OUR BEER:

Our beer selections consistently feature our 5 Flagship Beers, and a seasonal or two. Ask about our mug club!

Flagships:
A refreshing American style ale and oh so enjoyable on a hot Kansas summer day! Our most popular brew, we recommend this for those beginning to venture into the world of hand-crafted ales. Winter wheat malt is used to create a wonderful mild body with a hint of sweetness, and balanced with a dash of American hops. This beer is doubly refreshing when served with a lemon slice. ABV: 5.0% IBU's: 13	Brewer favorite! This is our hoppiest beer of our flagships. English hops are used with a dash of American hops creating a wonderful hint of citrus complexity. Complimented by a mild, sweet yet full body with the slightest hint of caramel. A well-balanced IPA. Cheers! ABV: 6.6% IBU's: 62	An ale we think General Bennett C. Riley (Fort Riley’s namesake) would have enjoyed while here in the Flinthills. Riley's Red Ale represents the midrange of our flagships. Try it once and you will see why our regulars are particularly fond of it! Based on the classic Dusseldorf-style-Altbier, our Red Ale os copper toned with a hint of caramel aroma, and topped off with a dash of European hops, creating a wonderfully balanced Ale. ABV: 5.2% IBU's: 27	Our tribute to a Scottsman who in the 1870's brought the Black Angus to Kansas. This American style stout is made wtih a special blend of six different malts and hops from the Pacific Northwest. We then use nitrogen carbonation to create a rich and creamy brew wtih a wonderful roasted flavor. Pair this with one of our CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF steaks for an unforgettable treat. ABV: 6.2% IBU's: 32	Our tribute to the English style brown with local influence is sure to please the connoisseur in all of us. Our Bison Brown Ale has a medium body using a variety of malts producing a distinctive hint of chocolate and nut. We use the finest English "noble" hops, making this a well balanced beer. ABV: 5.3% IBU's: 24
