Friday - 9th 4:30pm to 6:30pm Ever wondered what real Aussie beer tastes like ( not Fosters )? The Australian micro brew scene is at last coming of age and Coopers Brewing <http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001ZlrQKzp5zY5XmX4KHO1l9asWG9RREcHfKZa_0tKMo-_Iqr9U g5CUQfGDwn07CkPpA7YCpMFGB33aev_cXNNwCpzvqZe8Xmiu8xMilXyRQLlgGZB69JPfAw==> is one of the originals, every beer is bottle conditioned ( Live yeast in the beer ) and very full flavoured. Friday the 9th from 4:30pm till 6:30pm we'll be opening all the Coopers beers. It's free, just come on down and try some! Beer prices are going up! I know none of you want to hear that but unfortunately it's true. Over the next few weeks we're going to see pretty substantial price increases from most of the micro breweries you know and love. Two that have already taken place are Bells Brewery and Tyranena. This will also include the price of Bells Hopslam this year. Bummer! Still, compared to fine wine, good beer is amazingly cheap. Bells Hop Slam Pre-Order It's almost time for HopSlam, January 19th is the date it will arrive at my Distributor. This is without a doubt the most highly requested beer I've ever encountered. Needless to say it will go quickly. This year the price has increased. $16.79 per six pack. If you want to pre order a case come down to the store before the 19th and we can set you up. The only way to hold a case is pre order, no discounts, no rain checks, simply first in first served. Good luck! Meantime Coffee Porter An English Coffee beer? 2006 WORLD BEER CUP GOLD MEDAL This Coffee Beer is made with real coffee and has a caffeine hit to match. The natural flavours of the beans selected and hand roasted by the Union Coffee Roasters go well with the roast barley in the beer to give a silky-smooth drink with distinct chocolate and vanilla notes.

Barleywines, IPA, Double IPA and all manner of over-the-top beers sparked her creative impulse and the result is Hop-It. Brewed with only one malt (pils) and three hops (Saaz, Styrian Goldings and Magnum), it's a truly unique beer for hop lovers. Urthel Hop-it <http://origin.ih.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102140918849/img/72.png?a=11024 01504900> Fullers Vintage Ale Since 1997, Vintage Ale has been the crème de la crème for Fuller's. It has won a many awards around the world and given us recognition for being a World-Class Brewer. This year, we have released only 1,600 cases to North America - each bottle is numbered. Though Vintage Ale 2008 is good for drinking today, it is also ready to lie down in your cellar reaching peak condition in three or four years. We recommend Vintage Ale 2008 be consumed at cellar temperature or 52ºF or 10ºC. Pour it slowly into a Cognac balloon and allow the beer to breathe. Then sip it on its own or with a fine cheese and feel the warmth of the season come upon you.
