Each fall, our brewhouse looks more like a greenhouse as fresh wet hop cones arrive within hours of being picked by some of our favorite local hop growers. Acting quickly, we then load up these wet hops into what will become Harvest Ale – an impossibly aromatic and bright IPA bursting with fresh pine, melon and citrus notes. Our ode to the beauty that is the wet, American hop.

This isn’t your average fruit beer. Barrel-Aged Blueberry Braggot is a delightful marriage of honey, malt and blueberries. This classic, centuries old style is ramped up by spending time in bourbon barrels with a hefty dose of Michigan blueberries to really set things off!

A Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, what will they think of next? Our decadent Imperial Stout, with all its warm and roasted malt characteristics you love, was brewed with coffee and vanilla before going into a blend of cognac and bourbon barrels.

Like a peanut butter cup in a glass! Aged in bourbon barrels for two-years, Barrel-Aged Peanut Butter Stout’s chocolate malts, roasted barley and Golden Naked oats mingle with Nugget and Perle hops as semi-sweet chocolate and hints of roasted peanut team up to create a smooth, yet not overly sweet, drinking experience.

A festive take on Blushing Padre, this raspberry Belgian ale was aged in tequila barrels before being hit with enough cranberries and orange zest to make any mouth feel merry this holiday season.

A delightful marriage of honey and malt – this centuries old style finally makes its way into our lineup with a hefty dose of 100% Michigan blueberries to really set things off!  We don’t mean to braggot all but this is one beer you won’t soon forget.

This is usually the point where we’d hit you with a ‘haze’ pun but we thought we’d keep it fairly straightforward- just like our Hazy IPA. A bold array of hops lends juicy citrus and tropical notes to every sip while 2-row malt, oats and wheat combine to create a creamy mouthfeel with reduced bitterness. As far as hazy puns go, we’ll leave that up to you – we’ll stay focused on the beer.

The beer that pushed the coffee beer envelope returns with a twist. The sweet and nutty coffee notes of Frangelic Mountain Brown soar after they’re introduced to bourbon barrels that previously housed maple syrup – adding complexity to an already sophisticated brown ale. Maple Barrel-Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown will once again change the way you view coffee beers.

We took a crisp, light-bodied cherry ale and hid it away in oak barrels that have held both bourbon and maple syrup. After a lengthy stint, it emerged a changed beer, blanketed in notes of warm vanilla and earthy sweetness. The wood proves itself the star of this beer, adding depth and taming the tart cherry while the maple imposes a velvety texture that lingers for not a moment too long.

Exotically tart and tropically sweet, Passion Fruit Gose is a unique and revitalizing expression of what a fruit beer can be. Passion fruit cuts through the tang of the gose style while delivering notes of guava, mango, and other citrusy flavors; the addition of sea salt rounds out this lightly-hopped summer treat. It’s true what they say: a little passion fruit gose long way.

We introduced our Belgian-style raspberry ale to a tequila barrel and wound up with what can only be described as an international love affair. Tart and luscious raspberry jam character is balanced beautifully thanks to time spent aging in tequila barrels. Now who’s blushing?

Initially developed for our Detroit taproom, Detroit Double IPA raises the bar to what beer fans expect from this beloved hoppy style. Crystal and Magnum hops lend a mild bitterness while a citrusy sweet passionfruit aroma comes courtesy of the Mosaic and Simcoe hops. Those dank hop oils shine on top of a delicate malt backbone. Detroit Double IPA drinks smooth, crisp and satisfying.

When you dance with the devil, the devil don’t change. You do. Massive in complexity, the huge malt character balances the insane amount of alphas used to create it.

Backwoods Bastard gets the 4-star breakfast treatment. Our malty and rich bourbon barrel-aged Scotch ale is introduced to smooth maple syrup, warm cinnamon and sweet vanilla for an incredibly decadent brunch-inspired sipper. One taste and you’d swear you were digging into your Sunday morning French toast. Breakfast for dinner, anyone?

Blink and you’ll think you’re in Bavaria. We went all in on tradition with our Oktoberfest, using imported German malts and hops with a beautiful lager yeast for the finish. Pours a gorgeous copper hue with a rich, malty and slightly sweet backbone. Our version is akin to the beer poured in the early days of Oktoberfest and, yes, it adheres to the Reinheitsgebot. Prost!

Serious hop bitterness, along with an unyielding grapefruit bouquet from the Amarillo dry hop, balances the malty richness of four varieties of imported Belgian caramel malts. Pours a spectacular crimson with a creamy tan head. A generous addition of rye malt accentuates a spicy, crisp finish. And don’t forget, Red’s Rye IPA is also available year-round on draft!

Your eyes will tell you one thing, but your palate will tell you another. Light in color but full in flavor, this golden ale features notes of gently roasted, fruit-forward coffee. Pale Joe features a special blend of high-end Ethiopian coffee expertly roasted by our hometown neighbors at Ferris Coffee and Nut. It’s the lovechild of your favorite iced coffee and, well, beer.

Brewed in the spirit of juicy IPAs, Mucho Lupu features four kinds of American hops: Mosaic, Azacca, Simcoe and Amarillo. Dry hopped with traditional hop pellets along with cryo powder, an innovative hop product that separates lupulin from the hop flower, this IPA is incredibly flavorful and aromatic. Wheat and oats provide a smooth backdrop to carry all those wonderful hop characteristics.

There are a few things that are quintessentially ‘Michigan’ and many would argue that cherries top that list. We brewed Cerise as a celebration of our home state’s official fruit, showcasing what Northern Michigan does best. Ruby red in color and brewed with 100% tart, Michigan cherries, Cerise is as close you’ll get to tasting the real thing without picking it off the tree.

It’s hard to imagine our Imperial Stout getting any more complex than it already is. Well, until you introduce it to a bourbon barrel. We did just that and out emerged a gorgeous sipper featuring all the warm and roasted characteristics you love in a thick stout with the added richness of oak and vanilla notes from the barrel-aging. A beautiful beast of a beer.

Developed after reflecting on youthful dalliances of yore, Panther Cub is a small porter aged in a combo of BLIS maple syrup bourbon barrels and regular bourbon barrels. This fierce cat has been aging in barrels for over two years with whole vanilla beans (just for fun). Tasty maple and vanilla notes plus surprisingly deep character make this rare special release one to look upon fondly.

Coffee lovers, this one’s for you, straight from the mind of our R&D Brewer. We reached out to our local coffee-roasting friends at Ferris Coffee & Nut for the featured ingredient: copious amounts of Mackinac Fudge coffee. Roasted, bold and perfectly balanced with just a hint of sweetness, it fits right into our esteemed line of coffee beers.

This West Coast-style double IPA has been lying in wait having only been featured on draft… until now. A cult-favorite, Sleeper Cell features an intense dose of five hop varieties. The aggressive hop presence lingers on the palate finishing sharp, dry and utterly memorable. Our roots may be Midwestern, but here’s proof that we can delight hopheads seeking a West Coast-inspired flavor.
