What’s new at Bruisin’ and what’s a-coming…

Posted Sep 02, 2010 in Beer, Breweries, Limited Release, New this week, Rarerities, Seasonals

We’ve got a few weeks left until the true Fall Equinox, but that doesn’t count in the beer world. The fall seasonal releases are pouring in—and quickly—so fans of Oktoberfest/Marzen styles and pumpkin beers rejoice! This list is everything arriving this week. Some are already here, some still coming tomorrow. But since we’re having beer floats with The Hop Ice Cream tomorrow, I’d better post these now or it won’t get done and you’ll be unhappy with me. We can’t have that.

Other limited releases that you want to grab NOW: Dogfish Head Bitches Brew, Dogfish Head Saison du BUFF, Rogue “21″ Old Ale, Sierra Nevada “30″ Ken & Jack’s Black Barleywine, Bell’s The Oracle Double IPA, and Stillwater Cellar Door.

[NOTE: The asterisk means seasonal beers and limited releases.]

Sorry for the delay in blog posts, you fabulous beer people. Things are wacky these days on the Bruisin’ home front with things not so fun, so please know it’s not that I’m not thinking of you, the fabulous beer people. It’s that I’m busy with real life stuff, trying to keep up with shipping Asheville Brewing’s Moog Filtered Ale (available only until July 31), adding new beers, and generally feeling rather unoriginal these days to write a blog post.

This too shall pass, though, so maybe enjoy it?
