Last May, Bill had planned a trip to Michigan to run a marathon so he could qualify for the 2008 Boston Marathon. While there, he decided to take a trip to visit Bell’s Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo. When he came back, he brought along some beer with him. One of these beers was the Consecrator Doppelbock. I remember it being this wonderfully malty, clean bock with a slight bit of sweetness. It was a really wonderful beer.

Well, I was just made aware that the Doppelbock has reached St. Louis and is now in stock at the Wine and Cheese Shop in Clayton and Rock Hill. Make sure to pick this one up and try it out for yourself. If it was a wonderful beer in May, it’ll be even better in February.

Just in time for these chilly winter nights, Morgan Street brewery has released their Dopplebock. I’ll let Drew do the honor of tell you about this beer:

It’s a rich and full bodied winter warmer with loads of malt character. It’s packed with Pilsner and Munich malts, light brown - dark amber in color and impeccably smooth. If you need a winter warmer without getting bowled over with alcohol, hops or spices a pint of this will do the trick.

Drew from Morgan Street Brewery informs me that along with their Pumpkin Honey Wheat, a new batch of Irish Stout is on tap now. They also have got a batch of Doppelbock fermenting away and should be available soon.

Be sure to visit Morgan Street and say “hi” to Drew and the rest of the brewers down there.
