No other ingredient stirs the passion of a Master Brewer like the hop. Inspired by this legendary flower we challenged ourselves to create a world class IPA. Head Hunter is an aggressively dry-hopped, West Coast-Style IPA with a huge hop display of pine, grapefruit, citrus and pineapple. A punch-you-in-the-mouth brew for those who truly love their hops! Uncivilized? Yes. Aggressive? Absolutely. Award Winning? Hell yes!

We can boldly say that this hoppy red is unlike any other you’ve tried. Hopped-up to the max, deep ruby in color, with a smooth as silk mouthfeel and an almost pungent piney aroma. Malts bone-up their magic with a hearty, biscuity, almost rustic touch of flavor and a slightly bitter fruitiness. A creamy head always tops it off. Recently Bonefide with a Silver Award at The World Beer Cup.

The German Brewers' Star represents Fire, Air, Water and Earth together to form perfect balance. It's clear that the brewer's star was intended to symbolize purity; a brewer who affixed the insignia to his product was thereby declaring his brew to be completely pure of additives, adjuncts, etc. In fact, folklore has it that the six points of the star represented the six aspects of brewing most critical to purity: the water, hops, grain, malt, yeast, and the brewer himself.

Inspired by the smoked beers (Rauchbier) of Bamberg, Germany, amped into this century with the super-human abilities of our Head Master Brewer. A smoky aroma with underlying sweet caramel malt. Flavor is smoke at first but gives way to a delicious malty goodness. Smooth with a light hop bitterness. Bavarian monks would have chanted relentlessly as they became one with this brew... "I’ll be bock!"

Oompa Loompa Chocolate Cream Stout is the golden ticket to luscious indulgence. Brewed in small batches with Belgian Dark Chocolate and Madagascar Vanilla Beans to yield giant aromas and flavors of dark chocolate, roasted malt, caramel and vanilla with a creamy mouthfeel and bittersweet finish.

"Space, the final frontier..." at least the "space" in the brew tank that we filled with this silky Imperial Stout. We brewed this with cold extracted dark roast coffee, to boldly go where no man has gone before (not really, but it sounds cool). Fresh brewed coffee, rich roasted malt and semi-sweet chocolate dominate this brew. Creamy in almost a cappuccino-like way with a hint of bitterness. Mmmm, bean me up one of these, Scotty.

This knight rides alone with a lighter body than traditional black beers, lifted to it's mount with a great show of hop bitterness. Lighter than one would expect but deep in flavor. Notes of coffee and chocolate swirl from the glass while the flavors drift to sweet, dark malt. Balanced, earthy tones ride throughout this well balanced brew. A silver medal at the 2013 GABF adorns the Black Knight's trophy shelf.

The recipe for this hearty brew was developed while riding in a cloudy van with 2 old friends. A robust porter brewed with malted barley that was smoked over Adler wood by our brewers on-site. Rich smoky aromas greet your nose while flavors of dark chocolate, smoke, some roasted malt and a bit of coffee hit the taste buds. Finishes nice and dry. Doobieously refreshing.

Our clandestine friend Pauly tells the story this way... Porters were brewed in the US for more than two centuries but after prohibition it pretty much slept with the fishes. Now, thanks to some pioneering craft brewers, the American Porter is back and thriving. A rich and flavorful, dark, robust brew with aromas and flavors of chocolate, caramel, hints of coffee and roast, with a clean bitter hop finish. We invite you to taste our tribute to the American Porter. It's almost illegally good. Just ask for Pauly.

We studied psychology, fairy tales, legends, children's stories, the I-Ching and of course, sipping. We gave beat to the revolution. And we wrote down the recipe to this incredible brew in a smoke filled haze. As best we can remember. Pitch black in color, this brew has a very strong chocolate aroma with hints of coffee, dark fruit, and sweet malts. Try a Hippy Sippy and you might try anything...

Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been. This brew has a deep golden color with spicy phenolics, fruity notes, yeast and clove in the nose. Rich mouthfeel with complex fruity, yeasty flavors and hints of clove with just the right amount of hop bitterness and a slightly sweet finish. Drink up do-dah man.

When this brew first came out of the tanks our brewer took a sip. Then downed some more. He put on his glasses, tilted his head and said "Damn, that's a Goggle Fogger!". The "Hefe" prefix means "with yeast" which gives this unfiltered wheat beer a somewhat cloudy or "foggy" appearance. Light aromas of wheat, bubblegum, clove and spice. Very refreshing with light hop bitterness and flavors of wheat, spice, bubblegum and hints of clove.
