New Image Brewing 🍻 Hecka Phantastic Phantasm IPA 🍻

The newest IPA from Arvada’s New Image Brewing uses Phantasm—a new, much sought after ingredient from New Zealand. For those not in the know, Phantasm is a powder made from freeze-dried Sauvignon Blanc grapes, used to amp up tropical flavors and aromas in beer. Hecka Phantastic pours a glowing hazy golden
hue, exuding rich aromas of citrus peel, Juicy Fruit gum, and cotton candy. A luscious all wheat grain bill keeps the mouthfeel pillowy and hides the considerable strength—7.5% abv. Hopped with “The Bruce”—a blend of 4 NZ hops, as well as New Zealand grown Cascade, the flavors in the IPA are a good mix of new wave tropical and old school citruc. Hecka delicious!

At Deviation Distilling, their philosophy is to challenge the traditional manufacturing of spirits. They push the limits of what a truly artisan spirit can be by borrowing from tradition, leveraging Colorado grown grain, and applying unique techniques based on their custom-built equipment. Deviation takes pride in their Grain-to-Glass process that results in handcrafted small batch spirits with superior quality and unmatched flavor.

Mountain Herb Gin * Rosemary & Sage
Crafted from the same four grain mash bill as our bourbon, Mountain Herb Gin is patiently distilled to let the complexity of the grain balance the intensity of wild foraged Rocky Mountain botanicals. Native juniper, white sage, rosemary and spruce tips result in an ultra premium gin that embodies the spirit of the backcountry.

Spice Trade Gin * Peppercorn & Thai Basil
As with our rye whiskey, Spice Trade Gin is crafted entirely of malted rye, yielding complex notes of baking spices. Szechuan pepper- corns, cardamom, Thai basil, and ginger heighten the flavor of the grain, resulting in an ultra premium gin that feels truly exotic.

Citrus Rosé Gin * Grapefruit & Tarragon
Like our American single malt whiskey, Citrus Rosé Gin begins with a 100% malted barley mash bill. Grapefruit, tangerine, lavender, and tarragon complement the delicate, floral flavor of the grain, yielding a bright ultra pre- mium gin that is delightfully pink.

Made from local, organic, single source cow’s milk from Straus Family Creamery. Mt. Tam has a fudgy firmness but has a buttery rich flavor profile that ranges from crème fraiche when it’s young to deep mushroom when it’s nice and ripe.

✨ 2020 Ameztoi Txakolina Stimatum Tinto ✨

$4 off per bottle with code ‘easyred' 🍷

Ameztoi (ah-mehs-toy) produces wine from vineyards high on the seaside cliffs overlooking the Bay of Biscay in Spanish Basque country. This wine is 100% Hondarrabi Beltza. It is the main dark-skinned variety of the Basque region of Spain, the only place it is grown. Believed to be descended from Cabernet Franc, it is used to make Txakoli (pronounced Chac-o-lee) wine in both red and rosé (rosado) styles.

This wine's balance of bright acidity, slight effervescence, and firm tannins make it a unique experience not to be missed out on! "Stimatum," translated to esteemed in English, is a wonderful reflection of traditional Basque reds.

Notes of spices and cloves add intrigue to fresh carbonic notes of cranberry, redcurrant and raspberry while bright acidity gives lightness to the wine's firm, young tannins. This wine is great with BBQ on a hot day!

🥂 When you drink Prosecco, make the Superiore choice! 🥂

The region in northern Italy near Venice is blessed with stony soils and a moderate Adriatic climate and is home to the indigenous grapes that are used in Prosecco. The most important grape here is Glera; Prosecco Superiore must be made with at least 85% of this variety.

Because the hillsides here are so steep grapes can only be harvested by hand, creating handcrafted wines from the vineyard to the bottle. In Prosecco DOCG, 95% of wines are classified as spumante (sparkling), and Prosecco Superiore comes in varying levels of sweetness, from dry to sweet.

Believe it or not, the sweetest is labeled Dry, and this moderately sweet style of Prosecco DOCG is terrific with spicy foods or fruit tarts. Extra Dry falls in the mid-range on the sweetness scale. The driest Prosecco Superiore is labeled Brut, and it will feature fine bubbles and lively citrus flavors with a hint of toast. When choosing Prosecco, look for the DOCG strip on the bottle, along with the name Conegliano or Valdobbiadene (or both), plus the word Superiore!

Already dreaming about the weekend? We have the Perfect Brunch Cocktail, it’s a riff on the Bellini made famous by Harry's Bar in Venice 🍹

💫 Brasserie Fantôme Arrival 💫
✨ Limited Quantities ✨

Founded in 1988 by Dany Prignon, Brasserie Fantôme has been producing sought-after saisons and farmhouse ales for over 30 years. Located within the Ardennes in the small village of Soy, the stone farmhouse that houses the brewery is as much of a pilgrimage location as any of the Belgian Trappist abbeys or lambic breweries. Dany runs all of the operations at the brewery, from making and bottling the beer to manning the small taproom. His solely produces saison, often using unique blends of grains or experimental adjunct ingredients. Although practically unknown within Belgium, the beers of Brasserie Fantôme have been a favorite of connoisseurs abroad for decades.

Brasserie Fantôme Saison 🍻
The flagship saison of Fantôme, this fruity iteration of the classic Belgian farmhouse style is higher in alcohol than most of its peers, clocking in at 8% abv. Pours a cloudy orange with active carbonation creating a pillowy head with real staying power. A complex malt base lays the foundation for nuanced fruit and spice to play upon, bringing out notes of citrus, stonefruit, pepper, and subtle barnyard funk.

Brasserie Fantôme Pissenlit 🍻
This unique saison is brewed with dandelions! The flowers are picked in the springtime from the area around the brewery, dried in the sun, and steeped in water for a few days to make a tea that is then blended with the beer. Pouring a hazy golden-amber, the dandelions add an earthiness that works well with the citrus and spice quality Fantôme is known for. Excellent carbonation and a dry finish, this 8% abv saison will be one if the most unique farmhouse ales you will try.

Brasserie Fantôme Été Light IPA 🍻
Été means “summer” in French, and this beer was specifically crafted for the warmer months. Using a saison base to showcase some earthy European hops, this 7.5% abv offering is a bitter, thirst-quenching delight! Notes of orange and herbs are at the forefront, with an underlying subtle funk. This is not your American style IPA, but it is certainly bitter, and a very unconventional take on the saison style. ...
