Description
It seems simple.

Water. Yeast. Grains. Hops. That’s all it takes to make beer. But what we do with those simple ingredients within these walls is what makes us special.

Foothills began brewing beer at our West 4th Street location in March 2005, with three 15-barrel fermenters. Jamie and his brewers managed to crank out 800 barrels of beer that year, and doubled that output the following year.

As demand and production continued to increase, the need became obvious for more space. The solution came in the form of a 48,000 square foot warehouse a few miles away, an old manila envelope factory that was retro-fitted with brewing equipment and became Foothills’ main production facility, located at 3800 Kimwell Drive.

Today both brewery locations continue to produce our top-quality beers. We offer weekend tours from our tasting room at our main brewing facility. Conversely, if you ask nicely at the downtown brewpub, you can probably get a peek at the operation.

Tap at Snallyghaster 2016 showing pitch black with half a finger of latte colored foam. The nose shows barely anything except a few notes of soy sauce. The palate is full bodied - very oily and slick with full but very smooth carbonation. Strong undertones of dark chocolate. Vanilla forward with light notes of bourbon and a light burnt dark chocolate bitterness on the finish.

Weird floral element. I detect lavender but some detected it as raspberries. Nice hot chocolate character.
