Berliner Weisse

We've got a fresh batch of Berliner Weisse dropping this Thursday, April 12! Try it by itself, then compare with a pump of King Of Pops flavored syrup. Win-win!

Berliner Weisse is pale straw colored, cloudy, and effervescent, with a sour aroma that includes a lemony tartness. Light body and high carbonation complement the clean sour flavor with notes of lemon and citrus, and the low alcohol content allows a hint of the malt profile to shine through.

3.2% ABV / 5 IBU

We're releasing two beers this Thursday: Defenestrator & Pink Boots IPA!

* Defenestrator is an annual collaboration brewed with our friends from The Cask Cafe. This ruby brown doppelbock has a malty aroma and mild fruity notes.

Low bitterness and alcohol content complement the soft mouthfeel for an easy-drinking New England-style IPA.

Hazy IPA & IPA 34

We're releasing two new beers this Thursday: IPA #34 and a fresh Hazy IPA!

IPA Batch #34 is a slight departure from our typical rotational IPA series. We sweetened the recipe with lactose and added hops in primary fermentation to haze it up. IPA Batch #34 prominently features Michigan Copper hops, giving this beer a citrus and tangerine flavor with tropical pineapple aromas.
6.8% ABV | 22 IBU
 On draft
 Crowler/growler fills to go

This batch of Hazy IPA was double dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops, giving it a big floral aroma and citrusy tropical fruit flavor. Soft mouthfeel and low bitterness are both hallmarks of this cloudy, smooth-drinking IPA style.
7.8% ABV | 8 IBU
 On draft
 4-packs of 12 oz. bottles to go

Come try one of each to wash down some tasty food from 2nd Alarm Grill and have yourself a delicious Thursday! Cheers! 

Food, Beer & Metal

Our pal Dave Witte caught up with Decibel Magazine last week to chat about his life, which includes playing drums for Municipal Waste and a bunch of other metal bands, running the Go Go Vegan Go food truck, and helping out right here at Ardent. Check it out!
