Joe Canals Iselin (Woodbridge) and Lawrenceville events and special growler fills!

Iselin (Woodbridge)

January 27 –  Weyerbacher Heresy Vintage 2011*
This is an incredibly intriguing ale is made by aging  Old Heathen Imperial Stout in oak barrels that were used for making fine Kentucky bourbon!  The result is an extraordinary, dark, and mysterious stout whose very essence has been enhanced.  The aroma is filled with vanilla, cocoa, and roasted coffee beans.  This silky-smooth brew has notes of oak, whiskey, roasted barley and vanilla that meld together on the tongue to create an incredible sensation.

January 28 – Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Vintage 2012*
Sierra Nevada Bigfoot is an award winning example of the English Barley Wine style. It boasts a dense, fruity bouquet; an extremely rich, intense, bittersweet palate; and a deep, reddish-brown color. This ale is superbly balanced between an almost overpowering maltiness and a wonderfully bittersweet hoppiness.

January 29 – Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout Vintage 2012*
Available from October through March.  This is the famous Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout, our award-winning rendition of the imperial stout style, once made exclusively for Catherine the Great.  10.1% ABV

January 30 – Southern Tier Pumking*
Pumking is an ode to Púca, a creature of Celtic folklore, who is both feared and respected by those who believe in it. Púca is said to waylay travelers throughout the night, tossing them on its back, and providing them the ride of their lives, from whichthey return forever changed! Brewed in the spirit of All Hallows Eve, a time of year when spirits can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent. Pour Pumking into a goblet and allow it’s alluring spirit to overflow. As spicy aromas present themselves, let its deep copper color entrance you as your journey into this mystical brew has just begun. As the first drops touch your tongue a magical spell will bewitch your taste buds making it difficult to escape. This beer is brewed with pagan spirit   yet should be enjoyed responsibly. 8.6% ABV.

January 31 – Sly Fox Pale Ale Firkin*
A bold American Pale Ale brewed with imported Pale and Crystal malts and hopped with Centennial and Cascade hops from the Pacific Northwest. Copper in color, medium-bodied and spicy. 40 IBU’s

February 1 – Weyerbacher Insanity Vintage 2012*
Insanity is made by aging the perfectly balanced Blithering Idiot Barley wine in oak bourbon casks. This incredible combination creates a melange of flavors such as malt, dates, oak, vanilla, and bourbon just to name a few. This beer is best enjoyed on its own as a digestif, and could be paired with a quality Cuban cigar. 8% ABV.

Lawrenceville

January 23 –  Troegs Mad Elf*
The Mad Elf, a cheerful creation to warm your heart and enlighten your tongue. The combination of Cherries, Honey, and Chocolate Malts delivers gentle fruits and subtle spices. Fermented and aged with a unique yeast, this ruby red beer has significant warming strength that underlies the pleasant character of this intriguing yet delicious Ale. The Mad Elf, a jolly and delicious beer for the Holidays. 11% ABV
World Wide Stout is one of the world’s strongest dark beers. It is brewed using six different yeast strains over seven months and then aged for half a year. Dark, rich, roasty, and complex, World Wide Stout has more in common with a fine port than a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer

January 24 –  Weyerbacher Quad
Grand Champion in the 2000, and again in 2004 at United States Beer Tasting Championship, Weyerbacher QUAD was the first quadrupel style beer to be commercially brewed and bottled in the United States. In December 2002 QUAD won Mid-Atlantic Champion at the USBTC for the third year in a row.

January 25 – Stone Double Bastard
This is one lacerative muther of an ale. It is unequivocally certain that your feeble palate is grossly inadequate and thus undeserving of this liquid glory…and those around you would have little desire to listen to your resultant whimpering. 

January 26 – Dogfish Head Olde School*
Bold, yet smooth! Fermented with dates and figs, this bone-crusher has a completely unique flavor.

January 27 – Southern Tier Pumking*
Pumking is an ode to Púca, a creature of Celtic folklore, who is both feared and respected by those who believe in it. Púca is said to waylay travelers throughout the night, tossing them on its back, and providing them the ride of their lives, from whichthey return forever changed! Brewed in the spirit of All Hallows Eve, a time of year when spirits can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent. Pour Pumking into a goblet and allow it’s alluring spirit to overflow. As spicy aromas present themselves, let its deep copper color entrance you as your journey into this mystical brew has just begun. As the first drops touch your tongue a magical spell will bewitch your taste buds making it difficult to escape. This beer is brewed with pagan spirit   yet should be enjoyed responsibly. 8.6% ABV.

January 28 – Founders Backwoods Bastard*
Big and delicious for your ’perty mouth. Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts. A bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark cherries. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the palate.

January 29 – Founders Rubaeus
Rübæus is Founders’ way to celebrate the season’s warmest months. Optimizing the flavor of fresh raspberries added at multiple stages during fermentation, this stunning berry red masterpiece is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. No question about it, with a hefty malt bill and 5.7% ABV, this beer is 100% Founders.

January 30 – Dogfish Head Bitches Brew*
The newly created ale is designed, according to Dogfish founder and president Sam Calagione, “as the ultimate partner for chili or spicy curry chicken” and best enjoyed “sipped cool, not cold, from a snifter or red wine glass while listening to (the Miles Davis) Bitches Brew album.”  Bitches Brew is a bold, dark beer that’s a fusion of three threads imperial stout and one thread honey beer with gesho root, a gustatory analog to Miles’ masterpiece.

January 31 – Dogfish Head American Beauty*
More than 1,500 loyal fans of the brewery and band suggested an ingredient idea and the Dead-inspired story behind it. Our favorite was granola, from California Dead Head and craft beer lover Thomas Butler. “The components of granola – honey, toasted grains, oats and fruit – offer a lot from a beer perspective,” says Thomas, a chemist by day, homebrewer by night. “The idea is to have a bold pale ale that highlights the oats and honey with a nice ‘dank’ hop selection.” American Beauty is brewed with all-American malts and hops, granola and little bit of soul. It’s malty with a big hop kick, and notes of toasted almond and honey round out the flavor profile and balance out the hop bitterness.

February 1 – Dogfish Head Worldwide Stout Vintage 2012*
World Wide Stout is one of the world’s strongest dark beers. It is brewed using six different yeast strains over seven months and then aged for half a year. Dark, rich, roasty, and complex, World Wide Stout has more in common with a fine port than a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer.

* indicates a limit of one 32 ounce purchase per person. You must be 21 or older, with valid ID, to sample or purchase alcoholic beverages. Subject to change without notice.
