Alaskan White Ale has a soft, sweet base with the unique aroma of coriander and the crisp finish of orange peel. A light and effervescent body combined with the smooth palate creates a complex and delicate beer that is deliciously refreshing in any season.

Based on the traditional style of Kölsch beer brewed in Cologne, Germany, Alaskan Summer Ale balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of Hallertauer hops. In the tradition of the style, neither overpowers the other. Both hops and malt come together to refresh and renew the palate.

Golden in color with delicate aromas of malt and hops. Subtle fruity and citrus taste notes with a fast clean finish.

Tartanic Scottish Ale Oatmeal Stout
Brewed with orange, lemon and lime peels, the spice of coriander, two-row and wheat malts, as well as a blend of domestic Cascade and Willamette hops and imported Hallertau hops, this light golden-colored, Belgian style wheat beer is memorably aromatic and has a smooth complex taste.

The typical Bavarian spring-opener with lots of body and more. The color is golden brown and if you like malt flavor, this is it. Bayern Maibock is very malty and very easy to drink. This beer is brewed with two-row Harrington and Munich malt and has a moderate amount of Hallertauer and Saaz hops.

An unfiltered, unpasteurized light lager bock beer brewed as a traditional old-fashioned German Decoction beer. This beer is incredibly light in color, yet has the full body of a hearty bock beer and is balanced with three “hoppings” of Germany’s finest Hallertauer Perle and the rare Tettnang Aroma hops. We had a new yeast strain exclusively designed for us in Germany and are using Custom Pilsner and Spilz malt.

It’s a full-flavored, refreshing summer seasonal. This well-balanced brew has a unique blend of spices, which complement the European hops. The honey lightens up the body and helps to blend taste with aroma without making the beer too sweet.

Cowboy Coffee is a smooth, black porter that has cold infused coffee added to it. The coffee is our very own Trout Slayer and Caffe Moose Drool. Coffee flavor is evident in this beer but does not overpower the smooth, roasty flavors of the porter.
6.2%
An unfiltered pale ale with huge grapefruit notes, a hint of caramel malts and a good bittering balance. Our Single Hop Ale is brewed and dry hopped exclusively using only CTZ hops. Medium bodied brew with a balanced bitterness to set the foundation for the CTZ hop aromas. The piney, citrusy and sweet grapefruit bouquet comes through, then lingers in a long, yet dry, hop finish.

Our summer wheat ale is infused with just the right amounts of Fireweed honey and huckleberry to perfectly balance this summertime treat. Light honey and huckleberry aromas mix with the wheaty malt backbone to entice and set the stage for the thirst quenching flavors that follow.

Just like single malt scotch, our IPA is brewed from 100 percent Crisp Maris Otter floormalted (made by hand!) barley—no specialty malts, no blending. This ale is an American variation of the classic India Pale Ale style. Single Malt IPA is heavily hopped with both Simcoe and Cascade hops grown in the Pacific Northwest. Golden in color, refreshing to drink and full of hops, this is our best-selling and most-beloved beer.

This traditional Scottish-style strong ale is dark copper in color, very full-bodied, smooth and sweet. The finest Scottish grown barley and English Kent Goldings hops are used to create this Scottish classic. Tartanic Ale will surely warm your cockles with every sip. Scottish Ales originated in Scotland and are generally clean and malty with perhaps a faint touch of smoke and few fruity esters.
7.8%
A smooth stout that lives up to its name.

This IPA uses a large amount of a new hop called Citra, which lives up to its name and delivers a strong citrus aroma.

Black Star is a double-hopped golden lager based on traditional European Pilsnerstyle beers. It is brewed with both Bavarian Mittelfrüh and Czech Saaz hops and two-row malting barley. By hopping it in the kettle, and then again before finishing, Black Star opens with a distinctive hop aroma and a rich, full bodied flavor, yet closes remarkably crisp, light and refreshing.
