Abbey-Style Beers

Abbey-Style Beers may or may not have a historical connection to an abbey and they may or may not pay royalties to a monastery. They are always beers of a style commonly associated with monastic brewing traditions. In some cases, a historic abbey sold or licensed a private company the rights to their name and recipes. In most though, there was never a connection between the brand and the Catholic Church

St. Bernardus

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer only for themselves. For beers for sale to the public, they gave a license to the nearby cheese factory, and brewery St. Bernardus was founded. (Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Authentic Trappist Beers

Monastic brewing dates back to the Middle Ages, while Trappist brewing is thought to have began in the mid 1600s. Today, only ten Trappist breweries remain. Five in Belgium and one each in the Netherlands, Italy, England, France and Spain. To carry the Authentic Trappist Product label, breweries must meet strict standards set by the International Trappist Association (ITA). The beer must be brewed within a working monastery under monastic supervision, with monks directly involved in the process. Profits support the monastery and its charitable work. Despite modern challenges, such as rising production costs and fewer monks, Trappist beers remain one of the most distinctive and respected traditions in the brewing world

Brouwerij Girardin is a small family-owned lambic brewery in the village of Sint-Ul- riks-Kapelle. The brewery sits on a farm established in 1845 as part of the estate of a nobleman. It was purchased by Franciscus-Alexius Girardin in 1882. Initially, the intent of the Girardin family was to farm for subsistence, while brewing as a secondary means of income. Little is known about the brewery's history between 1882 and the time of World War I. Girardin is a main supplier of wort to lambic blenders, including 3 Fonteinen, De Cam, and Hanssens

Gueuze 1882 (Black Label) 5%^^

Boon^^

The Boon Brewery is the life's work of Frank Boon, who is often referred to as the savior of Geuze. He took over a geuze blendery that was threatening to disappear in the late 1970s, determined to revive the local Geuze tradition. Beers are spon- taneously fermented, but more than anything, they are the result of well-planned craftsmanship. The dedication of the family business over the years has resulted in unique expertise in Lambic beers

Kriek 5%

Using old and young lambic beer that has aged in oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, they add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermentation. They then clarify, filter and bottle it. The cherries and young lambic create a red beer that is both natural and fresh, with an absolutely unforgettable sweet and sour taste. This is kriek as it should be, with nothing but real cherries and lambic

Hanssens Artisanaal^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Oude Gueuze 5.8%

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato: centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vine - yard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy.

The Johan Vineyard is one of the coldest growing sites in the valley, with morning fog and cooling ocean air snaking through the Van Duzer corridor directly from the coast. These sea breezes impart a saline character to the fruit, and help to maintain acidity levels. The result is a bright wine, richly layered with vibrant acidity and silky tannins. 13%

Sean Thackrey 2016 Andromeda (100% Pinot Noir) California

$60.00

This one was described by Sean this way: "More complex and deeply flavored than most of its California brethren, not least because several vineyard characteristics tilt it that way. Devil's Gulch is directly in the path of cool air sweeping in from the Pacific across Tomales Bay, but it is above the fog line; thus there's no lack of sunlight, hence excellent ripening, but little heat, hence no baked berries; and the wine interferes with pollination, guaranteeing a remarkably small yield, often less than one ton per acre. I have, as always, done everything to bring all this together into a uniquely expressive wine; perhaps it's not for those who want Pinot Noir to be light & with a few simple fruit and floral flavors, but it's certainly for those who want something wilder and more mysterious than that, as are so many of the greatest Burgundies, after all. Actually, I believe it; so we may safely conclude that I'm proud of it." 13.8% The antithesis of a corporate winemaker, Sean Thackrey is missed

Walt 2023 "La Brisa" Pinot Noir, Sonoma, California

$60.00

Articulating the signature characters of Sonoma's coast: vibrant and opulent with underlying brightness and length to the palate. Teeming with ripe red berries & spicy toasted aromas, the wine is lush and persistent on the mid-palate, long-lasting and delicate on the finish. The vineyards in the La Brisa blend, each blessed with cool maritime conditions and limit ing soil profiles, are farmed meticulously for low yields and balance in order to capitalize on their distinctive sites. The wines are never racked and during the long malolactic fermentation, they top and stir each barrel weekly. Prior to bottling, they blend the wines without fining or filtering. 14.5%

Notes of blackberry and blueberry, with hints of black pepper, oyster sauce and violets. Full-bodied and flavorful on the palate with ample, tight but caressing tannins. 14%

Abbazia di Novacella 2023 "Praepositus" (Kerner) Italy

$50.00

By far the most important producer in the hamlet of Novacella/Neustift in far northeast Italy, is the Abbazia, a 12th century monastery. The monks have taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, running their own working village AND running their own school of viticulture to teach about their winemaking traditions that go back, literally, millen- nia. The cantina dates to 1142—one of the oldest cellars in the world. The wines they make here, all from local grapes, are absolutely sensational; pure, focused and deeply flavored. None are better than the outstanding reserve-level wines called Praepositus, Latin for 'leader.' Here is the linearity, salinity, and precision one expects from this alpine region, but sourced from the very oldest and best sites on the estate, allowing for ultimate ripeness and expression. This vintage was harvested from very steep, organically-farmed vineyards sitting at around 700 meters. Aged solely in stainless, it is a richly textured, sumptuous wine aromatic of just-picked summer apricots, clove spice and lemon verbena before revealing its inner core of Golden Delicious apple, Asian pear and dried Acacia honey. 14.5%

New World

Chasing Harvest 2021 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit, de-stemmed and crushed, was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity, and remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%

Omer Vander Ghinste

When Omer Vander Ghinste started brewing in 1892 in the beautiful West Flemish village of Bellegem, brand names did not yet exist.

Therefore every firstborn son was baptized "Omer", a tradition still kept alive today, 130 years and 5 generations later!

Abbey-Style Beers

Abbey-Style Beers may or may not have a historical connection to an abbey and they may or may not pay royalties to a monastery.

In most though, there was never a connection between the brand and the Catholic Church

St. Bernardus

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer only for themselves. For beers for sale to the public, they gave a license to the nearby cheese factory, and brewery St. Bernardus was founded. (Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Authentic Trappist Beers

Monastic brewing dates back to the Middle Ages, while Trappist brewing is thought to have began in the mid 1600s. Today, only ten Trappist breweries remain. Five in Belgium and one each in the Netherlands, Italy, England, France and Spain. To carry the Authentic Trappist Product label, breweries must meet strict standards set by the International Trappist Association (ITA). The beer must be brewed within a working monastery under monastic supervision, with monks directly involved in the process. Profits support the monastery and its charitable work. Despite modern challenges, such as rising production costs and fewer monks, Trappist beers remain one of the most distinctive and respected traditions in the brewing world

Brouwerij Girardin is a small family-owned lambic brewery in the village of Sint-Ul- riks-Kapelle. The brewery sits on a farm established in 1845 as part of the estate of a nobleman. It was purchased by Franciscus-Alexius Girardin in 1882. Initially, the intent of the Girardin family was to farm for subsistence, while brewing as a secondary means of income. Little is known about the brewery's history between 1882 and the time of World War I. Girardin is a main supplier of wort to lambic blenders, including 3 Fonteinen, De Cam, and Hanssens

Gueuze 1882 (Black Label) 5%^^

Boon^^

The Boon Brewery is the life's work of Frank Boon, who is often referred to as the savior of Geuze. He took over a geuze blendery that was threatening to disappear in the late 1970s, determined to revive the local Geuze tradition. Beers are spon- taneously fermented, but more than anything, they are the result of well-planned craftsmanship. The dedication of the family business over the years has resulted in unique expertise in Lambic beers

Kriek 5%

Using old and young lambic beer that has aged in oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, they add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermentation. They then clarify, filter and bottle it. The cherries and young lambic create a red beer that is both natural and fresh, with an absolutely unforgettable sweet and sour taste. This is kriek as it should be, with nothing but real cherries and lambic

The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense

330ml $20.00

Hanssens Artisanaal^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Oude Gueuze 5.8%

$60.00

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato: centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vine - yard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy. The clusters from these ancient vines are picked in the first week of Sept., brought to the drying loft and allowed to dry naturally until mid- Oct., reducing a quarter of their weight. It requires lengthy matu ration and aging (70% French/30% Ameri can oak.) After 12 mos., the wine is blended from the various barrels, racked, and then aged another 12 mos. in the same barrels.

Minimus 2015 Origin Johan (100% Pinot Noir) Oregon

$60.00

This single vineyard Pinot Noir is truly something special. The Johan Vineyard is one of the coldest growing sites in the valley, with morning fog and cooling ocean air snaking through the Van Duzer corridor directly from the coast.

Sean Thackrey 2016 Andromeda (100% Pinot Noir) California

$60.00

This one was described by Sean this way: "More complex and deeply flavored than most of its California brethren, not least because several vineyard characteristics tilt it that way. Devil's Gulch is directly in the path of cool air sweeping in from the Pacific across Tomales Bay, but it is above the fog line; thus there's no lack of sunlight, hence excellent ripening, but little heat, hence no baked berries; and the wine interferes with pollination, guaranteeing a remarkably small yield, often less than one ton per acre. I have, as always, done everything to bring all this together into a uniquely expressive wine; perhaps it's not for those who want Pinot Noir to be light & with a few simple fruit and floral flavors, but it's certainly for those who want something wilder and more mysterious than that, as are so many of the greatest Burgundies, after all. Actually, I believe it; so we may safely conclude that I'm proud of it." 13.8% The antithesis of a corporate winemaker, Sean Thackrey is missed

Abbazia di Novacella 2023 "Praepositus" (Kerner) Italy

$50.00

By far the most important producer in the hamlet of Novacella/Neustift in far northeast Italy, is the Abbazia, a 12th century monastery. The monks have taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, running their own working village AND running their own school of viticulture to teach about their winemaking traditions that go back, literally, millen- nia. The cantina dates to 1142—one of the oldest cellars in the world. The wines they make here, all from local grapes, are absolutely sensational; pure, focused and deeply flavored. None are better than the outstanding reserve-level wines called Praepositus, Latin for 'leader.' Here is the linearity, salinity, and precision one expects from this alpine region, but sourced from the very oldest and best sites on the estate, allowing for ultimate ripeness and expression. This vintage was harvested from very steep, organically-farmed vineyards sitting at around 700 meters. Aged solely in stainless, it is a richly textured, sumptuous wine aromatic of just-picked summer apricots, clove spice and lemon verbena before revealing its inner core of Golden Delicious apple, Asian pear and dried Acacia honey. 14.5%

New World

Chasing Harvest 2021 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit, de-stemmed and crushed, was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity, and remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%

Omer Vander Ghinste

When Omer Vander Ghinste started brewing in 1892 in the beautiful West Flemish village of Bellegem, brand names did not yet exist.

Therefore every firstborn son was baptized "Omer", a tradition still kept alive today, 130 years and 5 generations later!

Abbey-Style Beers

Abbey-Style Beers may or may not have a historical connection to an abbey and they may or may not pay royalties to a monastery.

St. Bernardus

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer only for themselves. For beers for sale to the public, they gave a license to the nearby cheese factory, and brewery St. Bernardus was founded. (Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Authentic Trappist Beers

Monastic brewing dates back to the Middle Ages, while Trappist brewing is thought to have began in the mid 1600s. Today, only ten Trappist breweries remain. Five in Belgium and one each in the Netherlands, Italy, England, France and Spain. To carry the Authentic Trappist Product label, breweries must meet strict standards set by the International Trappist Association (ITA). The beer must be brewed within a working monastery under monastic supervision, with monks directly involved in the process. Profits support the monastery and its charitable work. Despite modern challenges, such as rising production costs and fewer monks, Trappist beers remain one of the most distinctive and respected traditions in the brewing world

Girardin

Brouwerij Girardin is a small family-owned lambic brewery in the village of Sint-Ul- riks-Kapelle. The brewery sits on a farm established in 1845 as part of the estate of a nobleman. It was purchased by Franciscus-Alexius Girardin in 1882. Initially, the intent of the Girardin family was to farm for subsistence, while brewing as a secondary means of income. Little is known about the brewery's history between 1882 and the time of World War I. Girardin is a main supplier of wort to lambic blenders, including 3 Fonteinen, De Cam, and Hanssens

Gueuze 1882 (Black Label) 5%^^

375ml $20.00

Boon^^

The Boon Brewery is the life's work of Frank Boon, who is often referred to as the savior of Geuze. He took over a geuze blendery that was threatening to disappear in the late 1970s, determined to revive the local Geuze tradition. Beers are spon- taneously fermented, but more than anything, they are the result of well-planned craftsmanship. The dedication of the family business over the years has resulted in unique expertise in Lambic beers

Kriek 5%

Using old and young lambic beer that has aged in oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, they add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermentation. They then clarify, filter and bottle it. The cherries and young lambic create a red beer that is both natural and fresh, with an absolutely unforgettable sweet and sour taste. This is kriek as it should be, with nothing but real cherries and lambic

330ml $22.00

The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonizes with the oak barrels' aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense

330ml $20.00

Hanssens Artisanaal^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Oude Gueuze 5.8%

$60.00

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato: centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vine - yard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy. The clusters from these ancient vines are picked in the first week of Sept., brought to the drying loft and allowed to dry naturally until mid- Oct., reducing a quarter of their weight. It requires lengthy matu ration and aging (70% French/30% Ameri can oak.) After 12 mos., the wine is blended from the various barrels, racked, and then aged another 12 mos. in the same barrels. After 2 years in oak, the wine goes to bottle, where it remains until the end of the 4th year.

Minimus 2015 Origin Johan (100% Pinot Noir) Oregon

$60.00

This single vineyard Pinot Noir is truly something special. The Johan Vineyard is one of the coldest growing sites in the valley, with morning fog and cooling ocean air snaking through the Van Duzer corridor directly from the coast.

Sean Thackrey 2016 Andromeda (100% Pinot Noir) California

$60.00

This one was described by Sean this way: "More complex and deeply flavored than most of its California brethren, not least because several vineyard characteristics tilt it that way. Devil's Gulch is directly in the path of cool air sweeping in from the Pacific across Tomales Bay, but it is above the fog line; thus there's no lack of sunlight, hence excellent ripening, but little heat, hence no baked berries; and the wine interferes with pollination, guaranteeing a remarkably small yield, often less than one ton per acre. I have, as always, done everything to bring all this together into a uniquely expressive wine; perhaps it's not for those who want Pinot Noir to be light & with a few simple fruit and floral flavors, but it's certainly for those who want something wilder and more mysterious than that, as are so many of the greatest Burgundies, after all. Actually, I believe it; so we may safely conclude that I'm proud of it." 13.8% The antithesis of a corporate winemaker, Sean Thackrey is missed

Abbazia di Novacella 2023 "Praepositus" (Kerner) Italy

$50.00

By far the most important producer in the hamlet of Novacella/Neustift in far northeast Italy, is the Abbazia, a 12th century monastery. The monks have taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, running their own working village AND running their own school of viticulture to teach about their winemaking traditions that go back, literally, millen- nia. The cantina dates to 1142—one of the oldest cellars in the world. The wines they make here, all from local grapes, are absolutely sensational; pure, focused and deeply flavored. None are better than the outstanding reserve-level wines called Praepositus, Latin for 'leader.' Here is the linearity, salinity, and precision one expects from this alpine region, but sourced from the very oldest and best sites on the estate, allowing for ultimate ripeness and expression. This vintage was harvested from very steep, organically-farmed vineyards sitting at around 700 meters. Aged solely in stainless, it is a richly textured, sumptuous wine aromatic of just-picked summer apricots, clove spice and lemon verbena before revealing its inner core of Golden Delicious apple, Asian pear and dried Acacia honey. 14.5%

New World

Chasing Harvest 2021 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit, de-stemmed and crushed, was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity, and remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%

Omer Vander Ghinste

When Omer Vander Ghinste started brewing in 1892 in the beautiful West Flemish village of Bellegem, brand names did not yet exist.

Therefore every firstborn son was baptized "Omer", a tradition still kept alive today, 130 years and 5 generations later!

Abbey-Style Beers

Abbey-Style Beers may or may not have a historical connection to an abbey and they may or may not pay royalties to a monastery. They are always beers of a style commonly associated with monastic brewing traditions. In some cases, a historic abbey sold or licensed a private company the rights to their name and recipes. In most though, there was never a connection between the brand and the Catholic Church

St. Bernardus

In 1945, Trappist monastery St. Sixtus stopped selling its beer and an agreement was reached where the monks would brew beer only for themselves. For beers for sale to the public, they gave a license to the nearby cheese factory, and brewery St. Bernardus was founded. (Mathieu Szafran-ski, the brewmaster from Westvleteren, became a partner in the brewery and brought with him the recipes, the know-how, and the St. Sixtus yeast strain.) Since 1992 when the Trappist monasteries decided that Authentic Trappist beer could only be brewed in a monastery, those brewed in Watou have been sold under the brand name St. Bernardus. The St. Bernardus range is considered a close match in recipe and style to the St. Sixtus/Westvleteren beers, which can be hard to obtain outside the area

Authentic Trappist Beers

Monastic brewing dates back to the Middle Ages, while Trappist brewing is thought to have began in the mid 1600s. Today, only ten Trappist breweries remain. Five in Belgium and one each in the Netherlands, Italy, England, France and Spain. To carry the Authentic Trappist Product label, breweries must meet strict standards set by the International Trappist Association (ITA). The beer must be brewed within a working monastery under monastic supervision, with monks directly involved in the process. Profits support the monastery and its charitable work. Despite modern challenges, such as rising production costs and fewer monks, Trappist beers remain one of the most distinctive and respected traditions in the brewing world

Dry-hopped secondary fermentation lasts 5-7 weeks; bottle-condition ing lasts 2 months. This Trappist also stands apart as the only one to use Brettanomyces. It's a true world classic

Brouwerij Girardin is a small family-owned lambic brewery in the village of Sint-Ul- riks-Kapelle. The brewery sits on a farm established in 1845 as part of the estate of a nobleman. It was purchased by Franciscus-Alexius Girardin in 1882. Initially, the intent of the Girardin family was to farm for subsistence, while brewing as a secondary means of income. Little is known about the brewery's history between 1882 and the time of World War I. Girardin is a main supplier of wort to lambic blenders, including 3 Fonteinen, De Cam, and Hanssens

Gueuze 1882 (Black Label) 5%^^

375ml $20.00

Boon^^

The Boon Brewery is the life's work of Frank Boon, who is often referred to as the savior of Geuze. He took over a geuze blendery that was threatening to disappear in the late 1970s, determined to revive the local Geuze tradition. Beers are spon- taneously fermented, but more than anything, they are the result of well-planned craftsmanship. The dedication of the family business over the years has resulted in unique expertise in Lambic beers

Kriek 5%

Using old and young lambic beer that has aged in oak casks. When the lambic is 6 months old, they add 25% black cherries. This provokes the second fermentation. They then clarify, filter and bottle it. The cherries and young lambic create a red beer that is both natural and fresh, with an absolutely unforgettable sweet and sour taste. This is kriek as it should be, with nothing but real cherries and lambic

The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonizes with the oak barrels' aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense

330ml $20.00

Hanssens Artisanaal^^

Hanssens Artisanaal is the oldest independent geuze blender in the world. In 1871, former mayor Hanssens Bartholomeus started to brew lambic in the previous Saint-Antonius brewery. Nowadays it is helmed by Sidy Hanssens, daughter of Jean, the 4th generation in this family's tradition. It should be noted that after World War I, when the Germans took all the copper brew material to produce war equipment, Bartholomeus was compelled to continue as a blender, like so many others of the time. The most significant difference between a gueuze blender and gueuze brewer is that a gueuze blender buys wort (lambic wort) from lambic brewers rather than brewing the lambic himself. The centuries-old knowledge and techniques of the Hanssens family create these beers, which are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and bottle-conditioned

Oude Gueuze 5.8%

$60.00

The product of a totally unexpected discovery in northern Tuscany's San Miniato: centuries-old tempranillo grapevines in an ancient vine - yard. Cuttings were sent to a lab in Piemonte for DNA analysis that revealed their anci ent origin. That the 8th Century pilgrimage path, the Via Francigena, passes through this property may explain how this decidedly Spanish grape was planted, intentionally or not, here and nowhere else in Italy. The clusters from these ancient vines are picked in the first week of Sept., brought to the drying loft and allowed to dry naturally until mid- Oct., reducing a quarter of their weight. It requires lengthy matu ration and aging (70% French/30% Ameri can oak.) After 12 mos., the wine is blended from the various barrels, racked, and then aged another 12 mos. in the same barrels.

Minimus 2015 Origin Johan (100% Pinot Noir) Oregon

$60.00

This single vineyard Pinot Noir is truly something special. The Johan Vineyard is one of the coldest growing sites in the valley, with morning fog and cooling ocean air snaking through the Van Duzer corridor directly from the coast. These sea breezes impart a saline character to the fruit, and help to maintain acidity levels. The result is a bright wine, richly layered with vibrant acidity and silky tannins. 13%

Sean Thackrey 2016 Andromeda (100% Pinot Noir) California

$60.00

This one was described by Sean this way: "More complex and deeply flavored than most of its California brethren, not least because several vineyard characteristics tilt it that way. Devil's Gulch is directly in the path of cool air sweeping in from the Pacific across Tomales Bay, but it is above the fog line; thus there's no lack of sunlight, hence excellent ripening, but little heat, hence no baked berries; and the wine interferes with pollination, guaranteeing a remarkably small yield, often less than one ton per acre. I have, as always, done everything to bring all this together into a uniquely expressive wine; perhaps it's not for those who want Pinot Noir to be light & with a few simple fruit and floral flavors, but it's certainly for those who want something wilder and more mysterious than that, as are so many of the greatest Burgundies, after all. Actually, I believe it; so we may safely conclude that I'm proud of it." 13.8% The antithesis of a corporate winemaker, Sean Thackrey is missed

Abbazia di Novacella 2023 "Praepositus" (Kerner) Italy

$50.00

By far the most important producer in the hamlet of Novacella/Neustift in far northeast Italy, is the Abbazia, a 12th century monastery. The monks have taken vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, running their own working village AND running their own school of viticulture to teach about their winemaking traditions that go back, literally, millen- nia. The cantina dates to 1142—one of the oldest cellars in the world. The wines they make here, all from local grapes, are absolutely sensational; pure, focused and deeply flavored. None are better than the outstanding reserve-level wines called Praepositus, Latin for 'leader.' Here is the linearity, salinity, and precision one expects from this alpine region, but sourced from the very oldest and best sites on the estate, allowing for ultimate ripeness and expression. This vintage was harvested from very steep, organically-farmed vineyards sitting at around 700 meters. Aged solely in stainless, it is a richly textured, sumptuous wine aromatic of just-picked summer apricots, clove spice and lemon verbena before revealing its inner core of Golden Delicious apple, Asian pear and dried Acacia honey. 14.5%

Bodegas Avancia 2023 Godello, Valdeorras, Galicia, Spain

New World

Chasing Harvest 2021 South Island Riesling, New Zealand

$50.00

Created by husband and wife Michael Kush and Jennifer Kingen Kush from Chicago. "Chasing harvest" is a wine industry term that describes travel between the northern and southern hemispheres for extra vintage seasons in one year. Sourced from a single vineyard located in the heart of the Bannockburn subregion of Central Otago, this wine was crafted using experiences gained in the Mosel, Germany as well as in the New World. Hand-harvested and ripe clusters with minimal botrytis were sorted in the winery; the fruit, de-stemmed and crushed, was left to macerate on the skins overnight. Gently pressed the next day; after cold-settling, the wine was racked to very old neutral french oak barrels. Fermented long and cool, the wine was left with a very minimal amount of residual sugar to balance with the acidity, and remained on its lees over the course of the winter before being bottled in the spring. Only 45 cases produced! 12.5%
