9 BEERS NOW ON TAP

 

HaverAle
4.5% ab
v 18 ibu

Our award-winning cream ale is delicious light ale with plenty of flavor.  Ferments warm for a fruity nose and then stored cold for a crisp, dry finish. This is one nicely balanced beer. A great introduction to what we do!

Leatherlips I.P.A. 
 5% abv, 50 ibu   
 

Hold onto your hats, or even better - your lips!  This beer is for hop-heads only.  Ripe with floral and citrus notes, our "India pale ale" is so packed with Centennial, Newport and Nugget hops it should be green (the color of hops). Hop to the challenge!  



Homerun APA
6%  abv, 38 ibu  

Want some hops but to still keep your taste buds intact?  This American Pale Ale is the choice for you.  With light floral notes and a good dose of Glacier hops, this well-balanced APA is a great step up if you want to graduate your palate.  It's also great with fried seafood and burgers.

2010  GOLD METAL WINNER

GREAT AMERICAN BEER FEST

5% abv., 40 ibu

This hoppy German altbier-style ale has the crispness of a German lager, the hoppy punch of a pale ale, and the malt backbone of a brown. It's a unique combination of flavors that is almost exclusively brewed in the Dusseldorf area of Germany. Very smooth and drinkable with a great toasted flavor. Our newest year-round addition!

WHITTIER WHITE

4.6% ABV, 20 IBU

   Cloudy because of the large amount of wheat added to the mash and the Belgian yeast remaining in suspension, our Belgian Wit is light, refreshing, and a little bit tart. It's spiced with coriander, curacao orange peel, and a top secret brewing spice. This is one of our favorite Summer brews.

 

BOOTSTRAP BLOND ALE

4.7% ABV, 23 IBU

Our blond is a light, drinkable ale made with Pilsner malt, a touch of wheat and Noble Hallertau hops. It's closely based on Kolsch biers of Cologne Germany. We use a traditional yeast strain that ferments at a lower temperature than most ale yeasts and then cold-condition the beer for several weeks. The result is a light, flavorful ale with a lager-like clean and crisp finish.

 

WEIHNER BOCK

6.2% ABV 36 IBU

This This German-style Winter Bock (or Weihnachtsbier) is brewed with Dark Munich, Munich, Pilsner and Dark German Malt. We balance it with some Northern Brewer hops and then lager it for two months. The result is a very smooth malt driven Amber lager that we think you'll love.

JOSHUA NORTON IMPERIAL STOUT

9.1% ABV, 87 IBU

Our Joshua Norton Imperial Stout has just the right balance of complexity and drinkability. We use 2 Row Barley, caramel malts, 3 dark malts, smoked malt and Cascade hops to create a truly unique, rich, chocolately ale that barely fits in our brew system. It's aged 3 months after fermentation, so even though it's a high ABV, it is strill drinkable and never harsh in flavor.

Pentucket Dark Ale

5% ABV 36 IBU

Our We love German ales, especially the Kolsch and Alt, but there is no traditional dark beer in the category, so we figured we'd create one. We used German Munich malt with small amounts of Dark and Smoked malts and a good dose of Citrusy American Cascade hops. A unique and tasty beer that still has that crisp German ale finish.

That new old fashioned way!
