WVLM presents Great Divide for Beer of the Month!


West Vail Liquor Mart presents Great Divide Brewery for March's beer of the month! Great Divide Brewery has a beer to please every palate, and West Vail Liquor Mart has a price to please every budget. From the classic pale ale to your Scottish inspired ales, Great Divide knows how to brew it.
First on the list is the Great Divide Denver Pale Ale. This is your classic pale ale beer with a hint of malt in the body and a complex hop aroma. This beer has both a bitter hop finish and distinct flavor. The Denver Pale Ale pairs great with burgers and lamb, or pastas with rich hearty sauces. $7.49
The next gem to come from the Great Divide Brewery is called the Titan India Pale Ale. This beer is hopped to the max. The hop flavor bursts with pine tree aromas and citrus zest. The finish provides a lingering hop bite with malty rich sweetness. Pair with grilled fish or a cheese and cracker plate. $7.49
For those of us who love an easy drinking ale after a long day on the hill, a Samuri has your name on it. Samuri ale is an unfiltered ale brewed with the addition of rice. This lends to a frutiy, clean and crisp tasting beer that is the definition of refreshing. Pair with seared fish, sake, and blue cheeses. $7.49
If your looking for a Belgian style beer, look no further than Hades from Great Divide. This Belgian style ale is comprised of a rare yeast strain that gives this ale a complex aroma and hearty flavors of spice. This Belgian has a medium body with a fresh balanced finish. A perfect pair with shellfish, hard meats and cheese. $8.49
To round out the table, Great Divide has come out with a seasonal beer called, Claymore Scotch Ale. Named after a medieval Scottish sword, Claymore ale is a tribute to the "Wee Heavy" beers of Scotland. This beer has a lot of warming characters. Sporting a dark ruby tint, this beer starts with a mouthful of caramel malt and a slight hint of hops, and finishes with the pride of Scotland in the back of your throat. Enjoy this brew with roasted measts and smoked fish. $8.49
Can't decide which flavor to endulge yourself with? Then try the Great Divide Sampler 12 pack which includes four different styles of beers. Your sure to find a favorite! $13.99
