Liberty Card Lager

Lager - Helles
|
5.5%
Malt forward, balanced, bready/floral >>> For our very first Lager beer, we brewed the highly drinkable German-style Helles. We used 2 German malts along with Hallertau hops to bring you Liberty Card Lager. With a touch of malt sweetness that balances the spicy floral German hop flavors and light bitterness, this is a beer for beer lovers. And take note, you’ll want to make sure you have your liberty card in hand because you can’t drink just one, especially on a hot day!

Crisp, refreshing, yet slightly tart, a pint of Passion Fruity Pants is the perfect way to drink in the springtime.

Dirty Diver Double IPA

With hop aromas of mangoes, guavas and tangerines, Dirty Diver is sure to satisfy your craving for hops!

Snorkeling Schwarzbier

Schwarzbier
|
5.0%
German-Style Black Lager; Malt forward, balanced, coffee/toast/caramel >>> We brewed a Schwarzbier, what may be the oldest continuously brewed beer style in the world. It literally means “black beer” in German. Brewed with all German grains and hops, this black lager balances smooth roasted malt flavors with moderate hop bitterness. Each sip will remind you of drinking a pilsner but with notes of coffee and toast, and hints of caramel. We dare you to enjoy a couple and then say Snorkeling Schwarzbier five times fast!

We used copious amounts of chocolate, roast, black patent, and crystal malts; we even added freshly ground cacao nibs to our boil kettle to accentuate the chocolate flavor notes. This delectable brew is overflowing with earthy, bitter-sweet chocolate, anise and Italian espresso flavors. It finishes with a deep, rich, roasted profile and just a touch of lingering bitterness. Velvety on the palate and layered with intense malt flavor and aroma, this beer is not for the faint of heart!
