This kettle sour is inspired by the Napoleon. Not the famously undersized general, but rather, the flaky, cream-filled pastry. We began the process with a wheat heavy grain bill which we ran off and kettle soured before boiling with lactose, a milk sugar. We then added a ridiculous quantity of pure raspberry puree to the fermentation and let it all bubble away until the flavors developed and the yeast was finished. What resulted is a fantastically fruit-forward brew with a raspberry aroma, striking appearance, and a refreshingly sweet/tart finish. Read Less

It's a Dreamsicle in a glass! Fruity, tart, a bit creamy, what’s not to love about our springtime DYNAMITE? The sweet and citrus character of tangerine shines through in this quencher. A base of pale, wheat, and Munich malts lay the foundation for an overnight souring in the kettle with Lactobacillus. Lactose is added to the boil for that hint of creaminess that mingles with the generous addition of tangerine puree in the fermenter to produce a banging good brew. Read Less

The Judy began as a Saison brewed with lemongrass and rose hips and was fermented with a French Saison yeast. We then pressed, puréed and otherwise manipulated fresh peaches until we could squeeze them into chardonnay barrels along with a mix of Brettanomyces cultures. After a few months of aging, she took on a new life. Effervescent, spunky & dry, with fruity peach and Brett bursting out of the glass with the help of prickly carbonation. The Judy is a tribute to the Village of Los Ranchos. Its agriculture & its tenacious spirit. Santé! Read Less

Altbier is a throwback to the pre-lager days in Germany. A top fermenting yeast is employed at a cooler temperature to achieve a smooth, slightly fruity fermentation profile. Misfitter is a decidedly malty brew with just enough hops to add balance. Though technically an ale, we let this one lager for a bit to smooth out any rough edges and add to its drinkability. Prost!

A barrel aged, dry hopped, brettanomyces spiked Saison is best brewed with friends. In this case, our friends from Ex Novo Brewing joined us to collaborate on this very special bottle release. We began by brewing a Saison with hard, red, Colorado wheat then fermented it with the French Saison strain. It then underwent aging in barrels with two strains of Brettanomyces before being dry hopped with Southern Passion hops. Bottled and conditioned to traditional, very high, Saison carbonation levels, this beer will be fruity and hoppy now and will develop more funky, Brett character as it ages. Read Less

We reworked our Dunkel recipe a bit to up the influence of the dark side. Don’t be afraid though, this brew features big chocolate backing up an intense Munich malt character. Only Munich and Carafa malts were used in the grist before we boiled it all up with a few Noble hops. A long lagering and slow carbonation process results in a deliciously dark lager with a silky smooth mouthfeel. While not strictly traditional, this Dunkel is a brewers’ favorite. Prost.Prost...and see you on the dark side! Read Less

Double the Raspberry! Double the Lactose! Double the Dynamite! In celebration of our three year anniversary, we brewed up this Dynamite to be more explosive in every way. We boosted up the grain bill for a bit more of a punch and followed up with more souring, more lactose, to sweeten it up, and most importantly twice the raspberry. This beer is jammy sweet, puckeringly tart, and packs a bit of wallop! Read Less
