we've begged and pleaded with our friends in the beer world to let go of some of their rare and unique beers. please ask the bartender or server what we've got our hands on now.
they say the first step is admitting you have a problem, so here goes, we are hoarders. we can't help it, it's what we do. we can't resist holding onto our favorite beers and seeing what they taste like months and sometimes years (when stylistically appropriate) later. we've got some pretty cool stuff in the cellar and it's time to make some room, so ask for what's up next.

this beer is 3 floyd's american "mild" ale. with a more assertive hop profile that british milds and a relatively low alcohol content this is a great session beer that still has pale ale characteristics. pride and joy is a golden color with a fruity nose and a light caramel sweetness to balance the crisp finish. a truly refreshing ale that drinks easily. three floyds brewing, munster, in. pale ale
reminiscent of the old days in france, before the great wars, when wine makers of the south shared their used barrels with their northern cousins, the resulting ciders were a little bit rough, unfiltered with a balance of flavors from the fruit, the farm and the barrel. virtue has recreated this traditional cider by sourcing tart fruit, patiently aging for months in wine barrels, and serving as is, without fine filtration. lapinette is a window into our past, a very tasty time indeed. virtue cider works, fennville, mi. norman style cidre
