Coopers Sampling
event. 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 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.

Urthel Hop-It Super Hoppy
Belgian
Hildegard returned from the
Anchorage Barleywine Festival inspired by the wonderfully
hoppy beers she tried there. 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.

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.
