Description
Great beer, good music in back, odd people. We are a small microbrewery located south of Chicago in Lansing, Illinois. Our tasting room serves eight different selections of our hand-crafted beer. Our beer won't make you strong or handsome, but if you appreciate craft beer and want to meet some guys that are happy to make it, serve it, and probably drink it with you.

16 oz. 4-pack from 1TP's final garage sale. Hazy gold pour under a thick head. Pine resin and stone fruit nose. Nice big Imperial IPA taste. Citrusy and resiny mouthfeel, some strong malt flavor. Nice example f the style, with alcohol coming on like an aperitif.

16oz can. 100 IBU, thick, resinous old school IIPA in most respects. Rich, heavy, boozy...but clean and filtered/fined. Deep ruby red body. Right next door to Barleywine...well...sort of is one. A nice change of pace from what is on beer menus in 2023.

16oz can. Big beer. Not quite hoppy enough to be a US Barleywine. Rich malts. Drinkable, not sugary despite being rich. OK.

16oz can. Loral and Simcoe is a nice combination. True look, mouthfeel. Loral gives it a little bit of a herbaceous quality. Exceeded my expectations. Good.

16oz can. Rich, tasty stuff. Doesn't have the Belgian effervescence, but does have great malt/candy sugary flavor. Pinch darker than typical Golden Ale, more medium almost amber feel. Good.

16oz can. Rich, thick, malty. Pleasant enough example of the style, not super hoppy or bitter. Full bodied. OK.

Pretty solid Red Ale, somewhere between an Irish Red and West Coast Amber. Luscious, deep amber caramel malt tone. Sort of red fruity hop tone. Good.

Sampled from the tap at Navigator Taproom. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has light citrus and citrus rind with a touch of grapefruit and light grain backing. Flavor has grass and citrus with a strong earthy grain backbone in the finish.

Pour is a murky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is dark sugar and dark fruit. Flavor is much the same a sweet dark fruit with a lasting chewy dark malt. Flavorful but also very sweet.
