What the brewery is working on…

Our master brewer has worked hard to perfect our flagship beers: an India Pale Ale and a Stout so far.  We’ve also got a seasonal Kolsch nailed down and we’re working on a few others.

1.  Prime Vertical IPA – American Style IPA – This APA has  little darker color and maltier backbone than most.  This balances out the intense hop tastes typically found in an IPA.  The beer is dry hopped with Citra, a relatively new hop variety with an intense grapefruit and orange aroma.  It is single infusion mashed at 154 F in order to keep the mouthfeel towards the middle of the road – not too dry and not too sweet.  The key features of this beer are the intense bitter grapefruit-like aroma and flavor that are the hallmarks of the Citra hops, and the caramel malty backbone that gives it greater depth and better balance with the Citra. Our IPA is not shy and comes at your tongue hard with no apologies.

2.  Event Horizon Stout – American Style Stout – Our focus here was to produce a flavorful stout that’s very easy to drink.  There is still a strong roasted barley character there, which tends to lend a coffee/burnt toast aroma and flavor to the beer.  There is also some chocolate malt and crystal malt to add sweetness and body to the beer. The bitterness was brought down so when combined with the acrid roasted flavors you end up with a very easy drinker.
