine. Nepenthe Wolfbann Lager - Munich Dunkel / 4.9% ABV / 147 CAL / Baltimore, MD / It is wise to show respect to a summoner of wolves. Brewed with two types of Munich malt and a snarl of Carafa II Special. Fermented on a traditional German yeast and patiently lagered for over a month. Clean and crisp with intense notes of pumpernickel, chocolate, fig, and the thrill of the hunt. The magus gestures and the pack hunts. Paulaner Brauerei Oktoberfest Märzen / Original Münchner Märzen Märzen / 5.8% ABV / 20 IBU / 174 CAL / Munich, Bayern / An amber beer style that was developed over 200 years ago to celebrate the original Oktoberfest. The Märzen name comes from “March beer” because it was historically brewed in March to be at peak flavor for the Oktoberfest celebration. Today this style is available year-round in the US due to popular demand. Paulaner Brauerei Paulaner Oktoberfest Wiesn Festbier / 6% ABV / 180 CAL / Munich, Bayern / Brewed once a year, and only available while supplies last, Oktoberfest Wiesn is the pinnacle of German brewing: deep golden color, full-bodied and wonderfully mellow, with a balanced harmonious taste and the pleasant fragrance of hops. At 6% ABV, it is stronger and bolder that the usual lager. Malts: Munich and Pilsner. Hops: Herkules, Taurus and Hallertauer Tradition. Radeberger Gruppe Radeberger Pilsner Pilsner - German / 4.8% ABV / 33 IBU / 144 CAL / Frankfurt am Main, Hessen / Crowned the official drink by King Friedrich August III of Saxony, Radeberger, a pilsner style beer brewed near Dresden, is characterized by its dazzling and refreshing taste and has long been enjoyed by German nobility. Radeberger Gruppe Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Shandy / 2.5% ABV / 75 CAL / Frankfurt am Main, Hessen / Now that you’ve discovered the new unique taste of our beer, we salute your ways to keep it fresh. As an original - the first to combine Hefeweizen beer and grapefruit juice, we’d like to introduce you to the “proper” pronunciation of our unusual and challenging name: Chauffeur + ah + (The) Hoff + ah! Radeberger Gruppe Sion Kölsch Kölsch / 4.8% ABV / 144 CAL / Frankfurt am Main, Hessen / http://www.sion.de Brewing is the art of creating something special with the few ingredients specified by the purity law and the Kölsch convention. Pure water from our own well, top-fermenting yeast from our own pure culture, the best barley and wheat malt and selected hops - the result is delicious: tangy and fresh on the tongue, slightly dry and hoppy on the palate, slim and elegant in the finish. Simply good taste, which can take the following forms. Allgäuer Brauhaus Oberdorfer Festbier Festbier / 5.4% ABV / 162 CAL / Kempten (Allgäu), Bayern / Solace Air Gourd'n Pumpkin Porter Pumpkin / 6.3% ABV / 189 CAL / Dulles, VA / Pumpkin Porter Solace Gute Nacht Märzen / 5.5% ABV / 165 CAL / Dulles, VA / Malty and full-bodied, this classic Marzen-style lager is the perfect beer to kick of the fall season. Solace Laces Out IPA - American / 6.5% ABV / 195 CAL / Dulles, VA / Brewed with Galaxy, Lotus and El Dorado Hops. Solace Thunder Buddy IPA - American / 6.5% ABV
