KING OF THE RAFT

​

Juicy IPA

5.8% ABV - 40 IBU

​

Throw out your previously held beliefs about IPAs.  This hazy style originated in New England and has very little hops bitterness.  The heavy late additions of Citra and Mandarina hops make this citrusy and juicy without the bitterness that comes from earlier hop additions. 

THE HERBERT

​

Grapefruit Shandy

5.3% ABV - 50 IBU

Our Six O'clock Whistle mixed with a splash of tart and tangy grapefruit juice.  The hops and citrus from the juice balance nicely to make a delicious shandy with restrained bitterness.

PRIMOS

​

Mexican-Style Lager 

4.2% ABV - 22 IBU

​

Hefeweizen

 4.6% ABV - 10 IBU

CROOKED LAKE CREAM

​

Cream Ale

4.7% ABV - 18 IBU

SIX O’CLOCK WHISTLE

​

Michigan IPA

6.6% ABV - 75 IBU

DEWEY LAKE MONSTER

​

Belgian IPA

8.4% ABV - 75 IBU
