Description
You can come get to know our beers and the people behind them at either of our two locations.
Our original brewery on Lincoln Avenue is home to our Brewery Shop, where you can sample or purchase to-go, and a Tap Room, where you can stay, get a bite to eat and get to know who we are and what we do. You can now also visit our new brewery, on Balmoral Avenue, where we have a beer garden in nice weather and a completely separate food program.
Both locations offer perennials Daisy Cutter, Bodem, Pony Pilsner and Tuna plus plenty of small batch beers released weekly.

1 American Pint can from De Bierkoning. Looks nice with a light blurry kinda caramel golden body - turning more and more cloudy down the can that has a nice big and lasting just off-white head on top. Soft grassy typical inviting American Pale Ale nose here. Mild peaches and clementine zest with sweet malty and strong floral tones. Smells lovely. It has a gliding almost slick feeling in the mouth this and it softly carbonated with those small prickling bubbles. Yeah, tastes just as nice as the aroma. Really floral of course with grassy hoppy tones all the way. Some dry caramel with soft fruity peaches and apricots. Some melon also and it ends light mouthdrying with notes of hay and butter-grassy hops. Really lightdrinkable and sessional. Could drink lots of this in one setting without any problems. 22.03.2014

Mikkeller Vik. Keg. Thanks to the Swedish drinking team. Light haze, gold beer. Small white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Light dry pale malt. Good fresh piney hops, turning slightly minty. Touch of citrus underneath. Little hop spice. Light dry finish. Nice hops here, just a tad dry.
