A smooth and lightly malty backbone creates balance for this double dry hopped IPA. Enjoy a dank bouquet of combined Pacific Northwest hops for a great all around beer.
President Ulysses S. Grant’s (Uly to his friends) Chocolate Oatmeal Stout is what this ale is all about!
Dark as the mines of Galena, this stout has a rich and creamy tanned head which leaves beautiful lacing in your glass as it is enjoyed. It's a full bodied ale with profound notes of chocolate and roasted malts which help to round out its flavor profile. Sweet coffee notes also linger on the palate to entice the next sip!

A classic Bavarian style wheat beer that is straw in color and somewhat cloudy due to the yeast in suspension. The yeast gives the beer a medium to heavy mouth feel yet it is very refreshing due to banana and clove overtones. This beer finishes with a light hop flavor that is smoothly notable.
Amber in color from lightly roasted and caramelized malts, exhibiting balanced flavors of raisin bread and caramel, while being complimented by Pacific Northwest hops.
Our lightest beer but without the sacrifice of character, featuring a crisp and smooth malt profile from Bohemian floor malted pilsner and wheat malt.
A complex nut brown ale featuring notes of pale chocolate, toasted bread and caramel enhanced by sitting with fifty pounds of house roasted and then honey glazed pecans.
Forbidden Apple, here to stay, is our popular Apple sour, utilizing real fruit and kettle soured to a tart but not overly sour flavor profile. This is crisp, tart and refreshing that'll be sure to improve your day..
(IBU 17, ABV 5.8%) 
A balanced trifecta between a Belgian Blonde using premium Belgian yeast and grain, 100% prickly pear cactus fruit, and some subtle chili peppers taste from seco and Guajillo peppers. Not sweet and not spicy making this a highly drinkable new funky option on our tap lines. Come give it a try!
Light and highly drinkable but sophisticated featuring premium German Pilsner malt, speciality grains and yeast from one of the oldest breweries in Germany. This is now the lightest beer on tap. "Helle" in German means pales, which is the color of this beer. It's light but malt foward with minimal hop expression and features a clean, dry finish.
Dry hopped NE IPA. Smooth, light and full of tropical fruit notes on the nose and palate.
Deceptively light, this dark red lager boasts a unique tasting malt profile of light roast, subtle sweet smoke flavor from cherry smoked malt, and toasted bread while finishing clean and dry! This beer just made fall even better.
Smooth and dry finishing with a balanced addition of a special Honduran cold brew espresso blend from Galena Roasters with a kiss of toasted organic coconut.
