HaHa Pils

Northern German Pilsener

ABV 4.9% | 38 IBU

Awards:
Gold – Great American Beer Fest 2024
Gold – MN Brewer’s Cup 2024
Silver – MN Brewer’s Cup 2021

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.

ABV 4.6% | 11 IBU

Awards:
2024 Gold – MN Brewer’s Cup
2024 2nd Best in Show – MN Brewer’s Cup

| AROMA |
Light fruitiness and delicate floral
hoppiness float upon a very subtle aroma of
cooked sticky rice.

| FLAVOR |
A light and crisp mingling of crackery
pilsner malt and nuanced cooked white rice
along with a suggestion of floral grassiness from the noble hop blend.

Arbeiter

German Blonde Ale
*Gluten Reduced

ABV 5.4% | 18 IBU

The worker’s beer, Arbeiter! Perfect for watching the game, mowing the lawn, fishing…whatever the hell it is you do sipping on a light, great tasting, yellow beer! OH, and it’s gluten-reduced! Gluten haters, rejoice!

| AROMA |
Light pear and crackery biscuit aroma. Subtly sweet and beer-like.

| FLAVOR |
Delicate sweet malty flavors with fruity ester notes from the yeast, all followed by a clean finish. 

Westküst

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.

Your Opacity

Hazy IPA

ABV 6.6% | 30 IBU

Your Opacity is a juicy Hazy IPA featuring Idaho 7 and Cashmere hops!

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

| FLAVOR |
A chewy yet smooth body carries the fruity hop flavors that the haze heads will love, with a perfect underlying “hop burn” flavor.

| FLAVOR |
Sweet Raspberry with a dash of mint.

Chill Phaze

Cold IPA

ABV 6.9% | 68 IBU

Chill Phaze has become a bit of a staple Arbeiter beer, and it’s been brewed with Bru-1 regular hop pellets (called T90), and Idaho 7 in LUPOMAX form; after we tried flopping the T90 and LUPOMAX varieties, we like it better this way.

| AROMA |
Five Alive! A pineapple-forward tropical hop menagerie with touches of stone fruit and pine or grassiness.

| FLAVOR |
A smooth and light body carries a very pleasant balance of juicy hop flavors and clean bitterness.

| FLAVOR |
A smooth and light body carries a very pleasant balance of juicy hop flavors and clean bitterness. 

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, 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.

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.

Zestküst

Westcoast-Style IPA

ABV 6.7% | 70 IBU

A West Coast-Styled IPA brewed entirely with German-grown or sourced ingredients and finished with grapefruit extract.

If you like Ballast Point’s Grapefruit Sculpin or Deschutes’ Fresh Squeezed, you’ll love Zestküst!

| AROMA |
The nose is dominated by a grapefruit peel aroma, but mandarin orange is present as well as a faint touch of caramel malt sweetness.

| FLAVOR |
A blend of sweet bread malt and bright citrus flavors are at the forefront, yielding to a finish that is predominantly citrus/grapefruit-oil with a Zest[küst]-iness that invites you back for more!

Meadow

Strawberry Lemongrass Keller Pils

ABV 4.4% | 22 IBU

A lovely and clever flavor combination suggested by the lovely and clever Katie Montgomery, one of our employees. We decided a flavored Keller-style pils would be a great way to showcase this fun and unique flavor combination. Affectionately dubbed “Monty Pils” as a working title, Meadow is a delicate and enjoyable little beer; a last gentle wave-goodbye to the summer (that will likely stick around a bit longer!)

| AROMA |
The distinctive, yet subtle earthy-strawberry meat aroma greets you, and is followed by a pleasant blend of herbal notes from both the lemongrass itself, as well as the lemongrass-scented Saphir hops

| FLAVOR |
The flavor profile follows suit from the aroma – delicate and unmistakable strawberry up front welcomes you to an enjoyable herbal spiciness and hoppiness of lemongrass.

Mad Notes

Pale Ale

ABV 5.2% | 33 IBU

Mad Notes was a way to utilize free yeast and make another beer! A bit of a kitchen sink beer, we just slapped some things together, and dip-hopped it because we weren’t using the yeast again! The yeast is the Omega Daybreak-V strain, like in Break Of Dawn, and we wanted to see what throwing a hazy pale ale grain bill at the yeast would do! 

| AROMA |
A big and complex nose of hoppiness including dank hops, pineapple, and an herbaceous quality to it as well.

| FLAVOR |
Mildly fruity with a subtle tropical citrus finish.

Helles

Lager

ABV 5.4% | 21 IBU

Collaboration with Steve Finnie and Niko Tonks of Little Thistle Brewing 

A beer many moons in the making – Steve Finnie from Little Thistle loves collaborations and has wanted to collaborate with us on something decocted since he never had decocted anything himself. Since I had never made one, a Helles was the perfect style for us. We were fortunate to welcome back Niko Tonks, formerly of Fair State, as part of this collab since he has taken up the Head Brewer position at Little Thistle.

The particular malt chosen for this Helles is described as under-modified – this means the amount of starch and protein development within the kernel is less than what would be found in a fully modified malt. Since we can apply heat to our mash mixer, we can utilize various temperature rests to further develop the protein in such a malt, while also making more starch available for conversion into fermentable sugars. Decocting (boiling the mash) also aids in making the starch available for conversion, but also of course carmelizes sugars which contributes delicate and nuanced malt flavors in the finished beer. Using under-modified malt and manipulating the mash as described is a more historic way to brew a beer like a Helles, since malting technology was not as advanced in the 1800s as it is today. In short, the brewer has to do some of the work that maltsters now do.

| AROMA |
Malt aromas of hay, grain, and freshly cooked biscuits dominate the nose, with a touch of grassy hoppiness. 

| FLAVOR |
A crisp hoppy bite greets your palette but quickly yields to a menagerie of malty notes including water cracker, fresh white bread, and delicate caramel.

Witbier

Belgian Ale

ABV 4.8% | 15 IBU

Contains Wheat

This Belgian Witbier (white beer) was brewed in the Hoegaarden tradition with coriander and orange peel. Additionally, since we have the ability to step mash, we opted to use unmalted wheat and cereal mash to degrade the large proteins as well as gelatinize the unconverted wheat starches to make them available for conversion to fermentable sugars.

| AROMA |
Distinct, complex, and classic witbier aroma profile full of spicy and fruity notes of pepper and orange, as well as a subtle floral perfume from the coriander.

| FLAVOR |
A nuanced blend of white pepper-spice from the witbier yeast, subtle floral flavors from the coriander, and fruitiness from the orange peel, all followed with a crisp finish.
