The phrase “Whoa, Nellie!” is just another way to say, “Hold your horses!” To put it simply, it means to slow down. And with this in mind, we’ve created a beer that pairs nicely with slower living … you know, those days focused on doing the important things and forgetting the rest.

Slow living is sort of a curious mix of words, isn’t it? Because it means caring more and caring less. Being present and walking away. It’s about being grounded and being free. In a world that shouts, “Go, go, go!” we’ve come to realize the importance (and necessity) of the word slow. Because slowing down allows us the chance to choose carefully — choose the stuff we spend our time on and, for that matter, keep cold in the cooler. Whoa, Nellie Mexican-Style Lager was brewed for enjoying on those good days when we can go slow and savor every single second of it.


Whoa, Nellie Lager is a bright and clean newcomer to our House Beer lineup. It’s brewed with flaked corn and lightly hopped with Liberty and Zeus for a slight bitterness that’s balanced with a moderate, lingering sweetness. If you close your eyes, you can smell the essence of corn chips, subtle florals and a hint of lemongrass.

This golden beaut is brewed for us by our friends at Melvin Brewing in Alpine, Wyoming. We are thrilled to be collaborating with their team, which not only shares roots in Wyoming but also shares the same commitment to innovation, quality and fun that we do.

Sampled from the tap at Lazy Dog Naperville. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has light straw and grain with a bit of hay underlying. Flavor is straw forward with sweet grains and a hint of bread backing.
