Beer

We love beer. We enjoy brewing it even more than we enjoy drinking it. That’s why we designed our brewhouse to be such a hands on system that allows us great control and flexibility in the brewing process. All our beer is made in-house on our one of a kind ‘Rube Goldbergesque’ manually focused system. Our small size allows for a guaranteed freshness of product and the small batch capability enables great variety.
 Our brewery is fiercely independent, locally owned and run…just how the locals like it!
We hope you enjoy our beer as much as we do.

OVER THE HILLS - Maibock

Maibock is the hoppier and golden in colour cousin to Traditional Bock and Dopplebock. Brewed for the month of May to be served in the spring time in Germany.

Using Weyermanns Barke Pilsner,Isaria 1924 and Voyagers SM40 malts to create a strong malt chacter, we hopped it with Most hop to bring a new world hop flavour and aroma. Mogwai Labs Lost Souls yeast from a bavarian monastery carries the beer with a strong bouquet of light fruits.
