DuClaw 13 Degrees
First brewed in 2002 and available each Spring, 13 Degrees exemplifies the German-style Hefe-weizen. Made with a 50/50 mix of malted wheat and barley malt, it is straw-colored with a lingering white head atop a chaotically cloudy, medium body. The beer is left unfiltered to capture the distinct clove and banana flavors contributed by the style-specific strain of yeast used in fermentation. With just enough hop character to balance these unique flavors as they fade to a, dry, crisp finish, and a moderate 4.8% abv.,13 Degrees is a flavor-packed, refreshing brew that defies expectations and superstitions.

DuClaw Bad Moon Porter
A complex, robust porter, Bad Moon is medium to full bodied with a slightly sweet, malty presence combined with hints of chocolate and coffee. This is a full-bodied beer that gets its chocolate and coffee-like flavors and color from the use of generous amounts of roasted malts. It has a smooth finish and a balanced hop character.

Gluten-Free’s Best
Congratulations to our friends at Brasserie de Brunehaut for having two of their gluten-free beers selected in the top ten of Paste Magazine’s “The 14 Best (and Worst) Gluten-Free Beers”. I know that brewer Marc-Antoine De Mees works very hard to make the very best gluten-free beers available and this helps solidify his position in the niche of gluten-free products. Comments about Brunehaut’s beers, according to Paste, {xtypo_quote}3. Brunehaut Ambrée For Fans Of: Ommegang Abbey AleThe verdict: Belgian brewery Brunehaut has figured out how to use barley in its ales and extract the gluten after the fact. Though it measures at the same “less than five parts per million” of gluten that non-barley…

DuClaw HellRazer IPA
HellRazer IPA, first brewed in 2011 and now available year round, is a medium-bodied, golden IPA that gets in your face from first sweet sip to crisp, dry finish with the exotic tropical fruit flavors and aromas of New Zealand Motueka hops. With just enough malt character to keep the aggressive hop presence and unruly 7.5% abv in check, this brew was seemingly born to kick ass. And RAZE HELL!

DuClaw Black Jack Stout
Black Jack Stout, our December seasonal brew (and one of our most popular since it was first brewed in 1998), stays true to the style’s origins. The Brewer’s Association of Maryland Governor’s Cup 2005, 2006 and 2007 gold medal winner in its class, this classic example of the Russian Imperial Stout style pours jet black with a small dark brown head and full body. Black Jack boasts a swirl of dark chocolate, coffee, smoky malt, and fruit flavors, and a lingering, warming alcohol presence (8% alcohol by volume) well concealed by its big bold flavors. Engineered for an OG of 21 Plato (hence the name) so that every glass, and…

Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel
Das weltberühmte Bockbier vom Heiligen Berg Bayerns will nicht heruntergestürzt, sondern verkostet werden. Fest wie ein Fels steht der Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel auf dem Brotzeittisch mit einer Farbe, die an dunkles Kupfer erinnert, verbunden mit feurig roten Anklängen. Sein glanzklares Aussehen verbindet sich harmonisch mit einem festen und feinporigen Schaum. Schon auf die Nase wartet ein besonderer Genuß: Weiche Röstnoten und ein Hauch von Dörrobst begleiten ein betontes Karamellaroma. Angenehm moussierend präsentiert sich der Doppelbock Dunkel vom Heiligen Berg Bayerns. Unverwechselbar dann der Geschmack: vollmundig und samtig, kräftig und doch angenehm malzaromatisch – ein wuchtiger, kerniger Körper. Dabei eine gut erkennbare Süße, umspielt von röstigen Kakaonoten und einer leichten Hopfenbittere.…
