Welcome to the March edition of Briarcliff Brew News. We have some great beers available this month as we look towards spring and some warmer weather. A handful of beers are on sale and a nice collection of new beers are on our shelves.
First off, what’s on sale. Right now we have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale six packs. This pale ale is a classic example of a micro-brewed North American pale ale, a very drinkable balance of hops and malt body. If you are looking for something lighter and not as hoppy, but not lacking character, we’ve got Sam Adams Light, which is also on sale. Atlanta’s own Sweetwater Festive Ale is available for a great deal so make sure to get you hands on some of this great seasonal ale before it’s too late. Two new beers that are also on sale are Fordham’s Copperhead Ale and Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout. Copperhead Ale is a medium bodied beer with little hop character and a smooth malty flavor. For something darker, the Old Dominion Oak Barrel Stout is a full bodied beer with dark roasty flavors mixed with vanilla and oaky goodness. If you prefer organic beers, Lamar Street Pale Ale is on special this month. This pale ale is brewed exclusively for Whole Foods Market by Goose Island Brewery, an excellent brewery in Chicago! Finally, for those of you looking to celebrate the season a few friends, we have 12 packs of Full Sail Session and Mini Kegs of Heineken on sale. Two easy drinking beers that every beer lover can enjoy!
Next up, we’ve got the beers that are new to our shelves here at Whole Foods Market Briarcliff. We have a variety of Otter Creek Brewing beers on our shelves. They include the Vermont Lager, Copper Ale, Stovepipe Porter, and Winter Ale. Come in and try something new from this great craft brewery. Otter Creek Brewing also brews the Wolaver line of organic beers including an Oatmeal Stout and Brown Ale. Glad to have these fine brews in Atlanta! From Abita Brewing we’ve added their Andygator and Abbey Ale. Both of these brews come in 22oz bottles and are “big” beers, as they ring in at 8% alcohol. Come in and grab one (or both) to go with some cheese and find a comfy seat to enjoy! Speaking of big beers, we have Duck Rabbit’s Seasonal Barleywine Ale, which boast all the characteristics of a big beer, huge maltiness and alcohol warmth, beware! Smutty Nose Brewing Company has also made it to Atlanta. Smutty Nose brews award winning ales and now we’ve got ‘em. Try the Smutty Nose Robust Porter, Old Dog Brown Ale, or IPA, and if you can’t decide, pick up a variety sampler 12 packs! Finally we have two new brews from Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada released an ESB and an IPA. The ESB is their Early Spring Brew, an American hopped version of the classic ESB style. Our friends at Sierra Nevada also released Torpedo IPA, wonderfully hopped up American pale ale, give it a try!
That’s all for now folks. Remember to check out our mix-a-six shelf as it is always changing with beers from all genres. Also, we’ll be having specials on randomly selected beers for one, maybe two weeks at a time. You never know what it will be, but it will surely be a great deal on a great tasting beer. If you want to catch us in person please feel free to stop by the cheese counter or you can attend our March Beer Tasting on Thursday, March 12th where we’ll be pouring our St. Patrick’s Day favorites (sign up at customer service). Either way we look forward to seeing you soon!
