Beers Registered (7)

Cart Barn Light

Cream Ale
Standard American Beer
Package
A clean, well-attenuated, flavorful American "lawnmower" beer. Easily drinkable and refreshing, with more character than typical American lagers.
ABV: 4.2% to 5.6%
IBU: 8 to 20

Rollin In the Haze NEIPA/Hazy IPA

Specialty IPA
IPA
Package
Recognizable as an IPA by balance – a hop-forward, bitter, dryish beer – with something else present to distinguish it from the standard categories. Should have good drinkability, regardless of the form. Excessive harshness and heaviness are typically faults, as are strong flavor clashes between the hops and the other specialty ingredients.

Devil's Staircase IPA

American IPA
IPA
Package
A decidedly hoppy and bitter, moderately strong American pale ale, showcasing modern American or New World hop varieties. The balance is hop-forward, with a clean fermentation profile, dryish finish, and clean, supporting malt allowing a creative range of hop character to shine through.
ABV: 5.5% to 7.5%
IBU: 40 to 70

Bama Mosa Brut Ale w/ Valencia Orange Juice

Specialty Fruit Beer
Fruit Beer
Package
A harmonious marriage of fruit, sugar, and beer, but still recognizable as a beer. The fruit and sugar character should both be evident but in balance with the beer, not so forward as to suggest an artificial product.

Back Forty Italian Pilsner

Experimental Beer
Specialty Beer
Package
Varies, but should be a unique experience.

Naked Pig Pale Ale

American Pale Ale
Pale American Ale
Package
A pale, refreshing and hoppy ale, yet with sufficient supporting malt to make the beer balanced and drinkable. The clean hop presence can reflect classic or modern American or New World hop varieties with a wide range of characteristics. An average-strength hop-forward pale American craft beer, generally balanced to be more accessible than modern American IPAs.
ABV: 4.5% to 6.2%
IBU: 30 to 50

Truck Stop Honey Brown Ale

British Brown Ale
Brown British Beer
Package
A malty, brown caramel-centric British ale without the roasted flavors of a Porter.
ABV: 4.2% to 5.4%
IBU: 20 to 30
