Anticipated Beer Lineup

Gnomad - Belgian

This beer is a pale golden ale which is high in carbonation and relatively dry in finish. It features a complex malt presence due to the use of several varieties of barley as well as oats and sugar. A special blend of yeast strains provides a mix of earthy, spicy and fruit aromas and flavors. Amarillo hops are used to balance out the beer and provide a nice citrus finish. This beer is refreshing, complex and well-balanced.

Munich Mild


The Munich Mild features a strong malt presence courtesy of a Munich Malt base. It is deep brown, toasty, bready and extremely malty. Malts from England and Germany combine with English hops and yeast to form a unique hybrid style. This is a low-alcohol session beer perfect for a fall afternoon.

Uncle Bob Bitter


The bitter is floral and smooth on the palette with a toasty malt to balance it out. The bitter uses floor malted English barley and a variety of British hops. Inspired by the rich, flavorful ales of British pubs this beer maintains a perfect balance of flavor and drinkability. It is below 5% ABV and lightly carbonated.

Funk (need a name)


This beer is definitely earthy and funky. It utilizes several strains of yeast, including brettanomyces. This tart beer finishes dry and effervescent with earthy hop tones. Over time this beer will change and the character of the wild yeast will begin to add more complex and funky flavors. We will allow nature to take its course with this beer and it may take longer to ferment, end up more or less sour depending on season, or be barrel aged. This will be our most adventurous and wild brew.

We don’t really have a name for this one – Originally we called it Hoptimus Pryme, but we know we can’t get the rights to that. So we will have to update you when we have a name.


Our hoppiest beer features an aromatic nose followed by a spicy finish courtesy of rye malt. This rye pale ale uses hops throughout the brewing process for a great balance of bitterness, flavor and aroma. A complex malt base helps to support the hop character and provide balance. This beer is dangerously drinkable!



Overall, I believe these beers should finish fairly dry with little residual sugar. I’m also very interested in preserving the malt flavor, which I think gets lost in a lot of beers, especially IPAs. The balance between all ingredients is really what it’s all about.
