Our Stout is a little bit cheeky. Our twist on a traditional British stout, it combines a rich, roasted body with a smooth, sweet finish. Low in ABV but high in deliciousness, it's the perfect blend of dark and light. 

Variant of the Mexican-Style Chocolate Stout, Chocolate Sombrero, featuring coffee and vanilla.

Scotch Ales and whiskies are natural complements, sharing flavors and aromatics such as caramel and toffee, but rarely do we have the opportunity to age our beers in Scotch whisky barrels due to their scarcity. So, when our Brewmaster was fortunate to have the opportunity to procure barrels from his favorite Scotch distillery, Laphroaig, the team jumped on the opportunity to marry two of our favorite beverages. This medium-bodied Scotch Barrel Aged Peated Scotch Ale carries the flavors of Toffee and Scotch alongside the aromatics of Caramel and Peat, making this the perfect beer to enjoy by the fire during Chicago's cold winters.

The brewer allow the beer to macerate with fresh cherries, raspberries and cranberries. After this maceration in oak, the beer re-ferments in the bottle. The result is RODENBACH Caractère Rouge, an exceptional RODENBACH with fruit maceration and a 7% alcohol volume.

When we got the change to brew a ESB in a collaboration with Fuller's late in 2018 we thought we only get one shot at brewing the ESB beer style. But the locals asked us to brew the beer again. So here it is. 

In collaboration with Mr. B's. Instead of using typical bourbon, red wine, or white wine barrels, we decided it was important to acquire something unique. We chose white wine barrels, but the barrels we tracked down are not your everyday chardonnay barrels. Tablas Creek Winery produces wines featuring only the classic varietals used in the Rhone River Valley in the south of France. These barrels were used for blending and contained white wine varietals such as Marsanne, Rousanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc. The barrels were freshly drained then immediately shipped to Crooked Stave where a blend of roughly 75% L'Brett d'Or, 20% Surette, and 5% Vieille was set to age.

Drakonic is smooth and dense with flavors of licorice, coffee, and chocolate. Sip, savor and give in to its seductive malt embrace. 

A tropical delight with coconut, pineapple, almond, and orange.

After almost 2 years on sabbatical comes the dearly missed Grandma’s Boy. Aged in oak foeders, and emerging from a deep hibernation with Niagara Shiro plums, the 2018 version veers firmly into sour territory, showcasing macerated stone fruit flavour, refined brett character, and lively carbonation.

It’s spiffy enough for a holiday get together, but absolutely fitting for a Tuesday evening with nothing on the horizon but laundry.

A blend of Lambic-inspired, coolship spontaneous beer, brewed in accordance with the Méthode Traditionnelle guidelines, aged for one, two, and three years in neutral oak, then, combined with freshly picked Neomexicanus wet hops from Voss Farms in Arvada, Colorado. We further aged the beer for two weeks in more than 20lbs of hops in each of several freshly emptied red wine oak barrels. The slightly sour and funky base beer melds with sweet pine, melon, and berry characteristics from the hops. Wild microbes like ours are known to be able to bio-transform hop aroma compounds and flavor compounds, releasing new and interesting flavors from the hops as the beer ages. Enjoy fresh or age for a more complex flavor experience. 

WARPOWER begins as our 1, 2 and 3 year blended spontaneous base beer, that follows the Methode Traditionnelle guidelines. We then blended in whole montmorency and balaton cherries. After a long period of aging on the cherries, we racked the beer onto a small amount of blackberry. Just enough to give this beer a tart and dry finish.

This red ale is brewed in traditional West Flanders style. A combination of light, crystal, and dark barley malt, wheat, and oats are brewed with local whole-cone hops and variety of select yeast and lactic bacteria. We age our red ale in oak barrels for a period of time to develop complex richness, soft tannins, and fruity tart character. The aged beer is then blended with young beer to create the desired balance of malt sweetness with a dry finish

Tart of Darkness is a sour stout aged in oak. Brewed to resemble a stout at its foundation, the journey into tartness begins with fermentation in large oak puncheons at Bruery Terreux, where it’s treated to a special blend of souring bacteria and wild yeast cultures. Following a slow but wildly active fermentation, the beer is transferred for extended aging into a dedicated collection of used oak barrels for Tart of Darkness. This includes emptied bourbon barrels from The Bruery that previously held beers such as Black Tuesday®. This special edition was aged with black currants, imparting ripe, jammy notes to our awesomely dark and roasty sour stout.
