![]() $10.99 for a 750mL bottle at Flying Fish Brewing Co., 900 Kennedy Blvd., Somerdale, (856) 504-3442, įlying Dog Brewery’s Bloodline Blood Orange IPA burst onto the craft beer scene as a limited release in 2013, and people loved it so much that is has since become a brewery standard every summer. Flying Fish has earned a reputation for their cask conditioned beers, and this bottle is following that trend. After brewing, the beer is aged in oak barrels previously used to make 100 percent agave tequila, which contribute an added bit of color, kick and flavor. Pescado Dorado is one of Flying Fish Brewing Co.’s newer varieties, a Belgian-style golden ale that gets elevated with apricots and saffron. $10.99 for a sixpack at Wegmans Wine, Liquor & Beer, 2 Centerton Road, Mount Laurel, (856) 439-5599, The tart pineapple flavors added into the mix combine with lightly roasted Munich malt and wheat leads to a crisp, refreshing brew that even Ron Burgundy would love. $10 for a six-pack at Medford Wine & Spirits, 175 Route 70, Medford, (609) 953-8773Įvery bottle in Evil Genius Beer Company’s lineup is a tribute to a hit movie or television show, and their I Love Lamp pineapple hefeweizen is no exception. The result? A sweet summer sip that really beats the heat. I’ll stop in here to pick up the gems on occasion, but I’m not going to expect much help from the workers.San Francisco’s 21st Amendment Brewery helped to launch the American fruit beer craze with their wheat brew Hell or High Watermelon, which is brewed with fresh watermelon and mildly hopped to really bring out the fruit flavors. The area is bordering on bad and the store is dingy, I saw a broken bottle for instance on a shelf, it had been emptied but it was sitting empty on the shelf for reasons unknown. The service here is pretty bad, and I wonder if the staff even drink craft beer. The prices were on par with everything else and I am glad I stopped in. Finding over a case of Blackout Stout, for instance, was awesome. When I was checking out the cashier gave me rude looks even.Īs I said earlier the selection is pretty fantastic, there’s a lot of hard to find stuff sitting on the shelves here. I’m guessing the guys that were working don’t drink craft beer though since no conversation attempts worked. The help was bad, I didn’t have a worker approach me or anything, then again it is a Monday. ![]() ![]() I found a Firestone 14, Abacus, Parabola, and Great Lakes Blackout Stout 4 pack here, with many left of each! There’s some single bottles and some bombers here, not a huge selection but they have a lot of things here that you wouldn’t expect. The beer section opens up to a big warehouse feel where there’s a lot of room. Finding the beer wasn’t too hard, but it’s so cluttered in there that it was a bit overwhelming. It’s a bit of a dumpy looking place but it has a lot of beer. The store is very cluttered inside with spirits and wines in your face as you enter. See, problem fixed! Good as new! And such initiative! the last one even apologized for the dust caked onto my bombers while ringing me up, thought it was residue from a beer shower provided by a neighboring broken bottle, promptly proceeded to cover his hands in hand sanitizer and slather them all up and down the bottles. Oh, and some of the workers are super surly! Though not all, I’ve had two previous friendly experiences with workers. Yikes, still seeing seeing three- and four-year-old bottles, which is great if you’re looking for something from the Lost Abbey or Bruery that was spiked with Brett, voila, aged funk at normal prices! 80F is good for Brett, right? They do still get new stock in, though I’ve recently overheard some customers complaining about the coolers not working. Service has also been either indifferent or grumpy, and I can’t see myself coming in for a treasure hunt more than once every year or two. More concerning as the summer gets underway is the poor (and possible lack of) temperature control. Update: It seems that nothing has really changed - lots of dust-covered seasonals (selling unrefrigerated pumpkin beers at full price on Memorial Day weekend is a no-no) and ’specials’, have to be extremely selective about what to pick (no, that two-year-old Ukrainian pale lager is not a good choice). Pro tip: it’s next to one of the two known (by me) independent coffee roasters in the county, Talk n Coffee. Which, of course, means there are some gems to be found! Prices are about par for the area. Dusty bottles mean don’t buy any IPA, but the seasonals are current and fresh and I think it’s mostly the bombers and 750s that don’t get as much movement. Big warehouse-style with beer off in one of the wings, some nice supplementary selection to what is carried by the dominant Canal’s chains, but I didn’t see any 12oz singles, which stymies every beer geek impulse.
