Going Back to Cali Organic CommonLimited-Edition Beer Tasting5 p.m. 'til the beer is gone!21 and over |
|
When we were trying to find inspiration for our entry to the North American Organic Brewers Fest coming up in June we turned – as we often do – to the Notorious B.I.G. for guidance. The resulting California Common style beer is a light amber lager fermented at ale temperature with a malt profile smoother than Biggie’s rhymes, and a hop presence to provide the balance that will have you “going going back back” for another.

This wheat is made with half Premium Two Row and half White Malted Wheat. A small pinch of Nugget hops are added for a mild bitterness to provide balance. Then medium-bodied oak spirals were lightly toasted with a torch and aged for several months in our house rum. These spirals added to a keg of American Wheat add unique and complex flavors which include notes of oak, vanilla, and of course rum. Enjoy!

Mill Creek Olde Stock AleLimited-Edition Beer Tasting5 p.m. 'til beer is gone21 and over |
|
A new spring tradition is forming at Mill Creek! Every spring we will be showcasing a special beer that has been conditioning for several months. This year’s Olde Stock Ale is bitter but not overly hoppy as much of the hop character has mellowed out through aging. With a deep bronze color and sweet toffee aroma this hearty ale finishes dry and flavorful.

Whiskey Barrel-Aged MonkeywrenchLimited-Edition Beer Tasting5 p.m. 'til beer is gone21 and over |
|
A big, full-bodied amber ale with a small hint of roast chocolate flavor and loaded with so many Chinook hops that we've lost count. This special batch was aged in a freshly-emptied Hogshead Whiskey Barrel and then lagered for 15 months in the cooler to give it a malty spirit flavor along with a smokey, vanilla sweet wood accent that adds even more complexity to this hearty ale.
