This pilsener slaps so hard, it’ll make you
laugh. HaHa Pils is our flagship pilsener named after the Avenue in which our brewery resides — Minnehaha Ave.
Haha Pils is the cleaner and more hop
forward pale lager you’ve been looking for. Brewed in the Northern German tradition
(thus the spelling with the extra “e” as
opposed to “pilsner”), Haha Pils is cleaner
tasting and more hop-forward than it’s
maltier brethren from deeper within the
European continent. Our pilsener is brewed
using the highest quality German pilsner
malt and mashing techniques to ensure a
clean and crisp malt profile. A perfectly
complex hop profile containing earthy,
grassy, hay, wildflower, and spicy fresh
herbs demand your attention and make
you wonder why your glass is already empty.
| AROMA |
Balance of clean grain huskiness and floral hoppiness.
| FLAVOR |
Clean malt profile from top to bottom; hop flavors are a mix of floral and hay with a hint of herbal spiciness.

Westcoast-Style IPA
ABV 7.0% | 70 IBU
West Coast meets Hallertau (hop-growing region in Germany)! Westküst finds its way as a West Coast American IPA by enlisting a full array of German-sourced hops and malts.
We call it, “Bavarican”, because Westküst achieves an American IPA flavor profile by enlisting a full array of German-sourced ingredients.
| AROMA |
Apricot/peach pit, some tangerine and grass notes, and even some resinous green pepper aroma.
| FLAVOR |
The blend of German-grown hop varieties employed provides a unique but familiar flavor profile that includes citrus, resinous, grassy, and some fresh herbal notes; not unlike what would be found in a traditionally made American IPA.

Bold fruity aromas of lime, sweet apple, pear, melon, and pineapple.

Seasonal Flagships
Ground Score
Honey Rye Ale
ABV 6.1% | IBU 40
Like any ground score, Ground Score Honey Rye Ale is worth the excitement! Originally a collab with the mighty Forager Brewing in Rochester, MN called Crunchy LIvin’, Ground Scores makes its comeback! Like a good brown ale, it’s well-balanced in every aspect, easy-drinking, and it’s something different from the standard IPAs we usually drink.
| AROMA |
A faint yet quintessential honey aroma says a quick hello and is followed by a warming earthiness from the rye malts and hop blend.
| FLAVOR |
Honey and berry-like hop flavors greet your palate, while a fun mix of rye spiciness and grassy/woody hoppiness leaves you wanting another sip.
Cold Classic
Cold IPA
ABV 7.4% | IBU 74
Brrrr, are you getting chills just thinking about slugging this badass beer down? We are! If you know Arbeiter, you know we LOVE making our Cold IPAs and this one crushes! Here’s the hop breakdown: Citra, Columbus, Idaho 7 LUPOMAX – yes! Flavors of ripe guava, juicy mandarin orange, and resinous pine. Hop heads will love this beer!
| AROMA |
A menagerie of BIG, room-filling hop aromas of ripe melon, guava, and dank/pungent tropical notes.
| FLAVOR |
Mouth-coating oily hoppiness with flavors of ripe guava, juicy mandarin orange, and resinous pine. Hop heads should love this beer! As a “proper” cold IPA should, Cold Classic gives the impression of having body and chewiness to it but this perception comes from the alcohol content and hop oils, not residual sugar from the malt!
Acid Factory
Blackberry & Lemon Sour Ale
ABV 4.8% | IBU 24
*Contains Wheat/Lactose
This tasty smoothie sour is super tart with a flavor profile dominated by distinct earthy blackberry and balanced by a candied lemon/pithy lemon peel tartness! Made with so much real fruit puree, you’re probably getting your vitamins!

All types of tart notes from the blackberry to the lemon peel to the lactic acid from the souring, all with a pleasing berry sweetness.

A crisp and refreshing alternative to our beer offerings. The berry and mint make this seltzer a real thirst quencher!
| AROMA |

Sweet Raspberry with a dash of mint.
Gestalt
Altbier
ABV 4.8% | 41 IBU
Gestalt is a balanced German brown ale, brewed like a lager, and well balanced.
A historic style originating in the Rhineland region in Northern Germany – specifically the town of Dusseldorf, Alt (meaning “old”) is a nuanced and delicate ale that is brewed like a lager. Esters from ale yeast are all but absent; light and sweet, almost nutty malt flavors are balanced by just enough noble hop bitterness to make a well-made Alt a lovely sessionable brew. Our Altbier drinks light and clean with a bit of an assertive hop bitterness
| AROMA |
Very slight and pleasant burnt caramel
with hop spice, and some darker dried fruit aromas like raisin, or date. Gently toasted biscuit or bready malt aromas
| FLAVOR |
Equal balance of toffee malt sweetness
and clean hop bitterness; dry finish of biscuit-like malt with pleasant herbal hop bite.
Rotationals
Gochu Stout
Gochujang Stout “Chili Pepper Stout
*contains Lactose
ABV 5.4% | 16 IBU
To add a warming spice to our drab fall and winter, we took a sweet stout and added the unique and approachable spice of Korean Gochujang – a fermented paste made from red chilies, soy, and barley that is popularly used in Korean cooking.
The high residual sugar content and relatively large percentage of unfermentable milk sugar in the base beer is the perfect vehicle to deliver a very approachable pepper spiciness, along with a very bearable amount of heat. While some pepper beer enthusiasts may wish Gochu Stout to be hotter, they are sure to be very pleased with the overall flavor and balance!
| AROMA |
Chocolate and roasted malt aromas embrace a soft but evident red pepper spice note.
| FLAVOR |
The flavor profile follows almost exactly from what is proposed by the pre-sip aromatics – an enjoyable and full-palated experience of soothing and rich chocolatey notes that gradually transition to a pleasant and very tolerable warming spice from the pepper paste, all followed by a satiating heat in the aftertaste that will build as you move through your pour.
Life Was A Haze
Hazy IPA
*Contains Wheat
ABV 6.7% | 23 IBU
A New England-style hazy IPA with Mosaic and Strata hops.
| AROMA |
A bouquet of intense hoppiness brought to you by tropical, citrus, and pine characteristics.
| FLAVOR |
A flavor-packed mouthful of juicy hop notes including ripe mango and sweet orange, with supporting aspects such as dankness and ruby red grapefruit.
Basic Witch
Pumpkin Spice Latte Stout
*contains Lactose and Caffeine
ABV 5.2% | 16 IBU
Tis the season, Witches! Basic Witch is our spicy take of a pumpkin-spiced latte! The base beer is a VERY sweet stout made with a lot of unfermentable milk sugar (lactose). We made our own cold press concentrate from Peace Coffee’s Yeti blend, which was the first step in cutting through the sweet stout; then dosed it with the perfect amount of a high-quality pumpkin spice extract.
| AROMA |
It’s your favorite national-chain-coffee-shop-smell-in-the-fall, but with a boozy element to it! Cinnamon, clove, allspice, and nutmeg can all be detected, blending seamlessly with roasted coffee notes as well as chocolatey malt notes.
| FLAVOR |
The flavor is almost inverse of the aroma, with the chocolatey sweet beer introducing you to the flavor profile, then the coffee and pumpkin spice layers come in to perfectly balance out the sweetness, awaiting your next sip – much as you would from a white cup with a green logo.
