The Bottle Shop will be housed in a separate tent at the event. The Shop will showcase the country's best specialty beers (750 ml and 22 oz. bottles only) and attendees will be able to learn about and sample the beer in a relaxed retail-style setting.

The following brews will ONLY be available in the Bottle Shop
during the VIP Session!

Available all year round. Here in Brooklyn we've combined European malt and hops, Belgian dark sugar, and raw wildflower honey from a New York family farm to create Brooklyn Local 2. Our special Belgian yeast adds hints of spice to dark fruit, caramel, and chocolate flavors. After 100% bottle refermentation, the beer reveals a marvelous dry complexity, enjoyable by itself or at the dinner table.

Troubadour Blond
The clear, golden, attractive color is what strikes you first. A firm white head is the crown of this golden ale. Your first experience, while sipping the BLOND, will be a refreshing, sparkling effect on your tongue, followed by a mild bitterness enhanced by a spiciness, that finishes with a sweeter sensation. A good nose recognizes the hops, in combination with fruity esters.

Vlad the Inhaler
Grodziskie, a smoked wheat ale, is considered to be the only beer style native to Poland. Named after the city where it was brewed, it is sometimes known as Gratzer (the name the Germans gave the city of Grodziskie when they took over). This style was popular across much of Poland and northern Germany during the 19th Century and into the 20th up to the first World War. Thought to have been born sometime in the 14th Century, this beer style disappeared in the 1990s when the last brewery in Poland producing it closed.

Vlad the Inhaler is brewed with 100% wheat; no malted barley is used in this beer at all. The wheat is smoked at the brewery over oak for two hours prior to mashing.

An excellent accompaniment to brats, sausages, and need I add, kielbasa!

La Fin du Monde
La Fin du Monde is a strong triple-style golden ale (9% ABV)—a Unibroue best seller offering both subtlety and strength with a chorus of fruit, spice and hop notes that make this highly effervescent “liquid gold” so distinctive. Winner of 5 Platinum, 6 Gold, and 1 Silver Medal from the Beverage Testing Institute.

Fisherman’s Pumpkin Stout
Fisherman’s Pumpkin Stout is a dark stout accentuated by the flavors of the autumn season. Using real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, the Cape Ann Brewing Company took a fresh take at the common fall seasonal. This rich dark stout offers an inviting pumpkin spice aroma that gives way of the potent roasted chocolate flavors of a stout and finishes with the delicate essence of real pumpkin.

Merry Monks
When you try this beer you’re in for a unique treat. The special effervescence and creaminess are immediately apparent when pouring. The pilsner malts combined with the Belgian yeast strains yield a remarkable and complex flavor- perhaps you’ll note subtle hints of banana and cookie dough.

Double Simcoe IPA
Double Simcoe IPA, 9.0% abv, is our incredible reward for Hopheads seeking the intense hop flavor in a Double IPA, without the harshness. It is brewed utilizing only the Simcoe hop variety.

Cockeyed Cooper
This Barleywine is aged in bourbon barrels for a minimum of 6 months. It has notes of caramel, molasses, and dark fruit and of course bourbon. Brisk carbonation helps cut the sweetness and makes this 11.1% beer eminently drinkable.

Detour Double IPA
This double IPA weighs in a 9.5% and uses four different hops including the little heard of Bravo and Apollo hops. These are some very pungent hops that contain alpha acid levels of upwards of 18%. Expect bracing bitterness and a dry finish.

Labyrinth Black Ale
This American Strong ale is aged in both rye and bourbon barrels and is black as night. It has hints of black licorice, roasted oak and bittersweet chocolate. It is the strongest in the series of 13.2%

Tilted Smile
An Imperial Pilsner with just two ingredients (other than water and yeast of course). 100% Pilsner malts are balanced with traditional Saaz hops. Crisp, well carbonated and surprisingly drinkable at 9%.
