This ground-breaking style combines the essential ingredients and hopping methods used to create a world-class I.P.A. Then using our expert lagering techniques and house lager yeast we created an instant favorite among the existing and steadily growing number of “hop-heads” and craft “lager-heads” in the beer world today. Gulo Gulo I.P.L. is hopped with Cascade, Chinook, Columbus, Warrior and Pilgrim hops. It is dry-hopped once in the fermenter and then a second time with whole-cone Cascade hops before packaging.

This new addition to our IPL lineup is in contrast to many of our other IPLs and hop-forward lagers because it’s even more injected with hoppy and bitter goodness!

The approach that WSBCo. usually takes towards IPLs is balancing out the hops with some malt backbone and maybe a little light caramel sweetness. Not with Tundra King. This beer is all hops. Big piney nose. Rich citrus flavors. Tongue curling bitterness. Just like the left-coasters like it!

Brewed with a simple Pilsner malt base for a mesmerizing sunset gold hue that you could find in SoCal or the Arctic, and then flooded with Simcoe, Centennial, and Columbus hops in the brewhouse and dry-hop to give Tundra King an aggressively dank West Coast hop profile. Read Less

Snakes on a Shamrock’s recipe is based on an Irish Red Ale style, which is the predominant style in the style guidelines, but it lends itself to much interpretation, including the ability to be reformulated into a lager.

It is made with mostly Pale Ale malt which is one of the more hearty of base malts. We used flaked rice for about 15% of the recipe to lighten the body and then used Crystal malts to give the beer a nice soft sweetness. We then topped it off with a splash of Roasted malt and Amber malt to give the SOaS its deep ruby hues.

We used German Magnum hops for bittering, and to balance out the soft malt sweetness so there is very little to no hop aroma or flavor in this lager. Read Less

Our Dry Stout Lager. Roasty, toasty, and dry with a good malt backbone. Releases in March every year.

In the beginning we never brewed a beer that really gave justice to the dark simplicity of a well made Stout. Conversely, in the mainstream of lager styles none of them share the guidelines for a beer that is dark, dry, and supremely roasty. Like a lot of our beers we have to interpret our more experimental beers with care as our house yeast will pick out every little nuance we add through our choices of malt and hops.

The Volitionist is our journey into an untapped realm of styles, the Stout Lagers. There is: Dry Stout, Sweet, Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Foreign Extra Stout, American Stout, and Russian Imperial Stout...yet no Stout Lager. So we did it.

We use a simple recipe meant to capture the essence of the roasted malts chosen coupled with hops that are known to do well in Ales and Lagers. There is a carefully measured balance of American and British Roasted Barleys, Flaked Barley, and Chocolate Malt to give Volitionist its distinct profile. We found that by letting it ferment to total fruition the dry-ness was a great way of showcasing the subtleties.

The Volitionist shares all the similarities of a traditional American Stout and a Dry Stout but the accentuated subtleties within the roasty persona we've built in this beer, are wholly unique to it's concept. As an undefined style in which we chose to explore we can choose to go down this road of discovery. Read Less
