Hop Happy

This is a full-bodied orange hued I.P.A. It has a variety of toasted and caramel malts which create a nice backdrop to the aggressive citrus and floral hop notes. So, come on and get happy with us!

Sasquash

This pumpkin porter recipe was created by our Brewer Kurt. Along with 300 pounds of pumpkin and sweet potato he used a variety of specialty malts to keep your taste buds on an adventurous ride with each sip. You’ll find the roasty flavors are well balanced with pumpkin which gives it a very smooth character. Kurt also added pumpkin spice to this Porter to give it that amazing aroma and finish.

Dunkel-Weizen

A combination of specialty malts and Bavarian yeast, this strain creates a smooth wheat ale with hints of caramel and chocolate.

Weekend at Louies

We took a batch of Louies Demise amber ale and added a bunch of Rishi’s Organic blueberry rooibos and Hibiscus tea blends. After two weeks of cold infusion we filtered out the tea and carbonated it. This awesome beer has a blueberry and strawberry nose with a slight malty aspect. Hints of caramel, and Munich malts come out as the beer warms. The flavors are subtle with the Hibiscus at the forefront of the pallet. The tea blends add a smooth but tart finish to this beer.

Booyah Farm House

Barely, malt and wheat create a smooth body. The malted rye and oats bring out and earthy flavor.

Polish Moon

This pitch black milk stout is teaming with rich roasted malt and coffee flavors. This is a very easy drinking full bodied beer!

Cream Ale

This beer has a very slight hop presence which helps to round out this simple but refreshing beer. Perfect for hot summer days or those who enjoy a nice flavorful light beer.
