What happens when Captain Lawrence brings in one of their biggest supporters who happens to also be a high end food market? You get a Abbey Ale made with Imported Italian Chestnut Honey and Jam.

Having known a few Celiacs, the one thing they ask me: “Are there any good beers out there for us?” There are a lot of people allergic to Wheat and Barley making beer unpleasant to a life threatening drink. Lately I have seen a few Gluten free beers come to market, most barely able to [...]

In one of my recent beer trades, a bottle of Real Ale Phoenixx Double ESB appeared in my box of Flying Dog Dogschwarz double black [...]
