The Beers!!
TWO ROADS LIL' JUICY DD HOPPED NEW ENGLAND STYLE IPA *CANS*,
4 pack 16 oz. $14.99
ABV = 5.2%
An unfiltered, double dry hopped New England IPA that uses generous amounts of galaxy, citra and azacca hops. The result is a “crushable” IPA with notes of tropical juicy fruits, orange, lemon-lime and florals.
SINGLECUT ELECTRIC BLUE, 4 pack 16 oz. $20.99
DANGER DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE! This cousin to our lauded Bowie IPA series (ft. Some Cat From Japan, I’m An Alligator, and the inimitable Weird & Gilly) has an intense pucker of bright and juicy Valencia oranges, soft and sweet apricot, guava, dense and peppery cannabis, a sweet lick of fruit punch, and a long linger of pithy tangerine. As the weeks go by, the Blue will spread, mellowing into a deep tropical soundscape of guava jelly, yuzu tea, and a that same resinous linger. Blue blue blue blue.
The Wines!!
PULLUS STAJERSKA WHITE "HALOZAN" $14.99
Halozan blend is one of the most traditional local wines in Štajerska. It is made for daily consumption, a simple, fresh field blend of local white grapes. There is no specific formula to this blend, it is slightly different every year. What is consistent is the fact that it is one of the most popular wines in Slovenia. On the nose, the Halo?an wine offers us a good mix of fresh floral aromatics, which combines with shades of fruit, especially apples. Clean pleasant aromatics leads to the freshness in the mouth, because the wine is light, youthful and distinctly fruity.
POMALO DEBIT WHITE - CROATIA $19.99
Debit is an indigenous Dalmatian variety that thrives between the ocean and mountains. Diurnal shift allows for great ripeness and balanced acidity. Pomalo is an argot word for a certain easygoing quality that is exhibited in this méthode ancestrale. Pair this fresh, dry, sparkling white with dreams of a day on the Dalmatian coast with a cheese burek.
PULLUS ROSE-SLOVENIA $19.99
Winemaker Notes: An expressive bright and juicy rose has finally arrived from Pullus! Pretty bright salmon color with a pink hue, this wine is bursting with aromas of strawberry rhubarb, raspberry, whipped cream and fresh plums. On the palate, the wine is crisp and mouthwatering with youthful strawberry, watermelon jolly rancher, red berries, and a subtle mineral spritz. Enjoy at brunch with lox, basking poolside, or while watching Luka Doncic go off in the playoffs!
PULLUS STAJERSKA RED "HALOZAN" $14.99
Juicy and bright, yet elegant maintaining a medium body, bright red fruit acidity and smooth tannin. This wine is fresh and fruity, packed with sour cherry, strawberry and a touch of middle eastern spices. This is a blend of Blaufränkisch, Pinot Noir, Blauer Kölner, Zweigelt and Gamay from dry farmed vineyards with environmentally friendly cultivation, following the integrated farming guidelines of Slovenia. Made from perfectly ripe grapes that were picked by hand three times over the span of September. All varieties were picked and fermented separately. Controlled cold fermentation with 2-3 weeks of skin maceration, and undergoing full malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 6 months in both stainless steel tanks and large wooden oak casks. Blended, coarsely fined and filtered before bottling. Try it chilled!
SKEGRO BLARINA RED - BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA $21.99
This wine is an incredible introduction to the Blatina grape and the red wines of Herzegovina. It pours a deep, dark ruby red into the glass releasing enticing aromatics of ripe berries mixed with notes of violets, spice and savory herbs. The palate is packed with juicy fruit flavors of plum and black raspberry and a touch of earth. This is an elegant wine with a firm, yet agreeable, tannic structure that supports this lovely red to a long finish. Perfect for red meats and wild game, but equally delightful with cured meats and semi-soft cheeses.
