Bottled beer list piece by piece: BJCP style 17.

Here is another in a series of postings revealing the sections of our new, evolving beer list at the NABC Pizzeria & Public House. Style 17 poses problems that pertain both to designations of particular beers (reds, browns) and my desire to keep the imported choices at a minimum. See if it makes sense, and let me know.

Bear in mind: What beers are available for putchase from wholesalers on a daily basis, year-round? Based on breaking information, it may not be possible for me to stock Bruocsella for precisely this reason.

17. SOUR ALE

17A. Berliner Weisse
Professor Fritz Briem 1809 Berliner Weisse (Weihenstephaner)
Germany; 5% … 16.9 oz … 8.75

17B. Flanders Red Ale
Jolly Pumpkin La Roja … MI; 7.2% … 25.4 oz … 18.75

*New Belgium La Folie … CO; 6% … $.$$

17C. Flanders Brown Ale/Oud Bruin
(Currently, good examples are not available)

17D. Straight (Unblended) Lambic
Cantillon Grand Cru Bruocsella … Belgium; 5% … 25.4 oz … $.$$

17E. Gueuze
Hanssens Oude Gueuze … Belgium; 6% … $.$$

17F. Fruit Lambic
Sweetened: Lindemans Cassis (Currant); Framboise (Raspberry); Kriek (Cherry); Peche (Peach); Pomme (Apple) … Belgium; 4% … 8.25

Roger maintains a small and changing reserve list of authentic Lambics from Cantillon, Drie Fonteinen, Girardin and others. Ask for it.
