Choklat stout
Imperial Chocolate Stout
the ancients called it 'food for the gods'
The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around
a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, we’re not surprised that hieroglyphs
of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many
voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples.
Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been realized in our brewing house,
encompassing the complexity of the darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original
frothy cold beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series Choklat Stout.
We have combined the finest ingredients to tempt your senses
& renew the power & interrelation of history in every bottle.
11.0% abv • Imperial Chocolate Stout
2-row barley / caramel 60 malt / barley flakes / chocolate malt /
bittersweet Belgian chocolate / kettle hops: chinook & willamette

Krampus Imperial Helles Lager
St. Nicholas, aka Santa Claus, is a magical figure, the bringer of gifts and an icon of
holiday spirit. Forgotten by most is his evil side kick and enforcer of ‘the list’.
European tradition says while St. Nick is busy delivering presents to good little boys and girls,
Krampus hands out punishments to the bad. A fanged, goat-horned bully, the Christmas Devil
uses sticks and chains to beat the naughty children. Dark malts and aromatic hops create
the diabolical spirit of this brew. It is finished with lager yeast and aged cold
for no less than 30 days. This Imperial Helles Lager will warm even the darkest hearts.
9.0% abv.

Gemini Imperial Blended Ale
blended unearthly & unfiltered hoppe
High in the winter sky, two parallel stick figures are visible & known as “the twins,” or the
constellation Gemini. The astronauts of the 1960s flew as teams of two in a program
named after the celestial pairing. At Southern Tier, we have our own fraternal twins,
Hoppe & Unearthly. Blended together & placed in this vessel, the mission of our Gemini
is to travel high & take passengers on a journey far into the heavens.
10.5% abv

Phin & Matt’s
brewed with American hops & barley
When we sat down to collaborate on this beer, we knew we had to create something extraordinary.
After sampling a wide array of great beers, we hit upon an idea: use vast amounts of whole hops,
the finest malted barley North America has to offer, and crystal filtered artesian water.
Thus creating this classic American style pale ale.
5.6% abv • 6.9ºL • American Pale Ale



IPA
the iso-alpha acid experience
IPA stands for India Pale Ale and ours is an American version of the classic style.
IPA’s namesake lies in its colonial roots. British soldiers on their way to India drank a lot of beer,
but found it would go stale on the long voyages. Meanwhile, brewers knew that by adding more
hops the beer would stay fresh. Voila! A new style was born and it is one we are proud to brew.
Southern Tier IPA is tripled on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.
6.5% abv • 11.2ºL • India Pale Ale

"…best beer ever made in America."

This is a two glass per person ale, any more & you will fall down, do the dying fly & have your picture taken by us & posted on the internet....BE WARNED!


SMUTTYNOSE WINTER ALE

Smuttynose Winter Ale is a full-bodied, amber beer brewed with a special Trappist ale yeast. Stylistically reminiscent of a Belgian Abbey Double, it features fruity aromas and flavor, balanced by soft Crystal hops. Warming, mellow & pleasantly complex, Smuttynose Winter Ale is your perfect cold weather companion.

Available in sixpacks and on draft from late October through January.

ABV 4.8%


OMMEGANG CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE

Chocolate Indulgence comes with a thick tan head of foam resting on top of the rich onyx-colored liquid. The aroma immediately speaks of dark chocolate and dark malts. The gentle herbal nose of Perle hops compliments the darker notes, making the beer savory to the senses.

The taste continues with the intense Belgian dark chocolate gliding across the tongue; starting sweet up front but giving way to rich cocoa flavors at the back. Through it all, a subtle fruitiness from our special Belgian yeast gives the beer brightness otherwise foreign to a beer style normally associated with gray foggy skies.

ABV 7.0%


ARCADIA "CEREAL KILLER" BARLEY WINE

Deep reddish / orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, fruity, oranges, citrus and some dark fruits. Tastes of caramel, citrus, fruity, and toffee. Light alcohol finish.

ABV 9.0%

Prohibition Bash!!




So this coming Friday December 5th 2008 from exactly 5:32 1/2PM onwards, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition!!!!
Unlike the days of "temperance" you will not need a password to get in, nor will you have to run out the back door for fear of being arrested for.......drinking.
Come and hang for some prohibition inspired cocktails like the:
Mary Pickford
Colony cocktail
Old Fashioned
French 75
Amendment 21

Also, we'll be having specials on Budweiser and Yuengling, as a nod to their both delivering a truckload of beer to the White House the day of and, the day after, respectively, of the repeal in 1933, which is interesting because it takes more than a day to make beer.....
ok check here for more updates but let's have some fun maybe we could show the untouchables and play oldtimey music any suggestions? let us know
Cheers!
Oh and Carey Nation, this Friday goes out to you
The Safe Haven Crew
