Our Kölsch is crisp, clean, and subtly fruity inspired by beer tradition from Köln, Germany. Brewed using ale yeast but fermented at cooler temperatures, it strikes a delicate balance between ale and lager characteristics, resulting in a refreshing and easy-drinking experience. Its pale golden color, mild malt sweetness, and gentle hop bitterness make it a perfect choice for those seeking a sessionable yet flavorful brew.
Our Pilsner showcases the delicate noble hop profile from Tettnanger and Mittelfrüh hops, layered over 100% Bohemian Pilsner malt. Expect a well-balanced bitterness and subtle floral notes, characteristic of the style. With a clean, crisp finish, it's a refreshing choice for any beer enthusiast.
In German, “hefe” refers to the yeast which remains in suspension, giving the beer its cloudy appearance, and “weizen” means wheat. Wheat malt creates a smooth body and precise fermentation by a weizen yeast strain imparts banana and clove into the flavor profile.
An amber-reddish Austrian beer style with caramel, malty notes and a clean, dry finish. A hint of noble hops and clean fermentation creates a balanced, drinkable, and all-round crowd pleaser of a beer.
Our Helles Bock with mild malt character balanced by crisp, noble hops is brewed in honor of Eric’s Austrian family on his mother’s side. This style is traditionally served in May between the last thaw and the first bloom aka the “Bavarian Spring.” This beer has the headbutt of a bock but is more crisp and drinkable than other bocks in the herd.
Repping the East Coast style, our Hazy Session IPA offers juicy, bold flavors and a full body without the hoppy bitterness. We stack in hop flavors starting in the whirlpool and saturated with an aggressive dry hop of Idaho 7, Citra, and a X014 experimental hop to create a crushable mosaic of berry, passion fruit, and mango.
IPA - We may be euro-centric, but we still want to give the IPA lovers something to talk about. Our west coast style IPA pairs clean bitterness with the dankness of Simcoe and Centennial and Southern Cross, layered over pale malt for a crisp, dry finish.
A dark German lager that balances roasted yet smooth malt flavors and aroma with moderate hop bitterness. The lighter body, dryness, and lack of a harsh, burnt, or heavy aftertaste helps make this beer quite drinkable with a clean lager finish.
Our Gose is a tart, lightly-bittered historical central European wheat beer with a distinctive but restrained salt and coriander character. Very refreshing, with a dry finish, high carbonation, and bright flavors. Similar to the hefeweizen with its cloudiness, but with a gentle tart flavor.
We also now carry non-alcoholic beer offerings.
I started working in breweries for about 9 years, started in the front of the house, then moved to the back scrubbing floors and kegs, to cellarman, to brewer. I've always been interested in it, as most of us in the industry it started with a little homebrewing. I'm excited to be a part of the team and bring everything I've learned from previous experience and continue to build on that experience. Lagers are what I love to brew, so I'm definitely excited to be in a place that is focused on lagers and traditional European styles.
