You can also jump over to our liquor blog if spirits are your preferred beverage. And if wine is the type of alcohol you love, check out our wine blog for thoughts and opinions on all things wine.

Or feel free to come in to meet us at one or our weekly alcohol tasting events. Leave the computer behind and talk to us face to face about your favorite beer, while sampling beer that breweries and distributors are bringing in for our customers to try.
Looks Like Another Good Beer Delivery Day for Colonial Spirits!
Great beer delivery day here and a plethora of styles! We have the ubiquitous IPA and Double IPA, but we also have barrel-aged sours, a berliner weisse, witbier, a blueberry-peach cobbler cider, pale ale, golden ale and variations on each! Almost every example is local too!
A Bunch of New Beers We’ve Gotten in Over the Last Few Days!
A bunch of new beers from the last few days in several different styles!
Some of the Best German Beer We’ve Ever Tasted
This is a stellar lineup of German beer. They can be just as exciting as any modern American hoppy beer, either in their simplicity or in their innovation, as is the case of the dry-hopped lager on the right by Braukunst Keller (and it’s the best example I’ve tried, at that).
I felt compelled to get the word out about these. This importer is claiming to be on the lookout for freshness, a problem which has, mostly unknowingly to consumers, plagued the German beer market for some time. These beers also have understandable dating on them (another problem with most imported beers).
I will also say, I had the Distelhauser Landbier (classified as a German Dunkel lager) with some German-made Bratwurst the other night and it was one of those pairings that changes your perception of food and beverage permanently. The pilsner is creamy and malty, the Friedenfelser is my personal favorite weissbier I can remember having. The Riedenburger pilsner is one of two beers in Germany made with a certified organic water source (which as you can imagine, is very difficult to prove). Not only that but these are great values as far as some German imports go.
