Everything you like about The Haze Craze in one glass. A huge aroma of citrus, passion fruit, guava, and even lime carry over into an explosion of juicy deliciousness. The aromas and flavors overlay a delicious malt base amplified by the creamy and silky texture that only an addition of oats can deliver. This is still an evolving style, and unlike more traditional IPAs, the bitterness is intentionally subdued and smooth, rather than firm or even biting. If classic IPAs have let you down, this new twist will surprise and delight you.

Remember when you drank a beer because you could settle in and drink the same thing all night? Back then, balance and complexity were not bad words. This Pale Ale has a very pleasing orange citrus, floral and pine aroma. The flavor doesn’t disappoint. A delicious balance of malt and spicy rye as well as lemon, orange, and grapefruit citrus reward you from start to a very pleasing finish. As you ponder the next sip, a slight caramel reminder tells you there is more where that came from.

Our Tropical IPA leans on a wide variety of Citrus flavors and aromas, mixing in with a complex array of exotic Guava and Passion Fruit notes. The malt is delicate and only shows up in a supporting role. This is a contemporary interpretation of IPA, where the fruitiness is very apparent, yet controlled. The finish avoids bitterness, yet does a great job of cleansing the palate and preparing you for the next sip.  Like everything in this beer, subtlety is the key while complexity is the goal.

Inspiration often takes you to places you didn’t know you wanted to go. While experimenting with a recipe for the new dry, Brut IPA style of beer, Phil found some things he liked that he could use to improve the classic Belgian farmhouse ale—Saison. This Saison has the dry, crisp drinkability of the best examples with pleasant fruit and spicy notes from the special yeast, however, it is augmented with tropical notes from a hop that wasn’t available just 5 years ago. This complex yet refreshing beer is the perfect beer to quench your thirst for something different on a hot afternoon.

The American Pale Ale was inspired by a beer similar to this. Unapologetically English in concept, we used UK malt, hops, and yeast to make this interesting yet refreshing beer. Unlike its American cousins, there is more evident malt, somewhat toasty with a caramel note, without being sweet. There is a small amount of fruitiness from the yeast, reminiscent of berries. The hop character is well-balanced and features a more floral and earthy character, rather than the tropical, citrus, and piney character American versions favor. The finish is firm yet smooth, making it a very quaffable pint. Cheers, Mate!

I’m thirsty and I’m not in the mood for a tasty cold beer said absolutely no one ever. Beer is as much a part of the College experience as cramming for finals and dropping a class because it interferes with your tanning schedule. Especially when it is hot out, a beer that is clean, crisp and refreshing is as wonderous a discovery as the professor leaving the answer key out in plain sight. This straight-forward ode to the local breweries that used to be in every city has just the right balance of malt and hops to quench your thirst while erasing the memory of your GPA.

Gose is a German sour ale that was originally brewed in Goslar in the 13th Century, and soon adopted by the city of Leipzig. Gose featured salty water or added salt as well as coriander spiciness. It was such an obscure style that twice during the 20th Century Gose ceased to be commercially brewed. It is now a popular and refreshing style thanks to the reinterpretation by American craft brewers. This version features Lime and Orange as well as a touch of salt and an Asian citrus fruit that together are reminiscent of the very famous cocktail in the name. Thoroughly refreshing, this tart beer will expand your horizons of what modern craft beer can taste like.

Cologne is located along the Rhine River in Germany.  Along with Düsseldorf, these 2 cities in Westphalia decided to buck the trend of what the cool kids in Bavaria were doing with lager yeast.  Instead of Pils, Cologne brews Kölsch, a top-fermented ale that is cold-conditioned for a smooth, clean and balanced malt flavor that has just enough hop character to make it decidedly German.  There is a slight hint of delicate fruit in the aroma and the bitterness in the finish is very restrained.  This one is an easy drinking and approachable beer that is not too aggressive in any way.
