Would you like your beer labels on here? Send me an e-mail. Now, let's get to the pics... Cheers!
REDHOOK: HOLY PISS! A new REDHOOK, one of them being a F*#%ING Barley Wine! Why doesn't the Woodinville location do this? Yup, these aren't available locally. Many thanks to a Beer Advocate by the name of Jeff for providing me these lovely samples. I like how REDHOOK started in Seattle, were pioneers of their day, but now are producing styles like Barley Wine back east at the Portsmouth New Hampshire facility. Woodinville... what's the deal? Oh, I almost forgot to include their Autumnal offering. REDHOOK (Portsmouth) did this before, they just changed up their label for 2007. For todays update, I decided to do Coffee oriented beers. What are the chances REDHOOK brings back their Double Black Stout? If its done, how much do you want to bet it comes out of New Hampshire? Enough of my rant... here them labels:
JANUARY 4, 2008
ALASKAN: ALASKAN Barley Wine Ale is here! I've always wondered that when I have had it on draught and enjoyed it, why they never did bottle it. I hope they turn this into a seasonal much like their Smoked Porter:
DESCHUTES: This one from DESCHUTES snuck up on me, their first organic offering, Green Lakes Organic Ale. In other news, The Abyss should be available in a few weeks:
FULL SAIL: I found labels for some new offerings by FULL SAIL. Imperial Stout should be available in March, the Nut Brown in April, and the Prodigal Sun IPA in June:
JANUARY 1, 2008
SIERRA NEVADA: I spied some new label approvals for SIERRA NEVADA, a new face for Bigfoot and also a new release that should be out very soon, an ESB. I now know where to go to find out the good stuff:
DECEMBER 25, 2007
ALASKAN: Beginning early next year, Big Nugget Barley Wine from ALASKAN BREWING will be available in 22oz bottles. Bout time!
DECEMBER 16, 2007
LEFT HAND/MAD RIVER: For those that may be unaware, LEFT HAND is now avialable in Washington State. Just recently Snow Bound has made its entrance as LEFT HAND'S Winter offering. MAD RIVER, which is also now available again in Washington, also released their Winter seasonal, John Barleycorn Barleywine Ale 2007:
NOVEMBER 28, 2007
ANCHOR/LAUGHING DOG/PIKE: ANCHOR released their annual Winter offering Our Special Ale 2007, while LAUGHING DOG and PIKE bottled, for the first time I believe, their Winter beers, Cold Nose Winter Ale and Auld Acquaintance:
NOVEMBER 10, 2007
LAZY BOY: Looks like a new Winter seasonal for Washington, this one from LAZY BOY. I believe the beer may have been brewed last year, but this is the first time I have seen it in bottles:
NOVEMBER 7, 2007
ARCADIA/MICHIGAN/NEW HOLLAND/O'FALLON/SCHLAFLY: Thanks to several more folks on RateBeer, I was able to aquire even more Pumpkin Ales this season. While it is past Halloween, Pumpkin Ales are still popular for Thanksgiving. To see my entire list of Pumpkins click HERE!
NOVEMBER 4, 2007
SAMUEL SMITH'S: Another year, another label for SAMUEL SMITH'S Winter Welcome Ale. Many thanks to Craig Hartinger of Merchant du Vin for providing me with this latest release, as well as several other goodies from Westmalle, Green's, and Žatecký. You can see them all on todays update. Thanks again Craig!
OCTOBER 20, 2007
BRIDGEPORT: I feel sorry for all those folks outside of Portland who won't get a chance to try Hop Harvest Ale from BRIDGEPORT. This is one of the best "Fresh Hop" or "Harvest" ales I have ever had. If you have the opportunity to try it, do not pass it up. Well done Bridgeport!
CAPE ANN/SOUTHERN TIER: Thanks to several folks on RateBeer, I was able to aquire some more Pumpkin Ales. CAPE ANN is my first Pumpkin Stout, while SOUTHERN TIER tastes exacly like Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream. Both great beers:
DESCHUTES: It has begun, several winter beers are now on the shelves including DESCHUTES Jubelale. As with other years, it's a new label. This one doesn't really make me feel all wintery tho. Oddly enough, I think of Spring when I look at it. Judge for yourself:
OCTOBER 8, 2007
SIERRA NEVADA: Its here, Harvest from SIERRA NEVADA. Seems as of late that they have been bottling more and more of the their beers. Thumbs Up!
SEPTEMBER 29, 2007
BLUE MOON/SHIPYARD/SOUTHAMPTON: I found a few more local Pumpkin Beers, BLUE MOON reworking their label and SHIPYARD being new to the area. I also decided to add one that I tried last year and wished was available out here, SOUTHAMPTON:
BRIDGEPORT/SIERRA NEVADA: It is my understanding that BRIDGEPORT will be releasing their Hop Harvest Ale in 22oz bottles very soon, if not already. I also heard that SIERRA NEVADA will be bottling their Harvest Ale. I'll post em if I get em.
PYRAMID: What the hell is this, Imperial Hefeweizen Ale from PYRAMID?!?! I cannot remember the last time these guys bottled something new. I am glad to see they are finally changing things up a bit. I also found out that they will be doing an IIPA, due out sometime this Winter. Kudos to PYRAMID for starting up this Brewer's Reserve line!
SEPTEMBER 2, 2007
BARON/BUFFALO BILLS/PYRAMID: Tiz that time of year again. BARON was out last year but I missed the update. BUFFALO BILLS and PYRAMID both reworked their labels:
JULY 16, 2007
GREAT DIVIDE: Here are the two newest from GREAT DIVIDE, Hades and Samurai Ale:
JULY 7, 2007
DE PROEF: Alan Shapiro from SBS Imports brought to my attention a new collaborative beer between DE PROEF and PORT BREWING that should be available in bottles this fall. I believe it is currently offered to those in the Michael Jackson Rare Beer Club. Thanks for the heads up Alan!
GREAT DIVIDE: Within the next week or two we should see two new brews from GREAT DIVIDE, Samurai and Hades.
PORT BREWING/THE LOST ABBEY: Somewhat related to the first news item above, beginning September 1st PORT BREWING and THE LOST ABBEY should be available in the state of Washington. Thanks to Matt Younts of Click Distributing for the news!
STONE: What better beer to showcase on 07/07/07 than Stone Vertical Epic 07.07.07. Its been out for a few weeks, and likely won't be around for long, so best get out there and find some:
JULY 4, 2007
BOULDER BEER: BOULDER BEER has been in Washington for a few months now, Cold Hop being the latest arrival. Usually I know of these things before they show up, but this one just appeared yesterday:
JOLLY PUMPKIN: Good news for those who travel to Portland to pick up JOLLY PUMPKIN. It is now available in Seattle! So far I have seen Bam Biere, Calabaza Blanca, La Roja, and Oro de Calabaza. Now if I could just get Ron Jeffries to send us some Bičre de Mars Grand Reserve and Perseguidor!
FEBRUARY 21, 2007
FLYERS: FLYERS is the chosen brewer to do this years Bottleworks Anniversary brew. This time around it is going to be a monsterous 10.9% Scotch Ale. Due to release around March 10th at Bottleworks. Here is the 22oz label as it was sent to me:
REDHOOK: Looks like a new one from REDHOOK. I have yet to try it, but wondering if this Long Hammer IPA is realy any different from their standard Ballard Bitter:
WIDMER BROTHERS: The latest WIDMER BROTHERS Brewmaster's Release is out, this time a Pale Ale. I can only guess that next year will either be and Extra Pale Ale or an Imperial IPA the way this is going. Change it up a bit why don't ya!
FEBRUARY 18, 2007
BISON: I received an email from Alan Shapiro of SBS-Imports stating that he and Pete Slosberg (of Pete's Wicked Ales) are creating a charity beer to benefit the The Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research. Shown below is the label that will appear on the 22oz Imperial Brown Ale bottles. More information can be found at www.reunionbeer.com
NWMICROBREWS: Several new beers/labels came out in the past few weeks, namely BRIDGEPORT Beer Town Brown, DESCHUTES Hop Henge Imperial IPA, HALE'S ALES Troll Porter, Full Sail LTD, NEW BELGIUM Springboard Ale, and the re-release of PIKE Old Bawdy, but I chose to display this one simply because this is the first offering from LAZY BOY BREWING that I have seen in a bottle. Hopefully more are on their way!
PELICAN: Those in Oregon may already know, but it looks as if PELICAN PUB & BREWERY has bottled their Grand Cru de Pelican. Looks like I need to make another trip to Portland.
FEBRUARY 15, 2007
NWMICROBREWS: Nope, you read that right, FEBRUARY 15 2007! Work and travel have kept me so busy that I just haven't had the time to keep the site updated. However, my passion for new labels hasn't dwindled at all. I've amassed hundreds and hundreds of labels, so many that I finally need to do something about it. Anyways, my plans are to once again update the site every three days. For todays update I want to share the more memorable beers from this past year. Enjoy!
FEBRUARY 12, 2006
WIDMER BROTHERS: Even more goodness from Oregon. I was pretty pleased with this one, more so than their W'05 India Pale Ale. It will be interesting to see what WIDMER BROTHERS does for their W'07 Brewmasters' Release:
FEBRUARY 6, 2006
DESCHUTES: More Oregon goodness, this time from DESCHUTES. I had heard rumors about Mirror Mirror being bottled long ago, but was somewhat surprised to see them actually do it. The Hop Henge is another in their Bond Street Series:
FEBRUARY 3, 2006
BRIDGEPORT: Yet another release from a brewer in which I have not seen anything new for ages, this time from BRIDGEPORT, with their Belgianesque Blonde Ale aptly named Supris:
