Many of our staff recently took a field trip to the New Glarus Brewery and had a wonderful tour of their beautiful new brewery. We also fell in love with Dan Carey's newest creation the New Glarus Alt.
Dan and Deb Carey, New Glarus Brewery:
"Saluting our continued survival on this planet we decided to go all out with New Glarus Alt. This is a bold and racy toffee laced departure from the typical Dusseldorf style. At twenty degrees Plato this might be more accurately termed a Triple Alt. The brilliant bronze body was cultivated in a three hour kettle boilof Caramel malts and Raw Turbinado Sugar. Aged on oak in open top fermenters followed by a second round of bottle conditioning. A firm head of foam sweeps brisk hop notes of Syrian Golding and German Hallertau to your nose. A defiant anomaly tenacious and independent this is a flavor experience to relish."
The Mazzei family, historic owners of Tuscany's renowned Fonterutoli estate, present Zisola, an elegant Sicilian red wine of great complexity, concentration and aging potential. Made from Sicily's indigenous Nero d'Avola grape, Zisola is bursting with rich flavors of blackberry and dark cherry, accented by notes of violet, pepper and exotic spices.
