LSD-Late Seasonal Draft

A Northern Californian take on a classic English Extra Special Bitter. Brewed using Maris Otter, light crystal, Vienna malts, and single hopped with Brewers Goldings. It’s a premium brewed fresh quality beer! 5.7% A.B.V.

Platypus Spiced Ale

A strange animal and Belgian inspired spiced amber ale brewed with Pilsner malts, Dark Candi Sugar, and spiced with Fresh Thyme and Bitter Orange Peel. 7.3% ABV.

Edwin’s Winterscotch Ale

This Scottish-Style “Wee Heavy” is brewed annually just in time for the holidays. The Scotch is dark amber in color and has a light smoky caramel taste that dominates the overall flavor. The long finish carries an intense toasted caramel followed by a clean malt balance.  Created by Iron Springs’ own Phil Meeker.  8.5% ABV.

Bonnie Prince Charlie’s 90 -/.

Named after the “Young Pretender” who led the heroic yet unsuccessful Jacobite uprising in 1745 against the British in Scotland. This recipe is a collaboration brew done with Sonoma Beerocrat homebrewer Mike Kelly. This classic styled beer is dark amber in color, lightly hopped in a single addition, and has mild flavors of toasted chestnuts and figs. Very drinkable without tasting very strong in alcohol.  7.1% ABV.

New Beer Creation

Christian has done a collaboration brew with our friends at Beer Revolution, a Chocolate Biere de Garde made with TCHO chocolate and fermented with our kolsch yeast called Revolutionary Garde.  This beer will be on tap February 3rd.
