New releases
Cuvee de Tomme - This is the first release of CdT to be barrel blended. Only 420 bottles will be sold. There will be a maximum of 4 bottles per person. $15 per 375ml cork-finished bottle.
Ten Commandments - Lost Abbey’s once a year Anniversary beer. (A new generation of dark farmhouse-style beer many of you knew in an earlier incarnation as Pizza Port’s SPF 8.) Brettanomyces added at bottling, so it’s guaranteed to be something special. It will be $12 per 750 ml cork finished bottle and no limit on the number of purchases (plus 10% off on a case), but there’s only 280 cases.
