Beer Descriptions

Wicked Garden Honey Rye Beet Wheat - 6.2%

Made with locally malted wheat, rye, barley and locally grown beets with honey from our own bee hives on the farm. This one of a kind beer has a pronounced beet flavor and earthiness while finishing with a light hint of honey. We call this one a "two-sipper.' it often takes that second sip to fully appreciate the character of this brew. The distinct color of this beer makes is stand out clearly.

Hallow-Giving Honey Oatmeal Pumpkin Ale - 6.3%

Smooth and accessible, with an upfront pumpkin character. Featuring local pumpkins and honey harvested right from our farm. Not your pumpkin-in-a-glass pumpkin ale we brew it with a secret spice blend and only in the fall, after pumpkins

ripen. 

Soul Butter Triple IPA - 8%

Soul Butter. Oh man... an intensely hoppy but not bitter, American style triple IPA. Nine separate hop additions, six different hop varieties including local whole cone hops. Aromatic and enormously complex, an aggressive hope flavor dominates without bitterness. Late hop additions including dry-hopping, means that Soul

Butter is overcharged with floral, spicy hop flavors. 

Grapefruit Soul Butter Triple IPA - 8%

Deliciously amped up grapefruit character is a super fun departure from our flagship Triple IPA. 

Pineapple Upside-Down Sour - 5.5%

Great depth of character in this unique sour. Not sour on the forward and the sweet pineapple brings out the balance. 

Sun Cup Lemon Wheat - 5.4%

Distinct natural lemon flavor derived from single ingredient juice insures a bright, clean citrus flavor without added sweetness. Sun Cup is a summer-y, thirst-quenching wheat beer that pairs well with seafood and salads, yet has more than enough backbone and character to stand up to grilled foods as well. Try it with a twist or two of fresh, coarse ground pepper in your glass! we have 4 varieties to choose from.

Shinsu Wasabi-Ginger Cream Ale - 5%

This beer is brewed with malted barley and hops, but also with rice. Rice is a big part of sushi and is a common brewing ingredient that also helps keep the body light and crisp. Then we age the beer on fresh root ginger (of course) and then 'lots of WASABI! The nose is exquisite, and the normal heat you get from wasabi paste is mostly absent. This beer is brewed to be enjoyed with your favorite Asian foods!

Manitou Amber Ale - 5.7%

Unfiltered American Amber Ale. Manitou has a rich, soft malt body, beautiful deep amber color and finishes with a bouquet of whole cone hops. Manitou was at one time one of Michigan's most widely recognized microbrewed brands. Originally produced by Traverse Brewing Company in Williamsburg Michigan, Manitou is now brewed in Traverse City, on the same equipment, with the original recipe by the same brewer. One of our flagship brews, you can find this beer on draft and in 16 oz cans throughout our distribution area.

Brown Donkey Smasher – 9.0% ­

Donkey Smasher is big, strong, and brown with a good solid kick of hops in the finish. This double brown ale incorporates a variety of grains to enhance fermentability without making the beer excessively heavy. Full flavored and easy drinking with no harsh alcohol flavors or aroma, Brown Donkey Smasher finishes clean and medium-dry thanks to late addition hops. Features local hops from MI Local Hops.

Sleeping Bear Brown Ale- 4.6%

Subtle malt flavor is balanced with clean hop character, yielding a nicely rounded flavor profile. Light brown in color with a mildly nutty character, this beer appeals to a wide audience and pairs well with many dishes. One of the first widely distributed craft beers in Michigan, Sleeping Bear Brown was originally produced by Traverse Brewing Company. Brewed with MI Local Hops and malt from Grand Traverse Malting Company.

Scarborough Fair - 5.8%

Scarborough Fair has not been brewed here since our Grand Opening 9+ years ago and is our nod to music legends Simon and Garfunkel. This herbal beer is, as you would think, brewed with Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme and it’s a great beer for the Thanksgiving season! It's a wonderful, savory substitute for the water you put in your stuffing and it makes a great marinade too. Try it in your crockpot and "set it and forget it" dishes like roasts or oven baked ham liquid. (oh and you can just drink it too)

Squatch Brown Porter - 7.3%

Squatch is a special Brown Porter that we started brewing a couple years ago and has become a big BTF favorite. Its big, bold flavor & body is exceptional this time of year as we're yearning for spring and a walk through the woods. Deeply complex with a special blend of caramel & chocolate malts, it goes great with desserts of all kinds plus fruits and nuts but also does well with BBQ, sausages, Gruyère cheese, chillies and the like.

Barrel Aged Man In Green - 7.5%

Our Man In Black aged in barrels from Grand Traverse Distillery.  This beer, very similar to Johnny Cash himself, took on a life of its own. Man In Black is a classic American Stout with a malty, balanced, chocolate body. This rendition is a classic sour with hints of apple. A perfect sipper or a great blend with our Snow Owl Dry Cider. Careful though, when blending, it goes down fast and the ABVs will sneak up on you.

Four Leaf Stout - 4.3%

This is truly an easy drinking stout. It's well rounded, chocolatey flavors provide a full bodied beer that can be drank all day. At 4.3% ABVs you still get the robustness of a stout without the fullness that can come with it. Great to mix with our Barley Wine for a black & tan. Perfect for cooking with too. Have in on regular tap or nitro! 

William Claude Barleywine - 11%

William Claude is our nod to comedian and film super star W.C Fields. It is brewed with rye, barley and a deep specialty malt bill that provides the big body of this 11% haymaker. The exotic hop varieties make its perfect balance interesting and extra flavorful.  “A good cast is worth repeating”
