Ale aged in fouder and red wine barrels

A blend of wood aged ales, fermented with multiple yeast strains including our house wild yeast harvested from our gardens and brettanomyces.

Dark mixed-culture saison

Brewed with a roasted wheat that Troubadour Maltings roasted specifically for this beer, it is fermented with two saison strains, and dry hopped with English hops.

Belgo-American IPA (Single Origin Farmhouse Ale)

A golden copper hue offers aromas of grainy-malt with caramel/toffee notes layered with yeast spice and subtle hop resin tones. Fruit notes of dried peach and mango.

Saison

Farmhouse Ale fermented with a Saison culture and three Brettanomyces strains, dry hopped with Jarrylo, Galaxy, and Mosaic, prior to being naturally bottle conditioned with wild yeast.

Biere de Garde Artisan Ale Primary Fermented in Oak

Belgian IPA with Brettanomyces

Belgian IPA fermented with 13 strains of Brettanomyces and dryhopped at 2 pounds per barrel with Galaxy and El Dorado.

Blend of 3 barrels of Saison, High Gravity Farmhouse Ale and Comrade Collaboration.

Belgian-style Quad aged in Rum Barrels

Teaming up with Good Bugs Fermentation project and Inland Island Yeast, we created a Belgian Style Quad with a unique Belgian yeast blend. We custom blended it with one year-old Quad aged in Rum Barrels from our cellars.

Modern IPA

This variation of a modern IPA leans very heavily towards an New England-style interpretation, delivering huge hop flavor and aroma but without being incredibly bitter. Oats and wheat provide a silky and full mouthfeel while providing a pleasant biscuit-like counterpoint to the hops and contribute to the hazy appearance. We altered our fermentation protocol to get the yeast to express more of the ester profile and heavily dry hopped with predominantly southern hemisphere hops to bring out tropical flavors and get us close to approximating the flavor of a mango.

Dry Hopped Bier De Garage

A tart Bier De Garage (mixed culture fermentation brewed in Odd13's garage brewhouse) with microflora selected to bring together fermentative qualities reminiscent of strawberry. The fruitiness and white pepper derived from the yeasts are matched by clean lactic acidity and shaped by Belma hops to orient this beer toward tart red berries.

Quadruple aged on Cherrywood

A Belgian Abbey-style quadrupel, aged on Cherrywood. Lush specialty Belgian grains, a touch of brewers’ sugar and monastic yeast intermingle to express classic dark fruit notes that has made the style a benchmark for centuries. Aging on exotic Cherrywood compliments the yeast esters nicely and lends a pleasantly dry finish.

Brett IPA

It’s really good!

Spontaneous Sour Ale

This spontaneous ale begins as most all of our beer does - it cools overnight in the coolship and is immediately transferred to neutral French oak where it ages for a minimum of 6 months to a year. Using a blend of three barrels that were filled last Fall, we added a light amount of hops for highlighting followed by blending in less than 1% of 3-year spontaneous beer aged on Montmorency and Balaton cherries. We were inspired by hints of fresh tilled soil, sweet grass and wild flowers in our tasting that every layer of this blend was thoughtfully applied to amplify those flavors created through our natural microbe cultures of Denver.

Saison

A traditional saison with notes of clove, banana, and black pepper. Finishes very dry with hints of fruit and spice. The name comes from the French word for pestle, as in a mortar and pestle used to grind spices. We decided on French as an homage to the Franco-Belgian tradition of saisons.

100% Brett fermented Kettle Sour

This sessionable 100% Brett fermented Kettle Sour is tart with notes of citrus and grapefruit rind complemented by a funky, barnyard aroma and flavor.

Smoked Beer of Marginal Quality

​Experimental Mediterranean smoked amber beer. We smoked the malt with olive wood and olive pits then added Rosemary and sun-dried tomatoes. If I knew where the Mediterranean was, I'm sure drinking this beer would take me there.
