Our approach to brewing:
An eclectic mix of New and Old World styles using mostly European malts and, whenever possible, aggressive amounts of American Hops. Our brewer first learned the British and German styles before making his way through several Michigan craft breweries to learn the trade from the best in his area. We seek to offer a range of strong, session, hoppy, mild, and local-sourced options that will provide something for every thirsty pilgrim that graces our floors, and inspire craft beer fans to keep coming back for more deliciously fresh frothy fare.

5 o'clock Whistle: Vienna IPA
By pairing lightly roasted Vienna malt with pale British base malt, we created a piquant and almost winey backdrop for one of our hoppiest beers on the menu. The Vienna malt leaves it a bit closer to the amber spectrum than many American IPAs.
ABV: 6.2% IBU-53
Alphonse: Session IPA
Standing out from our other dry hopped beers, Alphonse has less bitterness and a much lighter body, giving it a crisp mouthfeel. The proprietary Falconers Flight hop blend lends pleasant white grape, berry and citrus notes that fade into a gently bitter and quite refreshing finish.
ABV:5.5% IBU-35

Bellows Shaker: Oktoberfest
This is a traditional German Marzen style ale made with German Hallertauer hops. Copper in color with sweet malty flavors, Bellows Shaker is fall in a glass.
ABV: 5.3% IBU-21
Cherry Gluten For Punishment
We added Montmorency cherries to our German style wheat ale. The cherries add a bold red color and a subtle sweet/tart cherry flavor.
Traditionally, this German style of wheat beer was the only kind of beer brewers were allowed to brew in Bavaria during the summer, prior to refrigeration, as the special yeast used is more heat tolerant. With almost half of the grain in the recipe being malted wheat, there is an unmistakable bread-y flavor that is complimented perfectly by the tart and fruity notes that linger together.
ABV:5.5% IBU-15
Collin's Full Size: Imperial IPA
A full frontal assault of citra hop aroma, this beer is a true homage to big IPA lovers past and present. So hoppy it may make other IPAs taste like water. Consider yourself warned.
ABV: 10% IBU-55
Dune Rail: American Blonde
As a style, American Blonde Ales are less bitter than the typical American Pale Ale. This refreshing beer, with restrained hop aroma, lets the fine German malts take the stage for a round.
ABV:4% IBU-11

Fleming's Field: Apple Cider
Made with a mix of local apples from J & H Fleming Farm in Shelby, this cider is the perfect balance between sweet and tart. A hint of green apple in the nose followed by sweet flavors in the body and a slightly dry finish.
ABV: 6% Gluten Free
Screeching Sands: Agave Amber
Made as a loving tribute to the famous cactus, this strong hoppy amber ale blends German malts, blue agave syrup, and American hops.
ABV: 8.2% IBU-35

Star Hill: Dry Stout
A tribute to the classic Irish stout, this low gravity beer strikes a balance between roasty malt and refined hop character that pleases to the last drop. Dark roasty flavours are dominant but are more chocolatey than bitter.
ABV: 4.2% IBU-30

War Bride-English Brown Ale
This English Brown Ale has light toffee and toasted bread notes accentuated by a light dash of hops come together for this refreshing all-British malt beer.
ABV:3.8% IBU-26
Workingman's: Helles Alt
Before the widespread popularity of bottom-fermenting lager beers, most German-brewed beers were what we would now call ales. Acknowledging this history, the style called “Alt” which is German for “old” exists as a throwback to older brewing methods. Our take on the style is more golden-pale than most modern German amber versions.
ABV:5% IBU-21
