Spontaneous fermentation, patient maturation in oak barrels, and continued evolution in the bottle result in a distinctively complex beer.

Drie Fonteinen Hommage 750mL – 3 Fonteinen Hommage is the result of macerating hand-picked whole sour cherries and raspberries on young lambic for at least four months, in a proportion of 760 to 800 grams of raspberries and 200 to 240 grams of sour cherries per litre of lambic. This fruit lambic is then blended again with more lambic to obtain a minimum intensity of 35% fruit. Hommage is a bodied raspberry lambic beer, with an intense deep red forest fruit bouquet. This unfiltered and unpasteurised lambic is all-natural with no artificial juices, syrups, or sugars added. 6%ABV

Drie Fonteinen Oude Geuze – Available in 1.5l, 750ml, and 375ml. A true Geuze. A blend of 1, 2, and 3 year-old lambic unfiltered and unpasteurized and aged in the bottle for at least 6 months after blending. Continued fermentation in the bottle give this Geuze its famous champagne-like spritziness.

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Doppelbock – While for the classic “Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier” traditionally beech has been – and still is – used, the malt for “Schlenkerla Oak Smoke” is kilned with Oak wood.

Austin Beerworks Megaflora – You’ve whacked through a thicket of typical IPAs. Now you come upon Megaflora, hanging on the vine like a ripe melon.

Dust Bowl Taco Truck Amber – This smooth-drinking amber lager blends color and flavor without heaviness or bitterness. It showcases a rich malty character with a light body and smooth finish. 4.7% ABV 

Founders Blushing Monk – Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick.

Ommegang Bourbon Barrel Aged Adoration – Brewed with roasted specialty malts and a robust blend of spices, then aged in bourbon barrels for at least six months, Bourbon Barrel Adoration celebrates the Belgian tradition of spiced Noël ales.

Lagunitas Willettized – Their friends over at Kentucky’s own Willett Distillery have one kind of barrel: wood. And they put two things in them: Bourbon and Rye. We were fortunate enough to get some of their Bourbon barrels, and we put our Imperial Stout in them. It’s a chocolatey, coffee-y, smoky, Bourbon-y beast of a barrel-aged thing. 13.1% ABV

Kostrizer Schwarzbier – Köstritzer Black Lager is a characterful, smooth, full-bodied dark lager. It’s much more complex than a standard lager, with subtle tones of malt and chocolate.

Panther Island Allergeez – Our award winning, unfiltered American wheat beer that is deep golden in color with a nice haze.
