Made with Michigan grown Malts and Hops, this beer is a pure taste of home. Whether you were born and raised in the great Mitten or are a transplant, this beer just feels right to you. Barley grown at West Acres Farms in the thumb and malted in Shelby Township provide a wonderful malt backbone characteristic of English Pale Ales.

Who doesn’t like a mix of sweet and spicy? Throw in a hint of smokiness and it’s time for a cookout. That’s where our Chipotle Amber comes in. This American Amber Ale marries the sweetness of an Amber ale and the savory smokiness and spice of Chipotle pepper. The Chipotle powder used is locally made at Red Goose Spice Co in Sterling Heights.
July Releases:
Belgo-Dutch Coffee Stout $34.45 (All-Grain) * $50.45 (Extract)
ABV 6.7% * SRM 37 * IBU 43 * OG 1.072 * FG 1.017
There is a new maltster in town and they hail from the Netherlands. Coming with them is a wonderful new Coffee malt so naturally we are introducing a new stout. But since this is a new European malt, it can’t be any ordinary stout. We’ve taken some inspiration from their neighbors to the south and threw in a Belgian twist. Utilizing the qualities of Belgian yeast and the coffee malt, this aromatic and flavorful stout is a delightful twist on a beloved style.
AzaccAttack Grapefruit IPA $53.55 (All-Grain) * $60.00 (Extract)
ABV 6.7% * SRM 5 * IBU 55 * OG 1.065 * FG 1.014
The extraordinarily popular Azacca Hops are available for homebrewers now and what better way to get the word out than to pair them in a kit with another new Cap N Cork addition, the delicious and tropical El Dorado hops. And if that wasn’t enough citrus and tropical flavors, we’ve added a grapefruit puree to the mix to create an this tropical. Citrus hop bomb that’s sure to make your mouth pucker and beg for another.
