We don't intend on being a one-note brewery and are constantly pushing ourselves to do more. Our tap list will feature a variety of styles, stouts, and IPA's being more common, but we make a lot of sours and porters as well. We consider our beers forward thinking, and we don't always brew to style. Somehow, we won a gold medal for our pilsner though, so we can follow the rules if we want to.
