The Week (Or Two) In Labels

Aaaaand... We're back with more labels! Quite a few from local/regional breweries, so let's dive right in, shall we?

Jolly Pumpkin La Roja Grand Reserve - ??% ABV, oak aged amber ale. Jolly Pumpkin is located in Dexter, MI, just west of Ann Arbor. *Shakes fist angrily at the nearby Wolverines*

Surly Darkness - ~10% Russian Imperial Stout - For the fifth year in a row, Brooklyn Center, MN based Surly brought the creepy for this highly sought-after pint-sized bottle.

Greenbush 1825 - 9.3% Belgian-style golden ale. Label darlings Greenbush strike again with 1825. I'm hoping the "little something special" is just love.

New Holland Charkoota Rye - ~8% smoked rye dopplebock. Not a new beer, but I believe a new label for this bomber that follows New Holland's High Gravity Series stock.

Bell's Eccentric Ale 2010 - 10-12% strong ale. From the label copy: "Malt beverage brewed with maple syrup with spices added." and "Brewed under the discerning eye of Larry." Hmm, sounds interesting.

Southern Tier Eurotrash Pilz - 5% pilsner lager. With a name like that, we have our random "WTF?" label winner of the week out of New York - You keep it classy, Southern Tier!

New Holland Hatter Day Celebration

Doing a copy and paste job for New Holland "Hatter Day" at Fiddler's Hearth in South Bend on June 8th from 5-8. I'm not sure if I can be there, but it sounds like a great time!

"The Hatters have left Holland! For the first time ever, all four of the rarest Hatters will be making the journey south to Michiana. For one night only, at one pub only, try all of the Hatters on draft. Black Hatter Black IPA, Farmhouse Hatter Belgian IPA, Rye Hatter RIPA, and Oak Aged Hatter IPA. There is only one keg of each, so come early, because once they are gone, they won't reappear until next June."
