Live Oak Primus – A dark, rich German-style Weizen beer (beer made with wheat malt) fermented with a very particular strain of brewers’ yeast that gives this beer it’s unique spicy and fruity character.

Lagunitas Eroica – This is a Lagunitas-ified version of a traditional Flemish Farmouse ale, aged in red wine oak barrels and funkied up with Brettanomyces yeast.

Abita 30/90 –  This is a German style Kolsh that is brewed with Pilsner malt as well as wheat and oats. This gives the beer A bright straw like color and sweet malty taste.

Hops & Grain Pellets & Powder IPA – With Pellets & Powder IPA, H&G has been experimenting with varying the form of hops added to each tank.

And only once will they bottle that expression. This is Single Foeder Oscar No. 65 / 8.5% ABV / Fort Collins, CO / Availability: Very Limited / Mueller Only

Bravos Valley High Noon – A delicious IPA featuring the new Vic Secret variety of hops for a fragrant nose and a nice hop bite. 6.9% ABV / Brenham, TX

Odell Rupture – Rupture was born out of an obsession with getting the most out of each and every hop. In fact, they built a machine in their brewery to incorporate a unique fresh grind process. By grinding the whole hop, they “rupture” the lupulin inside – releasing the oil that gives the beer its flavor. And what they grind that day, they use that day. Leaving you a beer that’s fresh, aromatic, with an unparalleled bright, hoppy character. 6% ABV / Fort Collins, CO / RateBeer 94

Deschutes Black Butte XXIX – 29th Birthday Reserve. Porter brewed with Dutched cocoa, Belgian cinnamon, and cayenne. 50% aged in Bourbon and Rum barrels. 12.2% ABV / Bend, OR / RateBeer 99

Jester King Biere de Miel – On brewday, they added raw, Texas wildflower honey from Good Flow Honey Co. in Austin, Texas late in the boil. After the first several weeks of fermentation, they added more honey to the beer. Finally, the beer was 100% naturally-refermented in bottles, kegs, and casks using more of the raw, Texas wildflower honey. In addition to the honey, Bière de Miel was brewed with Hill Country well water, malted barley, malted wheat, and hops. 5.8% ABV / Austin, TX

Weathered Souls Rule 4080 – All-Citra pale ale, dry hopped once with Citra hops. Mild bitterness, low ABV, subtle malt character that brings out the beer. Very hop forward on the nose. Fruity characteristics from Citra: citrus, pineapple and mangoes. 5.2% ABV / San Antonio, TX
