We will brew about 35 different styles of beer throughout the year and also feature guest taps of some great beers we love to drink. Here's a list of what's on tap now:
(updated 1-2-11)
Workingman Mild
Welcome back the beer that started the revolution. An english luncheon beer with toffee and caramel notes. Low in alcohol, high in flavor.
$5 pint (3.5% ABV)
Bottom Up Wit
Refreshing Belgian-style wheat beer spiced with coriander and orange peel. Made with organic malt and wheat.
$5 pint (4.5% ABV)
Cross of Gold
Crisp golden ale with a delicate hop finish.
$5 pint (5.0% ABV)
Iron Fist Pale Ale
Commanding, dry-hopped ale with Centennial, Cascade, Chinook and Amarillo hop varieties.
$5 pint (5.5% ABV)
Anti-Hero IPA
An American hop assault for all the ambivalent warriors who get the girl in the end. “Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess.”
$6 tulip glass (6.5% ABV)
Eugene
A striking, robust porter full of warmth and chocolate malt.
$6 pint (7.0% ABV)
Weegene
A "not so small" beer brewed using the 2nd runnings of wort after collecting the super concentrated liquid to brew the Hugene Imperial Porter
$5 pint ( 4.7% ABV)
Foursome Quadrupel
Our dark strong ale or "Quadrupel" is inspired by the traditional Trappist beers produced by the Abbey breweries of Belgium. Brewed with French Pilsner, Caramunich and German CaraAroma malts, resulting in a deep chestnut hue with hints of garnet red.
$10 10oz tulip, $5 sample (11.8% ABV)
Hugene
Hugene is a humungous Imperial Porter brewed using the first runnings of wort from a huge mash yielding the darkest and highest concentration of fermentable sugars.
$8 snifter, $4 sample (10.6% ABV)
Fair Warning
An English Brown Ale with an American sensibility, as the alcohol content is considerably higher in this beer than traditional English Browns. We used all English malts and English hops, save for a handful of Warrior hops for bittering. The caramel sweetness is well balanced with the herbal tea-like qualities in the finish, making for a very enjoyable strong brown ale.
$7 tulip, $3 sample (8.1% ABV)
