North By Northwest Classics

	Northern Light The light touch of Horizon hops marry well with Pilsner malts to create this crisp, clean and refreshing beer.
	Duckabush Amber Pilsner, Caravienne, and Chocolate malts give this beer its beautiful, deep amber color. It is soft and creamy and balanced by Horizon hops.
	Pyjingo Pale Ale Brewed in the style of the great ales of the Pacific Northwest, this complex combination of Pilsner and Caravienne malts and Horizon, Cascade and Amarillo hops make it a great session beer.
	Okanagan Black Ale This rich, malty dark ale is reminiscent of the smooth ales produced by the Weltenberg Brewery in Northwestern Germany. The Pilsner, Caravienne, Munich, Chocolate, Black malts and Roasted Barley give this great dark ale a creamy, roasted malt flavor, which is perfectly balanced with Cascade hops.
	Bavarian Hefe Pilsner malt and White Wheat topped with German Hallertau hops give this smooth German-style wheat beer an invigorating flavor – the perfect accompaniment for a great Austin afternoon outside.

Dunkelweizen

Similar to a Hefeweizen, this wheat beer is brewed with dark malts adding a nice complexity and low bittering hops.

Prost Pilsner

A hoppy German-style Pils brewed especially for Oktoberfest.

Dark Side IPA

In celebration of our 1200th batch of beer, our previous head brewer, Ty Phelps returned for a collaboration brew with current head brewer Kevin Roark. Together they brewed this black IPA aka Cascadian Dark Ale. 

Kodiak IPA

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.

Whiskey River

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!
