Statement Of Westy – West Coast IPA

If you’re new around these parts, then there are two things you should know about us here at Nine Mile Brewing: 1) We love a good ol’ West Coast IPA, and 2) We’ll never stop until we’ve made the best around! Join us in imbibing in our latest crack at the latter, our “Statement of Westy.”Like it’s most recent predecessor, SOW is crisp, clean, and (obviously) hop-forward—but we like to play around in the kitchen and keep folks on their toes. 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!

The Scimitar – Red Rye IPA

ABV: 6.3%

The Scimitar – Red Rye IPA

May the Fourth be with you all!! We’ve got a banger of a beer going on tap today. Being the nerds that we all are, we put our heads together and came up with a Red Rye IPA to celebrate the holiest day in all of Star Wars nerdom. Enter from left stage, and named after Darth Maul’s iconic Sith Infiltrator starfighter… The Scimitar! Built on a mixed base of brand new Mars malt with a smidge of Pilsner to give it a lovely red/mahogany hue. A supporting cast of Dextrin, Flaked Rye, & Red Rye Crystal lend depth, nuance, & further color refinement. The hop trio of Bravo, Mackinac, & Strata CGX were dropped in classic kettle additions. Mackinac & Strata CGX were utilized again for a full, yet restrained, dry hopping regimen. A stalwart Chico yeast strain rounds it all out nicely while letting the malt characteristics & hop tones shine in equal measure. Except flavor/aroma notes of: assorted citrus, pine, light floral, & a touch of fruit punch. The malty backbone refines the edges and blends well with the hop profile. Quite balanced & damn tasty…Get yourself on down to the taproom today and snag some of the gem! Cheers, y’all!

Lithy – Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale

ABV: 6.5%

Lithy – Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale

We're taking y'all back across the pond again to Eastern Europe nodding to centuries of tradition with our take on this varied continental style... Bulit on a mixed base of floor-malted Bohemian pilsner & white wheat with a supporting cast of golden naked oats, Munich, spelt, & acidulated malts. The trio of Lotus, Loral, & Bravo hops provide crisp balance and give off light tones of bright citrus & noble grassiness. Gobs of linden blossom honey from our pals over at Bare Honey (added to the mash, boil, & whirlpool) contributes added body, very slight nuance, & enzymes for the yeasties to do their excellent work. Speaking of... an assertive Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast strain from The Yeast Bay bestows most of the complex citrusy & earthy aromatic/flavor notes & makes it near bone-dry. Expressive, complex, super dry & still fairly full-bodied... this slapper of an ale gives off Spring-like vibes while we are yet in the clutches of cold. Come getcha some!

Current Obsession – New England IPA

ABV: 6.8%

Current Obsession – New England IPA

It’s no secret that New England IPAs are the darling of the beer world at present. One might say they are the current obsession. With that in mind, we crafted a quintessential haze-craze IPA to imbibe. Built upon a base of Pilsner malt, backed up by hefty doses of white & torrified wheats & gobs of oats. Azacca & Idaho 7 work together to create flavors/aromas of punchy citrus, bright mango, & a hint of dank pine. An expressive London Ale yeast strain coupled with the aforementioned wheat & oats to create haze stability, softness, & very light sweetness.

House Pub Ale – English Style Mild

ABV: 4.8%

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.

Schifdtbier – House Lager

Simple ingredients yield simple pleasures. This lil’ crusher is our house lager. A base of Pilsner malt, coupled with German Diamant hops and a sprinkle of Apollo for balanced bitterness provide subtle nuances to this crispy beer. Slightly-sweet cracker maltiness merges with hints of bright citrus & floral notes. What’s in the name? Welp… its a totally made up spelling for a “shift beer”. Fun & cheeky? Yes. Crisp & refreshing? Also, yes!

Hrbie’s Grand Slam Kölsch

Collaboration with Kent Hrbek

Hrbie’s Grand Slam Kölsch - Collaboration with Kent Hrbek

We’ve really hit it out of the park with this one, y’all. Brewed in collaboration with (and named for) Bloomington’s own hometown hero, Hrbie’s Grand Slam is an easy drinking kölsch perfect for sipping whether you’re on the diamond or in our taproom. A grist of pilsner, Vienna, and white wheat with a sprinkle of sour malt make up the body of this beer, creating a lightly grainy background, where a blend of Altus and Saphir hops provide balance and subtle noble floral aromas that allow the wonderfully fruity characteristics of the kölsch yeast strain to shine through. Crisp, clean, and utterly crushable, this collaboration (like its namesake :wink:) is one for the ages.

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.
