All Beers Made

Below is a listing of beers brewed by Brewery Creek since we opened.

Amber Ale

Light and crisp with plenty of flavor. What is it about the name "Amber" that makes it appealing?

Blonde

Brown Stout

Dark Mild

To quote Dr. John Harrison, a great influence on my brewing, "Mild ale is the only beer with an uninterrupted history from medieval times to the present day." The "mild" means low hop bitterness, "...which is the only essential feature of a mild ale." They can be light or dark in color, high or low in alcohol, dry or sweet. This is difficult for modern style wiennies to grasp. How can one style be so many things? How can I judge it good or bad?. The current Brewery Creek Dark Mild is medium brown, soft hops and about 3.5% abv. It could be a bit more estery. It is a lovely style.

Dortmunder

Dunkel Weiss

A darker version of the Kristal Weiss with more malt types as well. You would almost call it AMBER in color... Maybe it should be called and Amber Weiss? Should be on line by the second week of August (2008).

Ebony Porter

Farmhouse Ale

Helles Lager

Irish Stout

"Guinness" is the prototype of all modern stouts. Many people, however, don't realize that there are different varieties of "Guinness" brewed around the world. "Draught Guinness* and "Foreign Extra Stout" are the two primary types brewed in Ireland. Foreign Extra is the one I have emulated. It is closer in style to the London Porters of old than to modern stout. Very dark and rich, not as dry as Draught, about 6% abv and around 60 IBUs (that's hop bitterness). I used "First Gold" hops because that's what I could get. Guinness use Nitrogen mixed with carbon dioxide to dispense their stout which adds to the creamy mouth-feel. BTW: The "Imported" Guinness you buy here in the US comes from Canada. It could just as well be brewed in the US but the common wisdom in the brewing world is that Americans prefer "imported" beers and will pay more for them.

ISB

Jolie Blonde

A golden ale, light in color. Moderately hopped and refreshing and about 5% abv.

Keeping Ale

Kristal Weiss

A Bavarian style wheat beer, with all the classic flavors of clove, and fruit and bubble gum. We filter out most of the yeast making it similar to an Ausrian Kristal Weiss. And yes, you can have a slice of lemon if you want...

Lemon Shandy

A classic drink of the British Islanders, beer and lemonade. Alth0ugh the modern Brits and Ausies use Seven up (gasp!) we are more traditional with the 'ol lemonade and some lime. Sweetish, and sourish, and beery and refreshing.

Mahagonny

Old Ale

Porter

Schwartzbier

Scotch Ale
