Beer

Pink Boots Hoppy Kölsch4.9% ABV

An extra hoppy twist on a traditional Kölsch, brewed with this year's Pink Boots hop blend. Notes of dank fresh melon, Juicy Fruit bubblegum, and a crisp lagered finish.

A returning favorite. A crisp pale lager that starts with a fruity punch, then finishes with a distinct and refreshing floral note.

Harvest Saison6.5% ABV

A fall-leaning saison with slight malt sweetness, earthy squash notes, and a hint of brown sugar that brings out bright, fruity flavors.

Farmhouse Saison6.8% ABV

Funky farmhouse ale with light tartness and expressive yeast character. Lemon peel, black pepper, subtle hay, and a dry finish.

West Coast IPA7.0% ABV

A dank IPA brewed with Cascade and Mosaic hops, bringing notes of pine, grapefruit zest, and melon with a bitter finish.

A Belgian-style ale with jammy stone fruit, clove, warming spice, and a subtle toffee sweetness from Himalayan Golden Raisins.
