Little Bear Brown Beer – 5.9% ABV 50 IBU – Malt focused American Brown. Mellow dark malt character and a balanced hop/malt flavor. The Citra hops in the finish help to distinguish this as an American Brown, with the citrus aroma we love.
Chocolate Raspberry Stout – 5.5% ABV, 26 IBU – American Stout brewed with copious amounts of raspberry. Starts with a tart raspberry punch, which eludes to rich dark chocolate and robust roasted flavors.
Tom’s Witbier – 5.9% ABV, 22 IBU – A high concentration of wheat gives this wit a straw colored haze and the addition of oats lends to its smooth feel. This brew packs a fresh punch of coriander and is rounded out with just a touch of orange. Finally this take on a Belgian gets a Vermont twist with a higher than average alcohol content. Cheers!
Salute your Schwarz – 4.9% ABV, 22 IBU – 2015 MTC winner. A German style black lager with an aroma and flavor of dark chocolate, roasted malts, and light smoke. Just enough hop character to balance out the sweetness of the malt. Slightly thin body and clean finish makes this delicious lager a clear winner.
