2) Water Chopper GOSE

Brewed with 35% malted white wheat and German Pilsner malt, Water Chopper Gose is dry, moderately sour, and extremely refreshing. Fermented with Lactobacillus (contributing a tartness) in conjunction with our house ale strain, we’ve also added sea salt, and a pinch of coriander. 4.8% ABV / 7 IBU

Bold and full flavored with a slight alcohol warmth, but very drinkable. 7.7% ABV / 55 IBU

6) Chili Pepper Export Stout

Export Stout (Foreign Export Style), combines six different malt varieties to create intriguing flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and roasted barley. Nugget and Mt.
