KÖLSCH
MICHIGAN KÖLSCH ALE
Our Kölsch-style beer is not entirely traditional due to our use of American grown hops and malt, but we still believe you won’t find a better version of this style ale. It’s subtle malty sweetness with notes of biscuits and honey pairs well with spicy foods or by itself. Enjoy with friends and in good health.

HOP DEALER
INDIA PALE ALE
Like the hops used to brew it, this beer smells of tangerine and lemon with hints of fresh pine. If your passion for hops runs deep, you have to try this intensely hoppy and salaciously bitter American-style IPA that you’ll love to smell almost as much as you’ll love to drink.

INDECISION
AMBER ALE
Indecision (noun) — reluctance or an inability to decide. What started out as an Amber Ale morphed into something that didn’t quite fit any mold. What should we call this penny-hued brew. Red? Amber? But nothing captured its full character. The answer was staring us in the face, and Indecision was born. Enjoy this copper-colored brew featuring plenty of hop character and a dark malt backbone that distinguishes it from anything else. If you can’t decide what beer to drink, then Indecision is really your only decision.

HARVEST ALE
MICHIGAN WET-HOP ALE
Our Harvest Ale truly showcases the terroir of Michigan agriculture. We sourced malt from Empire Malting Co. just 2 miles north of Sleeping Bear Dunes, and from Great Lakes Malting Co. Of course, the Harvest Ale is all about the hops! We sourced 300 lbs. of Cascade hops from Hickory Creek Hops and Hop Head Farms, all grown within 5 miles of our brewery facility!
The malt flavor is light and slightly toasty with a hint of caramel and a fuller texture contributed by the rice. The fresh Cascade wet hops add a bright layer of citrus and pine resin to the beer, creating a pleasantly balanced Harvest Ale.

Indulge in this cocoa and milk stout that is reminiscent of lightly roasted coffee, with a definite gourmet chocolate flavor on the finish. CONTAINS LACTOSE

FARMHOUSE ALE
This beer has a classic Saison profile, with an earthy funk and notes of spice. As part of our Just MI Beer Series, this beer was brewed with local malts from Great Lakes Malting Company, featuring barley and oats from the Traverse City region.
