Weekly Beer Update: Thursday October 15, 2015 and Special Releases

Can you feel the chill in the air? Winter Beers are arriving to warm you up! So stand outside tonight. Cheers a glass and enjoy the chill on your skin and let the warmth of a high alcohol, heavy bodied, dark winter beer keep you toasty. Or keep sipping those pumpkin beers until your ears fall off and the carved gourds turn to mush.

Take a look at who is new at Lukas Liquor Superstore:

Coda Brewing Company has only been open in Aurora since 2014 but with two GABF Silver Medals with two different beers this little brewery has shown they can brew really good beer. Now you can buy their award winning beers from your favorite South Metro beer department. Dogcatcher Hop-Forward Red Ale with Orange Blossom Honey, Sleepytime Passion Fruit Imperial Kolsch and Via Chicago Pale Ale are all now in our "Bomb Shelter" and ready for your delight.

Buy them before they are gone: Pumpkin beers are already selling out with winter beers making their comeback, get them now before it is too late. Sam Adams Octoberfest season is coming to close as well, Nov 1 if not before we will see Winter Lager. Fall Seasonal's are ending and winter beers are coming fast.

Buyer's Notes: De Molen is one of my favorite imported breweries. They have brewing and barrel aging skills that blow me away every time. The former Rasputin Imperial Stout is one of my all time favorite beers. I haven't had the pleasure of drinking this Cuvee version, brewed to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Monks Cafe Sweden, but I can't wait to get it in a glass.
