Tawny Snow – (Zappa / New England Pale Ale). An Ode to one of our favorite legendary artist/musicians, Tawny Snow is smooth and a bit dank. This Special Edition version is a wort share collab with Hidden Wit Brewery. This beer starts with a base wort of Pilsen, Pale & Chit malt to which Malted Oats & Torrefied Wheat is added. Then it’s Hopped with Neomexicanus Hops – Both Neo1 and our singer’s namesake Zappa Hops. Grapefruit peel adds even more citrus character to this incredible brew. Special Edition ABV – 7.8%
Cranberry Wild Rice – This seasonal variation of our wildly popular Lemongrass Wild Rice Ale is something to behold! To a base of Pilsen, Rye and Honey Malt, we add a cereal mash of Minnesota Wild Rice to create a clean, crisp fermenting beer. Mosaic Hops add a touch of bitterness and a bit of Citrus Fruitiness - then Fresh Cranberries in the secondary add color and tartness to this easy drinking gem. Alcohol by volume – 5%
Kolsch – Our special take on a classic golden light German specialty beer; brewed with a hybrid cool fermenting yeast, then cold-conditioned for a smooth refreshing taste. Continental Pilsner, Wheat, Rye and Acidulated malts combined with authentic German Hallertauer Mittelfrueh and Tettnanger hops add to the beer’s complexity. Alcohol by Volume – 4.8%
our flagship beers
Sweet Potato Stout – Our most award-winning brew, Sweet Potato Stout is the flagship beer of Badbrew Brewing Company. Six different malts – including a healthy dose of roasted and dark barley, sweet potatoes, honey, and a touch of maple & nutmeg combine to create an unusual taste experience. A caramel-colored creamy head tops off the beer’s black, silky smooth body. Alcohol by Volume – 7.2%
Bogwater Brown Ale – The most requested beer of Badbrew Brewing Company, Bogwater Brown Ale combines a smooth drinkability with a taste unique amongst brown ales.
