 Raspberry Gose is BACK!!! This contemporary gose uses wheat, acidulated and pale malts. We add coriander and salt in the brewhouse to add earthy and saline notes.

Crisp grapefruit lager

 

Our grapefruit Helles lager is a crisp, light lager brewed
with rice and pilsner malt in the brewhouse and hopped
with Mandarina Bavaria hops to give a slight citrus

it on REAL grapefruit puree. The resulting beer is a beer

Winter-inspired can rendering with snow  for cranberry berliner sour beer.

Cranberry Berliner

   "Berliner Weisse" is a style of sour, wheat beer that  was popularized in 16th Century, Berlin, Germany.  We only call ours "Berliner", however, because instead of  traditional wheat, we use rye for a spicier flavor.  We sour the wort to get the desired level of acidity, then boil  it, and add mulling spices. A blend of house yeast & farmhouse  yeasts are added during fermentation creates a subtle, wild  flavor.  Finally, we add fruit during the secondary fermentation  to round out the tartness of our Cranberry Berliner.  We hope you will drink this flavorful beer to  warm-up through the cold months while enjoying the benefits  of its lower ABV. 

 ABV 5.6%   IBU 15  SRM 7
