It has finally stopped snowing the grass is green and beer is the drink of choice. Cold, delicious, and cheap is what you want. All May, we will have special pricing of a dollar or more off on the fine beers from our friends in Fort Collins. It does not matter if it comes in a 4 pack, a 6 pack, or a 12 pack it will be on the deal. Odell’s next seasonal St. Lupulin, a mystical legend echoes in the Odell’s brew house – that of St. Lupulin (loop-you-lin) the archetypal hophead. He devoted endless summers to endless rows of hops, tending to the flowers and the beloved resin within – lupulin (minute yellowish-brown hairs obtained from the strobili of the hop plant, formerly used in medicine as a sedative.). Extraordinary oils in this yellow resin provide this dry-hopped extra pale ale with an undeniably pleasing floral aroma and clean, crisp finish. One sip of this seasonal summer ale and you too. Available May through September. Along with the St. Lupulin we carry the rest of Odell’s fantastic line up: Mercenary, Lugene Chocolate Milk Stout, Double Pilsner, 90 Shilling, Cut Throat Porter, IPA, 5 Barrel Pale Ale, Levity, and Easy Street Wheat not to mention a host of their exquisite bombers.

The Simply Naked brand, while launched in 2011, has really been popular with our customers. All of the wines are fermented in stainless, and all you taste is the fresh, clean fruit. When the wine maker does not have the option of altering flaws in the wine, the grapes need to be superior in quality. This was the brainchild of Constellation Brands, a large company that creates and builds wine brands. While not a “family-run” winery, the concept works. Constellation hired wine maker Ryan Flock, a long-time, well-known Sierra Foothills wine maker, to spear-head Simply Naked. When asked about making un-oaked wines he stated, “Seeking out the vineyards to match this vibrant style has been extremely exciting. “We’re continually searching for superb fruit to make wines that truly express the inherent flavor of the grape in the absence of oak. Making this style of wine has been a very refreshing change of pace as a winemaker.” Naked released new varietals just in time for our promotion. Along with the Chardonnay and Cabernet, check out the Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, and Moscato. These will soon be your go-to pool wine, or the ideal porch-pounder. Located in beautiful Bend, Oregon, Deschutes Brewery overlooks the wild and scenic Deschutes River. From this prime real-estate Deschutes has been crafting diverse brews since 1988, brews that span the whole beer spectrum offering something for everyone. Deschutes Brewery names their brews after the majestic landscapes encompassing the greater Bend area. With nature themes and quality brews, Deschutes has created a product that Boulderites can get behind. This June at Pettyjohn’s we will be offering the whole Deschutes six pack lineup for a dollar off, making an already Yea! It’s that wonderful time of year again when the rosé I’ve well-priced beer an even ordered months ago, and dreamed about, starts rolling in. When better deal; the lineup we first built the “Rockin’ Rosé “ display years ago, we heard consists of the newly released River Ale (blonde “no, I don’t like sweet wine”. Over the past five years the style), Chainbreaker White IPA, Obsidian Stout, demand for rosés have more than doubled. Not surprising Inversion IPA, Mirror Pond (pale ale), and last though, we Coloradoans are a smart bunch, realizing these dry, but not least, the Black Butte Porter. While the crisp, beauties are also incredibly food-friendly. Made from scenic picture on your Deschutes beer may not Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sangiovese, Grenache, and just about any red be of a local nature spot, the resemblance to our varietal you can think of, they all have their individual tastes. mountains is there none the less.

We have what Dad wants for Father’s Day Featured Chardonnay Hess $9.99 All Patron Tequila 750 ml. $10.00 OFF In 1978, Donald Hess founded the Hess Collection Winery on Mount Veeder, 2,000 feet above the Napa Valley. A total believer in biodynamic farming practices, Hess wine makers use very little human intervention in the wine making process. This Chardonnay fruit comes from Monterey. Monterey’s cooling fog and coastal breezes create an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay, yielding wines with tantalizing tropical notes and crisp acidity. The core of this wine comes from the Hess 352-acre Shirtail Creek estate vineyard in Monterey’s coastal valley. An ideal spring delight, this wine has aromas of green apples and pineapple, leading into a palate of fresh apples and pears. The mid-palate has a touch of toasty oak, but the well-balanced acidity keeps this refreshing. The finish has a surprising zest with a crisp, fruit-forward finish. This whole line of wine is superior quality, and this Chardonnay is special. It took some arm twisting, but we managed a quantity discount, so enjoy the fruits of Hess and our efforts for the beginning of summer. Tequila is the fermented juice of the agave plant. It’s double distilled, aged in wood casks, and the national drink of Mexico. Tequila has three grades. The Silver is aged for only 60 days, and is hot and fieryfor only $39.95. The Reposado is aged up to one year, and is smooth and mixable- for only $44.95 The Anejo is aged for one to three years and has tones of butterscotch and vanilla. Most love to sip this one- for only $49.95 These are sure to put a big smile on Dad’s face. our customer thank you 15% OFF Any Wine Puchase Sale Items Excluded Expires July 1, 2013 our customer thank you 10% OFF Any Puchase Sale Items Excluded Expires July 1, 2013 613 South Broadway Boulder, Colorado 80305 303-499-BEER (2337) www.pettyjohns.com Drink of the Month Watermelon Rosé Punch Consider this for your Mother’s Day or Graduation Bash 4 cups watermelon balls 2- 750ml. of rosé wine 3 cups club soda Place watermelon balls in the bottom of a punchbowl.
