Autumn IPA (7.2% ABV) 50 IBU (American IPA)
Our 2018 Autumn IPA features Ekuanot and Mosaic hops for a burst of orange, pine and cedar notes. This is a slightly more malt balanced IPA through the addition of Vienna and light crystal malt for notes of toffee and light toast.

Autumn Pale Ale (5.5% ABV) 40 IBU (Semi Old-School Pale Ale)

NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE BEERS
Forgot About Drei V2.0 (6.3% ABV) 25 IBU (Farmhouse Pale Ale)
We have completely redesigned the Forgot About Drei recipe. This beer remains 100% brett fermented but now with a 5 strain brett blend from The Yeast Bay in San Francisco. This blend yields a wonderful assortment of pear, apple and peach character with a very light funk and acidity. Complex but still light and drinkable, we’re very excited about this new recipe. We’ve kept the hopping low in order to let the yeast character shine through.

Heavy amounts of Loral and German Hallertau Blanc add floral, herbal and white grape notes while Vermont-type yeast adds a nice subtle fruit character to enhance the hoppiness. Low bitterness and a clean finish keeps the beer extremely drinkable.

Dankster’s Paradise (10.2 % ABV) 67 IBU (Imperial IPA)

A blend of Vermont and American Ale yeast adds a touch of additional fruit character while keeping the beer very dry and drinkable.

Black IPA (7.9% ABV) 50 IBU (Black American IPA)
We’ve put copious amounts of Simcoe and Chinook in this black IPA to get huge grapefruit and pine aromatics.
