About the Beer:
Bloktoberfest Märzen Lager – Celebrate Oktoberfest Block 15-style with this amber-hued Marzen lager. Noble hops impart subtle floral and spicy aromas, while PNW-sourced Pilsner and Munich-style malts build a delicate base.
Black Gold Schwarzbier – Designed in cooperation with OSU’s fermentation science program, this black lager was brewed with specialty dark malts and gently hopped with German hops. Extended cold conditioning rounded out its sharper roast character, producing a smooth and refreshing dark beer offering notes of toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and dried fruit.
Deep Seek West Coast IPA – We’ve gone deep into the exploration of this modern West Coast IPA. Brewed with mountains of pungent, resinous hops capturing depths of dank pine and bright citrus to complement your next adventure.
