If you were paying close attention to the STL Hops Twitter account, you might have seen that Ska Brewing out of Durango, Colorado has officially been registered in the state of Missouri.  What does this mean?  Well, it means that Missouri Beverage can begin distributing Ska beers.

What beers will be coming into Missouri?  Here’s a list that was registered with the state:

  • Ska Brewing Buster Nut Brown Ale
  • Ska Brewing Decadent Imperial IPA
  • Ska Brewing ESB Special Ale
  • Ska Brewing Euphoria Pale Ale
  • Ska Brewing Modus Hoperandi India Pale Ale
  • Ska Brewing Nefarious Ten Pin Imperial Porter
  • Ska Brewing Pin Stripe Red Ale
  • Ska Brewing Steel Toe Stout
  • Ska Brewing Ten Pin Porter
  • Ska Brewing True Blonde Ale
  • Ska Brewing True Blonde Dubbel Belgian Style Golden Ale

It’s important to note that while all of these beers were registered with the state, it’s not a guarantee we’ll see them all when the first few shipments of Ska arrive. I’ve been told that some of the beers that we will be seeing are Modus Hoperandi, ESB Special Ale, Buster Nut Brown, and True Blonde.

And don’t worry, we’ll be seeing bottles, cans and draught Ska available in St. Louis. Look out for Ska in the next couple of weeks.

Just in time for your favorite summer activities, I’m happy to announce the Ska Brewing out of Durango, Colorado will soon be arriving in Missouri.

I’ve been informed that the beer is currently in the process of being registered with the State and that we should hopefully see it in local stores this summer.

Some of Ska’s offering include:

True Blonde Ale
Like golden waves of yeast crashing on a golden beach of golden sand with golden taps spewing golden beer that’s smooth as gold.

Ten Pin Porter
Dark like motor oil on a Minnesota night, it rolls down your gullet like a calming stream full od rich and tasting malt.

Modus Hoperandi
A mix of Citrus and pine that will remind you of the time you went on a vision quest with your Native American cousin and woke up in a pine-grove full of grapefruit trees.

Special ESB

This English Special Bitter is our special ale.  Special because it was the second canned microbrew in the nation (after Dale’s Pale Ale).  Special bevause the Galena hops and Pale Ale malts create a crisp first sip, a hoppy tongue, and a malty sweet finish.

As some of you may know, one of Ska’s claims to fame is that the can some of their beers like the Modus Hoperandi and the Special ESB. These are perfect for places that don’t allow you to use glass, like parks, parades and float trips.

The list of great craft beer in a can available in St. Louis keeps growing and growing.
