K-Point Brewing
Vienna Lager 4.9% ABV
"The Vienna Lager has a malty aroma and light malt sweetness with a lightly toasted malt characteristic. The bitterness is low to medium low and finishes clean and crisp.” 

The Brewing Projekt
Dare Mighty Things 7.4% ABV
"Our original hazy IPA. The dare mighty things series features a showcase of one single hop per variant. We really want the unique characteristics of each hop to be on full display in each beer. If you’re in the haze craze, this is the beer for you."

Golden Toast 4.5% ABV
“This beer pours a clear, bright straw yellow to pale-golden color with a creamy white head. Unlike German Pilsners, this Lager is more malt-forward in character, exhibiting bready, toasted grain flavors with only a hint of sweetness.” 

Chippewa River Distillery & Brewster Brothers Brewing
Tilden Weizen 5.2% ABV
"This is a German wheat beer. Made from a mixture of barley and wheat malts, it is fermented with a special yeast strain to produce clove and banana flavor characteristics.”
