More than just a beer to satisfy and soothe – it's an emotional experience. Deepest ruby red and filled with a symphony of malt flavors including caramel, toffee, raisins, and currants that finish with a simple hint of roast and chocolate tones lingering like a half-remembered dream. This gentle giant, balanced with English hops, dominates all senses without destroying the palate. Sexy. As. Hell.

Magic. Adventure. Mayhem. Fluffy bunny hugs. Bluffy hunny fugs. Sunshine farts on a skittle tart. German and English malts stalk one another in the K4 thunder dome, whilst Mosaic and Centennial hops willfully participate in the bloody sugar lust. Two malts enter, one beer leaves. It doesn't take a team of rocket appliances to comprehend that this beer kicks ass.

Happy New Beer! Are you into making an annual list of strategies for personal world peace? Yeah, neither are we. Instead, we decided to cut loose and brew some happy sauce. Double oatmeal (golden malted and raw rolled) creates a smooth body and silky finish. Just the right blend of roasted malts and a double-barrel blast of pure liquid cacao ensure chocolatey transcendence. English Golding hops bring the package hope with subtle sophistication. So rather than focusing on shortcomings, learn to love yourself and perpetually postpone introspection with our proprietary happy sauce and a new mantra: "Diet Starts Tomorrow".

This fermentation is an up-tempo jazz lyric, a ballad for good times reminisced and fond memories waiting to exist. Hull Melon and Hallertau Blanc hops weave a zesty bouquet of strawberry, honeydew melon, white grape, lemongrass, and passion fruit personalities that rejoice like children at recess when set against the bright backdrop of a sophisticatedly simple grain bill. Now is the time to enjoy some distilled sunshine and beat the rhythm of life on your breadbasket.

Wise owls suggest putting the lime in the coconut, then drink 'em both up. Fabulous advice. We were fresh out of those ingredients but had plenty of mango, pineapple, and blackberry, so we put them in the FF- now drink 'em all up!

Nothing says "Let's celebrate America" like taking German stuff and making it better. In the spirit of celebrating American freedom and independence we took two perfectly fine styles of German beer, Berliner Weiss and Kolsch, and smashed them together. Watermelon and 4th of July are interchangeable terms, so we couldn't resist inviting it to the cookout. The result is an incredibly refreshing and crushable concoction that screams, "Beach Beer!

IBU: abbreviation; The International Bitterness Units scale. This scale is used to approximately quantify the bitterness of beer. It is not measured on the percieved bitterness of the beer, but rather the parts per million of the acids found in hops that give beer its bitter bite.

Double the pleasure, double the fun, double it with Double FF! Seriously, we jacked up the hooch and doubled the amount of hops used for original Fantasy Factory. If this doesn't put a smile on your face, there is not a beating heart in your chest.

We know it's summer, but Deep Winter is the prescription for that "special" time of the year every seasoned Midwesterner is more than familiar with. To help the libation bearer break through to Spring thaw, we decided to do a nearly complete substitute of coffee for hops. With genius-level roasts provided by Just Coffee Cooperative, we wish you luck in determining exactly where the ambrosial waves of coffee end and the luscious beer begins.

Fruit juice, hop sap, agave booze.

This pale ale features a refreshing résumé of bright citrus American hops harmonizing with a sugar cookie sweetness donated from Bohemian pilsner malt. The result is a crisp, glass-smooth ale worth repeating.

Flying under the radar and staying cool under pressure preserves a spy's clandestine nature. This English mild takes a page right out of the same field manual: sophisticated, not flashy; refined, not shallow. English malts, English hops, English yeast, and our best Queen's English accent will not leave you disappointed...at least the first three are sure to deliver. Nothing says "international clandestine operative" like the words tortoise and champagne; so put one in your hand today.

Created as a salute to summer, Simply Dusty is like bare feet in warm sand or counting clouds with your favorite folks. The French saison yeast creates a personal flavor fireworks of baked apples, lemony citrus and wintergreen. The finale is a dry, yet silky smooth, mouthfeel wrapped in the calming kiss of chamomile.
