“Tawny Grove” – Apricot Blonde Ale

It's obscenely hot out there, y'all. No doubt about it! Come slake that thirst with this stone fruit-kissed gem!

Built on a base of pilsner malt, with smaller additions of: Vienna, Munich, and dextrin malts. Alora hops provide delicate balance and a dollop of punchy assorted citrus. A fun lil' co-pitch (a mingling one might say) of two of our favorite yeast strains provide a clean finish with an addition of fruity esters that emit a wisp of apricot flavors/aromatics.

Clean and refreshing ,with the aforementioned notes of apricots... this beauty is perfect for patios and other sun-drenched outdoor activities!

Vernal Blossom – Maibock

Maibocks are transitional seasonal beers that originated in Germany, and are still brewed there today! "Mai" is German for "May", and it coincides with the short Bavarian spring. According to the Oxford Companion to Beer, "in the Bavarian Alps, May is the brief season between the last thaw and the first bloom, when it is too cool to linger in the beer gardens, but already too bright to hide indoors in the beer halls." Maibocks are anywhere from a light amber to a deep golden color and are typically between 6-7% ABV. Our take on the Maibock here at Nine Mile is as traditional as it gets. We brewed it in late February, have been lagering it since early March. It is burnished golden in color, 6.8% ABV, with a medium-full body and a moderately sweet, yet decently dry, finish. Come be the first to taste this beauty!

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!

Breakfast Salad Brunch IPA 3.0 - Collaboration with Riley Yawn-White

Who says you can’t have salad for breakfast? And who says you can’t have an IPA at brunch?? A beer brewed for those who defy boundaries, for those sick of the status quo and labels and the same old same old of days long past. Wait––we’re still talking about breakfast foods, right? Breakfast Salad is what we here at Nine Mile have dubbed a “Brunch IPA:” a dry IPA base with plenty of hop aroma and citrus to make your mouth pucker in the best way. Expect citrus forward notes from Mango, Cara Cara, and Key Lime fruit additions, on top of a Citra and Nectaron dream-team Dry Hop to make this beer as tropical as if you were seated beachside. Raise a glass and be proud!

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.

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.
