HAPPY FREAKIN' HOLIDAYS, BEER LOVERS !!!!!!!
The festive season has come early to Black Horse Pike as we got an early present of beers from local brewery, Atlantic City's very own The Seed: A Living Beer Project.
Yes, the gifted and good people at The Seed are now sending out canned beers to retail liquor stores and we just got our first order. We have 4 of their beers (in limited supply) for you just in time for the imminent holidays:
Seeds Of The Ocean Pale Lager
Unhurriedly Nitro Pub Ale Bitter
For Warmth Nitro Pub Style Oatmeal Stout
At First Light Coffee Stout with Burundi single origin coffee
For those of you in the area who know of and have had the pleasure of visiting The Seed then you know they brew high quality delicious beers. They aren't the typical brewery pumping out IPAs, fruited Sours, and Pastry Stouts as they brew more traditional and Old World style beers. They do loads of UK, German, and Belgian styles and they nail the representation of what these beers are supposed to be. There's brewers and then there's artisans and The Seed are artisans of their craft. For those of you who haven't been there yet, what in the bloody H, E, double hockey sticks are you waiting for? A great place to visit with a cozy atmosphere and great selection of beers to choose and sample. For fans of Saisons of all styles you'll really appreciate what they offer in this category.
Again, we only got a limited supply of each so best not to procrastinate as once people know these beers are available they won't last long.
Cheers!

Tis the season to be jolly. Jolly good, that is.
From merry old England comes some very unique liquid from family owned and operated (6th generation since 1828) JW Lees & Co. Brewery in the form of their Harvest Ale series of cask conditioned Barleywines.
First up is from the 2021 Vintage, but with a delightful twist, as this brew has been made with yeast from a batch they did back in 1986. Yes, you read that correct. This beer was made with a yeast strain dating back 38 years! This sexy brew clocks in at 10.5% ABV and is currently grading out at 4.34 on Untappd. It has flavours of honey, toffee, raisins, brown sugar, orange marmalade, and caramel.
The next two are very special as each beer is over 20 years old! I've never had a beer over 20 years old before, so very curious about these tempting beauties. Funny, but these beers are of legal age to drink.
Harvest Ale 2002 Vintage is already a limited edition brew made with the first hops of the year and best British malts available. It has a hearty ABV of 11.5% and quite a layered mix of flavours. You'll get raisins, figs, molasses, burnt toffee/caramel, leather, brown sugar, chocolate, a bit of a dry Earthy note, and hints of Port & Sherry. When a hearty beer like this has been aged this long it's rather common for it be be quite complex. Rated 4.25 on Untappd.
Harvest Ale 2001 Vintage, like it's little brother, comes in at 11.5% ABV. This is also a limited edition vintage, so the combination of availability and age makes this a rare bird indeed. It has flavours of molasses, caramel, toffee, figs, raisins, chocolate, and vanilla. This one is grading out at 4.21 on Untappd.
If you're a true enthusiast and aficionado of the Old World styles of beers then these 3 amazing and rare little gems are something you're going to want to get your hands on. They also would make great stocking stuffer gifts for any discerning beer lover as you'll be gifting them an uncommon and exclusive treat.
Cheers!

A little something special for this weekend's Army v Navy college football game from Toms River Brewing:
Boots On The Ground IPA
Liberty Call Vienna-Style Lager
And not just for this weekend's game, but for anyone who enjoys craft beer and for those who have served or are currently serving our country then this could be a choice of interest for you.
Boots On The Ground is a heavily wheated and oated IPA for a lighter fluffy body that allows hop farm Yakima Chief's special Veterans Blend of hops to shine with flavours of tropical fruits and stone fruits.
Liberty Call is true to the Vienna style with a nice malty backbone and notes of toasted bread with floral hops to round out this amber coloured liquid. And it's rating out at 3.90 on Untappd, which is a very solid score for any Lager style.
So whether you're going to be watching the game, doing some yard/house work, working on your holiday shopping, or just taking some time to unwind and relax then here's a couple beers to help you with whatever endeavour you choose to pursue.
Cheers!

It's Black Friday and to most people that means holiday shopping and chasing down deals all over town and the interwebz. But, if you're a beer lover, especially of Barrel Aged Stouts, then Black Friday means just one thing.......
It's Bourbon County Time !!!!!
From Goose Island Beer Co. comes their yearly series Bourbon County Brand Stout, all available in single 16.9oz bottles. We have the flagship beer plus two variants for your consideration.
Bourbon County Brand Original Stout 2024 has been aged for an average of one year in freshly emptied Bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace, Four Roses, Heaven Hill, and Wild Turkey distilleries. It has an ABV of 14.7% and is currently pulling down a 4.34 on Untappd.
Bourbon County Brand Macaroon Stout 2024 has been aged one year in Bourbon barrels then the addition of cocoa nibs, sweet candied ginger, and toasted coconut help turn this brew into a decadent liquid coconut macaroon. This bad boy has an ABV of 14.6% and a 4.25 rating on Untappd.
Bourbon County Brand Vanilla Rye Stout is a take on a similar variant they release a decade ago. They aged this rye Imperial Stout in just emptied Rye Whiskey barrels for a full year and then condition it on Madagascar vanilla beans. This one is the baby of the batch with an ABV of 14.0%, but this ambitious child is grading out the highest at 4.45.
So there you have it, lovers of Barrel Aged Stouts. Your yearly treasure of Bourbon County brews is now available for you to purchase as long as you don't wait too long since there is a limited supply.
Cheers!

I got my baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back.
My brainchild that Axe and Arrow Brewing was most gracious enough to brew and that we sold very well last year is back !!!!!
Just Like Grandma's Apple Pie Ale
In lieu of all the Pumpkin beers that are made every Autumn season I came up with an idea for something different while still staying in the theme of the season: a baked apple pie beer. I mentioned this vision to my rep and he in turn shared it with the staff and owners at the brewery, they liked the concept so they ran with and brewed the beer.
They nailed the flavours on this as they do with any of their pastry/fruit brews and this beer is like drinking a slice of apple pie. A great dessert beer that just might make you feel all nostalgic for your granny's homemade apple pie.
Limited quantity this year so best to come get yours before it's gone until 2025.
Cheers!

11/28/2024

Here's something different. An Ice Cider.
Domaine Etienne Dupont in Normandie, France (a region well known for their apples and Ciders) offers us Cidre de Givre. They take their Cidre Bouche Brut and freeze it then remove the water. The result is a rich liquid that drinks like a Sherry. This special treat would be good to pair with food like spicy and tangy dishes as well as to pair to desserts. Or just sip from a snifter like a fine after dinner drink. It has a little punch, too, at 6.9% ABV.
So if you're either in the mood for something different or you just want to treat yourself to something to savour then this would be a good option for your consideration.
Cheers!

Mead's the season.......to be a freaking Viking!
Mother Nature has suddenly turned on us and it's like a Winter night out there at the moment. Biting chill and an icy dampness on the winds. Brrrrrrr. Good night to crack open a nice bottle of Mead. Something rich, something sweet, and something with a bit of warmth. Good for the body and the soul.
We just got in FIVE new Meads to let you know about, bringing our total selection to nearly TWO DOZEN different offerings for you to choose from. For now we'll just tell you about these most recent additions.
Moonlight Meadery has 3 new flavours in house for your consideration, all in 375ml bottles.
Desire is infused with blueberries, black cherries, and black currants. It pairs well with desserts, cheeses, and rich saucy meats. Currently has a 3.99 Untappd rating.
Kurt's Apple Pie is made with Vietnamese cinnamon and Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans. Like a rich liquid slice of apple pie. Dessert in a glass. Rated 3.87 on Untappd.
Wicked is a blend of spice from ginger and sweet from Bourbon vanilla beans. A great choice for an after dinner aperitif to sip and savour. Or to just get under a big blanket and kick back while relaxing. Rated 3.89 on Untappd.
We have a second offering from South Africa's Makana Meadery, Honey Sun iQhilika Cape White Fig Mead in 750ml bottle. This Mead is made with figs from Cape Fig trees that were spread throughout South Africa by colonists back to the 1600s! Has a 3.95 Untappd rating with a high number of reviews.
Our last entrant is a unique Mead from Italy. Dottor Pescia Nettare di Bacco Mead is made from select honey then stored in new oak barrels for one year before bottling and still continues to ferment a bit in the bottle. Never had a Mead like this before. Tasting notes:
Drinks more like a good Tawny Port. Flavours of candied nuts like walnuts and cashews, thin flaky pastry, dark fruit cake, and honey sweetness. Tiny little hint of anise at the very end.
Currently scoring a 4.27 on Untappd.
If you are a Mead lover or know someone who is then you really need to come visit and browse our selection.
Cheers!

Let's hear from the Lager lovers in the area!
If you enjoy the Old World style of a good German style brew then you need to come grab some of Schenker Beer Company's offerings.
We finally got their outstanding Hellbier Helles Lager back in stock for the first time since May of 2023. Been waiting for this one to return and this time we got a good amount to go around. This is probably the best Lager I can remember having. Just a clean, easy drinking, and tasty beer to savour. Here's tasting notes on it:
Outstanding balance of crisp cracker and cereal grain malt backbone with floral, grassy, and mineral hops.
Seriously, if you really enjoy a good Lager then you'll be quite pleased with this one.
Cheers!
*Shout out to the photographer from Rolling Stone for the pic.

Here's some more THC products to let you know about.
First, from Smoking Dog, we have their brand spanking new 25MG Delta 9 per can THC Seltzer, Orange Cream Puff. For those of you who have tried their Lemonades and concentrated syrups then you know they get the flavours right and this one is no exception. Nice soft sweet orange with a little splash of vanilla that pleases the palate and gives you a nice lingering mellow feeling.
Our other addition is from a new company to our area, Coastalo, and they have a seasonal THC option for you to try, Christmas Cookie. This holiday treat has 10MGs of Delta 9 THC per can to help keep you feeling festive over this holiday season, which can be stressful at times, so why not pick up a little something to help take that edge off.
We're pretty well stocked with THC products so stop and shop and treat yourself to some holiday goodness.
Cheers!

We've got a new THC product to tell you about.
Welcome to our store.....Coastal Crush.
This beverage is a joint effort between Millville's Glasstown Brewing Company and Hammerhead H**p Co. of DE. Nice to have a local brewery now offering THC liquids.
There's 4 Sodas:
Citrus, (Vanilla) Cream, Grape, and Orange
And 1 Seltzer:
Black Cherry
Available in 4pk cans and single cans, 12oz. Each can contains 10mgs of h**p derived Delta 9 THC. This one has a fasting acting kick-in time of 7-10 minutes with the light euphoric effects lasting 60-90 minutes.
The Vanilla Cream Soda was very good, but that Citrus Soda, damn my dame, is that some lip smacking delicious nectar.
If THC drinks are your jam then you need to try these. I think your tastebuds will thank you and your mind and soul will also feel.......groovy.
Cheers!

Stout Season approaches !!!!!
And not just Stouts, but Barrel Aged Stouts !!! Even better!
Now that it seems our late Indian Summer is finally over with and as the days grow cooler and greyer with the nights getting downright chilly, the opportunity has presented itself for sipping on chewy, rich, decadent, and luxurious ABV heavy dark brews.
We have a couple that are both very limited (so once they're gone you won't get another chance) and quite worthy of you making an investment and treating yourself to something really good.
First up we have Evil Twin Brewing NYC gifting us with another addition to their The Great Northern Barrel Aged Series with #46. This is a hefty 15% ABV big boy that was aged for 32 months in Blis Bourbon Maple Syrup barrels and then blended with another Imperial Stout that was aged 32 months in Willett Bourbon barrels. It has also been conditioned on toasted coconut, cocoa, and cinnamon. Only a handful of reviews on this brand spanking new release, but so far they are all 4.5s and 5.0s. With Evil Twin's knack for making delicious Stouts plus nearly 3 years worth of barrel aging, you know this one is going to be a banger. In fact, just might have to give this one a try while watching our Eagles on Thursday Night Football (aka the "We care so much about player safety Amazon Game") against those Commies from DC.
The other offering is from New Holland Brewing Co., who created one of the original barrel aged brews with their Dragon's Milk Stout. Well, they have gifted us with something special here as they pay tribute to the fantasy board game Dungeons & Dragons celebrating its 50th year. D20 is a hearty 20% ABV Imperial Stout that's been aged over a year in two separate first-use Bourbon barrels. Whether you're a D&D enthusiast or not, this magickal elixir is sure to tempt and treat your taste buds. A good choice to pour into a goblet and let it open up a bit before savouring its layers of flavours.
Again, not much of either to go around, so if Barrel Aged Stouts are your jam then better to get in here sooner than later. Also makes a great gift for the craft beer drinker in your life with the holidays right around the corner.
Cheers!

Garage Beer is in the house !!!
This beer is part owned by future Hall Of Famer and former Eagle, Jason Kelce.
It's a craft Light Lager with a 4% ABV, 95 calories, and 3Gs of carbs. It's available in 12pk and 6pk cans. We also have Classic Lime, a Mexican-style Lager, in 12pk cans.
A great choice for watching the Birds, whether relaxing at home in front of the TV or tailgating at The Linc. Of course, you don't have to wait for the Eagles to be playing to enjoy Garage Beer, so pick some up any time you're here.
Cheers!

11/12/2024

'Tis the season !!!!!
Winter Beers are here !!!
Yes, the weather has remained on the warmer side so far as we approach the festive holiday season (which will be here before you know it), but eventually Mother Nature will stop being so kind to us and hit us with colder cloudy days and chilly nights. You're going to need some brews that are a perfect compliment to those moments and we've good a nice selection for you to peruse with some more on the way.
Check out our displays while you're here shopping and treat yourself to something good and rewarding.
Cheers!
