Beer
Some classics. Some rookies.
We always have those few staples you can depend on. But as a small brewery, you can also bet there’s something new to try. Come visit us and see for yourself.
On Tap Now
We brew small-batch beers every season, but not all of them get canned or bottled. Here’s a full list of what you can catch on draft in our taproom.
We like to begin at the beginning. Lagers have been around for centuries, and this is our take on a classic: the Pilsner. With a foundation of Midwest malt plus plenty German hops, First Lager is both bright and refreshing. Great any time. Best with friends.
Swift is an IPA brewed with balance and brevity in mind. Bright notes of pine and tangerine citrus play against a firm malt profile, tied together with even-keel bitterness. An IPA for all occasions.
Ride or Die is a Pale Ale you can depend on — a bona fide fridge staple. Bright neon flavors of grapefruit and pine give way to a pleasantly soft malt base and a quick slice of balancing bitterness. Reliably tasty without a fuss.
Per Diem is a Dry-hopped Pilsner, a far-out fusion of the old and new school. Balancing Czech-style malt body and roundness with the lifting vibrancy of a noble dry-hop, this modern lager eschews tradition in favor of delightfully twisting expectations.
A juicy, dank DIPA soaked with heavy doses of Vic Secret and Wakatu hops and fermented with a fruity Norwegian yeast strain.
A blend of roasted malts give this IPA its red hue and malty backbone, while the addition of Sorachi Ace hops offer a floral, lemongrass accent. Named after the length of a day on Mars.
Style Points is a Brut IPA brewed with Idaho 7, Ekuanot and El Dorado hops and a quirky yeast from Norway. Brimming with stone fruit, tropical citrus and melon up front, capped by a super-dry finish. Brewed in collaboration with 4 Hands Brewing Co.
Side Salad is a mixed-culture Grisette with surprising complexity underlying its tiny stature. Blended from both young and aged wild ale, this beer is slightly tart, refreshing and a little funky — a choice pairing with the main course.
Blurring the lines between Pilsner and IPA, Party Sub showcases the citrusy, fruity notes of Styrian Dragon and Motueka hops atop a super-bright, crisp malt base. Brewed in collaboration with Rockwell Beer Co.
Bottles & Cans
Our team brews and packages all our beer at our brewery on Milwaukee Ave, which we think is pretty neat. Along with the mainstay cans that are available all year, we love brewing limited special releases.
