A very English Black Ale.  Bad King John is black, bitter, and intense. Like the ruthless man it honors. Do not come here looking for subtlety!

The world’s first and most authentic ice beer was given the highest rating by Michael Jackson, then mysteriously disappeared, but it’s in stock now, a heavyweight beauty. Not at all like those silly “ice” beers that big American breweries are pushing, this one is actually made the original way – by freezing and then removing the ice to intensify the alcohol and the flavor.

The story goes that a wooden barrel of bockbier was inadvertently left in the old Reichelbrau brewery yard in the middle of winter. By the time it was found, the contents were mostly frozen, and the keg had broken open. The ice was chipped away, leaving behind a much richer, more concentrated, but exceptionally clean tasting brew with a deceptive 9.2% alcohol by volume. Reichelbrau has since become, simply, Kulmbacher, but the beer is still made the old-fashioned way. The original is still the best.

Bright, golden, and playful on the tongue, with rich wholesome, English malt, so fresh it seems to have been harvested yesterday, balanced by a keen bitterness as well as the spicy herbal and floral accents that a superior brewer can coax from whole hop petals. It is also intriguingly complex, with the earthy, slightly funky nuances that can only come from an original Old World multi-strained yeast, live in the bottle.

Mysterious Kapuziner Black combines the tangy, fruity punch of a classic Bavarian wheat beer with the warm, roasted malt flavor of the famous “Black Beer” of Kulmbach. The most satisfying wheat beer made anywhere. Well-matched with lighter cuisine, especially summer fare, but above all the perfect refresher — a delight at any time of day!

Inspired on old recipes of Indian beer, Xingu Black Beer is a two-time winner of Beverage Testing Institute’s Gold Medal as the best dark lager in the world.

A true German-style Kölsch. Originally brewed in Cologne, this beer is light yet has a sweet malty body that is balanced by a complex, citrus hop character. Multiple additions of German Hallertauer hops are used to achieve this delicate flavor. We use a special Kölsch yeast, an ale yeast that ferments at lager temperatures, to yield the slightly fruity, clean flavor of this beer. Fancy Lawnmower Beer is a world class brew yet light enough to be enjoyed by Texans after strenuous activities, like mowing the lawn.

Light to medium bodied, Wexford Irish Cream Ale is real Irish draft beer in a can. It is on of the largest brands and biggest selling cream ales in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

“Piraat.  All the aroma, appearance and flavor of a classic Belgian Ale type. Pale with a heady head of head. Fruity, spicy, complex aroma and flavor. A sweet palate is followed by low hop bitterness, evident coriander-like spiciness and a titillating alcoholic blast reminiscent of Flemish fantasies. A true taste of Belgium”

In November 1992 Maudite (the damned one), was the first strong beer to be distributed in Quebec grocery stores. It contains 8 % alcohol and is also the first beer brewed in America that improves with age. When served young, it is very smooth, but when served after several years of storage, its flavor is reminiscent of port. Maudite is a mahogany-colored, rich-tasting premium beer that has a distinctive, complex taste. Because of the warmth it releases, this strong character beer must be served cool but not cold. Perfect with pasta, red meats, stews and spicy dishes, it also makes a good aperitif and after-dinner drink.

In February 1994, after 18 months of research, Unibroue launched La Fin du Monde(the end of the world).  It is a 9 percent alcohol, triple fermentation beer.  This type of beer was originally developed by the monks of the middle ages to be served on special occasions.  La Fin du Monde is a deluxe beer made by triple fermentation and a unique way of straining the yeast.  This method produces an unexpectedly subtle flavor.  With its champagne-like effervescence, it has a vigorous presence in the mouth, which accentuates its strong personality.  Slightly tart, with the balanced flavors of wild spices, malt and hops, it belongs to the class of great Trappist beers and, in the regard, is a North American first.

Named Grande Réserve in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, it is principally distinguished by its character of a strong beer. This is a beer whose fragrance of fresh yeast with a light, flowery rosy touch is especially pleasant.  Its flavor, noticed when tasting it, only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma , while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt.

and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast.

The beer’s flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma.

The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth.

Noted for its coppery colour which makes it particularly attractive.

Chimay Red

Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance.

Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously.
