Do you Dream in Color?       
Coffee Stout        
6.5% abv

How do we interrupt a dream? Is it an unconscious desire, a process of memory development, or something more bizarre? Do insects dream, and if they dream, can we even begin to imagine it? And yes Phil, I also wonder do androids dream of electric sheep? If only I could ask the right question, but my slumber has passed, an aroma far too delightful has awoken me from my colorless dream. A room filled with freshly brewed coffee, the subtle notes of fruits from Ethiopia, enhanced by an artisan roast which admirably combines with the intense notes of chocolate and maltiness found in its dark base.

Electric Fiesta   
Hazy IPA  
6.6% abv

Plug in. The sensations become ever nearer, beating, pulsating, elevating, it becomes too much, everything is too much. The horror of our heart beat! The shock of electricity overloads us, turning into delusional madness. But when brought under control, electricity illuminates a million light bulbs. I can see your face. You will take a drink, and these hops will create their own sensations for each one of us, perhaps reminiscent of tropical fruits and citrus groves, or even your up-in-smoke-daze…

Laughter     
Festbier       
5.5% abv

Did you hear the one about… the joke faded into the background, while the party erupted into laughter. With that little joke it turned into a festival and everyone was smiling – “forget about your worries, and enjoy the Fest,” they said. A touch more malty than a pilsner, a beer intended for when the nights become longer, one to keep the festival going!

Santa Diabla       
Oak Barrel Aged Raspberry Sour   
ABV 6.1%                                                                                   

Is she a saint or a devil? Am I in love or is it merely infatuation? Does it matter? We will never really know the intention of the other. To live is to roll the dice, risk being burnt by the flames of hell or fly into the glorious saintly delights of the sky. Whether you find a devil or saint, maybe both, in this drink I do not know… Santa Diabla was aged for over two years in oak with a host of microbes and then re-fermented on top of blackberries and raspberries.

Mallard Roost  
Toasted Coconut Brown Ale  
6.3% abv

All the puppets have gone home. The wild river calls you! There still is life pulsating through your veins. Dancing cattails blow in the wind, songs of frogs, sunshine falls on her face, watching birds fly over Diamond Hill as the Elkhart flows below… leaving it all behind to follow a curious fox into the unknown. Oh to breathe! An easy drinking brown ale with a complex malt bill which mixes with toasted coconuts while reminding you of a tropical granola bar.  

Soil and Erosion    
Vienna Lager 
4.8% abv

These tired hands. The worn out soil decomposing beneath me. A drought is on the horizon and a dust bowl blows ever nearer, it falls apart so slowly and then all at once, right Hemingway… yet somehow we must go on. A quixotic quest, fool’s gold, dug up with rusted shovels. Why anyone would farm against such odds? Oh my friend, the barley is drying up and the hops are on fire. My glass is empty and the beer has run dry – this is an agricultural product! As the farmer goes, so goes the brewery. Soil and Erosion is a reddish beer designed to replenish the broken down bodies of toil, while providing just enough malty and caramel notes to remind them of the great joys their work unleashes.

Playground Kid
Saison (Oak Aged)  
5.7% abv

We rode the sun out into the streets. “I’m the king of the jungle gym,” she shouted to her loyal stuffed animals below! Days of building worlds, and not worrying about the world. In the playground, sticks become magical wands, slides transport us to fantasyland, Lego maniacs design our new cities, and all the while we dance in the clouds. So fluffy and soft. As we suck in the last rays of light, a shout from the distance calls us back to our bed-sheet nests and furniture castles to dream of all that we will be. Playground Kid is a Saison aged for over two years in an oak wine barrel on a host of microorganisms, producing its complex and refreshing notes of lemon/lime with a touch of tartness and funk.

Wawaka Pils
German Pilsner
4.5%  abv

Glitter blinds my eyes! So give me something outside of that ephemeral city life, give something that ain’t no trend, give me something that I can feel in my fingers. Maybe it ain’t that fancy, no big ole lines awaiting – but I want to taste the crisp flowery elegance that only can be found outside of the glitter. Give me a pilsner in small town America, surrounded by the farms that keep it running! *Gluten Reduced*

Nighttime in the Woods      
Dark Farmhouse Ale aged in Oak Barrels   
10.1% abv

Funky things happen in the woods once the sun goes down. Everything becomes dark, but of course our wild senses adjust, and the howling ruckus ignites… Nighttime in the Woods is a dark mixed fermented ale that was aged for over 3 years in oak red wine barrels. It is sour, complex, and reminiscent of a Flanders Red, a beautiful beer to share with friends and lovers!
