On Tap
Headcase Heifer Farmhaus Ale
Headcase /hed ˌkās/ informal - a person who is very irrational or is out of touch with reality.
Heifer /ˈhefər/ a young female cow that has not borne a calf.
A light-bodied ale with slightly sweet, bready malt character. The Saaz hops present a soft, rounded, spicy and floral quality that balances well with the malt. 5.1% ABV and 21 IBU, and straw in color.
This beer was motivated by New Glarus Brewing Compay's Spotted Cow, but isn't meant to be a clone. Headcase is slightly dry, a touch bready, and carries a slight haze from the wheat used. Rather light as flavor goes, this is easy on the palate.
Benny's Bier
AKA Unhinged Kolsch
Unhinged /ənˈhinjd/ adjective; 1) highly disturbed, unstable, or distraught 2) mentally unbalanced; deranged
A light to mid- bodied beer with a subtle fruitiness and a slightly dry finish. The malt profile is slightly biscuity, while the Hallertau Blanc hops contribute floral and subtle fruity notes providing the customary balance between hops and malt of the style. As is typical of Kolsch, this is a crisp, easy to drink beer at 5.4% ABV and 21 IBU with a pale straw color.
Gonzo a classic Irish Stout
Gonzo / gŏn′zō ˈ/ adjective; crazy, excited, or unrestrained; extreme, unconventional, or bizarre; using an exaggerated, highly subjective style, as in journalism
A delightfully dry brew with notes of coffee, chocolate, and caramel, Gonzo finishes with that characteristic touch of dry-roasted astringency. The beer is black with a tan head. For all of its complexity of flavor, this is an easy drinking beer at 4.5% ABV and 32 IBU.
Doolally Munich helles style lager
Doolally /duːˈlælɪ/ adjective informal - slang out of one's mind; crazy
A moderately bodied helles (light) lager with a slight malt aroma and lightly sweet malt flavor, Doololly begins to dry out late on the palate. The hops are moderate with a lightly warm, herbal note from the Saaz. 4.99% ABV, 18 IBU, and a deep golden color. This beer is easy to drink all day, any and every day with enough flavor to notice yet light enough to be refreshing.
While very enjoyable very cold, Doololly has a fuller flavor when enjoyed around 55° F.
Mad Hatter Sweet Stout
Mad as a Hatter /mæd az ā ˈha-tər / idiom; informal & old fashioned - English Severely mentally ill. This expression, dating from the early 1800s, alludes to exposure to the chemicals formerly used in making felt hats, which caused tremors and other nervous symptoms.
Beautifully black in color with a dark thick head, this stout has muted chocolate and coffee notes that resonate from the black patent and chocolate malt. Due to the addition of milk sugar during boil, this stout has additional body and a sweetness that is noticeable yet slight, not overwhelming. It finishes smooth and creamy! Mad Hatter is best enjoyed at room temperature, 62 - 75° F. 4.1% ABV and 33 IBU.
