Stickiest Monkee wins!

Since 2006 Firestone Walker’s barrel aging project has turned out some of America’s most sought after beer releases in their Anniversary Ale series. These ales are a blend of several unique components, beers of varying styles aged in spirits vessels. Over the years, our friends in Paso Robles have treated us to some of these component ales as draft only and, to our delight here at Healthy Spirits, limited bottle runs.

Cantillon

“Can-tee-YONE”

They produce lambic.

“Lahm-BEEK”

And sometimes blend it to make Gueuze.

“GUHR-zuh”

Healthy Spirits has a little bit of Cantillon to sell. If you’d like some stop by. If you’re a club member you can call the store whose club you’re a member of and reserve one bottle. If you want to call to find out whether it’s still in stock you’re probably too late, but say hi anyways ’cause we have amazing spontaneous ales all the time! We have 25.4oz bottles of Classic Gueuze, Iris, and Saint-Gilloise in a very limited supply.

Again:

Classic Gueuze
Cuvee Saint-Gilloise
Iris

One bottle per person strictly limited, please.

HAIR OF THE DOG: Just in! This legendary small batch brewery from Portland, a pioneer of interesting and delicious beers that defy style guidelines, is back in San Francisco after a long drought. And we got some! We have limited quantities of Fred, Blue Dot, and the very rare Cherry Adam. At the risk of pigeonhole-ing these beers, I will attempt to describe them:

Fred: A hoppy, Belgian Golden Strong Ale with Rye. $6.99/ 12oz

Blue Dot: While this is their only beer to explicitly display a known beer style, Double IPA, I wouldn’t lump this in with the rest of the hop bombs out here on the West Coast. In fact, I would liken more to a Belgian IPA. Unfiltered and a bit funky, with a nice, clean, grassy hop character. $9.99/ 22oz

Cherry Adam: Where to start.. at %13.5 abv, one might call this beer a Barleywine or Old Ale, and it wouldn’t be wrong to do so. It is indeed strong, malty and has little-to-no carbonation. But it diverges from the aforementioned styles in couple ways: an American dose of Pacific Northwest hops and the addition of local cherries. The beer is aged for at least 15 months(!) in oak, making it exceptionally smooth. One of the most complex, layered and tasty beers you’ll ever have. $17.99/ 12oz
