Smooth and flavorful, Special Amber has been our flagship beer ever since 1985. So easy drinking it’s perfect for any occasion. Start with the creamy head, golden color and impressive hop nose. Then sip back and enjoy the masterful balance of semi-sweet and bready malts with choice hops. When you reach the dry, slightly hoppy finish, you’ll understand why Special Amber is such a popular beer.

Our signature beer, Black Bavarian, is renowned for its drinkability. This light to medium-bodied Schwarzbier (black beer) features superb malt and hop complexity. Beneath the creamy tan head, within the lager’s smooth mouthfeel lie flavors and aromas suggesting dark roasted coffee, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. Masterful hopping makes Black Bavarian both lighter and drier than expected. It has a pleasingly long finish. The kind that lingers just enough between sips, the kind that makes this rich flavored brew so easy to drink.

True to style, we ferment our Hefe Weiss with a German yeast culture. Don’t be put off by the cloudy appearance that comes from course-filtering—that’s a sign of a Bavarian-style wheat ale. Relax and appreciate the immense creamy head resting atop this lightly hopped ale. Take a sip of refreshing spice, hints of citrus and tropical fruit. The addition of wheat malt creates a mouthfeel smooth as a warm summer breeze. 

Our Belgian-style Tripel ale, Abbey Triple remains true to its origins and a classic example of the beer style. Brewed using a Belgian Trappist tripel yeast culture, the finest imported pale barley, Belgian aromatic malt and oats, this flavorful golden ale has a fruity bouquet, refined taste and pleasingly dry finish. 

Experience pale malt flavors deftly balanced with savory hops in our spring lager. Dry hopping and extended aging give this blonde bock its distinctive floral aroma, enticing hop bite, and smooth malt finish.  

The season is short, so hoist a stein of our Oktoberfest while it’s available. Celebrate the transition from summer into autumn with this copper-orange lager that’s fit for a Prinz, featuring toasted and caramel malts. The slightly fruity nose suggests summer’s fading warmth, but the creamy and lean mouthfeel of this medium-bodied lager directs you elsewhere. Savoring its malty sweetness, mild hop spiciness and clean finish will help you appreciate fall’s splendors. 

Dark mahogany in color, XII Dragons is a massive mouthful of malt goodness balanced by warming alcohol with a whisper of bitterness and playful spice; perfect for cooler weather or late evenings. Predominant flavors include caramelized sugar, toffee, dried fruits (fig, cherry, raisin, plum), molasses, and light spice (clove, pepper, nutmeg). Bourbon barrel aging added notes of vanilla, oak and toasted caramel to this Belgian style ale, creating a velvety smooth, rich and complex treat for beer lovers wide and far. Semi-dry to sweet, this is a strong beer – 14% ABV, alcohol by volume – that is still coming into its own and will continue to develop for many more years.
