Welcome back Jeff! Our traditional Hefeweizen has returned! Some might think that traditional means boring, but to us this beer is anything but boring. It’s a complex beer for being such a simple grain bill. Half Pilsner malt and half malted white wheat with a touch of acidified malt make for a soft and pillowy beer. The yeast does the talking here, Jasper Yeast Labs sent us a lovely Hefe yeast that gives us subtle clove and banana flavors with other ester notes that make this beer a perfect choice for spring and early summer! Look out for this beer again later this year with strawberry puree! Prost!

ABV: 5.3%

Our first attempt at making ultra low alcohol beers for the teetotaling folks out there, or maybe you just want to enjoy more beers with your friends without the hangover. Either way, this is the beer for you. Brewed to counteract thin body and dosed with comparable levels of hops to mimic a pale ale at higher alcohol percentages. Changes will be made, but overall we call the beer a success in flavor and body for such low alcohol. Mosaic hops make for a delicious flavor, and we dry hopped it!

ABV: 3%

Dry Irish stout is the style for this beer. Some of you might be familiar with the widely distributed dark beer that begins with G that this style is known for. Imagine that but with more flavor and freshness packed in. Slightly more roasty with a hint of dark molasses than a typical Irish dry stout. To pack a little more texture and awesomeness into the beer we are pouring it thru a sidepull faucet to give a foamy head reminiscent of a nitro pushed beer. Sláinte!

ABV: 5.3%

A recently redesigned IPA that focuses on big hitter hops. A traditional west coast IPA this beer is made with only pilsner malt, a touch of flaked wheat for head retention and acidified malt to correct mash pH. Light in color, but big in hop flavor featuring Mosaic, Citra, and Columbus in the kettle for a citrusy, piney, and slightly dank hop bomb.Then, dry hopped with Mosaic and Idaho 7. If you like west coast IPAs, this is a classic example of the style.

ABV: 7.5%

Darker, slightly roasty notes from the addition of roasted and crystallized rye grain are combined with a hop profile that would usually be found in a german pils, making this beer a style all its own. Hops for this are all Hallertau Mittlefrüh, combined with the slight roast gives this beer a drying finish and an easily drinkable quality.

ABV: 5.5%

The first in a series of experimental IPAs using largely unknown hop styles. The first on the list is Ariana. Developed by the Hop Research Center in Hül, Germany. This hop has a wide flavor profile that ranges from blackcurrant and grapefruit to geranium and vanilla with an aroma profile that includes berry, citrus, and tobacco.

ABV: 7.5%

This robust American brown ale is the perfect companion for the season. With a harmonious balance of roasty malts and subtle bitterness, it’s rich yet approachable. Each sip reveals deep coffee notes intertwined with a touch of caramel sweetness, all leading to a dry, slightly nutty finish that keeps you coming back for more.

ABV: 7.5%

Do you like fruit in your beer, but not sour? Then this beer’s for you. Made with light roast malts and a touch of Caramel for a little bit of roundness, then BANG! A symphony of juicy blueberry, tropical guava, tart cherry, and sweet mango that creates a vibrant, fruity experience. It's a refreshing yet complex beer that's as inviting as it is satisfying.

ABV: 6.9%

Look out, this one bites. At 66.6 IBUs it’s the bitterness you want for a refreshing and scary easy finish. Lots of bright citrus and berries, with a hint of herbal softness. In true west coast double fashion it’s also incredibly dry. Be careful with this one, it’s a wolf in sheep's clothing.

ABV: 8.6%

A relatively new style of IPA invented by Kevin Davey who founded Wayfinder Beer and Gold Dot Beer. It’s an IPA that is fermented with Lager yeast at Ale temperatures. It’s strikingly bitter, extra dry, and as light in color as possible from large additions of adjuncts in the grist bill. At the end of the day it’s basically a west coast IPA but dialed up to 11 in the areas that make west coast what it is. We made this beer with 60% pilsner malt and 40% flaked corn. The hops used were Motueka and a huge amount of Elani, a brand new hop. Grassy, bitter, with some citrus and floral notes make this beer ready to drink for any hop lover.

ABV: 7.5%

Who says traditional German lagers can’t be exciting!? As a rather obscure style, this is a beer that not many people outside of Germany have experienced. Well, it’s your lucky day, because we have this big boy serving right here in our taproom. It’s a very light, high alcohol beer with a slightly sweet and toasty note. This beer can be sneaky, and  if you’re not careful it’ll have you tapping S.O.S. to your friends.

ABV: 8.4%

One of our recurring favorite beers, Rubus, is a heavily fruited raspberry beer that’s been kettle soured. We added a touch of coriander in the boil to add to complexity, and give it the slight citrus bump it needs to compliment its sourness. Light, bright, and tasty, Rubus is the beer for people who think they don’t like beer.

ABV: 5.0%

A fairly straight forward beer base with simple grains to let the fruit shine. Then properly soured for two days to give it the right twang. Fermented with hazy ipa yeast to give it a fruity/tropical ferment character. And finally, we added egregious amounts of blueberry and mango toward the end to retain as much fruity goodness as possible. Sour, sweet, fruity, delicious!

ABV: 5.0%

One more sour for the roster! Made dry, sour, and then lightly fruited with pink guava. And, to add a little complexity, a touch of untoasted coconut pureé was added but not so much that you end up drinking sunscreen flavored beer. Subtly is the key to this beer and its supreme refreshment.

ABV: 5.5%

Iris is our newest delicate flower, and by flower we mean beer. A soft, pillowy, and pleasant hazy New England style Pale ale that makes use of US Mosaic hops blended with New Zealand Pacific Sunrise hops. This blend of hops makes for a flavor and aroma that brings about apricot, peach, and a little bit of dankness that makes for a refreshing lower alcohol option for hop lovers.

ABV: 4.7%

A German dark lager made with pils, caramalt, and chocolate malt. Then, just to upset tradition, we added dark sweet cherry puree. Just a little, not too much. Hints of tobacco and chocolate make for a rich beer with a light finish, enhanced by the slightly acid cherry zing, Bing will make you ask for another.

ABV: 4.7%

A new take on an old style. Moira is made with heaping amounts of house made caramel sugar, crystal malts, and roasty chocolate malts. The large amount of simple sugar help the beer to dry out a bit, which makes for a slightly boozy beer with a touch of sweetness and caramel sugar in the aroma.

ABV: 6.0%

An Italian style pilsner with a delicate malt character and a refreshingly crisp finish. A staff favorite! Most Italian pilsners are dry hopped. Ours isn’t. Dry hopping is great and all, but heavy kettle additions give a more refined and pleasant hop flavor/aroma that isn’t garnered by dry hopping (especially with “noble hops''). 100% Hallertau Mittlefrüh hops with 100% Epiphany Modern Pilsner malt.

ABV: 5.0%

It’s finally New England IPA season at GCB and we’re starting with a banger. Slightly more bitter than most Hazy’s, Cactus Chuck, is a little prickly, but we think you’ll like it. Made with only Cashmere hops in the boil to give it a smooth and full flavor profile. Then to throw it over the top we dry hopped with a large of combo of Mosaic, Strata, and Nelson Sauvin to give you the dankest fruit forward beer possible.

ABV: 6.5%

Dr. Dude is in the house! This classic West Coast style IPA is named after one of our favorite 90’s pinball machines in the taproom. El Dorado hops gives the backbone of this beer a tropical, hard candy like sweetness balanced by added Citra hops that highlight aromatic elements of grapefruit, lime, and pineapple.

ABV: 7.0%
