Our Kodiak IPA is brewed with house pilsner malt, caramel and crystal malt for body and a touch of chocolate malt for color. Copious amounts of Apollo, Simcoe and Amarillo hops were added to the kettle, as well as Simcoe, Amarillo and a new hop called Zythos for dry-hopping in the fermenter.

Irish Stout aged in different whiskey barrels, then blended. The blend is 73% Jack Daniels barrel, 20% Balcones Distilling Single Malt barrel and 7% Balcones Distilling Baby Blue corn whiskey barrel. It is quite delicious, probably our brewers' favorite barrel aged beer so far!
