Two for His Nibs - Collaboration with J Carver Distillery

We took our beloved "One for His Nob" and elevated it to new heights! After resting in freshly-dumped, wheated whiskey barrels from our friends at J. Carver Distillery for 12 months, this barrel-aged beauty is read to shine. Indulge in the bold and unique aromatics of our honeybush vanilla red ale, now layered with smooth whiskey warmth and lovely oaked notes. This is one you won't want to miss!

Banoffee Pie – Double Stout

ABV: 8%

Banoffee Pie – Double Stout

Banoffee Pie Double Stout Something dessert-esque has made its way to our line up, y’all. We don’t skirt into full-on pastry stout territory here, but let’s say “pastry lite”… all the hallmarks are there, just not as intense and full-bore. Needless to say though, it’s darn tasty! Inspired by its namesake, all the lil’ bits are in there, but cohesive enough to remain a stalwart stout at its core. Built on a mixed base of Maris Otter and Golden Promise, both from across The Pond. A myriad of crystal malts, along with choice roasted malts, and a couple kinds of oats make for a lovely, lightly sweetened experience. We also decided to toss 40 lbs. of graham crackers into the mash to be extra and get some pie crust nods as well… why not? A specialized yeast strain that tosses off loads of banana aromatics rounds everything else out, while adding another crucial element to the whole of the beer. Big, yet beguilingly smooth… sweet, but not cloyingly so… and hits all the right notes to suggest dessert-y noms. Come on down and try a pour of this dark libation!

Double Current Obsession

ABV: 8.8%

Double Current Obsession

Double the current, double the fun! We took our golden baby NE IPA and cranked it up a notch. Bigger mouthfeel, more hops, and a higher ABV… good things come to those to wait, that’s for sure. Built on a base of pilsner malt with gobs of both wheat and oats to bolster the body and add a smooth mouthfeel. A sprinkle of both spelt and dextrin help it all along as well. The duo of El Dorado and Idaho 7 grace the whirlpool, while the trio of El Dorado CGX, Idaho 7 CGX, and Vista were added in droves for a wallop of a dry hop addition. And last, but not least, our favored hazed out yeast strain rounds it all out to a wonderful finish. Bigger and bolder, yet still smooth… this bigger sibling to our flagship NE IPA makes itself known with aplomb. Don’t mind the smaller format pour size, trust me it's worth it.

Creekside – Light Lager *CANS ONLY

Reminiscent of your favorite cheapo, ever-reliable standby fridge beer… this lil’ number was made to be enjoyed on endless repeat for any reason at any time. [br] Built on a base of mega lightly kilned pilsner malt, with a smack of flaked corn for an increased light body and mouthfeel. We tossed in a literal small handful of neutral hops to keep it crisp. One of our favored lager strains rounded it out to a bone-dry finish. It sat and slumbered in one of our neat horizontal lagering vessels, low and slow, for many weeks on end to get crystal clear and maximize drinkability. [br] Made to be slayed in the shade, sun, around the lake, your basement, a ballgame, playing cards, grilling your favs, and etc. into perpetuity. [br] Cheers!

Sleeveless Vest – West Coast Pils - Collaboration with Little Thistle Brewing

Howdy, y’all! We proudly introduce to you an extra crispy lil’ number born from a solid braintrust between us here at Nine Mile and the excellent crew down at Little Thistle in Rochester, MN. Wait… aren’t all vests sleeveless though? Well, yeah. Unless one is on a roll excitedly explaining a killer “sleeveless vest” in conversation whilst already a few pints down the gullet. Ope… dummy!Built on a base of mixed base of Floor-Malted Bohemian Pilsner and Eraclea Pilsner for a sturdy, simple canvas with bits o’ nuance. Lil’ smidges of Dextrin and Acidulated malts lend body and mild complexity. Kettle additions of Cascade, Citra, and Centennial CGX leech lovely little aromatics into the fold. Chinook CGX and Citra Cryo further push punchy citrus and wisps of tropical fruit on the nose without getting anywhere near pale ale or IPA territory.The “west coast” part of this pils is a nod to the bold aromatics/flavors of westy pales and IPAs without becoming one itself. It retains its crushable identity while cheekily wearing a disguise of bright hops on the surface. The amalgamation is damn delicious!Light, bright, punchy, and effervescent… with a snappy bitterness that disappears quickly into a clean finish.And If y’all haven’t been down to Little Thistle to imbibe their liquid wares, getcha selves there sooner than later!!

Our malt bill got a little bit of a facelift: now featuring a base malt designed specifically for IPAs from the folks over at Gambrinus Malting to provide balanced sweetness and body that allows our hops to really shine. In the kettle, Cascade, El Dorado, and Centennial CGX hops come together to give us plenty of bite, while a hefty dry hop of Cascade, Chinook CGX, and Columbus CGX provide a classically strong nose of citrus and pine that will have you thinking you’re sipping on the West Coast. Easy drinking and perfect for any occasion, make a statement today by ordering a couple of these bad boys!

Sol Intent – Thiolized New England IPA

ABV: 6.8%

Sol Intent – Thiolized New England IPA

We’ve got another slapper of a NEIPA for y’all right here. It’s bright & punchy, with massive tropical and citrus tones swirling into a cohesive, delicious hazed out ale. Built on a base of local MN Pilsner malt for a clean canvas. White wheat, malted oats, flaked wheat, flaked oats (all also local MN), and dextrin fill out the rest of the grist & body. Calypso hops in the mash get their lovely compounds unleashed in spectacular fashion, while Trident Salvo in the whirlpool adds its own considerable flair. Cashmere & Strata lend their talents to dry-hopping. And once again calling forth the powers of mighty thiols we utilized Omega Yeast Lab’s newest thiolized yeast strain, Helio Gazer, to full effect to get those overt fruit-forward notes to head to the foreground. Make this one your “sol intent” (or at least of of them!) while y’all are down here at the taproom!

Azacca & Idaho 7 work together to create flavors/aromas of punchy citrus, bright mango, & a hint of dank pine.

House Pub Ale – English Style Mild

As a tip of the hat & a big nod to traditional ales across the proverbial pond, we crafted up an English-Style Mild as our House Pub Ale! The malt bill is made up of 100 percent British malts. Maris Otter, Golden Naked Oats, Pale Chocolate, Crystal T-50, Dextrin, & Brown Malt meld together to offer up varied notes of toast, nuttiness, light toffee, Tootsie Rolls, & a wisp of roast. And while malt is undoubtedly the star of the show, a traditional English yeast strain adds slight notes of oaky wood & a bit o’ body too.

Mallet Mike’s Rye Porter

ABV: 5.5%

Collaboration with Mike the Electrician

Mallet Mike’s Rye Porter - Collaboration with Mike the Electrician

Named after our electrician, Mike, whose mallet the production team borrowed often. The mallet itself actually fell into the mash accidentally while making this beer. Our head brewer, John, was flabbergasted to see it come out of the mash/lauter tun while he was graining out. Confusion turned to laughter & the name for this robust dark ale was born. Built upon a mixed base of stout malt and Maris Otter, which provide a smooth & slightly nutty canvas to layer specialty malts. White wheat, dextrin, & a mix of varied roasted & caramel malts give off color, complexity, & nuance. Moderate doses of flaked & crystal rye lend a light dryness & blend well into the whole.
