BELGIAN BLONDE

A beer with a very light color and body with a huge fruity/spicy aroma from the use of Belgian yeast. It has a mild bitterness and finishes sweet. This beer is smooth and easy to drink.

• 6.6% ABV
• Fruity spicy aroma
• Yellow color

BELGIAN PALE

Everyone else has a pale ale, so why not the Belgians, too? This would be the most unique of the pales, however. The Belgian yeast adds clove and spice flavor and aroma along with a fruitiness. Hops are subdued and there is a light bitterness.

• 6% ABV
• Low bitterness
• Fruity spicy aroma
• Light amber color
• 22 IBUs

BROWN ALE

This traditional version of a British style Brown Ale has a rich, malty aroma reminiscent of fresh-baked multi-grain bread with some moderate caramel notes. Caramel and toffee sweetness with hints of bread and dark fruit flavors are balanced with a medium body and smooth finish. Little to no hop aromas or bitterness makes this a perfect beer for anyone who craves an easy drinking, malty beer. .

• 5.1% ABV
• Malt forward
• Brown color
• 25 IBUs

BROWN PORTER

This dark brown ale shows rich aromas and flavors of roast coffee and baker’s chocolate. Medium bodied with a smooth dry finish make this a very easy to drink dark ale. Pair with chocolate covered almonds for special treat.

• 5.3% ABV
• Dark brown color
• 25 IBUs

BUCKWHEAT ALE

This beer does not really fit into a style guideline. It is something our brewmaster came up with, somewhat similar to a British mild. The use of Buckwheat is rare in the brewing industry and it contributes an earthy aroma very different from other beers. Low bitterness.

• 5.9% ABV
• Complex malt character
• Light reddish/brown color
• 25 IBUs

COFFEE PORTER

This is a balanced, roasty, toasty porter brewed with British specialty malts, hops and a special blend of Costa Rican and Guatemalan coffee hand roasted in small batches by Turlock Coffee. It has layers of cocoa and coffee throughout with a balanced bitterness.

• 5.3% ABV
• Little noticeable hop presence
• Toasty, coffee aroma
• Dark brown to black color
• 28 IBUs

ESB (EXTRA SPECIAL BITTER)

The English are masters at a wide range of pale ales. Commonly referred to as bitters, the Extra Special Bitter falls in the higher alcohol range compared to Ordinary Bitter, and Special or Best Bitter. All the malt and hops for this brew are from the UK for a more traditional flavor and aroma.

• 5.3% ABV
• Floral and fruity aroma
• Mild caramel malt undertones
• Moderate bitterness
• Amber color
• 35 IBUs

FRUIT WHEAT

The term “Crystal Wheat” or “Kristallweizen” refers to a wheat beer that has been filtered to remove the yeast and wheat proteins that cause the cloudy appearance of traditional German “Weizen” style beers. Our version uses a different yeast strain than its German cousin to remove the banana and clove aromas common to wheat beers in that part of the world. We also add fruit puree during secondary fermentation for natural fruit flavor and aroma without additional sweetness. All of this adds up to a light, crisp, lager-like wheat beer with just a hint of fruit to complement the beer.

• 5.3% ABV
• Low bitterness
• Slightly tart
• Light straw color with a slight pink in the body and head
• 16 IBUs

GALAXY PALE ALE

Galaxy Pale celebrates malt and hop balance. This West Coast style Pale Ale has a slightly dry, moderately bitter finish. Aromas of citrus, pine, and hints of tropical fruit are present from the use of Australian Galaxy hops.p>

• 5.4% ABV
• Deep gold color
• Bright hop aroma
• 25 IBUs

LAGER

The lager category encompasses many beers that use lager yeast, which ferments at the bottom of a vessel and can withstand cold temperatures, while ales are traditionally top fermenters and will not ferment cold. Lagers are cold conditioned to smooth out flavors. Ours is based on a Munich Helles style developed in Germany as a light colored lager with a balanced malt and hop profile.

• 4.3% ABV
• Low hop bitterness
• Grainy pilsner malt aroma
• Light gold color
• 14 IBUs

RED IPA

Like most American Craft Breweries, we believe that you can never have too many hoppy beers. Our Red IPA has a complex hop aroma and uses a healthy dose of British crystal malts as well as a sacrificial handful of chocolate malt, giving it a reddish color and malty foundation to balance out the seven different hop varieties used.

• 6.8% ABV
• Complex hop aroma
• Reddish color
• 70 IBUs

RYE EXTRA BLACK

Pilsner, Two Row and Carafa III malts make for a dark colored black pale ale with a noticeable hop bitterness that brings a dry finish. The use of Rye malt adds a subtle spicy character. The Carafa malt gives the beer its black color while adding a very mellow dark malt balance making it a perfect intro beer for those afraid of the dark!

• 4.8% ABV
• Black color
• 30 IBUs

RYE EXTRA PALE

Pilsner and Two Row malts make for a very light colored pale ale with a noticeable hop bitterness that brings a dry finish. The use of Rye malt adds a subtle spicy character. It has properties similar to a light lager, so it is a good intro beer.

• 4.8% ABV
• Spicy rye and hop aroma
• Straw color
• 30 IBUs

CRYSTAL WHEAT

This is one of our lightest beers. Schweet is a filtered, wheat lager with a nice mild character. Flaked oats add a touch of mouth feel and body to the beer. It has a mellow, slightly sweet, grainy flavor with low bitterness. A great beer for any time you just want a clean, easy drinking beer.

• 4.5% ABV
• Grain aroma
• Light straw color
• 11 IBUs

SCOTTISH ALE

This is another malt showcase that, like the Scotch Ale, has a full body and somewhat sweet finish, but has a more sessionable alcohol content allowing for the responsible enjoyment of several pints. It has an aroma that is reminiscent of a little Doppelbock.

• 5.1% ABV
• Low bitterness
• Malty aroma
• Deep brown in color
• 25 IBUs

SESSION

This amber colored beer was brewed to be low alcohol, full flavored with a citrus, tropical, and stone fruit hop character. White wheat and oats help boost the body and mouth feel, while low alcohol and low bitterness make it a very sessionable, easy drinking ale..

• 4.3% ABV
• Amber color
• 23 IBUs

STOUT

Another classic British creation, although the history is a bit sketchy, we will say that Stout is a stronger version of a Porter (another beer style) characterized by relatively large amounts of roasted barley and/or black malt making the brew very dark and giving it a roast bitterness with coffee–like and chocolate flavors. Our stout uses the addition of oats and brown sugar for added complexity.

• 5.6% ABV
• Low hop bitterness
• Roasty with complex malt character
• Black color
• 28 IBUs

VIENNA LAGER

This is like Marzen’s little brother. Vienna, Marzen and Oktoberfest beers share a similar origin and fall into the same category of lagers. The Vienna is the lightest in color of the three. Vienna malt is a specially kilned malt that adds a particular aroma and flavor to the beer, as well as adding a fullness of body. We threw in some dark Munich malt, as well, to punch up the color just a bit.

• 4.3% ABV
• Low bitterness
• Mild malt aroma
• Light orange color
• 20 IBUs
