IBU 35 ABV 5.2%

We brewed this German-style Pilsner from legendary Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops, combining their prized floral, spicy notes with the rich, grainy character of premium Bavarian malt, creating a very balanced, flavorful-yet-drinkable lager.

I named this for my Dad, Howard.
Howard was a foundry man at Pelton Steel, Milwaukee, then moved to Waupaca Foundry. Like all foundry men he was a loyal, hardworking and dedicated man, always putting in a full day’s work to earn that nice cold pilsner. To honor him and all hardworking people, we offer our Foundry Water.

IBU 20 ABV 6.1%

A deeply red Czech-style amber lager (polotmavé pivo) brewed with rye and barley malts, with European noble hops complementing rich spicy character. Bold but smooth; complex but drinkable. Na zdraví!

I named this one for my father-in-law, Harold. Harold was a roofer by trade first at Langer Roofing in Milwaukee until he started his own roofing company, Krebs Roofing Inc. He has always been on top of things and a dedicated, hardworking man who enjoys ending many a long day with a cold red lager. His daughters recall him reciting his roofer’s creed, “Red sky in the morning - roofer’s warning, red sky at night - Roofer’s Delight!” Little did we know that works for sailors too! This HINDER has aromas of caramelized malt and roasted grain with a smooth medium to light body and a slightly hoppy finish.

This Belgian-style saison (farmhouse ale) is fermented with blackberries, with spicy malted rye and the earthy, tropical fruit flavors of Belgian yeast complementing the fruit. Here’s a little guidance on the pronunciation: Mûre Saison de la Fessé (myr say-zone du lah face-ah). What does “de la Fessé” mean? Well, “of the buttock” of course! (We had to get a HINDER reference in there.) French lesson complete! Now put it into practice and go order one!

IBU 48 ABV 76.5%

This is our “crack” at brewing Cold IPA, a beer style combining high-gravity adjunct lager with West-coast IPA. Light, crisp malt character takes a “back seat” to the various fruity and funky flavors of a blend of hops from around the world. Its long-but-clean finish combines snappy hop bitterness with a touch of sweetness, courtesy of its 6.5% ABV.

El Extremo Mexican Lager

Haulin’ Oats pours a radiant deep golden-amber with creamy white head. Its aroma bursts with the vibrant character of Idaho 7 hops—zesty tangerine, resinous pine, and a touch of herbal tea—inviting you into a layered drinking experience. On the palate, these bold hop flavors intertwine seamlessly with lightly toasted malt and the silky-smooth texture of flaked oats. A hint of berry-like sweetness from caramelized oat malt rounds out the flavor profile before finishing with a crisp, earthy snap of refreshing hop bitterness.

Brewed last fall from premium European malt and hops, our blonde Bock (maibock) has been biding its time all winter, getting smoother and cleaner as it rested in the brewery, waiting for the days to get a bit longer before unveiling its rich, grainy malt character, ample body, and light sweetness.

Don’t worry, there aren’t any beads of sweat in here, but our Master Brewer sure put his back into this one. As you enjoy this dark, delicious brew, send a toast to him for the long dark nights that made this one extra delicious.
