As you may have heard, the new 2010 Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine just arrived in stock at CBX. 

Both bottles and growlers are available now! 

To celebrate the once a year release of an all time favorite, we thought we'd bring out a vintage keg of last year's Bigfoot, 2009, for this "Rare Beer Tuesday" feature!  Bigfoot is one of the most popular beers to age and this will be a great opportunity to see how the 2009 is coming along! 

Unlike some of our other Tuesday features, this one is quite a bargain, especially at 9.6% ABV!  Both the 2010 and 2009 will be available simultaneously so if you really want to have fun try a growler of both!

Rare Beer Tuesday (12/8)
As you probably know, every Tuesday at 5pm we tap something extraordinary on the growler station for growler fills.  This week we have a double feature!  From New Holland Brewing Company, out of Holland, Michigan, we are thrilled to have Dragon's Milk Ale Aged in Oak Barrels and Pilgrim's Dole Wheat Wine!  Both of these wonderful beers are extremely rare to find on draft let alone having them both at once.

Dragon's Milk weighs in at 9% ABV and is aged in used 1st and 2nd fill Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrels which give this stout-like beer wonderful depths of vanilla and oak.  Pilgrim's Dole weighs in at a whopping 11% ABV and is referred to as a "Wheat Wine" by the brewery.  A kind of barleywine-style ale but brewed using 50% wheat.  This beer is then barrel aged in the used barrels that have previously held Dragon's Milk!  Both of these big beers are world class!  Don't miss the chance to try them.
