Peroni Nastro Azzuro 5.1%
Nastro Azzurro
is a pale larger and is the Peroni Brewery's premium lager brand which was launched in 1963. The name means "Blue Ribbon" in Italian, in honor of the Blue Riband won by Italian Ocean Liner SS Rex

best selling pale lager in Italy and is made with barley malt, corn grits, hop pellets and hop extract. By the 1950s and 1960s,
Peroni had become the brand of beer most recognized throughout the Italian peninsula and today, market research confirms
Peroni as the most recognized and most widely consumed Italian beer. We are pleased

Carling 4.1%
Carling
beer is brewed at 137 High Street Burton on Trent where British barley is malted at various temperaures and times to give
each beer its distinct colour flavour and aroma. The history of Carling dates back to 1818 when Thomas Carling, farmer from Yorkshire,
took his family to the rich farmlands of Easter Canada. In 1840 he began a small brewing operation in Ontario selling beer
to soldiers at the local military camp. By 1878 his sons, John and William, had built a new six-story brewery and Carling
became a national name in Canada. In 1999 Carling achieved sales of
1 billion pints in the UK, breaking the previous record and strengthening its position as the No.1 selling lager. In 2007
they sold 2.3 billion pints in the UK, over 6 billion worldwide. During 2009 the sales reached a new record with 4.1 billion
pints, and an amazing 11.6 billion pints worldwide. The estimated worldwide sales during 2010 is 17.6 billion pints.

Pilsner Urquell 4.2%
Pilsner Urquell emerged from a small Bohemian village in the 19th
century and is the worlds original Pilsner or Golden Beer. The first Pilsener, brewed in
1842, was a lager unlike any other. Its brilliant clarity, golden color, and light body made it an instant success in a world
that was accustomed only to dark, heavy, cloudy beers. Its popularity soared and within a couple of decades it was being exported
around the world. No sooner had shipments of this new beer reached America than brewers set to work duplicating
the style which manifested in the popularity of its most famous American successor, Budweiser. However
no imitator can hope to match the true character of this Czech original. Brewed with a combination of soft Plzen water, home-malted barley, superb native
Saaz hops, and a lager yeast originally smuggled out of Bavaria more than 150 years ago, Pilsner Urquell is to this day a true king of beers.
Hoegaarden 4.8%
Hoegaarden is named after the village in which it was first brewed,
a small town in the wheat-growing Brabant farmlands close to Leuven. Its origins date back to 1445 and it is generally regarded
as the original classics of its style. The village of Hoegaarden had been known for its white beers since
the Middle Ages but around 1955, the last local witbier (white beer) brewery, Tomsin, closed its doors. Pierre Celis, a milkman, decided some ten years later to try to revive the style and started a new brewery in his
hay loft. Celis used the traditional ingredients of water, yeast, wheat, hops, coriander and dried
Orange peel and with demand for the product continuing to grow, Celis bought Hougardia, a former distillery to expand his
brewing operations. In November 2005, InBev announced the brewery in Hoegaarden was to close in late 2006 with production
moving to InBev's larger brewery in Jupille. The closure sparked protests from Hoegaarden locals, upset at the loss of
the town's most famous symbol and largest employer. The move was never completed
and on September 10, 2007, Inbev decided to keep the production in Hoegaarden. We are pleased
to sell Hoegarrden White beer on draft at the Spitting Feathers.

Stella Artois 5.2%Stella Artois is brewed in Belgium the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ukraine. The first recorded history of Stella
Artois is
in 1366, when records of taxes exist on Leuven's Den Horen Brewery, a brewery that is still in existence today. In 1708, Sebastian Artois became
the master brewer at Den Horen, and gave his name to the brewery in 1717. From that date, the name Artois was associated with the town of Louvain, its brewery and
great Belgian beers. In 1926, following a time-honored tradition, the brewery produced its annual special Christmas beer.
The beer was so exceptionally clear that it was immediately christened Stella from the Latin for star. It was so popular that
production moved to a year-round basis. Stella is now the known as the Beer from the land of beer". It has not only become
the classic Belgian beer but also the classic European beer.
