Description
Founded in 2012, Cloud 9 Brewery is a nanopub concept featuring locally sourced and organic components in both the brewery and restaurant.
With an emphasis on creative brewing, Cloud 9 is situated in a unique place in the market. Instead of having the exact same line-up from month to month, the beers on-tap at Cloud 9 change as soon as the last drop from the previous batch has been poured. With so many taps, and only 6 year-round beers, the variety is truly amazing.
Cloud 9 also features a unique feedback process by which we judge what beer-drinkers actually think. We collate and analyze the input and use that to shape the direction of the next batch. In this way the community is involved in the brewing process from concept to the final foamy pint.
A commitment to quality, service and genuine interest in our community make Cloud 9 Brewery the place for beer aficionados, foodies, and everyone who enjoys fresh and unique culinary creations.

Milky pale yellow beige pour with a full fluffy white head. Faint pale light grain and subtle tropical fruit hop notes. Mostly pale light malts in the flavor, not much hop flavoror bitterness despite the claimed 40 IBU Smooth and pleasant fresh brew.

On tap at the brewery pours a crisp golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice crisp ginger lemon notes and some cereal sweetness. Taste is more of the ginger lemon balance and a little spice. This is very nice.

On tap at the brewery/taproom. Hazy dull golden with a dense white soapy head. Quite light for the style but familiar aromas greet the nose. Very light toasted malt flavors and a smooth slick finish.

Half pour at brewery. Medium golden, clear, small creamy head. Faint aroma, lemons. Lemongrass comes through a bit fuller in the taste, and the ginger comes in late for a nice brisk snap. Very mild, but full of flavor. Cloud 9 hit it out of the park today.

Draft at Cloud 9. I entered this as a fruit beer, but it could easily be a wit. Fruit notes are very subdued, light bodied as well. Yellow, straw color, hazy, thin skin of head which yields substantial lacing. Aroma features mild fruit and grassy notes. Some herbal flavors sneak in for the taste, hence the name. Very quaffable.

Draft at the brewery. Bright, hazy holden with small creamy head. Aroma features big grainy notes, bready. Taste comes in with more of the grainy flavors, smooth and creamy. Nicely done.
