Our collaboration beer with Glacier Hops Ranch. In an effort to use a new hop breed that was discovered among the commercial hop field of Glacier Hops Ranch, we partnered with them to create a West Coast Style IPA that puts Ahhhroma™ hops front and center. A clear, pale gold body topped by a cream-colored head, the aroma greets you with a punch of fruit: pineapple, mango, papaya, guava, pear, grapefruit and peach all mingle together. The finish is dry and bitter.

Inspired by a Mezcal Paloma, we took a Gose base recipe, and added oak-smoked wheat malt and grapefruit peel to give us a more nuanced experience that marries smoke, salt and tartness in a unique, refreshing, patio-friendly beer. This beer is incredibly good for pairing food with, and will also make a killer beermosa with grapefruit juice!

A vibrant gold body with a light sheen, topped by a frothy, off-white head. The aroma is filled with notes of fresh baked country bread, light clover honey, and grassy hops. The flavor follows with a light malt sweetness balanced against a mild bitterness. There is a very subtle fruitiness in the finish, thanks to the esters from the yeast. The result is one of the more “lager-like” ales one could ask for.

Our most costly and intense beer we have made yet, our Anniversary Ale was brewed for over 13 hours, and utilized 8 different malts from around the world, 3 different hop varities and 2 different strains of yeast. The result is a complex crimson-colored beer that shines with rich dried fruits. Full-bodied and hefty alcohol that hides its strength well, with a very elevated carbonation level that lightens the beer and leaves the palette refreshed. Pair this beer with food of a stronger intensity.

This quite uncommon beer style is rarely seen in brewpubs, likely because it's hard to pinpoint what exactly this style of beer is, with no approved beer judging standards, and an almost folklore history to it's background. The biere de mars is a cousin of the biere de garde, but usually lighter, fresher and more related to the spring release it is named after. Our Bloom & Doom is brewed with barley, wheat and rye, and hopped with French Alsatian hops, and fermented with a German Ale yeast. Look for notes of baked bread, cherry blossom and red plum.

A brick red ale with solid cushy tan foam, this red IPA was brewed with Pale, Munich, Honey, Copper Carapils, Wheat, and Blackprinz malt, hopped with Mosaic, Ariana, Sorachi Ace and Vista hops, and fermented with English Ale yeast. Look for notes of sweet brown bread, melon, grapefruit, and dank green hops. The bitterness is elevated, since this is an IPA, but it attempts to balance the richer flavors of the abundant specialty malts.

A collaboration beer with world class brewer and Advanced Cicerone, Taylor Donner. A black kolsch brewed with hibiscus flowers, Barbe Rouge and Wakatu hops. A pitch black body topped by a persistent tan head. The aroma is a subtle mix of dark chocolate, black currant and underneath it all, tangy hibiscus. The flavor brings it all together, with a light roastiness that is complimented by mid-pallate flavors of mulberry and cacao. The hibiscus and lime flavors steer the overall taste in a distinctly more tangy direction, and brings a balancing lightness to the dark.
