The Beers:

Winter Warmer Amber Ale: Description forthcoming…

Cerealiously: A milk stout, we added Lactose (an unfermentable milk sugar) to give the brew more body and a sweetness that counters the roasted character. Then we got weird and cold-steeped it with Sugar Cookie Toast Crunch cereal for a real treat. ABV: 6%

Jingle Ale: This amber ale has a nice maltiness but the spices (close, mace, cinnamon, orange peel, cardamom, and ginger root) are what really add that holiday flavor. ABV: 7.3%

Big Shot – A wonderful winter warmer, this brown ale with a touch of hazelnut will leave you wishing the season would never end. The perfect finish to a long day of playing in the Colorado sunshine, or maybe just wishing you had been.

Drunken Snowflake: a full bodied, malty winter ale with a touch of holiday spices.

Vanilla Caramel Double Cream Ale: A wonderful winter warmer, this creamy sweet ale is available on both CO2 and nitrogen in the taproom (while it lasts!), with a delicious creamy head on either pour. Mouthwatering vanilla and caramel notes appear in both aroma and taste, finishing with a reminder that this ale packs a punch. Try both in a side by side comparison. ABV: 8.5%

Frambozen: Flemish for “raspberry,” Frambozen is our big, luscious celebration of ruby red fruit. We discovered the perfect marriage between the fruity complexity of northwestern raspbeeries and the rich chocolate, roasted maltiness of a Brown Ale. Frambozen pours a warming, deep red of seasonal festivity.

Isolation Ale: As we welcome autumn’s first snow, we celebrate the return of Isolation Ale. A sweet caramel malty ale that is balanced by a subtle crisp hop finish. Whether you ski, shred or shoe, Isolation Ale will inspire you to make first tracks. ABV: 6.0%

Snowy River – Vanilla Porter: Made with locally blended vanilla from Rodelle, Inc. in Fort Collins, the right amount was added to balance out the chocolate and roasted flavors found in this seasonal offering. You will enjoy this beer from the first sip but will want more after the last. Easy to drink, and easy to understand that balance is key in this seasonal beer from our brewhouse. ABV: 5.0%

Smirking Lantern Pumpkin Ale: Gentle notes of caramelized pumpkin on the nose, sweet caramel, burnt sugar and a hint of pumpkin pie spice flavors with a smooth finish. ABV: 6.5%

Zweite Beste Doppelbock: Zweite Beste Dopplebock (German- Style Double Bock)- This rich strong lager bier requires long aging times and displays complex malty notes of coffee, molasses, with licorice undercurrents and a zesty alcohol finish. ABV: 7.9%
