Ardent Pilsner
Bronze medal winner: 2018 Great American Beer Festival
Ardent Pilsner is a golden straw, clear pilsner with classic lager aroma that is clean and bready, with light grassiness from 100% Hallertauer mittelfrüh noble hops. Medium body and high carbonation accentuate the soft bitterness, malty sweetness and mild fruitiness. Ardent Pilsner is a crisp, refreshing German-style pils that finishes dry and clean with a creamy, long-lasting head that leaves rich lacing. #neverstoplagering
dark rye
Dark Rye is an American imperial stout, deep black with a long-lasting tan head. A rye spiciness balanced by roasted notes comes forward in both aroma and flavor. Dark Rye is full-bodied with a dry chocolaty finish.
pithy in pink
Pithy in Pink is a white IPA brewed with grapefruit and coriander. Dry hopped primarily with Loral, and rounded out with a blend of Glacier, Mosaic, Simcoe and Sabro, Pithy in Pink has a big citrus aroma and earthy, herbal flavor. Grapefruit and coriander flavors complement the light body and low ABV in this sessionable, anytime IPA.
