Summerfest – “Since their invention in the 1840s, Pilsener-style beers have become the world’s most popular style. With a nod toward the original Czech tradition, Summerfest is brewed to feature the best of Bohemian nature. Crisp, golden, dry and incredibly drinkable, Summerfest has a delicate and complex malt flavor and spicy and floral hop character—the perfect warm weather beer.”

Ovila Mixed Set – “Our Ovila® Abbey Ales series is a collaboration with the monks of the Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina, CA. Each beer is a modern twist on a traditional Belgian-style abbey ale—monastic inspiration and American innovation.”
1) Ovila Saison with Sage
2) Ovila Abbey Brown with Mandarins & Cocoa
3) Ovila Quad with Cherries

Join us and Jesse Mogk Thursday, April 28 from 5-7 pm and enjoy some of the classic Belgian offerings from D&V International Importers!

St. Bernardus Extra 4 - The Extra 4 is brewed in the classic ‘single’ style and is a light gold colored beer with a ABV of only 4.8%. It is a beer of high fermentation, bottle conditioned and full of flavours. It is brewed with more hops than usual for the other beers of Brewery St. Bernardus.

Verhaeghe Echt Kriekenbier - Echt Kriekenbier is as the name suggests a cherry beer that is manufactured with only the real fruit of cherries instead of with flavor enhancers or extracts of cherries. The fruit is sourced from the region around Sint-Truiden in Limburg (Belgium). Unlike the most famous fruit beers is the basic beer of the “real cherry beer” not a Lambic but a West-Flemish red-brown ale aged in oak wood. About mid-July at the picking, the Northern cherries are brought in at the brewery and laid in on the base beer. Because the taste of the cherry fruit varies from year to year and this according to the number of hours of sunshine or rain, the kriekenbier at its final composition is blended with cherry beer from the year before and two-year-old cherry beer.

White Hatter IPA - Flavorfully blends the soft malt, fruity esters and delicate spicing of a Belgian White with hoppy citrus notes of an IPA. Pleasant hints of orange are framed with chamomile, coriander and grains of paradise.(Pair with fish, grilled chicken, hard cheeses.)

The Poet Oatmeal Stout - Oats bring a creaminess and soft mouth-feel to rich, roasty malt character. (Pair with mushrooms, beef, blooming, soft-ripened cheeses and chocolate.)

Pilgrim’s Dole - A barleywine-style ale made with fifty percent wheat malt, or what we at New Holland call a wheatwine. Pilgrim’s Dole blends warming and slightly sweet flavors with a unique caramelized character.

Dragon’s Milk - A stout with roasty malt character intermingled with deep vanilla tones, all dancing in an oak bath. (Pair with red meat, smoked foods, balsamic, rich cheese and dark chocolate.)
