We keep it real: all of our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurized, and contain no chemical additives or preservatives. And we keep it creative: producing a broad range of year-round and seasonal ales and lagers, and frequent brewer’s specials.
We believe in staying relaxed, down-to-earth, and enjoying an abundance of great beer. There are no secrets here. We share our process, our culture, and of course, the final product – because that’s the way we believe a craft brewery should be.

Many thanks to Peter (pdog555) for this bottle! The nose is dry with lots of roast and coffee in the back. The beer starts very smooth and mild. Nice depth with round coffee beans there, not too bitter with a mild roast. Smooth mild, not too roasted or too bitter, but a bit too soft in everything. The aftertaste wi round and smooth, nice coffee there, mild and sessionable. But I miss something distinctive a bit - the beer seems too mild and mainstream.

Many thanks to Peter (pdog555) for this bottle! Nice Heller Bock nose. The beer starts mild smooth with sweetish hints. Very soft and mild, the body is moderate sweetish and easy to drink, caramel, nice Heller Bock flavour with nice malts. Not much bitterness in the back, easy to drink and very sessionable! Fantastic Maibock.

Very dark with the expected coffee aroma. Very smooth taste, hints of dark chocolate and, obviously, coffee. Elements of this remind me of a stout or a really dark red wine. I have the sneaking suspicion this would pair well with fruit.

Pours a reddish-amber with a very slight yeast smell. More carbonation that I had expected. Interesting taste with a complex palate. Getting distinct hints of nuts and perhaps a slight toasted flavor. Hard to describe, I have no experience with this style. Very good beer though.

Pours a hazy yellow straw from a can. Big Skittles aroma, similar flavor but not cloyingly sweet. Pretty good beer.
