Manitou
Amber Bourbon Sour – 5.7%
Traverse City’s 1st Craft Beer is now Terra Firma’s 1st
sour beer.
Manitou’s malt forward body and underlying hop foundation makes it great
as a sour.
Aged in oak barrels from our friends at Grand Traverse Distillery.
Imperial
Soul Butter IPA-13.0%
“Imperial-izing” our flagship Triple IPA has been something we have been
thinking about doing for many years and well, that time has come. We scaled up
the malt bill, blew up the IBUs, increased the flavor hop profile ad then added
a bunch of our own 2020 honey from our hives in the south field. The results? A
big, beautiful hop monster that’s full of body, depth, and laden with
complexity. It has a lovely subtle warmth to remind you that it is a big beer.
It’s a great beer for a hop head who wants to contemplate the universe and sip
for a while.
Little
Italy Honey Basil 5.2%
Bright, crisp and refreshing, Little Italy offers up an enticing
herbal/floral aroma and early basil flavors before giving way to a light, clean
finish with just a touch of honey. Produced with whole leaf sweet basil, oats,
malt and BTF Honey, this beer is another fine example of a culinary inspired
creation from Brewmaster John Niedermaier.
Batch 500 IPA - 7.3%
The Batch is is back, and it's chock full of local hop goodness! A big, complex, well-balanced IPA with a bold hop character that isn't overpowering. This beer has an extensive malt bill and multiple hop additions, including local hops from Fresh Roots Organic Growers. Surprisingly easy drinking, the considerable alcohol content takes a back seat to the broad flavor profile. Batch 500 was brewmaster John Niedermaier's first solo commercial recipe, first brewed back in 1999.
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.

One of our flagship brews, you can find this beer at on draft and in 16 oz cans throughout our distribution area.
Gladstone APA - 5.9%
Unfiltered American style Pale Ale, featuring all local hops. While the market is saturated with pale ales, Gladstone's unique character allows the hops to provide a spicy, satisfying palate cleansing finish, while still allowing the underlying malts to provide the foundation. This go-to pale ale also has the distinction of being brewed with 100% locally grown hops. Gladstone pairs with many foods including spicy grill smoked ribs, bratwurst, Thai or even just a simple salad. Named after a small town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Man In Black American Oatmeal Stout - 7.0%
Malty with balanced, chocolate body. Man In Black is a classic American Stout with a malty, balanced, chocolate body. Rich and smooth with mild roast character, “The Man” is a laid back, easy drinker. Our tribute to American music legend Johnny Cash.

William
Claude bourbon barrel aged 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. Then we laid it down in bourbon barrels from
Grand Traverse Distillery until the flavor was just right. “A good cast is
worth repeating”
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 Fresh Root Organics.
