Happy Thanksgiving and a big thanks to Neltner's Farm for giving the perfect pumpkins! This year's annual pumpkin ale batch was a healthy 40 gallons of our beloved recipe. A malty sweetness is complimented by a traditional spice blend and fresh gourd. 6.5% alc/vol

It's that time of year again! As always, a sincere Thank You to Neltner's Farm in Camp Springs, KY for donating these to the brew. We'll turn them into a barrel of our traditional Pumpkin Ale. Hints of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove will compliment these freshly roasted beauties. The medium bodied beer is clear with a warm harvest amber color. A balanced roasted gourd sweetness finishes off with our traditional pie spices.

It's been awhile since we've posted anything, so we thought our recent Walter's Award would be a good reason to do so! Saucy, our Tabasco Inspired Stout, took home a bronze yesterday! This is no small feat and we are proud to be recognized in this competition of innovation, inspiration and imagination.

While quiet over the last few months, we have been working feverishly to develop new brews and help train new brewers. Current recipe experiments include an American Marzen, a Session Stout and a variation on our award winning Roggenbier.

Cheers!

Cincinnati, get ready for the 2013 Neltner Series Pumpkin! This perfectly balanced beauty is our celebration of local produce from Neltner's Farm in Camp Springs, Ky.
A little squash and a little spice go all the way in this humble brew. No chewing on a gourd, no drinking a cup of cinnamon. This brew is all about harmony.
Cheers!

Chicago, get ready for 5 gallons of Elwood American Brown Ale. We just finished the brew session and it's fermenting away. Cheers!

We have fermentation!

Our Dockside Revival last Sunday was a huge success. Both test batches are headed in the right direction. The winner of the two experiments will eventually move on to the big rig for larger production. No, not the typical Fall styles, but happiness none the less. See the DOCKet for details.

We are also excited to announce the 3rd annual Neltner Series Pumpkin will soon rear it's spicy head. Always a crowd pleaser, our Neltner Series Pumpkin starts with roasting flawless squash from Neltner's Farm in Camp Springs, Kentucky. Go there, it is a magical place.

Sour Hour was Sweet! There were so many happy faces offering stellar feedback on our Bordeaux Blonde. Thanks to all who could attend. It was our honor to share such a special brew with you.

This barrel-aged beauty was a collaboration with Brian St. Clair, Travis Gortemiller and, of course, the Dockside crew.

It's brew day in Chicago as we cook up a Light Hybrid Blonde Ale in hopes of summoning some warmer days. It will be our first batch of this 5.5% ABV light and crisp brew. Cheers!
