Brew List Past & Present
Emily’s Ale-Strawberry Blonde 5.7% ABV, 20 IBU
Named after Dave’s wife Emily (yes, she is a strawberry blonde), this is a perfect refreshing beer to have on a summer day. It has a strong aroma of strawberries on the nose. Take a sip and you will taste the blend of the blonde base beer with the strawberries. The nice thing about this beer is you smell and taste the strawberries, and the finish is smooth with little sweetness.

This IPA has a tropical and fruity aroma. The flavor has many citrus qualities, including notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple and orange. It finishes with a smooth, almost creamy feel with a small amount of bitterness. This beer has a complex hop profile, including Cascade, Waimea, Citra, Mosaic and El Dorado.
Dark Poets Society- Schwarzbier 5.3% ABV, 30 IBU
This is a dark German lager that has a malt-forward roasted flavor and light sweetness that comes from the abundance of munich malt. It has a clean, crisp finish with a hint of bitterness on the end.
Umlauts not Optional-Kölsch 4.8% ABV, 26 IBU
This is our Kölsch. Early on in German class, you learn that umlauts (the two dots above certain letters) are not optional. This is a beer that new craft beer drinkers and seasoned drinkers can enjoy. It is a light, easy-drinking classic German beer.
Catcher in the Rye PA-Rye IPA 6.6% ABV, 65 IBU
A copper-colored, hop-forward IPA, with an excellent dry mouth feel and a hint of rye spice to finish.

It is also dry-hopped with Mosaic a couple days before kegging to give it some more pop. Mosaic gives it a tropical and slight berry flavor and aroma. The hops come through on every part of the beer from the aroma, flavor, and bitterness.

This beer features a brand new thiol-boosting yeast strain from Chicago-based Omega Yeastthat accentuates the hops’ fruit flavors and aromas, including guava, orange, and grapefruit.

This traditional Belgian beer is a complex blend of aromas and flavors that are produced by this unique yeast strain. There is some sweetness that comes from the pale malt and the high alcohol.
