Bridgeport Raven Mad Imperial Porter

This is a favorite over at the 5 Points Growlers I hear. Half barrel aged; half bourbon, pinot noir. Makes for a very rich and complex beer. Try it.

We have 2 new selections from the Duvel Artist Collection available at 5 Points Growlers. DAAN features an image of the multi-talented Belgian artist Daan Stuyven taken in the iconic bad-boy style of the likes of Johnny Cash and Steve McQueen.
The second is by Eley Kishimoto who create work that is clear in intention, executed simply, with creative flair.
And they both have the really really cool etched D in the bottom of the glass for proper beer agitation.
Sierra Nevada Celebration
13 Jan 2012 | posted by 5PBS | in 5 Points Growlers, Growlers ~ On Tap
Sierra Nevada Celebration Fresh Hop Ale is a winter IPA that like the Sweetwater IPA is a little different than most IPA’s. You’ll find Celebration not as dark as most IPA’s and with more of a hop taste rather than malt.
Direct from Sierra Nevada
The long, cold nights of winter are a little brighter with Celebration® Ale. Wonderfully robust and rich, Celebration® Ale is dry-hopped for a lively, intense aroma. Brewed especially for the holidays, it is perfect for a festive gathering or for a quiet evening at home.

Sweetwater IPA

There are a lot of great IPA’s out there, but this Sweetwater IPA is different. It has it’s own unique aroma and composition — it’s got some citrus and floral going on than most IPA’s. Try it fresh on tap!!
Direct from Sweetwater Brewing Company
This mammouth India Pale Ale is loaded with intense hop character and subjected to an extensive dry-hopping process. Our IPA is unfiltered and as always, not pasteurized, leaving all the natural flavors intact.
