Product - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Brewed By: 
Sierra Nevada
Self-Defined Style: 
American Pale Ale
Strength (ABV): 
5.6% ABV
Bitterness (IBU): 
38 IBU

Our most popular beer, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, is a delightful interpretation of a classic style. It has a deep amber color and an exceptionally full-bodied, complex character. Generous quantities of premium Cascade hops give the Pale Ale its fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor.

Best With: 
While we think Pale Ale tastes great with everything, its assertive hop flavor goes especially well with spicy cuisine, since its clean flavors counterbalance the richness of many hot dishes. It also goes well with starters and salads, its spicy complexity stimulating both appetites and conversation.

Brewed By: 
Sierra Nevada
Self-Defined Style: 
Extra IPA
Strength (ABV): 
7.2% ABV
Bitterness (IBU): 
70 IBU

Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale is a big American IPA; bold, assertive and full of flavor and aromas highlighting the complex citrus, pine and herbal character of whole-cone American hops.

Best With: 
With a bold emphasis on hop bitterness, India pale ales are the ultimate beverage pairing for spicy dishes. The sharp hop presence in most India pale ales can stand up to even the most devilish of spices in Cajun, Malaysian, Japanese, Indian, and Mexican cuisine.

Best With: 
This English style ale was primarily brewed to go along with all sorts of seafood yet lends itself well with game bird, broth style soups and particularly well with almonds.

Product - Wachusett LARRY Double IPA
Brewed By: 
Wachusett
Self-Defined Style: 
Double IPA
Strength (ABV): 
7.4% ABV

LARRY was originally brewed this summer for the Publick House’s Hop Head Throwdown. David -- owner of the Publick House -- It was such a success in growlers here and at the Publick House, that we brewed another batch to go to speciality accounts. We’ll be putting it in 22’s in March 85 IBUs 5-hops (Simcoe, Magnum, Amarillo, Cascade, Chinook)

Best With: 
The fragrant bouquet and spicy flavor of pale ale lends to this beer’s ideal match with generously spiced foods such as Southern barbeque, wasabi crusted Japanese dishes, and curry based Indian dishes. This style is also the perfect complement to grilled meats, burgers, and pizza.

Rogue Dead Guy Ale

Product - Rogue Dead Guy
Brewed By: 
Rogue
Self-Defined Style: 
Maibock
Strength (ABV): 
6.5% ABV

Gratefully dedicated to the Rogue in each of us. In the early 1990s Dead Guy Ale was created as a private tap sticker to celebrate the Mayan Day of the Dead (November 1st, All Souls Day) for Casa U Betcha in Portland, Oregon. The Dead Guy design proved popular and was incorporated into a bottled product a few years later with Maierbock as the elixir. Strangely, the association with the Grateful Dead is pure coincidence. Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made with Rogue's proprietary "PacMan" ale yeast.

Best With: 
This amber colored ale pairs nicely with brothy soups, salted almonds, game birds and seafood. This brew also offers a nice companion to cheeses and fruits.

Magic Hat
Self-Defined Style: 
Not Quite Pale Ale
Strength (ABV): 
5.1% ABV
Color (SRM): 
9º L
Bitterness (IBU):

A beer cloaked in secrecy. An ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers. A sort of dry, crisp, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. #9 is really impossible to describe because there's never been anything else quite like it.

Best With: 
Best enjoyed with spicy foods and to bring out the spice in life.

Brewed By: 
Julius Echter
Self-Defined Style: 
Weissbier Dunkel
Strength (ABV): 
4.3% ABV

This dark hefeweizen displays a rich, lingering head foam, an amber-hued body, and the subtle aroma of banana and clove. The spicy flavor is enhanced by the silky mouth feel obtained through the use of wheat. The lingering finish yields to subtle roasted malt flavors.

Best With: 
This traditional German dunkel weizen pairs quite well with rich meats such as suckling pig, roast duck, or wild boar.
