Little by Slowly Reserva – BA Berliner Weisse – 4.1% ABV ($14 – 500ml BOTTLE): We took our no-boil, mixed-ferm Berliner Weisse and aged it into two well-used oak barrels (including one that held cider). The result is one of our lightest, brightest, snappiest, spritziest, refreshiest sour beers ever! We get notes of lemon, apple, bread dough, and hay. Order 500 mL Bottle/$12
Seltz Out: Ruby Rose – Hard Selzter – 4.5% ABV ($3.25/6.5 – 7/14oz POURS): We had about 100 left over zest free grapefruits from Rainbow Boa that we didn’t want to waste! So after juicing all of them into our setlzer base we infused a touch of rosemary for this classic combo! IN HOUSE ONLY
UnKonventionalᴳ – Spelt Riwaka Kolsch – 4.7% ABV ($6.5 – 16oz CAN): This unique beer was inspired by a homebrew that we didn’t brew! It started with German Pilsner and spelt (a cousin of wheat) and hopped with Riwaka in the whirlpool. Think of it as a unique spin on our Könventional Kölsch, but with bready spelt German Spelt malt and the intensity of Riwaka. The result is bright and fruity, but with a grapefruit and dank-intensity of New Zealand hops. Order 4-pack/$16
Guava Salzig – Guava Gose – 5.2% ABV ($11 – 500mL BOTTLE): We love our base gose, Salzig (German for “salty”). It’s a traditional mixed-fermentation with Lactobacillus and Brettanomyces. Subtle, tart, and citrusy. This version with a massive 700 lbs of pink guava is anything but traditional or subtle. The fruit adds an intense tropical flavor and increased acidity. Order 500mL Bottle/$9
White Painting – Hefeweizen – 5.2% ABV ($6.50 – 16oz CAN): The words wheat and white share the same route word “kweit” according to food writer Harold McGee. It’s not a surprise then that many traditional European wheat beers (e.g., wit and weisse) translate to English as “white.” Our hefeweizen combines malted and unmalted wheat to highlight the bready-doughy-fresh aromatics of this grain. Much like the famous (or infamous) all-white paintings, what may seem simple initially becomes enthralling as you look (or taste) closer! Order 4-pack/$16
Drink it Downᴳ – English Brown Ale – 5.2% ABV ($6.50 – 16oz CAN): This isn’t an India Brown Ale, or a Sour Brown, or an Imperial Brown. It’s just a classic Brown brewed with English Maris Otter, Chocolate, and Caramel malts. Hopped with East Kent Goldings, and fermented with our house English Ale. The result has notes of coffee ice cream, toasted bread, and orange marmalade. Order 4-pack/$16
Homegrown Rule – Wild Ale with Lemon Verbena and Pineapple Sage – 5.3% ABV ($18 – 500mL BOTTLE): Fruit brings aromatics, but also sugars, acids, and other compounds that alter a beer both in predictable and unpredictable ways. These two barrels already had a beautiful tart balance that we didn’t want to disrupt, so we infused them with homegrown herbs: Pineapple Sage (from Ken) and Lemon Verbena (from Mike). The result is a beautiful melding of lemondrop, hay, herbs, and oak. Order 500 mL Bottle/$16
Befuddlementᴳ – Pale Ale DDH w/ Citra and Hydra – 5.5% ABV ($6.50 – 16oz CAN): Hydra has become one of our favorite newer varieties, so we wanted to try it with one of our older favorites, Citra! The bright tropical fruitiness of Hydra is tempered by the dank-citrusy notes of Citra. The base is a little brighter and lighter and crisper than our typical pale ales as a result of Pilsner malt (like our IPAs and DIPAs). Befuddlement was the original nickname for Hydra! Order 4-pack/$17
Rainbow Boaᴳ – Pale Ale with Lemon Verbena, Grapefruit, and Hibiscus – 5.5% ABV ($3.25/6.50 – 7/14oz POURS): We infused this pale ale with extra brightness in the form of homegrown lemon verbena and fresh grapefruit zest. The pink color comes from hibiscus flowers. The result is a hoppy beer where the stone fruit and pineapple hop notes play a supporting role to the lemondrop candy, grapefruit soda, and cranberry aromatics of the other herbs! Order 4-pack/$17
Sapwood Kellersᴳ – German-Inspired Pilsner – 5.5% ABV ($3.25/6.50 – 7/14oz POURS): “Kellerbier” (cellar beer) is unfiltered and unpasteurized, often hazy, with a fresh malt and hop flavor. We hopped our version with German Saphir in the kettle and again in the fermenter (in flagrant disregard for the German Reinheitsgebot’s ban on dry hopping). The herbal-citrus-spice hop character balances the grassy German Pilsner malt. Order 4-pack/$16
Falling Upwardsᴳ – Pale Ale DDH with Talus and Michigan Chinook – 5.9% ABV ($3.25/6.50 – 7/14oz POURS): Terroir (the taste of the growing region) is just as much a factor for hops as it is winegrapes. People associate dankness and citrus with the Chinook grown in the Pacific Northwest, but this lot of Chinook was grown in Michigan. The result is a Chinook with a juicier huge grapefruit and even pineapple. The Talus brings tropical notes and just a touch of creamy sweetness. Overall a deliciously juicy pale ale hopped like an IPA! Order 4-pack/$17
Sky Meadowᴳ – Festbier Lager – 6% ABV ($3.25/6.50 – 7/14oz POURS): Rather than a classic orange-hued Oktoberfest, Sky Meadow was inspired by the modern wiesn (meadow) beers served in the tents of Munich. Lighter in color, thanks to all German malts (Pilsner, Vienna, Munich, and Chit) and hoppier from a whirlpool addition of German Tettnang. We lagered it for six weeks near-freezing before canning to create the smoothest, crispiest festbier we could! Order 4-pack/$17
Fun Sized Flakedᴳ – Coconut-Vanilla Oatmeal Stout – 6.0% ABV ($7.50 – 16oz CAN): We love Flaked… but it is a bit “much” for summer! This version is still a dark fudgy stout with mounds of toasted and untoasted flaked coconut and an avalanche of Comoros vanilla beans to balance the roast. The flavor is enormous (but not the alcohol) thanks to flaked oats and English caramel malt. A dessert treat for the warm nights ahead! Order 4-pack/$19
Culinary Diplomacy – Thai Green Curry Inspired IPA (w/ Coconut, Thai Basil, Serrano, Galangal, and Lime Leaf) – 6.4% ABV ($3.75/7.5 – 7/14oz POURS): Like many countries (including the US) Thailand engages in culinary diplomacy. They spend money to standardize and improve Thai restaurants all over the world. Their goal is to boost tourism and increase positive opinions of their county. It worked on us apparently… we borrowed the flavors of green curry for this IPA! It’s a little spicy, but the focus is on the beautiful aromatics of galangal (a cousin of ginger), lime leaf, Thai basil, and coconut! Order 4-pack/$19
Folly to the World – American IPA with Mosaic®, Luminosa®, and Terpenes – 6.7% ABV ($3.75/7.5 – 7/14oz POURS): For this collab we wanted to pull both the “fruit” level and the “dank” lever with modern ingredients. For fruit, we used Berkeley Yeast’s Sunburst™ strain, which was CRISPR’d to produce even more of the tropical-pineapple aromatics naturally produced by many strains. The Luminosa hops reinforce the pineapple and citrus, while the Mosaic brings herbaceous berries. Then we upped the OG dankness with King Louis XIII terpenes! Order 4-pack/$19
Ashmead’s Gold – Ashmead’s Kernel and Gold Rush Cider – 6.9% ABV ($12 – 500mL BOTTLE): This cider started with two classic cidermaking apple varieties Gold Rush and Ashmead’s Kernel, both grown in Virginia. The Gold Rush is high-acidity and the Ashmead’s Kernel is high-tannin, allowing a low intervention approach. The result is a beautifully crisp and balanced cider with an intense apple flavor along with notes of honey and orange zest. Gluten Free. Order 500mL Bottle/$10
Shopper Hoarder – Barrel-Aged Cider – 6.9% ABV ($16 – 500mL BOTTLE): As with all of our ciders, this one started with a blend of Virginia apples (Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, York, and Ida Red) and our house culture. Then this one spent most of its maturation time in two first-use Chardonnay wine barrels. The result is an increase in acidity, mouthfeel, and richness. Gluten Free. Order 500 mL Bottle/$14
Barrels of Rings – Barrel-Aged Funky Ale with Citra Cryo – 7.1% ABV ($18 – 500mL BOTTLE): We refilled the barrels that held Measure Twice with our all-Citra pale ale Rings of Light! The microbes went to work transforming the hop compounds into unique pineapple, orange and funky aromatics. After 9 months of aging a lightly-tart, uniquely-fruity beer emerged. We gave it a dry hop dose of Citra Cryo right before packaging to ensure a unique aroma that blends the best of mixed-ferms and IPAs! Order 500 mL Bottle/$16
Zungenbrecher – Citra Amarillo Weizen IPA – 7.2% ABV ($7.50 – 16oz CAN): There is a lot of recent excitement about creating new yeast strains that produce fruity compounds to complement and enhance hops. Why not go back to the original “fruit salad” strain, German Hefeweizen! We started with a stronger and hoppier version of a Hefeweizen, then dry hopped with two fruit-forward American varieties: Amarillo for stone fruit aromatics, and Cascade for grapefruit! It’s a little snappier, more carbonated, and more refreshing than our standard IPAs too! Order 4-pack/$19
Cheater Hops #26 – HBC 586 and Mosaic® Cryo® IPA– 7.3% ABV ($3.75/7.5 – 7/14oz POURS): A handful of hop varieties pack such appealing aromatics that brewing with them is like cheating. We named our ever-changing series of IPAs “Cheater Hops” in their honor. We are honest brewers, that’s why we can admit when we cheat! HBC 586 is a hop that has impressed us enough to be a Cheater Hop (even if it hasn’t gotten a real name yet). This hop brings a ridiculous almost-artificial tropical fruitiness, that we think pairs perfectly with the dankness of Mosaic! Can Release 9/22
Unrefinery – Export Stout – 7.5% ABV ($7.50 – 16oz CAN): There is a stout for every season and a stout for every region! This one is inspired by the versions you find in the Caribbean. We added unrefined cane sugar to the kettle. The molasses notes from the muscovado add savory sophistication to the raisin-plum of Belgian Special B malt, and mocha roast of German Chocolate malt. The result is a stronger-sweeter stout that is a notch below “Imperial,” but bigger and creamier than the run-of-the-(sugar)-mill! Order 4-pack/$18
Melange Laureate (2022) – Sour Ale Aged in Oak Barrels with Cabernet and Merlot Grapes – 7.7% ABV ($19 – 500mL BOTTLE): This is a special beer that has been in the works for more than three years. The two barrels spent 30 months aging then six months refermenting on Merlot and Cabernet grape must. Finally extended bottle conditioning makes for a true hybrid of the flavors on mixed-ferment beer and red wine. The deeper vinous notes mingle with the mineral and hay notes from the Brettanomyces. In House Only
Elliptical Orbit 2022 – Barrel-Aged Harvest Sour Brown – 7.7% ABV ($18 – 500mL BOTTLE): This Fourth iteration of Elliptical Orbit is our spin on a fall harvest beer! With the deep flavor of roasted honeynut squash, the earthiness of a mixed-culture fermentation in oak, and just a touch of warming fall spices. Order 500 mL Bottle/$16
Mojo Dojo – Motueka/Mosaic DIPA – 8.1% ABV ($4.25/8.5 – 7/14oz POURS): This brewski beer is dry hopped with our two favorite “Mo” hops… Motueka and Mosaic! This 2023 Motueka lot has that wonderful lime-zest and tropical aroma without any of the “dirty” earthiness we’ve gotten from other New Zealand growers. We paired it with a little Mosaic and Mosaic Cryo from our wonderful 2022 lot from Yakima Chief. The balance gives the dankness and berry notes to give depth, while still letting the Motueka shine! Order 4-pack/$21
Vanillafort – Vanilla DIPA – 8.0% ABV ($8.50 – 16oz CAN): We first created Vanillafort two years ago as a 10 gallon variant; that single keg of vanilla-bean-infused Pillowfort has finally lead to its first canning run! Talk about rich, dry hopped with over 4-lbs of Citra® and Azacca® plus 30 Madagascar vanilla beans per barrel. The combination of citrus and melon from the hops and creamy vanilla makes for a decedent dessert-like DIPA! Order 4-pack/$21
Orange & Coconut Double Parfait – Coconut/Vanilla/Orange Zest DIPA – 8.1% ABV ($4.25/8.5 – 7/14oz POURS): Our sorbet series combines hoppy beers with fruit and vanilla, the parfait series adds coconut! Richer, coconut-creamier, but still bright and drinkable. This is our strongest iteration yet! After double-dry-hopping, we loaded in fresh orange zest, Madagascar vanilla beans, and raw coconut! A milkshake DIPA without the dairy! Can Release 9/22
No Fruit Was Harmed – BRU-1™ and Sabro® DDH DIPA – 8.2% ABV ($4.25/8.5 – 7/14oz POURS): While the flavors of this beer were inspired by Piña Colada we didn’t add any pineapple, coconut, lactose, extracts! To create a juicy pineapple-like aroma we selected a strain that creates tropical aromatics then dry hopped with BRU-1 hops. The coconut-leaning aromatics are from the Sabro hops, while the creaminess is from unmalted oats! Don’t expect a Piña Colada in a can (this isn’t a Smüzí afterall)! Can Release 9/22
Shadows Blacker – Doppelbock Stout – 8.2% ABV ($8.50 – 16oz CAN): There are two ways to look at this dark lager. First as a black doppelbock, loaded with Munich and Vienna malts, and lagered for more than a month. Second as a German-inspired stout, with smooth roast from German chocolate malt. Either way the intense malt flavor lands between chocolate breakfast cereal and fresh baked pumpernickel bread. Order 4-pack/$19
Wrath of Grapes – Double-Barrel-Aged Dark Sour with Syrah Wine Grapes – 8.7% ABV ($20 – 500mL BOTTLE): We wanted to create our most vinous beer yet! The fall of 2022 we blended barrels of sour red and sour black that had already aged for more than a year onto Syrah grape must. After referementing we returned the beer to fresh Syrah wine barrels for an additional five months of aging. It emerged oaky, with a snappy acidity, and a a beautiful balance between the dark fruit of the Syrah grapes and deep malt! Order 500 mL Bottle/$18
Order to Chaos #2 (2022) – Barrel Aged Dark Sour – 9.2% ABV ($19 – 500mL BOTTLE): This is a blend of sour red ale aged in Pinot Noir barrels for 20 months and a stout aged in Double Oak Bourbon barrels for 9 months. The sweetness from the stout balances the assertive acidity from the red. Roast and red fruit mingle into a… sour stout or is it a Flanders black? Order 500 mL Bottle/$17
Timestream – Imperial Stout – 10.0% ABV ($12 – 500mL BOTTLE):
Even when we aren’t barrel-aging a stout, we still like to give it some time before release. We pushed the syrupy body and mouthfeel further than we have for any other stouts. Most of the balancing bitterness to that sweetness is provided by a combination of German and English roasted grain, bringing flavors of 80% dark chocolate, espresso beans, and caramel. Order 500 mL Bottle/$10
Scarn’s Revenge – Wee Heavy Stout – 10.2% ABV ($10 – 16oz CAN): This super-strength version of Threat Level Midnight is a stout even Goldenface would enjoy! We started with Golden Promise bolstered by two Scottish caramel malts. While Scottish Wee Heavies include a touch of black barley, Cherokee Jack suggested more! The result is notes of coffee and chocolate on the nose with dark fruit and bready malt on the palate. Serve cool, not cold, and have your robot butler pour it into a snifter or thistle! Order 2-pack/$13
Cheater X5 – Nelson/Galaxy TIPA – 10.5% ABV ($4.25/8.5 – 5/10oz POURS): For our 1st anniversary in 2019 we brewed an IPA hopped with a financially-irresponsible amount of our two favorite hops: Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin. Each year since we’ve increased both the strength and dry-hopping rate! The result is exploding with aromatics that remind us of passion fruit, gooseberry, and citrus. Thanks for all of your support over our first five years, it allows us to brew over-the-top beers like this! Can Release 9/22
Dreifeld – Sherry Cask Triplebock – 11.5% ABV ($22 – 500mL BOTTLE): We aged this strong-malty lager in a third-hand PX Sherry Cask from our friends at Sagamore Spirit for 15 months. We get caramel, almonds, earthy, and bready notes… sweet, but not too sweet! Order 500 mL Bottle/$20
Cupped – Chocolate Peanut Stout – 11.3% ABV ($4.25/8.50 – 5/10oz POURS): Peanut butter just isn’t peanut butter if it doesn’t stick to the roof of your mouth! So we focused on creating a sticky mouthfeel for this stout with rye and caramel malts. To enhance the aroma of the cacao nibs most of the color comes from chocolate rye. Then we added powdered peanut butter for that distinctly toasty-nutty flavor that goes so perfectly with chocolate! Order 2-pack/$14
High Value Treat – Bourbon Barrel Barleywine – 11.8% ABV ($24 – 500mL BOTTLE): We aged this English Barleywine for 14 months in two 10-year Knob Creek Bourbon barrels. The barrels underlined the caramel notes (crème brûlée), while bringing vanilla and a little char. It’s a sweet beer perfect for drinking after dinner with (or on) vanilla ice cream! Order 500 mL Bottle/$22
BA Double Stuffed Stout – Barrel-Aged Oreo Stout – 12.1% ABV ($22 – 500mL BOTTLE): We wanted to create an Imperial Stout that tastes like Oreo cookies… we started with a blend of stouts aged in a vanilla extract barrel, a bourbon barrel, and stainless steel. Then added Ethereal’s Ugandan cacao nibs and 75 lbs of actual Oreos! Order 500 mL Bottle/$20
Living in Cinn – Bourbon Barrel Imperial Stout with Cinnamon, Coconut, and Vanilla – 12.1% ABV ($88 – 1.5L MAGNUM BOTTLE): Cinnamon and coconut is a breakfast classic in granola, so we wanted we see how that worked in an Imperial Stout! We started with 15 gallons of our favorite barrel-aged stouts (the Edge Piece base in Basil Hayden and Traverse City Whiskey UnFlaked), then added 15 lbs of coconut (equal parts raw, house-toasted, and candied) and 30 Comoros vanilla beans. Then we dosed in a tincture we made with Saigon cinnamon. Adding cinnamon directly to the beer gives a wonderful aroma, but can also come across a drying. The tincture brings just a beautiful fresh cinnamon-apple aroma that goes beautifully with the creamy coconut and vanilla! Bottles Available To-Go $80
Older Nails – Barrel-Aged Strong Sour – 12.2% ABV ($18 – 375mL BOTTLE): In April 2020 we emptied two bourbon barrels of their resident Imperial Stouts and refilled them with a peculiar base beer inspired by English Stock Ale and Belgian Oud Bruin. The residual stout adds subtle roast to the aromas of fig from the malt, leather from the house culture, and vanilla from the oak. We suggest serving at 50-60°F from a snifter, to accentuate the balance of mild acidity, caramel sweetness, and red fruitiness. Order 375 mL Bottle/$16
Firebeast (VINTAGE) – Imperial Stout aged in Whiskey Barrels – 13.1% ABV ($25 – 500mL BOTTLE): In Collaboration with Toppling Goliath! Imperial Stout brewed with Muscovado aged in Cinnamon Whiskey and High-Malt Whiskey Barrels. IN HOUSE ONLY
Coming Soon
Concrete Forest – Belgian Quad – 9.1% ABV ($4.25/8.5 – 5/10oz POURS): Belgian quads are malty, boozy, and fruity. For this recipe we combined three Belgian malts, two dark candi syrups, and the same Belgian strain we used for Concrete Leaves… plus a secret ingredient from England. The result smells like banana pancakes with maple syrup. Intensely malty (bready, caramelized raisin, and a hint of roast), without excessive malt sweetness. GROWLERS AVAILABLE
