Carry Out

You will be limited to a single bottle. Also new from Bell's is the release of Oarsman, a neo-berlinerweiss style ale. Though it has been available on draught in some places this will be the first time bottles are available.
Also picking up sour beer extrordanaire, La Roja, Jolly Pumpkin's Flemmish red. It's amazing. Also getting a case of the super limited Breckenridge Imperial Pilsner. Speaking of super limited, we have Gumballhead. We have Lord Admiral Nelson's ESB. We have Moloko Milk Stout. We have Ocktoberfest Mini-kegs.
One other new addition to the shelves, a third beer from the Sierra Nevada Anniversary series, a black Barley Wine. Buy two; one for now and the other for 2015.
