humble patience

New batch of labels have come in…


Magic Hat Humble Patience: As revealed this past November, a couple of old brewery standbys are making a comeback this year.

Blue Moon Vintage Blonde Ale: This beer joins the previously released Grand Cru in the Brewmaster’s Reserve Collection. It is a wheat beer brewed with Chardonnay grape juice. Packaged in 750s. 8.5% ABV.

Alvinne Cuvee D’Erpigny: This full-bodied dark ale has been aged in Monbazillac wine barrels for several months. Ideal as dessert beer. 750s. 15% ABV. Importer: B. United. It has a 95/73 score on RateBeer.

Cavalry Marauder IPA: Connecticut-based brewery that was founded by a Veteran last year. As far as I know, this is the brewery’s first label for 12 oz. bottles. Heh, Cavalry’s beers are all in 12 oz. bottles already.

Southern Star Walloon Grisette: The brewery’s first seasonal…per the Houston Craft Beer Examiner, “What exactly is grisette, you might ask? Well, it is certainly an obscure style of beer and it is doubtful that many individuals (and that includes the majority of beer geeks) have ever heard of it. Grisette is a style originally developed back in the 1800’s in the Belgian province of Hainaut. This beer is a farmhouse style ale with added features of a Belgian wit and Belgian triplel. This beer is brewed light, making it a good choice for summer refreshment.”

SSB plans to launch the beer during its Saturday tour on April 30. It is only approved for kegs at the moment.

Crown Valley Gunslinger Double IPA: Bottle label approvals are in for Gunslinger. A bit of a hiccup but the beer formerly known as Double Barrel will soon hit the market.

Boundary Bay Ski to Sea ESB: Brewed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Ski to Sea Race. BB does have an ESB in 22’s already but not sure if this is the same brew.

Swamphead Catherine’s Inspiration Russian Imperial Stout: New keg collar came in for this Florida brewery…they also got approval for Catherine’s Passion Ale.
