VESTED INTEREST Franconian-style Pale Kellerbier | ABV: 5.1% IBU: 35
For this one, we used a blend of Weyermann Specialty Malts Barke Pilsner and Vienna malts & chose to utilize a single decoction mash regimen for a pale, but characterful malt profile. ‘Vested Interest’ was hopped with German-grown Perle and Hersbrucker for classic “noble” hoppiness and restrained citrus notes. Finally, we chose a German lager strain we find particularly great at making kellerbier & spunded the tank near the end of fermentation for 100% natural carbonation. Vested Interest pours a deep gold color with subtle, rustic haze & tenacious white foam. We’re getting notes of chamomile, orange blossoms, honey-dipped graham crackers, fresh bread, and relaxing afternoons spent under a few chestnut trees in a bierkeller.
SIMCOE FOR SARA Hazy IPA | ABV: 6.4% IBU: low
Simcoe for SARA is a Hazy IPA brewed to support our neighbors at the Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA) and to help raise awareness of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. SARA does amazing work in our community by seeking to eliminate sexual violence and its impact by providing education, advocacy and support to men, women and children. Like last year, we hopped this one with tons of Simcoe Cryo and a small amount of Elani, yielding intense citrusy and tropical notes with a subtle piney finish. We get notes of ruby red grapefruit juice, tangerine hard candy, passion fruit popsicles on a sunny day, and dewey conifer boughs.
JORTS XPA (Extra Pale Ale) | ABV: 5% IBU: 65
Sunny days and warmer temperatures are finally here and with the changing of the seasons, sometimes you feel the need to shake up your wardrobe (and go-to beer). With that in mind, we happily present you with our newest hoppy offering, ‘Jorts’ XPA. This crusher of a West Coast pale ale was brewed with a blend of Murphy & Rude Malting base malts and some malted wheat. We hopped ‘Jorts’ in the kettle with boat loads of Chinook, Strata & Idaho 7 CGX then, after fermentation, dry hopped it with more Strata, Idaho 7 CGX and a little Mosaic Cryo. ‘Jorts’ pours pale gold with fluffy, white foam; and finishes dry with substantial but rounded bitterness. We're getting big ol’ notes of zesty clementines, a glass of grapefruit juice on a sunny morning, coniferous forests, blackberries, heavy terps, and seasonal tan lines.
BREAK OUT YOUR WELLIES English-style Dark Mild | ABV: 3.7% IBU: 17
Inspired by both the classics hailing from across the pond and some of the stellar examples brewed here in the States, this one is ready to be your new favorite lunch or post-work beer. Like many of our British-inspired beers, we brewed ‘Wellies’ with a base of Floor-malted Maris Otter and a collection of Murphy & Rude Malting specialty malts. Judicious boil additions of East Kent Goldings, a sessionable 3.7% abv, and the use of a classic ale strain from London bring quintessential British moreishness that practically begs for cask conditioning. We’re getting notes of rustic bread crust, toasted pecans, subtle chicory, tobacco blossom, and dew-sodden forest loam.
THREADENATOR Smoked Doppelbock | ABV: 7.3% IBU: 26
Ah winter; the season of shorter days, frosty mornings, frozen trails, fireplaces and woodstoves. During these colder months, we often find ourselves dreaming of bigger, more robust beers. Enter ‘Threadenator’ smoked doppelbock. At a hefty 7.3% abv, we feel this big lager is perfect for hanging by the fire pit or warming up after a chilly hike. Double decocted and made with Weyermann Specialty Malts beechwood smoked malt and some custom-made cherrywood smoked malt from our friends at Murphy & Rude Malting, this doppelbock exudes luxurious maltiness and pronounced maillard flavors. The blend of smoked malts brings pronounced but approachable levels of smoke that seemingly dance out of the glass each time you go to take a sip. ‘Threadenator’ was hopped with Perle and Hallertau Mittelfruh for subtle noble hop character & fermented with the same Franconian lager strain you’ve heard our head brewer gush over. We’re getting notes of bonfire, cherry pit, booze-soaked medjool dates, crème brûlée, woodfired sourdough and crisp morning walks around Bamberg.
FLANNEL American Stout w. Lactose | ABV: 7.5% IBU: 36
Dark beer fans rejoice! Flannel, our American stout with lactose, returns to the Selvedge taps! We brew this one with Crisp Maltings floor-malted Maris Otter, a litany of specialty malts from Murphy & Rude Malting, and a hefty dose of milk sugar. Built for enjoying during these colder months, Flannel drinks with layered caramel & roasty notes, silky body, and a hefty 7.5% abv. We’ll be playing around with serving this through one of our LUKR faucets, so swing in soon for a pint of “chocolate” milk tube. We’re getting notes of chocolate ganache, mocha latte, and biscoff cookies.
