Exhibit C is a nod to our one hundredth brew. We used roughly 3 times the malt of our Presumed Innocent IPA, and dry hopped the beer to add as much aroma as we could squeeze out of the Centennial hops. The result is exquisitely rich, but more balanced and much less bitter than most will expect. 

Barrel Aged witness protection

October 2017 – Limited release
7.0% ABV  |  25 IBU
What do you do with your most important person in Witness Protection?  You keep them in hiding, of course.  We’ve stored a nice supply of ours in bourbon barrels from Heaven Hill and Elijah Craig for four months before release. The bourbon nose is prominent but not overpowering, complementing the coffee and vanilla notes.  The mouthfeel is soft and rounded, with toasted, earthy flavors and an easy finish. Still, we can’t say who it really is.

Barley Legal

9.6% ABV  |  40 IBU
Chocolate and crystal malts give a rich flavor of coffee and dark chocolate to this barley wine. The mouthfeel is smooth and the finish renders a tiny hint of smoke and a mild bitterness from the roast.

witness protection

7.7% ABV  |  25 IBU
Not quite stout, not really porter, certainly not another brown ale. What to call it? Maybe it’s best we put it in Witness Protection for its own good. Smooth mouthfeel and dark roasted malts add to a nose of mocha. The finish is mild, with just a hint of sweetness. All good, but with Witness Protection, there’s so much more to the story.

Our house-made Moot Beer with a lil somethin' special.

A classic Roggenbier with a hazy body and a light orange hue. Subtly sweet notes on the nose, with a delightful tanginess and soft, round mouthfeel. Prosit!!

There’s no disputing this traditional Schwarzbier. With a dark body and creamy brown head, it delivers surprisingly light and smooth drinkability in every glass. It’s the answer you’re looking for! Seasonal Released January 2018.

Lawful Good

October 2017 – Limited release for NTXBW
7.65% ABV  |  75 IBU
Lawful Good shows a hazy golden amber body. On the nose, grapefruit and stone fruit dominate, with subtle presence of grass and earth. There’s a rounded mouthfeel, with good malt structure behind a hop bite that yields quickly to citrus and herbal notes. The finish is clean and without tannins.

Strawberry WHeatness

September 2017 – Craft Beer of the State Fair
5.0% ABV
Strawberry Wheatness is a wheat ale made with strawberry puree. The nose is bright and intense strawberry, while the fruit flavor is more muted in the mouth. The bready taste from the wheat malt and a touch of vanilla make the whole experience similar to having a waffle with strawberry and cream on top.

A traditional Belgian Tripel Ale, with low hop aroma and medium bitterness. Made from Belgian Pilsner malt and Columbus and Cascade hops, it has a low malt sweetness and round mouthfeel. Aromas range from mild spice to orange and banana.
