Bring a rarity to the Dilly Deli

Chuck and Robbie Warinner are hoping to round up the clientele for a possible-rare-special occasion. In fact, they want to be the top vote-getter in the country.

“We need your help - even if you’re not a bear aficionado - to bring a rare, very special beer to our taps in late September,” Chuck, who along with Robbie own the Dilly Deli in Mariemont, said.

The beer that the owners desparately want to bring to the Dilly Deli, ranked as the 43rd best beer seller in America (according to BeerAdvocate.com), is from Montreal, Canada, and is called Dieu de Ciel Péché Mortel. It is a nine percent Imperial Stout made with coffee and between the “heavenly morning pick-me-up flavor” with a rich, thick drowsy nightcap character.

“It is just too much pleasure all at once, which is why the brewer named it Péché Mortel, which is French for mortal sin,” Chuck said.

But here is where the owners need the help of their clientele: The Dieu de Ciel brewery in Montreal has developed a prestigious name in making beer, and their Péché Mortel regularly appears on Top 10 Beers world list. The beer is rare, with only 50 cases brewed at a time, and this at only three or maybe four times a year.

Earlier this year bottles were released for the first time in the United States and now, for the first time, six kegs of the beer are being released.

The importer, Shelton Brothers, is hosting an online vote to determine the six places these kegs will go.

“Presently, we are number seven (on the list). It's time to mobilize the troops,” Chuck said, kiddingly adding, “our honor is at stake, as well as our reputation ... God help us, we so desperately want to taste this stuff on draft.”

People can help bring a keg to the Dilly Deli by e-mailing their votes to contest@sheltonbrothers.com

Simply write “Péché Mortel keg for Dilly Deli” on the subject line. The compete voting rules are online at ww.sheltonbrothers.com as well as links to more information about the beer.
