Beer

Year Round

Big Jim

7.2% ABV / 92 IBUs

Cascade, Mt. Hood and an enormous amount of Columbus hops added late in the brew fermenter, give this beer the hop punch IPA lovers crave. There is also a significant malt backbone and complexity to this beer to stand up to the hop intensity. At 7.2% ABV and 92 IBUs, this is a tribute to the style we call the Minnesota IPA.

Light Rail
Pale Ale

5.5% ABV / 45 IBUs

This is a light-bodied, hop-forward pale ale. Copious amounts of Cascade hops late in the brewing process, and another huge dry hop addition in the fermenter will remind craft beer lovers what they love about this style. The intense hop aroma will make you think IPA, but the bitterness is dialed back to showcase the characteristics of this classic hop variety. And at 5.5% ABV, you can enjoy a few of them.

Pravy Pilsner

5.3% ABV / 24 IBUs

The crown jewel of our lager program. Pravy is Czech for “true” or “genuine” and appropriately named as we set out to brew the most authentic version of this style that we could. The biggest challenge was replicating the water profile unique to Pilzn, Czech Republic. This mean stripping the mineral content of our Minneapolis water and correcting the water chemistry until the Pilzn profile was achieved Then it is lagered for a full 6 week, which makes the beer clear and “clean” tasting. Czech Saaz hops and floor malted malt are used and give a spicy, floral aroma with a bready malt richness.

Smokehouse Porter

6.2% ABV / 30 IBUs

Heavier on the caramel malt and lighter on the roast malt. 5% of the base malt is smoked in-house for a smoky complexity. This beer will pair well with most of our menu items. And weighing in at 6.2% ABV it can also be your winter warmer.

Seasonals

Belgian Dubbel

7.8% ABV / 20 IBUs

This is a malt forward, low hop beer with lots of esters (fruit and spice flavor/aroma) from the Belgian yeast. Important to note that NO SPICES were added to this beer. The spice comes from the Belgian yeast strain. Flavors of dried fruit and cherries from the Special B malt complimented with notable flavors of clove and anise from the yeast.

Sandbar Saison

6.1% ABV / 18 IBUs

Sandbar is a bone dry saison. This beer has a very light malt bill that lets the yeast be the star of the show. It is a crisp light body beer with notes of spicy clove, black pepper, earthy tones, and fruitiness.

Urban Elf Wheat Lager

5.5% ABV / 17 IBUs

We went excessive with this beer, 72% of the grain bill is comprised of wheat to really highlight the way wheat impacts beer. The mild flavors of fruit and spice, but not overstated. Overall a clean, delicious lager that is great for the summer.

Pride Red

5.9% ABV / 26 IBUs

We brew this every year for Pride Week, an American Red Ale. The beer is medium body with the aroma of light biscuit and caramel. Flavor is a mix of toast, toffee, raisin,semi-sweet dark fruits, a touch of herbal, and some earthy tones. Low hops to let the fancy malts shine.

Granola Girl – SOLD OUT

5.9% ABV / 22 IBUs

This beer is designed to show off the delicious malt that is golden naked oats. This year we added Malted oats for a total of 30% oats in the grain bill. The addition of Honey Malt this year adds a nutty, grainy complexity. Mouthfeel is going to be smooth with a creamy satin like texture from the high protein rolled oats. Hallertaur hops are showcased in the nose with earthy, floral, light fruit, and herbal notes. Flavor has a mix of toast, nuts, and subtle berry. Cheers!

Dictator – SOLD OUT

9.2% ABV / 32 IBUs

We take Ashton Churchill and Maduro cigars and soak them in dark rum and use them to smoke 20% of the malt in this Imperial Brown Ale. There is a malty sweetness up front with a finish of dry tobacco and light leather. Think of how an unlit cigar smells and these are the qualities that transfer to the beer but with less astringent properties of wood smoke.

Cold Front IPA – SOLD OUT

7.0% ABV / 70 IBUs

Cold Front is an American IPA brewed with a lot of white wheat, just above 50% of the mash bill is wheat. The wheat aids in giving the beer a soft body for the hops to play on. This beer showcases Falconer’s Flight Hops, which is a proprietary blend of various hops from the pacific northwest. These hops create both a dank and juicy profile, which give citrus, grapefruit, and a bit of pine in the nose and palate.

Ball & Chain – SOLD OUT

7.1% ABV / 22 IBUs

This is a British Strong Ale originally brewed for the owner’s wedding. Made to be a bit higher ABV with low hops to appeal to everyone. He focused on using a single malt, Golden Promise (get it?) that has a rich and sweet characteristic. A single hop, CTZ, is used in a very small amount to keep IBUs low.
