Apple Brandy Softly Spoken

We like to speak softly here at Brothers, letting our beer project what we want to communicate. And sometimes, if we want to raise our voice a little, we throw our Barley Wine, Softly Spoken, into Apple Brandy barrels to age. Apple Brandy flavored Softly Spoken features a malt flavor and smoky background, with a sweet, fruity bite and belly warming feel. Speak softly, drink confidently.

Astronaut Ice Cream

NASA astronauts are banned from drinking alcohol in space.  While we understand the need to stay sober in orbit, we think that some Astronaut Ice Cream could go a long way while your feet are firmly planted on the ground.  based off of our cosmic  Great Debate, Astronaut Ice Cream is an Imperial Milk Stout with flavors accentuated with flavors of raspberry and almond.  It won’t take you to space, but it will help get your head in the clouds.

Heaven’s River

The Milky Way, in all its vast expanses, is known as the River of Heaven in Japanese folklore.  When we look up at night, we can’t disagree with their interpretation.  Based off of our galactic Great Debate, Heaven’s River is an Imperial Milk Stout featuring chocolate, rich creaminess, and a subtle background sweetness accentuated with flavors of coffee and coconut.  Let the river flow, from our taproom to your glass.

Raspis

Dead languages can inspire very lively beers. Raspis is a Brown Sour Ale named after the Latin word for “raspberry”, which this beer knows a lot about; it’s flavored with heaps of them, after all. Full of sharp and zesty flavor and flowing with dark and cloudy fruit, Raspis is complex and worthy of your time, much like the language it pays homage to. Respect thy etymological elders, drink good beer.

Aggregate Species

Aggregate Species is a collection of ingredients and flavors, coming together to form a cohesive but intricate beer. A Brown Sour Ale at its core, Aggregate Species features blackberries and currants to complement the gentle malt notes found in each sip. With a collection of dark fruit supplementing this delicately sour ale, Aggregate Species is a beer that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Ceresia

Latin for “cherry”, Ceresia is a red sour ale aged on that most decadent of fruits. Featuring a playfully tart body, this ale adds sharp, sweet, and sugary notes from its aging process with cherries. Sour connoisseurs will immediately appreciate Ceresia’s tart character, while newcomers will be welcomed in by its fruity balance. Ceresia is a field in full bloom, bearing fruits to celebrate the season’s bounty.
