Brasserie Cantillon 50N-4E - Coming Soon
Lambic breweries have a long tradition of using second-hand casks to age their beer. Most barrels would have contained red wine, but some would have had white wine or even port. The first lambic to be stored in any cask would always have a unique taste.
In March 2005, Brasserie Cantillon bought some casks from the Cognac region of France, where the divine liquid had been stored in them for 15 years. The first lambic to be stored in them would extract all those flavours from the wood as it aged gently for about two years.
When we first tasted this lambic in early 2007, we were overwhelmed by the extraordinary flavour, and decided to bottle this beer as a "Cuvee Speciale." We selected the very best lambic from the 2005 brew in order to create this Gueuze, a blend with a truly unique taste.
The name of the beer reflects the geographical position of the brewery in the centre of Brussels.

DCB Note: This isn't an American craft beer... In fact, it's not even really influenced by the industry. But Cantillon is great enough that, when they get a new beer out, we're psyched! A few bottles have shown up in the USA, but it's all people bringing it from the brewery. Looks like this will actually be bottled and imported now! Yeah!

Terrapin Side Project VOlume 1: Hop Shortable Ale - Coming Soon
One time release! Grab it while you can! To our brewers "Side Project" signifies an opportunity to experiment with new ingredients and unique styles while utilizing their creativity. To our fans it represents a chance to sample a unique beer crafted just for them. Each "Side Project" volume is a limited edition, one-time batch featuring a new... BREWING IMPROVISATION.
2008 will forever we known in professional brewing circles as the year of the Hop Shortage. Brewers everywhere are scrambling to find hops just to produce their standard line of beers. Some are so nervous they are even cutting back on brewing hoppy beers. NOT US! In typical Terrapin fashion we are going against the grain (or against the hop, so to speak). If there is going to be a shortage of hops, why not put them all into one huge hop bomb of a beer? We hope you enjoy our HOP SHORTAGE ALE.
