Let Them Drink Pils! – French Pilsner - Collaboration with Badger Hill Brewing

Oui oui! We got our silly minds together with our silly friends from Badger Hill and came up with this darn tasty lil’ bevvy. Born out of a mutual love for pilsners of all shapes, sizes, and from all places… we decided to make quite the obscure banger.Built on a simple base of fantastic French pilsen from our pals at Malteurop, with a bit o’ malted corn from our other pals at Riverbend Malting tossed in the mix as well. Research suggests that corn is/was used in the creation of some pilsners/lagers in certain regions of France. We decided to roll with it and utilize it for more nuance. A dollop of traditional French Strisselspalt hops were also used to lend a rustic herbal note, as well as some delightful floral tones. And last, but certainly not least, we pitched the ever-stalwart Augusteiner lager strain to lend its crispy and clean talents to the fold. Fermented low n’ slow for maximum crushability…Get your butts on down here and snag some of this lovely gem. Bonus… it’s on side-pour as well! And while y’all are at it… head on down to Badger Hill’s taproom in Shakopee, MN sometime soon and try out some of their delicious offerings! For all you lager nerds, they’ve got a pilsner on right now that is aces! Cheers! The Deets: Malts:

Cara’s Kiss – Belgian Witbier

It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s… well… the height of Summer, y’all. Slake your thirst with a trusty ol’ Witbier! Built on a mixed base of pilsner and red wheat malts, with a touch of malted oats. Loral hops were added for delicate balance. Coriander and bitter orange peel were steeped to release their respective talents. A traditional Wit yeast strain was utilized to give this beer its distinctive aromatics/flavors in conjunction with the rest of the whole. For funzies, a whisper - one might say a *kiss* - of Cara Cara orange was added to further push the subtle citrus forward. Made to be enjoyed in multiples, snag a few to imbibe in the shade, by a lake, or wherever y’all go to beat the heat! The Deets: Malts:

X – Step NE Pale Ale

Got another hop-laden gem for y’all to imbibe right here! Made in collaboration with local pro disc golfer Richie Ortiz, and named after a particular form of teeing-off for disc golfing, X-Step is lovely and approachable with a low ABV format that’s punched up to the max with cool kid hops. Built on a mixed base of pilsner and Golden Promise, with a decent wallop of wheat, gobs of oats, and a touch of dextrin. Cashmere and Citra Cryo grace the whirlpool, while the trio of Cashmere, Citra Cryo, and Nelson Sauvin meld themselves into a decent-sized dry-hop addition. Utilizing our favored house haze-positive aie strain for that quintessential look and feel that bolsters those damn fine hop aromatics/flavors. Expect waves of tropical fruits and citrus with an undercurrent of stone fruits to mingle nicely on the palate. This soft and pillowy pale ale goes well with a day of tossing disc at one of the myriad of courses around the metro. Cheers!

The Eleventh Hour – German Style Hefeweizen

So… this beer is a lil’ late to the party, so to speak. We know y’all probably expect a Hefeweizen at the beginning of Summer… but here we are at the eleventh hour anyway releasing ours while this damn heat keeps hanging around. Built on a mixed base of pilsner and white wheat with a touch malted oats. Loral hops provide delicate balance and toss off a smidge of citrus. A traditional Hefe yeast is the star of the show here… banana and clove blend together and make each other pop. Effervescent, fruity, crisp, and fairly dry… slay the heat with this ages old banger of an ale.

Statement Of Westy – West Coast IPA

ABV: 7%

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!

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

ABV: 5.0%

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.
