Batiste Bavarian-style Pilsner | ABV: 5.0% IBU: 41

Well it’s hot out. And it’s been hot. And it looks like it’s going to stay hot. Might as well kick back and enjoy a few pints of ‘Batiste’ in our taproom. That’s right, after a long hiatus, our Bavarian-style Pils is back on tap and tasting oh so perfect for this summer weather. This time around we brewed ‘Batiste’ with Weyermann Specialty Malts Barke Pilsner malt and boat loads of Tettnang Tettnanger and some very special Tettnang-grown Mittelfrüh hops. We fermented ‘Batiste’ super cold with a classic German lager strain and spunded the tank near the end of fermentation for 100% natural carbonation. This Bavarian-style Pils then rested in one of our horizontal lagering tanks for six weeks, allowing the delicate hop and malt flavors to come into balance and for the beer to naturally clarify. We’re getting lots for freshly cut hay, clover, crackery malt, wildflower honey, lemon zest and subtle heather.

Denim American-style Ale | ABV: 4.9% IBU: 14

‘Denim’ our American Lager is back and reimagined as a more flavorful but still supremely crushable golden lager. We’ve traded the largely neutral flaked corn of previous batches for characterful, Virginia-grown and locally-malted Buena Vista Yellow corn from our friends at Murphy & Rude Malting. We then hopped ‘Denim’ with Czech Saaz & German Hallertau Mittelfrüh for subtle hop flavor and restrained bitterness. This corn lager was fermented with one of our favorite German lager yeasts, spunded for natural carbonation, and then cold conditioned for six weeks. We get notes of freshly milled nixtamal, French baguette, lightly toasted crackers, mowing the lawn, subtle marjoram, and poolside naps.

ONLY WANNA BE WITH EWE New Zealand Hazy IPA | ABV: 6% IBU: low

Dolphins may not make us cry, but having this hazy IPA return to our taps sure does bring us tears of joy.  A base of Murphyr & Rude Malting pale 2 row malt keeps the color light while copious amounts of malted wheat and flaked oats provide welcome fluffiness & a silky mouthfeel. Fermented with a classic haze positive ale strain from Vermont & hopped with Riwaka T90 & Riwaka Cryo at rates that will make our accounting team raise a collective eyebrow, ‘Only Wanna Be With Ewe’ explodes out of the glass with heady, hyper-tropical aromas.  All of these ingredients come from different worlds, but we’ve gotta say, we’ve been looking for an IPA like Ewe. We get tons of mango, kiwi, and passionfruit sorbet on this one.

HOUNDSTOOTH Ordinary Bitter | ABV: 3.4% IBU: 26

Houndstooth, a staff and customer favorite, is back on tap and ready for all of your lunch beer needs. As with previous iterations, we mashed our award-winning Ordinary Bitter with floor-malted Maris Otter, Golden Naked Oats, and just a little bit of Crystal 80 the hopped with with East Kent Goldings and First Gold. Low abv, subtle esters and balanced bitterness make this supremely crushable British-inspired ale perfect for enjoying any time. This beer pours a deep and satisfying gold color. We get notes of apricot jam, pizza crust, water crackers, white tea, tobacco blossoms and a moreish quality that keeps us reaching for another pint.

POLO TEE Polotmavé | ABV: 4.7% IBU: 37

‘Polo Tee’ Polotmavé, our Czech-style amber lager, is the first of a few Czech-inspired lagers you’ll see hitting our taps over the coming weeks. For this one we utilized an enhanced double decoction mash regimen and selected two types of floor-malted Bohemian barley along with a small amount of crystal malt and roast malt. ‘Polo Tee’ is hopped entirely with Czech-grown Saaz & follows a very traditional hopping schedule to yield a beer with balancing bitterness & subtle hop flavor. We fermented this one oh so cold and spunded it before moving it to one of our horizontal lagering tanks to cold condition for six weeks. We’re getting notes of rustic bread crust, Amaro Nonino, subtle minerality, warm baking spices, and graham cracker.

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.
