Malts: Montana 2-Row Pale, Caramel, Carapils, and Munich. Hops: Simcoe® and Flathead Cascade.

A dance between two beer styles, this brew is hopped appropriately for an American-style IPA with pounds of Cryo Mosaic and Pacifica hops expressing citrus, pine, candied mango, and subtle grassy notes. This beer has a malt bill that mimics a Wheat Ale, creating a cloudy, creamy, smooth backbone and fermented high to stress the yeast to produce more esters and phenols. Malts: Montana 2-Row Pale, Wheat, Chit, and Rolled Oats. Hops: Mosaic® and Pacifica.

Super smooth and fruity would be the best way to describe this thick and hoppy IPA. It is much more mellow than the traditional IPA in that the hops are predominantly a flavor component rather than the back of the throat bitter that some customers are accustomed to. It may not look quite like a milkshake, but the beer sits heavy on the tongue and is a great dessert to any pub fare. Malts: Wheat, Pale, Dextrin, Oat Malt, and Rolled Oats. Hops: Amarillo®, Simcoe®, Citra®, Flathead El Dorado®, and Sabro® .

Hops: Zythos, Cascade, and Centennial.

Premium Lager is the standard for American beer, made famous by the larger US breweries. We have brewed this beer to satisfy the want for a crisp, light-bodied, low-hopped beer that is still craft. 10% flaked corn was used in the mash to create alcohol while reducing the malt flavor profile. The corn leaves a clean, refreshing finish with a mild, smooth mouth feel. Malt: Montana 2-Row Pale, Carapils, Pilsen, and Flaked Corn. Hops: German Perle and Palisade.
