What's On Tap?

As of 8/21/19:

Au NaturAle AmberTM
Welcome to our updated version of amber! Our Mostly Organic Amber was called that because one of its malts wasn't organic. We've gotten some organic malt so our Amber is now called Au NaturAle Amber. It's still smooth, still an excellent amber, and all organic.
Blacker 'N Ale
This is another of Bill's recipes from the vault. He calls it the blackest, roastiest stout ever, with a generous amount of hops for a really intense ale. We also oak-aged the entire batch. Opaque and with a brown head, this beer is not for the faint of heart.
Bohemian Rhapsody Pilsner
Our first pilsner is in the Bohemian/Czech style, featuring rich floor-malted barley malt and spicy noble Saaz hops. Lagers work for a while in the fermenter, so this beer falls clear naturally, with a clean fresh taste.

Brahma Fear India Pale Ale
One of our original recipes from way back when. Brahma Fear is a full-bodied IPA, with citrusy hop flavors and a touch of wheat, along with a grapefruit aroma. 

CelestialeTM
This beer is somewhere between a pale ale and an India pale ale, with a lovely grapefruit nose from dry-hopping in the keg. Celestial indeed. 

Falling Star Extra Special Bitter
A bumped-up beer, which is what makes it extra special. It's also not so very bitter; the "extra special" refers to extra malted grain and hops, as compared to an "ordinary" bitter.

Guinnevere Strong Golden Ale
This is our shot at a classic style - Belgian strong golden ale, also called Belgian golden, golden strong and probably a few others. It's paler than our usual brews, with a deceptive light flavor and a spicy, peppery finish.

Humble Beginnings Porter 
A nearly opaque dark beer, thick and rich and malty. This was the first beer we made in the original brewery, and now we've adjusted it for the bigger brew system.

Kilt Me Softly Scottish Ale
Traditionally Scottish ales limited the use of hops, because hops had to be imported from England. Our Scottish ale is brown and malty with fewer hops, more in that traditional Scottish style.

Skippin' Stones Session IPA
While many of our beers might fall under the "session beer" category, we wanted to try our hand at making a specific session beer. Our SIPA is well-hopped with three varieties but nicely balanced with a full mouthfeel. Just the sort of beer to skip stones and sip.
Snow Queen Mint Chocolate Coffee Stout
Our apprentice brewer Ashley was eager to make a stout, and we had been discussing coffee brews. So we concocted this recipe featuring coffee, mint, and a touch of chocolate for a beer that's been described as tasting "just like a Junior Mint".

Time of the Saison
Saison is an extremely variable style of French and Belgian "farmhouse" beers, so-called because they were meant to be consumed on the farm - a simple country beer brewed out of necessity. Our saison is pale with a fair amount of hops and a funky, spicy finish.


Beers We Make:

Abbey Normal Belgian Stout
This is a beer we'd talked about making and finally did it. Abbey Normal is made with Belgian yeast, which gives it character -a little fruity and spicy, along with a different malt bill than our regular stout.
Alter Ego German Ale
Altbier is a German style brown ale. The “word "alt”" translates to "old" in German. Our version of this ale is on the fruity side, pretty smooth and accessible. While the traditional color ranges from amber to dark brown, ours is more reddish in color, medium in carbonation and more malty.

BeeBop Honey Porter
We decided to brew a "throwback" beer in honor of our 5th anniversary! In the style of a robust porter, this beer is brewed with caramelized local Stone County honey from Big Creek Honey Farm. It's a "smaller" porter than our Humble Beginnings with a toffee note in the finish. BeeBop A Lula!

BelHopTM Belgian IPA
A Belgian-influenced India pale ale. Heavily hopped with a hint of funkiness, this is a hybrid of two distinct beer styles and has a lovely hop nose and finish.

Bindian Brown Ale
What would happen if we doubled the hops in our brown ale, we wondered. No sooner spoken than done! Bindian Brown is smooth, with caramel notes and a distinct hoppiness from both the doubled hops and dry hopping.

Black Magic IPA
This is our collaboration beer made with our friend and fellow homebrewer Jerry, who chose a black IPA style for our combined brew. It turned out rather pale-ale-like, but not pale at all - rather stout-colored, smooth and dark with a roasty note and a hit of hops.

Blacker Shade of AleTM
Roastier than our porter, this stout is more in the "west coast" style. Coffee notes and big body make this a "sipping" kind of beer.
Bourbon Barrel Abbey Normal Belgian Stout
After brewing several batches of Abbey normal, we aged some in bourbon barrels. Abbey Normal is made with Belgian yeast, giving it a fruity, spicy character, and the bourbon barrel rounds out the flavor.
Bourbon Barrel Blacker 'N Ale
We have been acquiring bourbon barrels for our darker beers, and we immediately decided to put out Blacker 'N Ale Stout into one of the barrels. It has a hint of bourbon, along with its intense character, and is really smooth, opaque and roasty...not for the faint of heart! 
Bourbon Barrel Humble Beginnings Porter
A nearly opaque dark beer, thick and rich and malty. This was the first beer we made in the original brewery, adjusted it for our bigger brew system, and aged in bourbon barrels for that oaky, smooth vanilla note.

Brown-Eyed Girl
A medium-bodied brown ale, not overly hoppy. A very accessible and drinkable brew, between our amber and our porter. Currently the brown ale is one of our most popular beers.

Chocolate-Eyed Girl
A medium-bodied brown ale, not overly hoppy, with a touch of chocolate added. Our Girl is still very smooth and drinkable with a chocolate kicker. 

Cleveland Brown Ale with Blackberries
One of our newest beers, our Cleveland Brown is an oatmeal brown, malty and not too heavy on the hops. Smooth and drinkable, it's (obviously) named for the hometown team, and this version is infused with locally grown blackberries for a subtle fruity note.

Coako Chan-Ale Chocolate Brown
Given one of our brewers' love for all things chocolate, it was probably inevitable that we would try a beer made with chocolate. We chose to make this for our "100's" batches of beer... and for Valentine's Day. Don't think sweet; think chocolate flavor, because this beer has three kinds of chocolate. Add in a touch of honey, and you've got a great dessert beer.

Comet Tale Pale Ale
We decided to experiment with another pale ale; this version features New Zealand Wakatu hops, along with a pale gold color and fresh citrus and lime aromas.

"Cur" Blended Ales
The "Cur" beers are blends of our various beers; "one-off" beers that won't be repeated, thus the "cur" designation (so-called by one of our patrons). Each one is different, because the proportions of the beers in the mix vary from keg to keg. You'll just have to stop in and try one.

Eight Misbehavin' Oktoberfest
A new brew for us - and you. Oktoberfest is normally brewed as a lager, but we brewed ours as an ale. Smooth and malty, a little on the sweeter side - a great brew for the crisp fall weather.
Grapefruit Juicyfruit IPA
Because we really like the grapefruit/citrus notes in IPA, and so many of our patrons mention it, we decided to brew a seriously grapefruit IPA. We began with an IPA-style base, using the most citrusy hops we had and added real grapefruit puree, peel, and pulp. This brew has an awesome nose and of course is  as "grapefruity" as it can be!
Helter Spelter Ale
We decided to make a beer using spelt malt, an ancient form of wheat, along with other grains. We also tried two different types of farmhouse-style yeasts and ended with two different beers - no surprise there! Helter Spelter is a golden beer with a fruity taste and a touch of farmhouse funk.

High Striker Strong Ale
Strong ales are medium to full bodied, with a malty sweetness and range in color from light amber to mid-range brown. Ours is rich with caramel notes and complex character - definite bitterness but not too hoppy.

Holiday Hazelnut Brown Ale
We brewed a 2 barrel batch of a brown ale, and we flavored half with the warm spices for our Magic Dust Xmas Ale. The other half we split into two half-barrels, and flavored one half with hazelnut.

Hop DropTM Zythos Single Hop India Pale Ale
Zythos is actually a newer proprietary hop blend, featuring distinct tropical pineapple and citrus tones, with slight pine characteristics…come try it and see what you think.

Hop DropTM Falconers Flight Single Hop India Pale Ale
Boy, that title is a mouthful - and so is this IPA. This is the second in our Hop Drop series, featuring Falconers Flight hop blend. Homebrewer Glen Falconer created this distinct mix of aroma and bittering hops, perfect for a Northwest-style IPA.

Hop Drop Ahtanum Single Hop IPA
This is the third of our Hop Drop series, and this one features Ahtanum (Ah-TAHN-um) hops. Named for the place near where hops were first grown, Ahtanum is known for its citrusy floral aroma and mellow bittering qualities. Come try it out!

Hop Drop 5256 Single Hop India Pale Ale
This is the fourth in our Hop Drop series, using an experimental hop variety. It has a light citrus flavor, and some say it also has piney, minty fruity and strong herbal flavors. Intriguing description...come taste this one.

Hop Drop Falconers Flight 7 C's Single Hop IPA
This is the fifth in our Hop Drop series. 7 C's is a blend of seven "C" hops and additional experimental varieties. This blend has strong fruit and citrus characteristics, with layers of spicy and earthy overtones. Not quite as hop-forward as 5256 but very tasty.

Hop Drop Calypso Single Hop IPA
This is the sixth in our Hop Drop series. Calypso hops are noted for their fruity character, with notes of pear, apple, tropical fruit and even mint! With all that, we knew we had to try it in Hop Drop IPA. Carmen Miranda, here we come!

Hop Drop Sorachi Ace Single Hop IPA
The seventh in our Hop Drop series of IPAs. Sorachi Ace was developed for Sapporo Brewing for their beers. It's described as having a lemon and dill flavor (!). Tina, our local herbalist, says it's "very herbal". Intrigued yet? Come try it out.

Hop Drop Bravo IPA
Bravo is one of the newer hop varieties, described as "pleasantly floral and fruity". This is number 8 in our Hop Drop series. We used Bravo in one of our other beers and decided to try  it in the single hop series. Come try it out!​
Hop Drop Mosaic Single Hop IPA
Number 9 in our Hop Drop series, Mosaic is one of the new darlings of the hop world. It's described as having complex flavors highlighted by pine and fruit. This translates into it being used in many styles of beer, including ours!
Hop Drop Simcoe IPA
Number ten in our single hop series, Simcoe is described as being similar to Cascade but with more citrus and a pine note. This is the hop behind many larger craft brew favorites, and once we opened the packaging we knew it was our next Hop Drop.
Hop Drop El Dorado
Crank it up to eleven! Our eleventh in the Hop Drop series features El Dorado hops. This is one of the new hop varieties, and like many of the new hops it features a fruity aroma and flavor along with a good dose of bitterness.
Hop Drop Summit
Number 12 in our Hop Drop series. We chose Summit hops because of the intriguing description - it's mainly used as a bittering hop, but has earthy aromatic characteristics and subtle hints of citrus. The high bitterness should make all our hopheads happy.
Hop Drop Citra IPA
Unlucky number 13? NOT! We brewed our IPA with this recently introduced aromatic hop variety. Its aroma is described as grapefruit, melon, lime, gooseberry, passion fruit and lychee. Citra also has a medium to medium-high hop bitterness. We're pretty thrilled about this one.
Hop Drop 727
Number 14 in the Hop Drop series. We got some of the experimental hop #07270, which is described by one source as dank and resinous, peppery and pungent. We definitely got the pepper notes! Anyway, this brew promises to be something different from other Hop Drops...come taste for yourself. 
Hop Drop Denali IPA
Number 15 in our Hop Drop Series! Denali is a new hop variety bred from an experimental hop and two older varieties. It has a serious citrus aroma with pineapple and pine notes too. Having seen Denali, we couldn't wait to try these hops in a beer!
Hop Drop Ekuanot
Sweet sixteen in our single hopped IPA series, Ekuanot (say "EK-wa-not") is a newer hop classified as an aroma hop. It has more of that tropical fruity aroma and flavor, but that's not all - it also carries a nice hop bitterness. Can't wait to try this one!
Hop Drop Azacca IPA
Number 17 in our Hop Drop Series. Azacca is a newer hop with big citrus and tropical fruit tones and excellent aromatic qualities. Azacca is named for the Haitian god of agriculture.

Hoppy Together India Red Ale
This version is triple dry-hopped and more red in color than a regular India pale ale. Created just for us hopheads with a huge infusion of hops - because we're hoppy together, bah-bah-bah-bah!

Hopsy Turvy Hazy IPA
This is our shot at a technique called "hop bursting", where high-alpha hops are all added near the end of the boil. This version has several different hops in that short boil. This IPA is made in the New England style, with less caramel malt and dry-hopped for that big hop aroma.

Hot Coco Spiced Brown Ale
After a few samples and trials, we spiced a keg of our fabulous Coco Chan-Ale with cinnamon and two kinds of chiles. It makes for a warm-down-to-your-belly sort of beer.

Irish Upon A Star Oatmeal Stout
Brewed in honor of St. Patrick's Day, this is a thick, rich, malty oatmeal stout made with Irish yeast. and aged on oak chips It has enough oats that you could have it for breakfast. Okay, say the name with us.

It's Xmas Charlie Brown
We brewed a 2 barrel batch of a brown ale, and we flavored half with the warm spices for our Magic Dust Xmas Ale. The other half we left unadorned and gave it a name - It's Xmas Charlie Brown is the basic brown ale, no spices, but a rich brown with a 6% wallop.

Kölsch From the Cold
A light and refreshing German-style brew made with pilsener malt and specialty Kölsch-style yeast. Something of a hybrid, it's an ale fermented at lager temperatures. Thanks to Fredericka for giving us the correct pronunciation!

Lights Out Black IPA
Another collaboration brew! This one was made with homebrewers Kyle and Amy, who chose to brew a black IPA with us. It turned out pretty smooth, dark and hoppy - a winning combination, yes?

Lyle My Guitar Gently Weeps IPA (Lyle# 20)
Our friend and homebrewing partner Marion devised this recipe, which we modified for the brewery. Copper-colored with a smooth mouthfeel, this IPA has been dry-hopped, and primed with Lyle's Golden Syrup. This is the 20th in the Lyle series, and as for the name...guess you had to be there.

Magic Dust Xmas Ale
Originally brewed in a small (for us, anyway) batch, Magic Dust features several "warm" spices and fruit in a brown ale base. We decided to make it in a one-barrel batch this time - after all, Xmas comes but once a year!
Marsupiale
Marsupiale is made from two kinds of Australian malt, Australian hops, and Australian yeast. Guess we needed to go down under and get water, too. Named for the distinctive Down Under wildlife  (and a favorite cartoon character) this is a brown beer with balanced fruity citrus, melon and light apricot tones.

Michelle My Belgian Pale Ale
After the popularity of our Guinnevere, we've worked up a pale ale brewed with lots of two-row malt and fermented with a Belgian ale yeast. It's got a spicy hoppy bite and a dark gold color.

Mostly Organic Amber Ale
An easy-to-drink amber ale, medium hopped, medium bodied beer. The organic grain used in this beer is malted the old-fashioned way - dragging a rake through the grain on the malting floor.

Nightfall India Black Ale
After two homebrewer friends decided to make black IPA as their collaboration brew, we thought it was time to brew up our own version. Dark, of course; a hint of roastiness, yes; hoppy - well, it is an IPA!
Oaked Abbey Normal Belgian Stout
After making several batches of our Belgian stout, we decided to amp it up a bit with the addition of oak chips.  Oaked Abbey Normal has an added layer of vanilla and roundness to the beer's fruity, spicy notes.

Oaked BeeBop Honey Porter
In the style of a robust porter, this beer is brewed with caramelized Local Stone County honey from Big Creek Honey Farm. We aged it with oak chunks to add a touch of vanilla along with its toffee notes. Honey, vanilla, toffee...yum!

Oaked Blacker Shade of Ale
Roastier than our porter, this stout is more in the "west coast" style. Coffee notes and big body make this a "sipping" beer; the vanilla notes from the oak add a tasty nuance to our stout.

Oaked Humble Beginnings Porter
A nearly opaque dark beer, thick and rich and malty. This was the first beer we made in the original brewery, and now we've adjusted it for the bigger brew system. We added oak for that subtle vanilla note.
Oat of Sight Oat of Mind Scottish Ale
We got some oat malt and thought immediately of using it in a Scottish ale. The oat malt is large and is mostly husk, but it made a smooth medium brown brew. In keeping with tradition, this beer is light on hops and heavy on the maltiness. And yes, we've had great fun with saying the name of this beer.
Of Kolsch I Did!
​​​A golden and refreshing German-style brew made with specialty Cologne mslt and kolsch-style yeast. Something of a hybrid, it's an ale fermented at lager temperatures.
​
Razzle Dazzle Porter
Another recipe from the vault! We originally brewed this recipe because we wanted to try out the one barrel fermenters. It's a porter with a hint of chocolate in the malt and a dose of raspberry flavor. Don't think sweet, think tart!
Red Ryeder Ale
We were intrigued by rye! Our rye ale begins with a good malt bill and we added more of the noble type hops to add earthy notes to our spicy red. 
Revenge Ryecycle Red Ale
We made this beer to celebrate the Syllamo's Revenge Bike Challenge, held just up the road from us on the Syllamo Bike Trails. Ryecycle is big-bodied from all the rye, but easy on the hops. Revenge on wimpy beers, indeed.
Rock-A-Billy Imperial Red
Imperial red ale is one of our favorite styles of beer, and one we had been planning on making for a while. We had a "smaller" batch on tap earlier (Rock-A-Bye). It's rich with malt and caramel, offers a big mouthfeel, and bittered with a variety of hops...and checks in at 9%!
Rock-A-Bye Imperial Red
Imperial red ale is one of our favorite styles of beer, and one we had been planning on making for a while. It's rich with malt and caramel, offers a big mouthfeel, and bittered with a variety of hops. This beer clocks in at 8%, which puts it at the low edge of an Imperial.
Sierra Nevada Resilience IPA
Brewed by Lost 40 using the Sierra Nevada recipe, of course this beer is a West Coast style IPA! It's very hop forward with Cascade and Centennial hops. All proceeds from this beer go to the victims of the devastating Camp Fire in California.
Snow Queen Coffee Stout
Our brew apprentice Ashley’s first "co-authored” beer is a stout with a big dose of coffee added to the kegs – two kinds of ground coffee and cracked coffee beans. It’s dark, rich, and may make you do the java jive, whatever that is!
Sour to the People
Our first sour was made in honor of our 5th anniversary. We soured the mash with a variety of souring agents, and  lightly hopped the result. It turned out golden, mostly malty with a definite tang - but not too much!

Spicy Girl
We made our popular Brown-Eyed Girl into a holiday beer with the addition of warm spices - the same Girl dressed for the holidays!

Summertime Brew
Wanting to brew something for the summer months, we developed this lighter recipe, perfect for hot weather. It's a pale session-type ale bittered with noble hops. Ain't no cure for the Summertime Brew!
Wham Bam Hazy IPA
After the success of our IPAs with shorter boil times, we wanted to try one with a five minute hopping. All the hops are continuously added in the last five minutes of boiling. This made a rather aromatic beer with less bitterness. Thank you, ma'am!

You'll Shoot Your Rye Out IPA
Our first rye IPA has a good malt background, with spicy notes from the rye and a big dose of high alpha hops. Maybe not as striking as a leg lamp. but in much better taste.

Zingibeer Amber
We love ginger and decided it was time to add a touch of Zingiber officinale to our Au NaturAle Amber. Thanks to our friend, herbalist Susan Belsinger, for helping us with the naming of this brew.
