SEAT AT THE TABLE
Raspberry Basil Wheat Ale
ABV 4.9% | 25 IBU
We collaborated with @modistbrewing brewer, @grapeapegradient, for #InternationalWomensDay. Bri was the recipient of Arbeiter’s International Women’s Day Scholarship last year and we are following up with, Seat at the Table, a raspberry, basil wheat ale. Our own, Kate Winkel, worked closely with Bri on this project.
This was our first time using fresh herbs in the boil kettle, the wort was to die for! After adding quite a bit of raspberry puree, relatively speaking, during active fermentation, the resulting beer is a gorgeous peachy/pink-grapefruit color, and looks stunning in a tall altitude glass. Even the persistent thick head is a very attractive light lavender/salmon color.
| AROMA |
A pillowly mixture of sweet and tart raspberry and herbal basil aromas.
| FLAVOR |
Clean, balanced, and nuanced – subtle tart and tannic raspberry flavors with a basil herb finish.
YOUR OPACITY
Hazy IPA
ABV 6.2% | 22 IBU
Your Opacity is back! Juicier than ever this batch features the popular Strata and El Dorado hops! Passionfruit and strawberry aromas compliment the tropical and hoppy flavor profile.
| AROMA |
Bold fruity aromas of passionfruit, strawberry, and pear.
| FLAVOR |
A chewy yet smooth body carries the fruity hop flavors that the haze heads will love, with a perfect underlying hop flavor.
HERMANATOR
Doppelbock
ABV 7.8% | 23 IBU
Hermanator benefitted from a long decoction to intensify the bright caramel malt characteristic. We also aged Hermanator for 6 months before its release as is the historic brewing tradition for Lent!
Doppelbock is from Munich, Germany and the
original “liquid bread” of medieval brew monks and brew nuns brewed to drink during Lent.
Traditionally, a Doppelbock released for Lent is given the suffix “-ator.” This tradition was established in the 1600s by the Paulaner monks of Munich who brewed a strong bier, or “liquid bread”, to nourish them during their Lenten fast. They called their bier Salvator, meaning “Our Savior.” To this day, Bavarian breweries and others commemorate the tradition by releasing a Doppelbock for Lent and by giving their doppelbocks names with the suffix “-ator.”
| AROMA |
Grain husk and soft caramel malt aromas.
| FLAVOR |
Rich and complex malt flavors including toffee, caramel, raisin, and maybe a faint touch of tart apple sweetness, and an even fainter bitterness around the edges that subside as the pour warms.
CZCH PLZ
CZECH-STYLE PILSNER
ABV 5.3% | 36 IBU
CHECK PLEASE! We can’t stay away from a good pun OR a good lager! This Czech Pils recipe comes from our friend and the guy behind Triton Brewing Chemical, Ken Wentworth. We had him over to brew one of both of our favorite styles and it turned out great! Bohemian Pils malt and Sazz hops! Na zdravi!
We added a long decoction (boiling of the mash) to the CZCH PLZ recipe to deepen the color of this pilsner. Brewed using Czech-grown malt and hops, as well as Czech brewing techniques including the target water profile to as closely mimic the classic, historic, and influential beer style. A historic Czech/Continental/Bohemian-style pilsner would have been decocted and because of the resulting enhanced malt character, so too would the bitterness have been increased, compared to other pale lagers of the day.
| AROMA |
Delicate but noticeable malt notes of baking sweet bread are interwoven with the distinct fresh hay spiciness of Saaz.
| FLAVOR |
A smooth and light body carries even parts of grassy and herbal hop flavors and a very pleasant clean maltiness.
CARTWHEEL FIREWORKS
Strong Pale Ale
ABV 6.0% | 33 IBU
Cartwheel Fireworks is the first commercially available beer made with HS17752, an experimental hop variety from Hopsteiner!
It all started when the Arbeiter crew was invited by Single Hill Brewing of Yakima, WA to participate in their Hop Rodeo competition during the 2022 hop harvest. While touring hop yards and gathering freshly kilned hops for our beer at Single Hill we were fortunate to stumble upon an extremely new hop variety, HS17752, bred by Nicholi Pitta of Hopsteiner. At one point when describing the hop, Nicholi referred to things that are new, exciting, and trendy as “Cartwheel Fireworks”. We all laughed at the time but when it came time to name the beer we knew exactly what to call it.
| AROMA |
A veritable menagerie of hop aromas running the gamut from tropical to noble. Tropical notes including but not limited to pineapple and mango, noble grassiness, and clean pine.
| FLAVOR |
Tropical melon-like, stone fruit, and very fresh-cut grassy flavors are all carried by a moderate mouthfeel from the oats, alcohol, and hops, with a dry finish.
N.A. WILDFLYER COFFEE STOUT
N.A. Coffee Stout
ABV <.5% | 23 IBU |
*Contains Wheat/Caffeine
A collaboration with our neighbors at Wildflyer Coffee – we worked with Wildflyer to create a unique Arbeiter Blend of coffee that not only went into the stout, but that we will also be selling as bagged coffee while the coffee stout is available
A great beer for the Twin Cities and for the beautiful Winter weather!
| AROMA |
The roasty aroma really comes through on the NA version of this stout.
| FLAVOR |
Both roastiness from the coffee beans and the malt are most pronounced. It’s like an elevated cold press and would probably be pretty delicious on ice!
GESTALT ALT
Altbier
ABV 5.0% | 41 IBU
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 brewed like a lager. Esters from ale yeast are 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 is light-bodied and clean with a bit of 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 a pleasant herbal hop bite.
CITRUS SPRITZIG
Hard Seltzer
ABV 5.8% | 0 IBU *Gluten Free

| AROMA |
Citrusty

Squirty
DIP HOP ACID FACTORY
Dip-Hopped Sour Ale
ABV 4.4% | 24 IBU
We wanted to impart a tropical and juicy hop flavor into a sour ale using hops, naturally, we dip hopped a kettle sour!
Calypso hops have a tropical/pear/melon profile and Sultana hops have a strong pineapple profile and they seemed like a good choice to get those juicy and fruity flavors flowing with the tartness. However, care was taken so as not to over-bitter the delicateness of the beer.
| AROMA |
Clean, bright, and tart aroma with a pleasant earthy/grassy/herbal hoppy note.
| FLAVOR |
An interesting menagerie of tartness, fruit, and a gentle bitterness flavor that mingles up-front. Over-ripe pineapple flavors dominate the profile and a lively carbonation level contributes to the overall excitement.
WILDFLYER

HAHA PILS
Northern German Pilsener
ABV 4.9% | 38 IBU
This pilsener slaps so hard, it’ll make you
laugh. Haha Pils is our flagship pilsener.
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.
WESTKÜST
Westcoast-Style “Bavarican” IPA
ABV 6.9% | 72 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. 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.
ARBEITER® BIER

ABV 5.4% | 18 IBU
A beer for the people! A beer designed for those who are looking for just “beer”, as well as those looking for a palate refresher in-between hop, sweet, or sour bombs.
It’s the perfect first and last beer of your session. It’s light and balanced, with a restrained cracker-like malt profile and a hind of noble hop character
| AROMA |
Light fruity pear-like aroma.
