New at Dorothy Lane Market, Springboro

Thursday, October 9th, 2008 | What's in Stores | 1 Comment

I had a nice beer run at DLM yesterday where I found the following seasonals/limited releases on sale.

  • Founders Breakfast Stout:  One of my favorites, Coffee, Chocolate and Oatmeal!
  • Founders  Cumudgeon Old Ale: (9.3% ABV, Barleywine style Old Ale)
  • Dogfish Head Theobroma: Based on an analysis of pottery fragments that revealed the earliest known alcoholic drink and brewed with Aztec cocoa powder, cocoa nibs, honey, chilies and annatto (fragrant tree seeds).
  • Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron:  This is the second release of this fine beer aged in Paraguayan Palo Santo Wood.  Apparently Dogfish Head will release this beer throughout the year in limited quantities.
  • Bell’s Hell Hath No Fury … Ale: Only available through November
  • Bell’s Cherry Stout: Don’t knock this unless you’ve tried it, One of my favorites, but this should be available through March.
  • Southern Tier Hoppe Imperial Extra Pale Ale
  • Southern Tier  Oat Imperial Oatmeal Stout (limited release and availability)
  • Delirium Noel — 2008 Belgium Christmas Beers on shelves already
I know the Theobroma and Cumudgeon Old Ale were in such limited supply that they were not placed on the shelves, but they may have some available in the back if you ask for it.
