Careless Whitsper, our Blood Orange Fruited Witbier, is our nod to big hair, padded shoulders and yes, WHAM! This wheat beer is a light and refreshing taste of nostalgia and perfect for our warm summer days and nights!

Appearance: Golden hued, somewhat cloudy due to yeast in suspension. Light frothy head.

Aroma: Big bright fruit that is yeast derived. Soft blood orange on the finish.

Taste: Crisp and bready with a slightly fruit tartness. Blood orange comes through on the back end.

A Californiaesque English Pale offers a classic English malt body serving to deliver a bright floral hop character derived from English challenger and Oregon cascade. Bask in some Oakland nostalgia and enjoy a Day on the Green.

Hops: UK Challenger, Magnum

Malt Bill: Crisp Marris Otter, Simpsons Crystal Light

Aroma features strong and rich nutty characteristics with more subtle hints of chocolate and roasted malt, finishing with a caramel sweetness. A complementary blend of chocolate and roast malt flavors hit immediately on the front palate, transitioning into a smooth caramel finish that ends relatively sweet but drier than many stouts. Full mouthfeel though slightly less dense than many American porters.

Hops: Challenger, Magnum

Malt Bill: Dingemans Chocolate, Dark Crystal, Pale Chocolate, Flaked Barley, Coffee Malt, Crystal Light, Rahr Standard 2 Row

Welcome to High West Hooligan! This is the first offering of out of our new barrel aged series. Proper Hooligan spent four months in High West bourbon barrels and picked up some nice characteristics from spontaneous fermentation. It is mildly tart with light bourbon oak notes and a balanced sweetness on the finish. Our baby Flanders red!

Hops: English Challenger

Malt Bill: English Halcyon, Pale Chocolate, Pale Crystal, Dark Crystal

The light fruit aromas are accentuated with lemon zest and mild pine. The light malt body, with some residual sweetness, is the perfect canvas for hop expression. The hops provide slight upfront bitterness that opens up into classic Cascade and Chinook fruit zest and pine. The beer finishes with a bit more of an earthy/stonefruit dankness that is attributed to the Comet hops.

Hops: Comet, Chinook, Cascade

Malt  Bill: Extra Pale Pils, Pale Wheat, Crystal Light

Brewed in collaboration with Arne Johnson of Marin Brewing Co., this is what happens when a couple of old school brewers get drunk in Denver and plan a collaboration.  After tasting a few dozen beers at the Great American Beer Festival, what started out being a classic German Weizenbock became a Banana Split inspired brew.
First off, we agreed that beer is our favorite dessert, and neither of us like sweet beer much.  So it ain’t sweet, it tastes like beer, and the flavor additions are subtle!  German Weizen Yeast gives us banana esters.  Chocolate wheat malt and TCHO cacao nibs give us chocolate flavors.  Add a little caramel malt, vanilla extract and cherry juice and whaddaya got?  #nofilterbananasplitbock#oldgermanbrewersrollingoverintheirgraves #reinheinsgawhat?
