Beer

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.

IBU 10 ABV 4.8%
Very pale, very drinkable craft take on American light lager features subtle malt flavor, a hint of fruit, and a crisp, refreshing finish.

IBU 33 ABV 7.3%
A special new yeast strain unlocks all the potential flavor of a BUTT-load of American hops, creating massive aromas of pine, tropical fruit, and citrus peel which are complemented by toasted wheat and oats, with hop bitterness reduced through “hop bursting” for a very mild, lightly sweet finish.

IBU 14 ABV 5.0%
This vibrant sour blonde ale derives its rosy hue from a generous infusion of cranberries, while dried orange peel adds depth to their fruity character. With an inviting nose of fruit, acid, and wheat, it balances grainy malt complexity with a pleasantly tart finish.

IBU 25 ABV 7.6%

We infused dark roasted peanuts into this Baltic porter, weaving together complex layers of nuttiness, chocolate, and toasted malt, which lead to a smooth, subtly smoky finish.

El Extremo Mexican Lager

IBU 17 ABV 5.1 %

A malty, golden, Mexican-style lager brewed with Agave nectar and dry-hopped with lime-like "Wakatu" hops from New Zealand; perfect for summer quaffing.

ABV 9.0 • IBU 20

For our 6th anniversary, we bring you the latest in our 'From the Bunghole' series of barrel-aged beers: a 9% ABV 'imperial' version of Roofer's Delight rye lager. After a twenty-month maturation in Willett Rye Whiskey barrels, it emerged simultaneously smooth and intense, with bold, spicy rye malt meeting deep notes of oak and hints of plums and molasses from the barrels. 

IBU 55 ABV 9.8%
We infused this big, bold bold stout with freshly roasted cold-brew coffee from Waupaca’s own Java Jive Coffee Company. Park your Keister and enjoy!

IBU 21 ABV 4.7%
This smooth, slightly sweet amber ale balances malty flavors of caramel and baking bread with crisp Wisconsin-grown hops. Raise a pint to the heroic Tuskegee airmen who fought for the freedom to grab our HINDERS!
