Tali’s Terrestrial Pineapple Hefeweizen - Collaboration with Josie Al-Najim

Well, well, well… what do we have here? We took a portion of our German-Style Hefeweizen, The Eleventh Hour, and added a decent smack of fresh pineapple to the mix. It’s still the effervescent and crisp Hefe we’ve also got on tap, but with a tropical twist in both flavor and aromatics. The pineapple is present, yet restrained, so as to not take away from the base beer itself. Punchy, fruity, and damn delicious… we elevated this otherwise traditional take on a wonderful ale to a whole other fantastic level. Come on down and snag some, y’all!

Lotus hops, known for their all-around orange-laden disposition, with a hint of vanilla, were added for its citrus bent. A reasonable amount of blood orange was added mid-fermentation, as well as more of the aforementioned Lotus for dry-hopping. Our favored house London Ale yeast strain was chosen for optimal pillowy haze and gentle esters. And a bonus drop of a lil’ cara cara orange goodness was added to the beer to condition on toward the end of fermentation for funzies and to push that damn fine fruit character a smidge further.Soft, smooth, & packed with flavor/aroma of fresh citrus… this tiny sunrise in your glass will brighten your day!

Sunburst Deluxe Juicy IPA

ABV: 6.2%

Sunburst Deluxe Juicy IPA

Let’s shoot for the middle of the road here, shall we? Deal! Sunburst Deluxe provides and abides. This juicy IPA straddles the line of a hazy and westy by incorporating elements of both. It’s packed full of flavor, but not overly sweet… its got body, but leans towards dry… and its slightly cloudy, but not full on hazed out. Built on a base of pilsner with a nice smack of Golden Promise from across the pond. Touches of the always stalwart dextrin and white wheat make an appearance, while a bit o’ flaked oats wrap it together. A lovely blend of El Dorado and Nectaron hops make up the kettle hopping and whirlpool additions. El Dorado CGX and Nectaron team up for dry-hopping. A super aromatic terpene in the form of Pineapple Express from our pals at AbstraxTech was also dropped in cold-side to add it’s own mark to the whole. And last, but not yeast, an awesome new yeast strain from our buds at Berkeley Yeast, called Sunburst Chico, gives off waves of pineapple tones. Juicy and crisp, with undertones of stone fruits and a quick wallop of dankness on the nose… Sunburst Deluxe is a fine addition to our current line up. In fact… I dare y’all to get one, as well as our house hazy IPA (Current Obsession) and our newest West-Coast IPA (Standard Operating Westy) and imbibe all three presentations side-by-side.

Collaboration with Nouvelle Brewing

A Tale of Two Grizzies – Yuzu and Ginger Grisette - Collaboration with Nouvelle Brewing

We team up with our pals at Nouvelle Brewing in Robbinsdale, MN at least once a year to get annual Grisette collab on the books. This time around the brainstorming session came up with a lil’ Grizzy with Yuzu and Ginger. The result? Damn… this is the quintessential patio slammer… and we don’t say that lightly. Built on a base of pilsner, with a supporting cast including: white wheat, spelt, flaked wheat, flaked oats, and a touch of acidulated. Loral hops provide delicate balance while contributing soft notes of noble grassiness and rose blossoms. A super attenuative Lithuanian farmhouse ale strain chewed through it all to present a bone-dry finish with a wisp of minerality. The undisputed stars of the show, yuzu and ginger, provide their citrus and spice notes while brightening the whole of the beer. Everything in balance is the name of the game with this gem. A light, soft body lends itself to a bright, punchy, and refreshing-as-all-heck lil slammer. Slay the heat with this sessionable ale on repeat… its worth the revisit. (P.S. - be sure to swing by Nouvelle to try the other half of our collaboration with them up there! Their version is a Mango and Calamansi Grisette and it is damn delicious!)

Desert Dwelling Dragon – Red Prickly Pear and Dragonfruit Sour

When you smash together two uncommon fruits into one neatly wrapped tart package… this is what comes about from their cohesive amalgam. A surprisingly sweet & sour balance with deep color hues makes this unique treat worthy of imbibing. Built on a simple grist of pilsner, white wheat, & acidulated that provides a clean canvas to layer flavor/aroma. MI Mackinac hops provide notes of fruit punch reminiscent of Tahitian Treat. Dragon fruit powder was added to the whirlpool to garner wonderful color and give off whispers of light tropical fruit. Our house sour strain tosses off citrus-leaning tart notes and ferments the beer to a fairly-dry attenuation. Gobs of red prickly pear puree was added to late-fermentation to add further depth of color, as well as a sweet juiciness reminiscent of watermelon. Moderately tart and juicy sweet with a color hue of magenta bordering on fuchsia… take a sip, take another, then drain that glass and snag some more.

Three’s Company – Triple IPA

Ooooo… dang! Our buddy, and renowned Hop Wizard Extraordinaire, Eric Sannerud, and our production team put their brains together and came up with a doozy of an ale, y’all. Coming ‘atcha from all angles, this beast of a hop-forward bruiser has got it going on in spades with an exciting new experimental hop to boot… Built on a mixed base of Pilsner and Golden Promise, with touches of White Wheat, and a dollop of Malted Oats. Bravo comes in early with a first wort kettle addition. This is followed by multiple, classic mid-to-later kettle additions of the aforementioned USDA “elite line” experimental hop dubbed simply as “333” from our pals at Hollingbery & Son Hops. Bravo and Vista come in clutch as backup support. A large charge of 333 was also utilized as a dip hop addition to coax out differing notes at sub-boiling temps. Last, but certainly not least, a huge drop of 333, and a decent smack of Vista, were added for dry-hopping additions. In short, we wanted to add 333 in multiple stages to unlock many facets of what it has to offer. We get waves of white peach, assorted red fruits, and sweet floral notes from 333, backed up by other assorted stone fruit & light melon from Vista, and slight orange-laden citrus from the Bravo. A highly-attenuative, clean house ale strain chews through it all and lends a light dryness while retaining a moderately-full body. Big, bold, and packed full of flavor/aroma, with a whisper of a warming note from the high ABV… this Triple IPA is certainly worth checking out!

Pride In Brewing – Golden Ale - Collaboration with Modist and Bald Man Brewing

It’s no secret that the craft beer industry falls a little flat when it comes to diversity—whether that be gender, race, sexual orientation, or a myriad of other identities. It was in response to this hole in our industry that the folks over at the Beer Dabbler founded the Pride in Brewing Scholarship in 2018 to award members of the LGBTQIA+ community with a full scholarship to pursue a formal brewing education and add a little more color to the craft beer world. This year, three past recipients of the Pride in Brewing Scholarship have joined forces with each other to present the first ever Pride in Brewing collaboration beer! And thanks to the generous donations from the Brewers Supply Group of all raw materials required to brew it, we’re able to donate a portion of each pour and crowler back to the scholarship for future applicants to further their brewing knowledge. A bready pilsner base with honey malted-oats and barley accentuated by multiple Amira and Comet hop additions in the kettle and cold-side yield a subtle nose of citrus and spice upon first sip, followed by a crisp, subtly sweet ale with undertones of honey and fruit that’s still dry enough to be refreshing on these hot summer days. Come join us for a pint and raise your glass in pride!

Khaos Grenade – Salted Blood Orange Sour IPA - Collaboration with Kaleigh Leingang

Well dang… that’s a mouthful, eh? Both literally and metaphorically… We wanted to take advantage of peak season for blood oranges and make something gnarly, slightly different, & smash a couple “styles” together for funzies. Enter Khaos Grenade! Is it a sour? Is it an IPA? Fruit yet too? Yes to all, my friends. Built upon a base of pilsner, with a decent smack of white wheat, a smidge of dextrin, & a lil bit o’ maltodextrin for a lightly creamy mouthfeel. Lotus & Bravo hops were dropped into the kettle for varying degrees of orange-y aromas/flavors. Lotus Salvo was added to the whirlpool to push it even harder. A sprinkle of Himalayan sea salt was used to make everything pop and to add another very subtle layer on the back end. To top off the overt citrus notes, a decent amount… but not a ton… of blood orange puree was utilized in both the fermenter & brite tank. The aforementioned Lotus & Bravo made excellent dry-hopping partners to make sure the blood oranges didn’t have all the fun on the cold side. Voss Kveik, known for its orange-leaning esters, was pitched to round everything out nicely. Orange on orange on orange in layers… but still with a lil’ firm bite for IPA level presentation is the name of the game here, y’all. Tart, heavy citrus in droves, crisp, & a lil’ creamy to boot. I’m telling ya though, the nose on this thing smells like a certain orange beverage sold at a stand or store in every mall ever back in the day… I’ll letcha fill in the blanks there.

Mitchell’s Classic IPA – West Coast IPA

We’ve got a simple, straight-forward IPA for y’all to imbibe right here… Lyle, winner of a raffle during our One Year Anniversary back in February, got to design a beer in conjunction with our Head Brewer, John. He came up with a classic-leaning IPA as his go-to recipe. Lyle recently retired as a full Colonel from the Minnesota Air National Guard after serving over 30 years total in both the active duty Air Force and the Air Guard. To honor William 'Billy' Mitchell, father of the modern day Air Force, Lyle has named this beer Mitchell's Classic IPA. Built on a mixed base of local Pale & Pilsner malts from our friends at Maltwerks, with small touches of their Munich, & Acidulated malts to boot, as well as a smidge of Dextrin. The ultra-classic combo of Cascade & Centennial dominate all aspects of the hop schedule: first wort, kettle, whirlpool, & dry hopping additions. A stalwart Chico yeast strain ferments it through nicely & rounds it all out. Classic in every sense of the word.

Holy moly, y’all… we really went full send on the thiols with this one here. This pale ale will have you daydreaming of being on some boujee yacht sippin’ these suds with abandon. If we keep churning out tropical-toward beers do you think warmer weather will finally show up here in MN? We are definitely trying to manifest & conjure that into existence. Soon… so dang soon. Built on a base of some new super cool (and loaded with thiol-potential) undermodified Pilsner malt from our pals over at @maltwerks , along with a smidge of Munich for color, body, & nuance. We made it rain Calypso hops in the mash to unleash more of those thiols. We also utilized a different & new thiol-precursor product in the whirlpool to unfurl even more… you guessed it… thiols. Wrapping all this tropical madness together, as well as being the literal key to unlocking it, we snagged & pitched the veritable Star Party yeast strain from @omegayeast to coalesce everything cohesively into this gem of a beer. A sprinkle of dry-hopping with the aforementioned Calypso is just enough to put this into consideration as being a pale ale. Buuuuut… as we hammered it home enough already, we wanted this tasty ale’s flavors & aromas to be mostly driven by thiols. Trust me… it certainly is, my friends. Expect big notes of guava nectar, followed closely behind by passionfruit & citrus zest. A decent whiff of danky greens also presents itself on the nose too. Either way ya slice it… it’s refreshing, spritzy, & dry while maintaining a nice, round, & lightly hazy body. Come down and getcha some!

Straddling the line between a New England IPA & a classic American IPA, this "Juicy IPA" drinks like both, yet retains its own unique character.

The trio of Lotus, Cashmere, & Vista hops in the kettle meld together wonderfully. A decent smack of Cashmere, NZ Moutere, & Vista also round out the dry-hopping regimen. A neutral crusher of a Chico yeast lets the hops shine through brightly. Slightly sweet, yet finishes a bit dry. The aforementioned hopping schedule gives off notes of assorted citrus, ripe melon, guava, & a smidge of herbal pine. Both sides of the fence of the eternal "which style of IPA is better" debate should find at least a bit of common ground with this tasty gem.

Eugene’s Pre Prohibition Lager - Collaboration with Eugene

Let’s be honest, the light lager has had a chokehold on the American beer industry for as long as many of us can remember. But those refreshing little crushers weren’t always what we know and love today. Before being outlawed in those dark years of Prohibition, American Lagers were bigger, bolder, and, dare I say, hoppier. A true case of immigrant ingenuity, brewers were faced with the challenge of brewing those styles they loved from across the pond using ingredients that were new and indigenous to their new homes, and they did it well. Thus, we present Eugene’s Pre-Prohibition Lager! American 6-row barley and malted corn make up most of the malt bill, helped along with some 2-row Czech style pils and Great Chit malt for added body to stand up to a formidable hop presence that you don’t see in today’s light lagers. A pint of Eugene’s Pre-Prohibition Lager harkens back to the early days of American craft beer, so settle in, take a sip, and let history repeat itself. And pet your dog while you do it 😉

Think of an Almond Joy bar in liquid form... its full-flavored, with lovely layers! Built upon a mixed base of Maris Otter from across the pond, as well as local MN Pilsner malt from our pals over at Maltwerks, with a veritable host of specialty grains to lend layer to this robust malt backbone. Varied crystal malts interplay with some pale chocolate, brown malt, dextrin, golden naked oats, a smidge of Munich, and a bit o' of white wheat. Buckwheat honey from our buds at Bare Honey provides a boost of body & booze and gives off a wisp of earthy nuttiness . Lotus hops provide enough balance to counter the mild-to-moderate sweetness. And a beast of an English Ale yeast strain rounds everything out superbly. We also conditioned this big, bold ale on heaps of toasted coconut & a grip of toasted almonds. They each toss off loads of aromatics & flavor without being overpowering and obscuring the malt-forward presence of the whole. Large & in charge. Beguiling & sneakily smooth. Malty, toasty, nutty... bits o' baker's chocolate & light notes of toffee... and dessert-leaning tones ribboning throughout... this is a sipper worthy of a birthday party!!

Phil – Pre Prohibition Porter

We dug back into a bit of the past for this one, y'all. Also known as a "Pennsylvania Porter", "Philadelphia Porter", & "East Coast Porter" this historical style has got a lil' bit of roast, a bit of toast, a smidge of sweetness, yet finishes fairly dry. Built on a mixed base of 2-row pale & 6-row malts with a varied supporting cast including: flaked corn, rye, red rye crystal, pale chocolate, & a touch of double roasted crystal. Lotus hops provide enough balance to cut through the subtle sweetness. Speaking of... we added a decent drop of molasses to augment the body, lightly boost the ABV, & have it give off wisps of depth. A nicely attenuative English Ale strain rounds it all out nicely. These Pre-Prohibition styles in general utilized whatever grains they had on hand from their own farms, of those of the surrounding area. Molasses was also a common adjunct to add as well. These particular porters were popularly brewed & consumed during Colonial America & around the Revolutionary War... hence their nicknames/monikers. Come on down and getcha some of this not very often brewed style of dark ale! Cheers!

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!

Built upon a mixed base of Golden Promise & pilsner with touches of dextrin, white wheat, and acidulated malts making up the grist. The trio of Lotus, Amarillo, & Eureka hops were dropped in the kettle and varying points to utilize their excellent properties. Amarillo & Eureka also made up the substantial, yet restrained, dry-hopping additions. Now for the really neat parts... We utilized a super cool yeast strain from our pals at Berkeley Yeast that gives off terpenes (potent aroma/flavor compounds) that mimic freshie-fresh Cascade hops without using said hops at all. To back that up, we added some MOAR terps from our buds at AbstraxTech that mimic Chinook hops... also without adding (you guessed it) any of those said hops either. The aromatic/flavor contributions from the combination of the separate terpene sources, plus the dry-hop additions, make for a damn fine experience for your palates! Bright & bursting with classic citrus, pine, & floral notes all over the dang place... come on down & snag some of this refreshing bevy!

Frigid Digits – Cold IPA - Collaboration with Falling Knife Brewing Co.

Winter is most definitely upon us… WEATHER we like it or not. See what I did there? Yup, lame dad joke, correct. In the spirit of collaboration & cool beer ideas... coupled with this seemingly-forever-lasting-season up yonder here in MN… we, & our pals at Falling Knife Brewing in NE MPLS, present to y’all Frigid Digits Cold IPA! Aren’t all IPAs “cold” though? Yes… buuuuuut this moniker designates the method in which the beer itself was made. Cold IPAs are fermented with a lager yeast at the higher end of that particular strain’s temperature range & are also dry-hopped moderately, not super aggressively. (I mean, you can I suppose… you do you) They are also completely lagered out, like a pilsner, helles, etc. Cold IPAs are crisp, clean, dry, & a great canvas for hops to shine. This new-ish style is similar to an IPL (India Pale Lager) but slightly different. Look ‘em both up to compare if you want to get really nerdy about it. Built upon a super simple grist of pilsner malt, flaked rice, & a sprinkle of acidulated malt to get it all nice & crispy for y’all. Calypso & Cascade hops were tossed into the mash because yes, you guessed it… we thiolized this beer as well. Why not? Chinook Salvo got dropped in the whirlpool for some classic westy vibes. Small smacks of both Idaho 7 & MI Mackinac hops were used for dry-hopping to piggy back off of & accentuate the tropical thiol notes. Last, but certainly not least, a thiolized lager strain from our buds at Berkeley Yeast performed its double duty & steals the show for sure. Grain-to-glass timeframe: 8 weeks. Bright, crisp, & refreshing… with tropical tones that don’t drown everything out… this banger of a beer is an aromatic adventure. Getcha self on down to the taproom and snag a pint of two of this collaborative gem!

However, the feather itself was tattooed upside down - or inverted, if you will - and no one was the wiser until it was all finished up. Needless to say, there was a few facepalms on Bryan’s part… he gave the thumbs up to the initial sketch before any ink was put to skin.

Smileized – Thiolized NEIPA (Collaboration with A-Side Public House) - Collaboration with A-Side Public House

Smile, y'all! Your day is about to get a whole lot better with a pint of this beauty in your hands! This new NEIPA to our line up is bursting at the seams with overt tropical notes of all contexts. What is "thiolized" you may ask? Thiols are richly dense flavor/aroma compounds that give off grips of tropical fruit notes... particularly passionfruit & danky guava, in this case. They can be found in both hops & certain types of malted grains as well. Some thiols are "unbound" and give off their notes naturally... some are "bound" and need some help releasing their goods. That's where a "thiolized" yeast strain comes into play. These strains release bound thiols in abundance. The end result is massive waves of the aforementioned tropical fruits. They play very well in IPAs of all sorts. We decided for our first foray into these new, killer strains to go the hazy route... Bulit on a base of local MN pilsner & white wheat... with a supporting cast of characters, including: torrified wheat, flaked wheat, dextrin, & flaked oats. Loads of Calypso hops went into the mash to bring out their thiol potential. A bunch of Lotus Salvo from our pals at Hopsteiner both went into the whirlpool. Big smacks of Citra, Vista, & Nelson Sauvin CGX from our buds at Crosby Hops fulfilled their dry hopping potential to the max. Last but certainly not least, London Tropics yeast from our friends at Berkeley Yeast tossed off those wonderful thiols to augment the hops. Everything plays off each other wonderfully!

Orange & Mango swirl around each other for a nice synergy of citrus & tropical notes.... however, the punchy orange does take a slight edge ahead of the competition. Bright, tart, refreshing, very fruit-forward, and gently dry. Slay a few of these in the hot sun on the weekends for sure!

Grisettes are light on alcohol, highly-carbonated, easy to drink, & refreshing as all heck. Think of it as a “Saison Lite”, if you will. Our take on this style has notes of: cantaloupe, honeydew, stone fruit, & assorted citrus. Everything is in delicate balance & nothing lingers. It hits quick & dries out even quicker. Built on a mixed base of pilsner & white wheat malts. A decent hit of spelt, & touches of both flaked oats & wheat make it the rest of the grist.

A decent drop of cacao nibs & a smack of toasted coconut add depth & complexity. A neutral ale strain rounds everything out nicely. Note: this beer doesn’t get into pastry beer territory at all… the notes here are nicely nuanced and it finishes ever-so-slightly sweet.

Ordrozenie: Polish Grodziskie

A Grod…. What? This newest addition to our line up is a crushable lil’ banger of a beer. Steeped in tradition & hyper-locality (in this case Poland), this smoked wheat beer hits a bunch of notes simultaneously. We decided to name it Ordrozenie - loosely translated to “revival” in Polish - as this ancient style of beer is slowly making a comeback… even here stateside in the US. These beers originally hail from the town of Grodzisk, Poland. A Grodziskie (pronounced: grow-GEE-skee-ya) traditionally is made with 100 percent oak-smoked wheat & noble European hops. It’s highly carbonated, dry, refreshing, & has a slight minerality to the finish. Keeping with tradition, we also used only oak-smoked wheat for our malt bill. Saphir hops provide an assertive, crisp balance with a nearly imperceptible grassy, herbal note. A lovely Kolsch yeast strain from our pals at The Yeast Bay rounded it off and dried it out nicely. We cold-conditioned this for a couple weeks (a “mini-lager phase”, if you will) to get it even crispier for everyone to imbibe this beer in heaps. Enjoy this unique & damn delicious ale outside with family & friends over a feast with your favorite smoked foods… or kicked back in a lawn chair doing absolutely nothing. Whatever it may be, relax & chill y’all! Na Zdrowie!

Cultural Collision is at the core of everything at The Get Down, and we are excited to add to the product diversity by bringing together the best of both worlds in this coffee beer collaboration.

Pineapple Raspberry Sour

ABV: 5.3%

Pineapple Raspberry Sour

We’ve got a no-brainer blending of fruits for this iteration of our fruited sour series. Pineapple is robust & a lil sweet while the raspberry is bracingly tart. More emphasis went to pineapple as to not have the raspberry take over. The result is slightly sweet, quite tart, & overall darn delicious. 2-row, torrified wheat, flaked wheat, & malted oats make up the grain bill. The aforementioned pineapple & raspberry provide ribbons of tropical & berry notes. This is a perfect sour ale for the shifting of seasons.

Skysta Garbė – Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale

ABV: 7.2%

Collaboration with Dual Citizen

Skysta Garbė – Lithuanian Farmhouse Ale - Collaboration with Dual Citizen

Brewed in collaboration with Dual Citizen Brewing in St. Paul, both crews decided to dig into the more obscure side of farmhouse ale traditions and thus this ale was born. Loosely translated from Lithuanian to mean “liquid honor” both breweries honor their continuing friendship with one another by bestowing each other with some excellent, delicious liquid! Heavy overtones of pear, banana, apricot & a tinge of lemon intertwine with a solid bready backbone & ribbons of honey. Bold, dry, complex, refreshing & with a touch of minerality… this farmhouse ale has a lot going on, yet manages to be crisp & refreshing. Built on a mixed base of floor-malted Bohemian Pilsner & white wheat with biscuit rye, spelt, and Munich malts providing heft & complexity. Loral hops provide tiny hints of noble grassiness & floral notes. A decent smack of amber honey from Bare Honey adds body, lends a wisp of sweetness, & rounds out the body. Last, but certainly not least… the star of the show here is a very expressive Lithuanian yeast strain from Omega Yeast Labs gives off the bulk of the flavors & aromas mentioned above.

What Would Vista Do? – West Coast IPA - Collaboration with Vista Hops

This lovely, dry & crisp West Coast-Style IPA is the second in a series of two IPAs we have on tap that highlights the new & vibrant Vista hop. (Check out Vista Obsession NEIPA for the other side of the coin) Built on a base of 2-Row with white wheat, Cara 8, & Munich malts round out the backbone. A small charge of Apollo up front provides a clean, assertive bitterness. Multiple kettle additions of Estate Grown Comet & Vista (both from Crosby Hops), as well as a smack of the classic, stalwart Cascade lend ribbons of flavor to the beer. The same three hops - with Vista being used 2 to 1 against the others - were utilized for dry-hopping for robust aromas. Awash with notes of: candied peaches, bright lemons, fresh floral, light pine, & assorted melons… this gem hits the damn spot!

Vista Obsession – Dip-Hopped NEIPA

ABV: 6.4%

Collaboration with Vista Hops

Vista Obsession – Dip-Hopped NEIPA - Collaboration with Vista Hops

Ok y’all… we’ve got a doozy of a New England IPA right here. We utilized a unique method, in addition to dry-hopping, to showcase a new, sexy hop varietal named Vista. Referred to as “dip-hopping”, the aforementioned method takes hops and puts them directly into the fermenter after its cleaned & purged out. A portion of slightly cooled-down wort is moved into the fermenter mid-boil. Said hops steep in the fermenter while the rest of the boil continues on as normal. At the end of the brew day the rest of the wort is moved into the fermenter on amongst the steeped “dip” hops. This method takes advantage of multiple temp ranges & changes to get super robust flavors/aromas to leap forth. Built on a soft base of Pilsner, with hefty doses of both white & flaked wheat to add body. Sprinkles of dextrin malt & flaked oats add silkiness and boosted head retention. The above mentioned Vista hop takes center stage, with smaller additions of Lotus & El Dorado making up the remainder of the lovely lupulin in the beer. Our workhorse expressive house London Ale strain rounds it out nicely. Bright candied lemon meshes with peach, pineapple, and sweet orange notes with a hint of papaya.

Lulo? Goldenberry? Definitely not commonly heard of fruits. Both of them hail from South America and have bold, verrrrrry tart, & slightly funky profiles. This one will make ya pucker for sure! 2-row, torrified wheat, flaked wheat, & malted oats are the soft, rounded malts for this sour to layer massive flavors/aromas upon in heaps. Gobs & gobs of the aforementioned lulo & goldenberry fruits provide constantly shifting pungent tropical & citrus notes on the nose while shifting into a lemon warhead candy-like tartness on the palate.

Pungently dank, assertively full of citrus, & firm bitterness on this classic IPA harkens back to days past. This hop-forward ale is the other side of the coin, as opposed to hazy IPAs.

A decent punch of Altus & Amarillo were dropped in for kettle hop additions. Altus, Amarillo, & Apollo were utilized for a slam of dry hopping. The combo of these hop varietals lend strong notes of danky pine & grapefruit zest, with a floral hint in the background.
