Shardic Expression #3 - Imperial Oatmeal Stout aged on French and Mongolian Oak [br]

Holy moly, y’all… this lumbering beast is one tasty treat! [br]Boiled for hours and fermented slowly on oak for weeks, this Imperial Oatmeal Stout has lovely layers for your palates to ruminate upon… [br]

Built on a robust base of Maris Otter with a supporting cast of malts that include: multiple iterations of oats, a myriad of crystal and Munich, and choice roasted malts. A neutral, smooth bittering hop, Helios, keeps it in balance and from becoming cloying. Our favored house ale strain ferments it out to a moderate sweetness. Last, but absolutely not least, we fermented and aged (6 weeks) this dark liquid on both French and Mongolian Oak provided from the folks at Black Swan Cooperage. [br]

Big and burly, yet smooth… with ribbons of complexity. This one is definitely a sipper. Imbibe this slow to bring out the buried layers of flavors/aromatics as it slightly warms in your hands.

Classically timed kettle addtions of Cascade CGX and a big whirlpool drop of Centennial CGX round out the hot side of things. Flash Frozen Fresh Amarillo CGX, Cascade CGX, and Centennial CGX from our forever pals at Crosby Hops were overnighted to us and added in a wallop of a dry-hop addition when the time was ripe. Massive aromatic rips of punchy orange, zesty grapefruit, floral goodness, and a hint of pine burst forth with the same fruity/floral flavor characteristcs matching for the palate. We chose a super neat yeast strain that enhances classic hop notes and pushed them even further to the forefront. We built this IPA to be a West Coast leaning format.

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!

Come Along for the Rye’d – Rye IPA

You are wondering, did I read that right? A hazy rye IPA? Correct! Most rye-forward IPAs are presented in a fairly clear format. We wanted to try sometime a lil’ different and give y’all one in a haze-centric format. Heck, “rye” not?Built on a mixed base of choice 2-row and pilsner malts from our pals at Riverbend Malting in NC, with a decent smack of one of their unique, terroir-driven malted ryes to boot. Some classic Centennial hops grace a small kettle addition, as well as a gob of them in the whirlpool too. Altus, Nugget CGX, Centennial CGX, and the new lovely HRC-002 join forces for a killer dry-hop drop.[br] Expect bright citrus, stone fruit, pineapple, and a wisp of floral notes to pair up with nuanced earthy spiced tones. Smooth, but with an assertive bite on the back end, this IPA is one-of-a-kind imbiber and a dang fun one for the overall line up on tap.

Intermix Chamber Vol. 1 – Coffee Oatmeal Stout - Collaboration with C.J. Porter and Origin Coffee Co.

Attune your palates to Warp Factor Damn Delicious and ride it into subspace. This coffee-laden oatmeal stout will have you buzzy both ways… focused and relaxed in kind! Named for an integral part of any warp core on a Federation Starship in Star Trek and its myriad of spin offs. (More nerd stuff? Always!) This will also be the first in a series of exploring the “intermix” of coffee and beer with our pal C.J. Porter Born, Owner/Founder/Roaster of Origin Coffee Co. in St. Paul, MN. Built of a base of Maris Otter, with a supporting cast consisting of choice crystal and roasted malts… and of course, a host of different kinds of oats. A sprinkle of Helios hops keep the malt in check from getting too cloying without contributing any flavor/aroma of its own. Our favored house ale yeast strain rounds everything out superbly. Last, and certainly not least, the star of the show in this dark liquid amalgam is the custom-roasted coffee made just for this beer. And here I’ll hand off the baton to let C.J. speak about the wonderful beans we incorporated into this tasty bevvy… “The coffee I selected for this particular beer was a 50/50 blend of a natural process Brazil and a washed Mexico. The Brazil comes from the state of Minas Gerais and has a great citrus backbone to it’s flavor profile. Blood orange, hazelnut and cocoa are among the most pronounced tasting notes in this cup. The Mexico comes from San Mateo Yoloxochitlan, an area in Oaxaca that I was fortunate enough to visit in 2019. This coffee, and all coffees from this region, will always have a special place in my heart. This coffee has notes of cocoa, caramel, citrus and toffee. I roasted these two coffees separately to dial in the roasts according to the desired flavor profiles, and then blended them together post roast. What we get from the two coffees together is a delicious flavor combination of chocolate, roasted nuts, orange and caramel. A perfect addition to this wonderful beer! If y’all’ve read this far, high fives! Getcha selves on down here and snag some of this gem!

Skål For Sigmund – Norsk Vossaøl

Skål for Sigmund Some of you beer aficionados may have heard of this crazy little thing called Kveik; a powerhouse farmhouse culture that shook the world of microbiology the hardest its been shooketh since Emil Christian Hansen isolated the first pure brewer’s yeast strain in the late 19th century. Never has a yeast left brewers so dumbfounded as one that ferments in less than three days, at temps up to 40 degrees hotter than average ale fermentations, and smells like…. Oranges? Who knew something like this was hiding in fjords of western Norway? Thanks to a man on a mission, the dedication of a few Farmhouse brewers keeping their tradition alive (and, of course, professional yeast labs), multiple strains of Kveik yeast are available to brewers around the world! The commercial Voss Kveik strain carried by most labs now came from a single home brewer’s dried out yeast culture stored in an old sour cream tub. Thanks to Sigmund Gjernes from Voss, Norway, we’re able to explore a whole new world of flavor, so raise a glass with us and say: Skål for Sigmund! No two farmhouse ales are exactly alike—especially when produced commercially—but we tried our best to brew up a semi-authentic version of his Norsk Vossaøl for you to enjoy from the comfort of our Minnesota taproom. This labor of love yields a deep, hazy orange brew giving off notes of juniper berries and orange marmalade with enough body to support the complex yeast profile that comes along with a 105 degree fermentation. Don’t be fooled by the ease at which she sips, though. A three hour boil made sure this baby came in at 8.9% ABV, which means it should be savored, not slammed.

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.

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!!

Frost Fangs

Aptly named for the current lil’ cold snap, Frostfangs is super crisp, hop-forward delight to imbibe.Cold IPAs at their heart are IPAs fermented at lager temps (usually with a lager strain or an ale/lager hybrid strain) for a cleaner, clearer, and crisper canvas for hops to express themselves to the utmost. That lovely lupulin doesn’t have to compete, or combat, with any esters that usually arise from standard ale yeasts. Built on a simple base of pilsner malt with a decent smack of rice (indicative of the “style”) and a lil’ bit of dextrin malt to create a very neutral malt backbone, with enough left behind for head retention, for hop expression to blast forth unhindered. Citra and Estate Grown Comet couple together for some classic late-kettle additions. Citra and Eureka were dropped into the whirlpool. Citra Cryo, Estate Grown Comet, and Eureka team up for a big (but not overwhelming) dry hop addition. A classic continental lager yeast was utilized for a low and slow cold fermentation and an extended slumber. Total time for grain-to-glass: 9 weeks. Expect aromatics/flavors reminiscent of dank pine, sweet citrus flesh, assorted stone fruit, and light floral notes. A moderate dryness, firm (but smooth) bitterness, and a snappy effervescent finish round it all out. Go ahead and curse the frigid, frosty temps while indulging in a pint of two of this liquid gem!

Anyway, this killer new hop-forward offering is oh-so-gosh-darn-tasty, y’all.Built on a mixed base of pilsner and standard 2-row malts, with a decent smack of dextrin, and a sprinkle of acidulated round out the grist.

The quad showstoppers of Motueka, Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, & Wai-iti lend their talents to the dry-hopping regimen.

You know, if you asked me….Is what you’ll be saying after a couple o’ pints of our newest brews: Two Faced, a good ol’ standard American IPA. It’s early December, so it’s the season of giving——shade, that is!

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!)

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!

Eugene’s Pre Prohibition Lager - Collaboration with Eugene the Brewery Pup

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 😉

ABV: 6%

Phil – Pre Prohibition Porter

We dug back into a bit of the past for this one, y'all.

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!

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.

Inverted Feather Double IPA - Collaboration with Bryan Blurgenson

So, there once was a guy… let’s call him… Bryan Blurgenson. Well, Bryan got himself a Led Zeppelin tattoo of all the band members individual logos in one nice run down his leg. At the bottom was Robert Plant’s iconic feather inside a bold ring. 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.

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!

Grizz N Glamour: A Grissette-Style Ale - Collaboration with Nouvelle Brewing

We’ve got a banger of a lil’ table beer for y’all! The crew from Nouvelle Brewing in Robbinsdale, MN dropped by to collaborate on this spritzy low-ABV ale. 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. Loral hops provide a whisper of bitterness & and a smidge of noble grassiness. An expressive Kveik yeast strain - this one in particular perfect for farmhouse-leaning beers - from our pals at The Yeast Bay makes up a majority of the aforementioned flavor/aroma notes.

ABV: 4.6%

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!

The flavor/aroma impact of the zest is definitely felt on the palate. A lil bit o’ Amarillo & Apollo hops boost the zest characteristics while adding a tiny floral undertone as well. A clean American ale yeast strain lets all else shine.

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.

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!

ABV: 6.3%

Wild Rice Lagerbier

Crispy Lagerbier? Wild rice? Do they go well together? Well, of course! We utilized some wonderful, local MN wild rice in this latest Lagerbier. The result is rustic & refreshing!

Full of balanced roast, baker's chocolate, and slight coffee tones... this ale is for those who want an uncomplicated beer on the darker side of things. This grain bill consists of: stout malt, Maris Otter, Flaked Oats, Carafa III De-Husked, Chocolate, DRC, & a touch of roasted barley. All of the aforementioned meld together beautifully. As the name suggests, the "oatmeal" denotes the addition of oats to aid in a fuller body, smoother mouthfeel, & boosted head retention.

Parallels Pale Ale

This simple, straight-forward American Pale Ale straddles the line of two worlds… a nod to classic West Coast style pale ales with a tip of the hat to their softer, juicier cousins as well. Running parallel with one another they amalgamate into this low-ABV, full-flavored thirst quencher. A sturdy base of Pale malt, backed up by touches of Vienna & Dextrin provides a canvas to layer upon. Hallertau Blanc & Sultana hops provide notes of classic notes of citrus & pine, as well as assorted tropical fruits & light stone fruit. A neutral American ale yeast strain rounds it all out nicely.

Aces Around American IPA

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 split of standard 2-row & Maris Otter make up the base malts. Munich malt, as well as touches of dextrin & white wheat, come in as support players & round out the grist nicely. 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. A neutral, crisp American ale yeast strain lets all the components shine with out adding anything else.
