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.

creation from Brewmaster John Niedermaier.

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.

Rich porter brewed with chocolate malt, dutch chocolate and ancho chilies. There's a special magic that happens between chilies and chocolate that was first utilized in ancient Latin America and still weaves its spell today. Ancho Chili Dutch Double Chocolate Porter showcases the perfect balance of chili flavor and warmth combined with dark chocolate. This is not a hot pepper beer – The warmth from the chilies builds slowly, enhancing the character of the beer without becoming dominant.
