        Available in the taproom for $6 pints and $14 12oz 4-packs to-go

        'Talus Space Force'

        DDH Northeast IPA - 6.7% ABV

        This newest iteration of our Space Force DDH Northeast IPA series is packed with pounds of Talus hops! Talus, previously known as HBC 692, is a variety from the Hop Breeding Company, which is a joint venture between John I. Haas and Yakima Chief Ranches. It is the result of a hybrid pollination of the Sabro® and open pollination. The aroma of Talus® has been described as "intense flavors of citrus, flowers, and wood... with grapefruit, stone fruit, oak, coconut, and pine."

         

        Even though Talus is a daughter of Sabro, the signature coconut aroma and flavor is much softer and more subdued than how it displays in Sabro. Talus is also an interesting hop because it usually has a 1:1 ratio of alpha to beta which helps create a more "harmonious" bitterness.

         

        Available in the taproom for $8 pints and 4x12oz cans to-go for $18 each.

        'Apple Bottom Bindi'

        Apple Cider Blonde Ale - 5.3% ABV

        Made with our ‘Bindi Blonde Ale’ base, apple cider, and winter spices. This beer will make you want to curl up in front of your fire place with its apple cider and apple pie flavors. The label features our very own good girl, “Bindi”, with her little heart-shaped dog tag surrounded by apples and ‘boots with the fur’! This years batch finished at 5.3% ABV and we suggest consuming this one a little on the warmer side (around 60*F) so you get the full flavor of apple cider and spices.

        'Dignowity Common'

        California Common/Steam Beer - 5.6% ABV

        'Dignowity Common' is a classic American beer style brewed with lager yeast and fermented at ale temperatures. It’s a light amber hybrid style unique to the US that dates back to the late 1800’s in San Francisco, California when refrigeration was a luxury item. Brewers at the time improvised by pumping their hot wort to shallow open top bins on their roof, so the cool air coming off the Pacific Ocean would chill the wort faster.

         

        Available in the taproom for $6 a pint and 4x12oz cans to-go for $14.

        'Grizzly Greg's Mountain Ale'

        Specialty Amber Ale - 8.5% ABV 30 IBUs

        Embodying the wild, this our take on a classic amber style ale. We brew this strong Amber with juniper berries in the boil and add Texas honey after flame out to prevent scorching. This beer finishes with full body that drinks smooth for an 8.5% ABV Amber. We get flavors of wheat toast, caramel, and chocolate.

         

        Available in the taproom for $5 a 12oz pour and 4x12oz cans to-go for $14.

        'Vanilla Joe'

        Sweet Stout 6.0% ABV 20 IBUs

        We brewed a smooth and light ABV stout then added Costa Rican coffee that we roast in-house and premium Mexican vanilla for added sweetness. It’s a stout thats easy to drink in the morning, afternoon, or night that reminds us of a coffee milkshake in a beer.
