Alice Unfettered IPA - 6.5%

Herbal, fruity, and perhaps a little pointy, Alice Unfettered is the result of letting hops run free. A wonderful floral nose precedes pine and citrus flavors and a bracing hop bitterness, all of which is wrapped up in a complex malt bill that both cushions and enhances the hops. This multifaceted IPA has amazing depth and complexity owing to numerous hop additions including local, organically grown whole cone hops from New Mission Organics in Omena. Plenty of depth, flavor and bitterness combined with an easy to manage ABV means Alice will appeal to hop lovers of all varieties.

Ancho Chili Dutch Double Chocolate Porter - 5.3%

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. Far from being a novelty beer, the richness of chocolate malts and Dutch cocoa combined with the deep, smoky flavor imparted by whole Ancho chilies while the beer is conditioning will keep you coming back for more.

Barrel-aged Maple Cherry Potion #75 - 7.6%

Barrel aged, locally sourced Michigan deliciousness! Local cherries, maple syrup, hops and wheat blended together in a copper-colored ale, then aged in bourbon barrels from Traverse City Whiskey Co.

Batch 500 was brewmaster John Niedermaier's first solo commercial recipe, first brewed back in 1999.


Beaujolais IPA - 6.0%

Fruity, hoppy citrus derived from lots of hop varieties. Big nose and a light, bitter finish.

The Beaujolais coast in France is home to limestone escarpments and fertile soil that is the basis of a world-famous red wine industry. The well-known Beajolais Nouveau is released quickly after a very brief fermentation resulting in a young, simple wine that is refreshing, easy to drink, and celebrates the start of the harvest season. Brewery Terra Firma's Beuajolais IPA is a nod to our own flourishing local wine industry, and while we won't be harvesting wine grapes off the vine here on the farm, we will be harvesting hops off the bine. Santé!


Black Bikini Coconut Porter - 5.0%

Coconut aroma and flavor infuse this light bodied porter. Brewed with fresh, whole coconut (no extracts here, thank you very much) and balanced against a carefully selected blend of chocolate malts and hops to offset the sweetness.

Black Orchid Vanilla Bean Porter - 6.4%

Rich and decadent chocolate porter laid down over Madagascar vanilla beans. A variety of spices and malts form the base of this sumptuous porter. Accenting the rich body of the brew is the fruit of the vanilla planifolia vine, the vanilla bean. Whole vanilla beans are used, not extracts or flavorings, and the flavor is allowed to infuse the beer naturally over a long period of time. The result is a smooth vanilla flavor and slight aroma, the perfect counterpoint to the chocolate notes.

Blackberries In Space! - 4.6%

Open Space Session IPA infused with whole, fresh Blackberries! Open Space Session IPA run through and infuser of fresh, juicy blackberries. These berries have a tart, almost citrus-like flavor profile that makes them perfect for complimenting and enhancing the hop flavors present in Open Space.

Brown Donkey Smasher - 9.0%

Big, strong and brown with a kick of hops in the finish. This double brown ale has a HUGE malt and hop bill resulting in a big, balanced, ale that's surprisingly smooth and clean. A note of caution - There's no bite or burn from the significant alcohol content, so this donkey has been known to sneak up on people all ninja-like and cause trouble.


Bruno The Questionable - 8.5%

Double Brown Ale conditioned in TC Whiskey Company bourbon barrels. This assertive American style double brown ale is deep mahogany in color and is a firm, clean, complex representation of the style with malt, caramel and nutty notes.

Cherry Festive Ale - 7.5%

Aged in T.C. Whiskey Co. barrels! Cherry Festive Ale is a beautiful malt and fruit ballet featuring local cherries from King Orchards in Kewadin. This beer was designed specifically to mingle with the fruit and not be overwhelmed by it, weaving a flavor profile that allows both the malt and cherries to have their day in the sun. Then we thought we'd go a couple of steps further and lay it down on Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans and age it in Traverse City Whiskey Co. Bourbon Barrels. The end result is a warm, comforting and complex barrel aged brew worthy of our local city wide party we call The National Cherry Festival. Enjoy!


Cherry Queen Barrel-Aged Cherry Ale - 5.8%

A complex malt and hop bill provide depth and complexity without too much heaviness. A great year round stout!


Copper Grasshopper ESB - 5.0%

Wonderful balance of malt and hops in this American-style extra special bitter. Makes for smiling taste buds. Copper Grasshopper was conceived while John was relaxing during a stay at the Inn at Black Star Farms. Our hero had retired to one of the many scenic, secluded spots at Black Star and was pondering new flavor profiles. As he sat, a dusty, copper-colored grasshopper landed on John's knee and settled in for a rather lengthy stay. The color of the critter set John to thinking of a nice, copper-hued beer, and of course it would have to be hoppy. Voila. Inspiration comes from everywhere.

True to the Extra Special Bitter style, Ethel The Frog is brewed using rich, flavorful malts that provide a substantial, smooth bodied beer. Ethel then veers to the left just a bit and deviates from the style slightly by using non-traditional hop varieties. The use of these hops provides the beer with more up-front hop aroma and flavor, as well as subtly enhanced bitterness in the finish. Named after a somewhat obscure Monty Python skit.

Four Leaf Stout - 4.3%

Theodore Belgian Tripple - 9.0%

With help from Mug Club Members we harvest the East Field and sent to GT Culinary Oils on Cass where it was cleaned and dried. After the barley goes dormant its time for malting. Our friends over at Great Lakes Malting Co. over on Cass helped us out with this. After a couple weeks a drew date is set and history was made!
