Mutineer Magazine’s Brian Kropf pays homage to rare beers and the people who love them in a story in the November/December issue titled LTD. – 19 Limited Release Beers.

A profile of some of America’s (and the world’s for that matter) most difficult to acquire beers, among the beverages featured are Lost Abbey’s über-rare Sinners Blend and Port Brewing’s bourbon barrel-aged lubricant, Older Viscosity.

The article begins:

It’s 7 A.M. and the sun is just starting to peek its head out over the tall buildings of the urban landscape. The streets are quiet, and most people are still in bed, yet there is a line of people half a block in length stretching down the sidewalk. One might assume that this is a line for the newest video game console or concert tickets. But it isn’t. The people in this line are fine beverage fanatics waiting to buy limited release beer.

You can read the rest of the story in the November / December issue of Mutineer Magazine, on sale at newsstands now.

Wine Enthusiast Magazine has published its list of the top 25 beers of 2009. We’re please to find two Lost Abbey beers — Cuvee de Tomme and Duck Duck Gooze — made the list, both with excellent ratings of 93 out of 100. Along with our neighbor and good friend Stone Brewing, we’re the only breweries to have two beers on the list (the Stone-Nonge-Jolly Pumpkin collaboration, Special Winter Ale, and Vertical Epic 09.09.09 both scored very solid 92’s).

Here’s a selection from the Cuvee review in the article:

…A ton of things going on in the mouth: flavors of bourbon, sour cherry, coffe cream, walnut and more balanced by appropriate acidityto counter the weight and heft of the flavor profile. An infinite finish with minimal carbonation and high abv makes this an ecellent sipper to be shared among good friends or stored in the cellar for years to come.

You can read the full article on the Wine Enthusiast website here (PDF file, via wineenthusist.com).

The print issue should be on newsstands shortly.
