Beer of the Month - September

De Proef Brouwerij Lochristi, Gent, Belgium

De Proef Brewmaster's Collection
Monstre Rogue 750ml $15.96

In 1996 highly regarded brewing engineer and professor, Dirk Naudts, created De Proef Brouwerij in the village of Lochristi, near the historic city of Gent, Belgium. The ultra-scientific brewery blends modern equipment and technologies with traditional brewing methods. Each beer is crafted in an 11 hectolitre (9 U.S. barrel) brewhouse that Michael Jackson once described as "the ultimate toy for the aspiring homebrewer."
The flexible nature of the brewery enables Naudts to create an impressive range of traditional and not so traditional ales. His ability to design and brew unique products is showcased in the De Proef Brewmaster's Collection.

Ballast Point

We featured Ballast Point at our July Beer Tasting and the overflow crowd loved every drop, natch. Almost 15 years after its inception (homebrew shop opened in 1992, brewery in 1996), Ballast Point Brewing’s dedicated team of craftsmen (and women) is still innovating, trying new methods and ingredients, and working constantly to increase capacity to try to meet demand. More than anything, they are staying true to Jack White's dream, and their own... Real beer lovers making real, good beer.

Noble Ale Works is a microbrewery located in Anaheim, California at the Stadium Plaza Business Park in the Platinum Triangle (they are located between the Angels Stadium and the Honda Center). Their stated goal is to create and maintain high quality, full-flavored craft brews for those who can handle it. "We are not here to convert light or non-beer drinkers; our beer is for people that already appreciate craft beer." They don't skimp on quality or freshness of ingredients and it shows in the high quality brews they produce.  We tried these beers and found them very tasty, well-hopped and balanced-- great new summer brews!

Goose Island Beer Co.

When the first Goose Island Brewpub opened its doors in 1988, domestic, mass-produced beer was deeply ingrained in Midwestern culture. The craft beer industry was still in its infancy, with only a handful of brewpubs in existence in the Midwest. In his travels across Europe, beer-lover John Hall had enjoyed a distinctive local brew in each region he visited. Hall was convinced that Midwesterners could produce beers as good or better than those he’d tasted in his travels. Living on the shore of the largest system of fresh water on the planet Earth, in a city with rapidly evolving tastes – John decided his hometown, Chicago, would be the ideal place to do just that.

The key to building interest in craft beer, Hall decided, was to allow consumers to watch the brewing process – while providing them with the then-novel experience of enjoying a wide variety of distinctive beers that had been produced on-site. Hall wanted to not only cater to his customers’ tastes, but to challenge them as well. Goose Island’s brewers set to work crafting a diverse selection of unique beers – and on Friday, May 13, 1988 the Goose Island Brewpub was born.

It turned out that John was right; Chicagoans palates evolved rapidly once Goose Island’s Brewpub opened its doors and introduced the city to distinctive craft beer. By 1995, the brewpub had become so popular that John Hall and his son Greg, who had by then become Goose Island’s brewmaster, decided to open a larger brewery and bottling plant to keep up with demand.

Today, Goose Island continues to brew an innovative selection of over 50 craft beers at the brewpub, the best of which are then bottled at their Fulton Street brewery. The company currently ships its beers to 15 states and the U.K.

Pere Jacques 2010 Belgian Style Ale

Brewmasters Notes:" Brewed with loads of malt and Belgian yeast, Pere Jacques is a wonderfully fruity, malty ale. Pere Jacques’ complex flavors stand shoulder to shoulder with the Belgian Dubbels enjoyed in the world’s finest beer bars. At the dining table it’s the perfect alternative to a glass of vintage port."

$7.76 22oz. Bottle [471403]

Bourbon County Stout 2009

Brewmasters Notes: "Brewed in honor of the 1000th batch at our original Clybourn brewpub. A liquid as dark and dense as a black hole with thick foam the color of a bourbon barrel. The nose is an intense mix of charred oak, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and smoke. One sip has more flavor than your average case of beer. A great cigar beer."

$11.99 22oz. Bottle [471165]

Sofie 2010 Belgian Style Ale

Brewmasters Notes: "Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie is a tart, dry, sparkling ale. A subtle, spicy white pepper note, a hint of citrus from the orange peel and a creamy vanilla finish make Sofie an intriguing choice for Champagne drinkers and beer drinkers who are fond of Belgian Saisons."

$7.76 22oz. Bottle [471402]
