THE CORE FOUR

GUNNY GOLD KÖLSCH

5.1% ABV | 22 IBU’s
For this recipe we wanted to go traditional and capture the character of beers brewed in Köln, Germany. The light grain bill, hearty kettle additions of Saaz and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, and a German ale yeast make for a delicate and balanced beer. This beer pours a crystal-clear and light gold with a white head. Herbal and spicy hop aromas open up into a light, grainy-sweet body with a crisp finish.

GREEN GATE IPA

6.7% ABV | 85 IBU’s
A West Coast IPA for hopheads and folks looking to expand their palate. We load this beer with Citra and Mosaic hops throughout the boil, whirlpool and dry hopping. Fresh pine and grapefruit dominate the aroma with peach and dank cannabis making an appearance. Light grain, and faint caramel give balance through the body and lead to a stone fruit and citrus rind finish with a pleasant bitterness that lingers long after the last sip.

ANTHRACITE AMBER ALE

6.1% ABV | 25 IBU’s
An iconic style throughout the American Craft Beer Revolution, Amber Ales are balanced and approachable. Our amber ale continues this great tradition. Look for toast, biscuit and subtle piney hop aromas, a smooth body of caramel and bread crust, and a finish that is rounded out with toasted caramel and a balanced bitterness.

SOL'S ESPRESSO STOUT

6.0% ABV | 33 IBU’s
Our boldest year-round offering is brewed in collaboration with Tributary Coffee Roasters. They roast a special espresso blend just for this beer! Espresso dominates the aroma with roasted malt and beautiful chocolate. The medium body is balanced with sweet caramel notes and dark chocolate with a bright espresso finish. Goes great with breakfast or your favorite dessert!

Ruby waves- raspberry american wheat ale

5.2% ABV | 15 IBU’s
Spring has sprung, and so has this vibrant beer! We crafted an effortlessly refreshing American Wheat Ale, infused with over 270 pounds of luscious raspberry purée post-fermentation, delivering a strikingly unique pinkish-purple hue that’s as delightful to the eyes as it is to the taste buds. The grain bill is a harmonious balance of 50/50 Monte Vista, CO-grown wheat and 2-row barley, giving this beer a silky-smooth and easy-drinking body. Delicately hopped with floral German Tettnang hops, and fermented with a clean American Wheat Ale yeast strain, this beer is a celebration of crisp, bright flavors and a juicy, raspberry-forward finish. Just perfect for welcoming warmer days!

SEASONAL BEERS

graham finale- barrel aged pecan pie imperial stout

11.5%ABV | 49 IBU’s

In collaboration with our good friends at Left Hand Brewing Co., we brewed a big, bold, and fun dessert inspired imperial stout with 30 pounds of organic graham crackers in the mash tun and over 20 lbs of toasted pecans in the kettle, then layered 25 more pounds of toasted pecans in the fermenter. This delectable liquid was brewed with a complex grain bill consisting of our favorite blend of caramel and specialty malts, toasted barley, roasted barley, and golden naked oats. We doubled down on this flavor profile by barrel aging it for 13 months in DeerHammer American Single Malt Whiskey (ASMW) barrels. Aromas of chocolate, pecan and a hint of barrel character emanate into the nose. Rich and complex flavors of pecan, caramel, graham cracker, combined with barrel character of toast, dark cocoa, and coconut. This one of a kind beer is a must try!

Signal Peak Shandy
lemon/tangerine german lager

4.4% ABV | 12 IBU’s

We’ve got one more tasty treat for our thirsty friends as the summer in Gunnison Valley comes to an end - our first Shandy! Or is it technically called a Radler? - Starting with a traditional, easy-drinking German Lager brew, we added fresh lemon & tangerine puree and have come out with our MOST CRUSHABLE fruited light lager on tap to date. Using the most recently harvested Tettnanger hops and authentic German heirloom barley, this beer is undoubtedly crisp, clean, and tangy due to the citrus fruit additions without being overly sweet.

The Matron Barrel Aged Imperial Chocolate stout

11.4% ABV | 36 IBU’s
Dessert in a glass! One of our favorite liquids we produce- The Matron. We start with an Imperial Stout base and add copious amounts of Haitian cacao nibs that add notes of brown sugar, vanilla, and fudge to this already delicious beer. We then age it in DeerHammer American Single Malt Whiskey barrels for 12 months. The outcome is phenomenal! Flavors of burnt toffee, pecan, chocolate and rich vanilla are extracted from the aging process. Available in Crowlers® too!

Radiant Realm Hazy ipa

7.0% ABV | 35 IBU’s
A new beer from HABC! Radiant Realm brings together Krush and Enigma hops for a one of a kind hazy IPA. Huge stone fruit, citrus and diesel flavors are balanced with copious addtions of flaked wheat and oats. Very light on IBU's this beer is approachable even for non hopheads! Get yourself a glass!

town run american lite lager
5.0% ABV | 17 IBu’s

Town Run is brewed with the finest German heirloom barley that contributes bold malt flavor that we balanced with noble Hallertau Mittelfruh hops and a touch of non-GMO flaked maize. Enjoy this crisp, clean, and crushable light lager on your next town run on the Gunni!
