IPA
Our original flagship beer. Our IPA is a classic American take on the original IPA’s from Burton-upon-Trent. Built on a base of Golden Promise malt and just a touch of Crystal malt. We then layer in the classic American C-hops: Columbus, Centennial & Cascade. Blending new & old world together to create an IPA our Fathers would be proud of. Light biscuit & toffee from the malts meld well with the citrus pith, evergreen & orange from the hops. Solid bitterness overpowers the touch of malt sweetness and finishes dry.

None More Black
Norwegian brewers have an old tradition of brewing a beer and storing it so if they passed away during the year there would be beer for their funeral. If they didn’t die they would drink it in celebration. Our specialty brewer Mike is following this tradition with this pitch black strong ale aged for 12 months in whiskey barrels. Mike made it through another year so the public gets to enjoy this beer that is so black that if you ask how much more black it could be, the answer is none…..none more black.

Sunseeker Pils
We spent nearly 18 months developing this Italian Keller Pilsner. We took a blend of German malt and Riverbend custom made Pilsner malt, and meticulously mashed it over 2 different steps. Then we layered in Czech Saaz & NZ Southern Cross throughout the boil. After fermenting with our house lager yeast we dryhop the beer with more Czech Saaz at just under a pound per barrel. We then lager it cold for 3 weeks before transferring unfiltered and then packaging. Expect a fluffy white head & great lacing on this crisp straw colored Pilsner. Noble hop spice & herbal aromas greet you before the first sip. Cracker, low biscuit notes and a touch of fresh hay round out the malt flavors. Then the hops grab you to showcase Noble hop spice & herbal notes with a touch of citrus. Dry with a pronounced minerality bitterness, this beer is hard to put down.
