BREWS ON TAP
LIGHT
Experimental Ale | 6.2 % ABV, 36 IBU
This Experimental Ale draws inspiration from classic West Coast styles, blending classic citrus and bright flavors with a refreshing light body, making it a smooth yet flavorful brew. Perfect for those who appreciate the West Coast’s hop-forward character with a more approachable, easy-drinking feel.
Pickle Pilsner | 4.5% ABV, 12 IBU
Hey, friend! Have you tried BIG ED’S LIL’ PICKLE? It’s refreshing, it’s delicious, and we’re excited to share it with you. This pickle Pilsner is good for any season, whether you’re sitting out on the dock, hunkering down in a fish house, or just looking for that perfect pairing for dinner. Packed with dill flavor and a little bit of spice—and maybe even served with a pickle spear if you ask real sweetly—, we nearly guarantee it’ll wake up the senses and have you coming back for another glass. As Big Ed himself says, “It’s cool.” And he’s not wrong.
Non-Alcoholic Pilsner | ABV: 0.5% IBU: 12
An NA version of our classic Pilsner recipe! This beer is light. This beer is crisp. This beer is refreshing. Whether you are sitting on the porch, just got done mowing the lawn, or warming up next to the bonfire, this will be your next new favorite brew!
MEDIUM
Amber Rye Beer | 5.5% ABV, 20 IBU
When the 8 Goths and 22 Norwegians made the voyage to Minnesota in 1362, we’re pretty sure they were thirsty. The RUNESTONE is an homage to this hotly-debated artifact and symbol of the Alexandria we call home. Much like the Kensington Runestone, this brew’s a little rough around the edges, with a peppery undertone complementing its semi-sweet malt bill. Runestone believer or not, one thing’s for sure: this beer is nothing short of a legend.
Brown Ale | 5.7% ABV, 24 IBU
Nutty. No, not your Aunt Edna. No, not that squirrel that keeps coming back. This Nut Brown Ale is packed full of flavors. The depth of the chocolate malt pairs well with the deep red and brown hues that are put off by this brew. And yes, it is nutty. The hops add a slightly spicy backnote and impart some earthy tones as well. Enough to keep you warm in the winter months of Minnesota, but easy enough to keep you going all night next to the summer bonfire!
Irish Red Ale | 5.8% ABV, 20 IBU
Not your regular corned beef and cabbage…this brew features a toasty caramel aroma, and a reddish-copper hue. The sweet up front and smooth semi-dry finish makes this Irish Red highly complex. It offers smoky hints of fire roast, and an indulgence of smooth, bready, and caramel flavors. This is the local Alexandria favorite.
DARK
Oatmeal Stout on NITRO | 7.8% ABV, 27 IBU
We used an English malt to add some deep caramel undertones, along with pale chocolate malt for sweetness and debittered black malt to add that deep roasty flavor without much astringency. Palisade and Galena hops were utilized to bring in a fruity back note to complement the beer on its finish. All of this is rounded out with a protein chalked dark tan lacey head that clings to the glass all the way to the end. Perfect for these cold winter evenings by the fireplace in the great north.
Whiskey Nut Stout | 7.5% ABV, 33 IBU
This is rich, indulgent brew that combines the warmth of aged bourbon with the deep flavors of roasted mixed nuts and velvety chocolate. Subtle flavors, like blonde coffee and vanilla, add a smooth, aromatic complexity, making each sip a layered experience. With its bold character and warming finish, it’s a perfect choice for those who enjoy rich, whiskey-infused stouts with a deliciously nutty twist.
Collaboration brew with DRASTIC MEASURES BREWING
Barrel Aged Imperial Pastry Stout | 13% ABV, 33 IBU
There’s a new lucky number in town, and it’s a BAKER’S DOZEN! We’ve been waiting a while to debut this barrel-aged beauty, a collaboration brew with our friends at Drastic Measures Brewing in Wadena, MN. At 13% ABV, this is no beer to be trifled with, boasting sweet, decadent notes of hot chocolate and Panther Distillery bourbon from the yearlong aging process.
Bourbon Barrel Porter | ABV: 5.9%, IBU: 21
This beer is complex. This beer has Bourbon. This beer has oak. The bourbon adds a pleasant depth to the beer. The porter completes the journey with a sweet, yet semi-dry chocolaty finish.
HOPPY
Mosaic Pale | ABV: 5%, IBU: 57
As delicious on game day as it is in a deep-winter cabin, NORDIC MOSAIC is our highly drinkable American Pale Ale that proves there’s sweetness in simplicity. Floral, citrusy, and earthy are just a few takeaways from this brew, made with Vienna malt and 100% Mosaic hops to round out a strong hop character and flavor profile. Wherever you enjoy it, this one’s a journey you’ll want to take again and again.
Tropical IPA | 6.4% ABV, 15 IBU
This Tropical IPA is a burst of sunshine in a glass, offering a light bitterness that lets the vibrant tropical flavors shine through. Expect juicy notes of pineapple, mango, and passionfruit, complemented by a smooth body and a crisp, refreshing finish. Perfectly balanced, it’s the ideal beer to enjoy on a warm day or whenever you’re craving a taste of the tropics.
West Coast IPA | 6.8% ABV, 96 IBU
A West Coast IPA will be clear, hoppy, and bitter. HOPPER TRAIL uses Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook hops for a bright, citrusy, and grapefruit finish. It is bitter, but also very malty, so it is very versatile to pair with many foods. Goes great with fish, fried food, or anything that incorporates citrus.
SOURS
Blackberry Raspberry Kettle Sour | 5.6 %ABV, 8 IBU, 3.35 pH
This kettle will take you on a trip through space and time. Once you have it, you won’t want to make it back to present day. All of the sourness around you will disappear and it will only be in your glass! We added raspberries, blackberries, and lactose to make a stellar fruity sour that will be sure to send you into a QUANTUM LEAP! *Hums 80’s theme music to self while drinking.*
