Magic Hat Belgo Sutra

Magic Hats Humdinger series has been out for a year now, but not since recently has it been available on Long Island.  The first installment available on Long Island in the 750ml corked and caged bottle is Belgo Sutra.  Magic Hat Belgo Sutra is an 8.2% Belgian Strong Ale available in limited quantities.  See the picture above for the bottle picture taken at Brewtopia in Port Jefferson, this label is the newly designed label.  The original label was deemed too sexual and was rejected by the states where it was registered.  Reviews on the Belgo Sutra have been very good and is a must try beer from Magic Hat.  See below for the original rejected label.

Ayinger Jahrhundert

Ayinger brewery is most famously known for the Celebrator Doppelbock, perhaps the most highly rated Doppelbock in the world.  This world famous brewery is starting a rotational draft offering to the United States.  Starting in the next month or so, Ayinger will start shipping a limited release draft only beer.  The first installment is the Jahrhundert, a Helles Lager once brewed for the 100th anniversary of the brewery.  This rotational draft series will be available in 30 liter "one way" kegs.  The one way kegs are no-deposit barrels with a throw away blatter inside.  There will only be 10 of these 30-liter barrels available for Long Island. 

Dogfish Head Tap Handle Update

Check out the new generic Dogfish Head tap markers.  These handles come in a fake silk cloth lined box and are available in two different colors.  The neon dogfish handle is the same shape and design as the brown handle.  The neon handle will certainly stick out in dark bars and among the lengthy (and getting longer) draft towers.  Look for the updated handles on tap towers in the next few weeks and through out the year.

Spider Bite White Bite Wheat Ale

Spider Bite is set to release their first Wheat Ale called White Bite.  This American style Wheat Ale will be available on draft and in 12oz bottles in the beginning of April.  This brew is 50 % malted wheat, uses the Spider Bite American Yeast strain and weighs in at 4.5% abv.  Look for the lighter side of Spider Bite soon.

Brooklyn Blast Coming in Bottles

Brooklyn Brewery is planning on releasing the cult favorite Brooklyn Blast West Coast style IPA in bottles.  The Blast will be available for the first time in bottle, and you guessed it in 12ounce 4 packs towards the end of 2013.  Brooklyn Brewery is investing in their first 12 ounce bottling line in Williamsburg.  This move to add the 12 ounce bottling line to the Williamsburg brewery is in order to keep the superb quality of this IPA up to par.  This makes us wonder if more high end 4 packs will be coming in the future.

Long Trail Brown Bag Milk Stout

The third installment of the Long Trail Pilot Brew Series available on draft only is coming to Long Island soon.  We are currently in batch#2 the Bavarian Smoked Brown Ale which is a smoke beer lovers dream.  The Milk Stout will be available in 50 liter barrels on draft only.  Look for this 5.4% brew on a draft tower near you.  See above for all the specs and description of this limited brew.
