Seasonal and Guest Taps
These beers offer us the opportunity to highlight seasonal flavor profiles and what is going on in the brewing industry
Like Minds Exiled
A dry wheat saison, Exiled is designed to showcase one of our favorite Belgian yeast strains. The estery aroma is supported by a malty backbone and rounded out by lemon rind provided by our friends at Rishi Tea. 6.3% ABV
14oz Tulip$7.00
Black Husky Pale Ale
Black Husky Pale Ale, our flagship beer, is a beer worthy of THE Black Husky, Howler. Like Howler, our pale ale does not let others define its style, so while some say it's an IPA we say, "whatever – just drink it already." What it is is an excellent beer! With a straightforward grain bill and hop schedule it is dry-hopped with copious amounts of hops. 7.2% ABV
14oz Tulip$7.00
Louie's Resurrection
This year we have forged a new relationship with Copper & Kings American Craft Brandy and have switched out the bourbon barrels for a Wisconsin favorite, brandy. You can expect a fruitier, more wine like flavor from the brandy barrels to compliment the caramel flavors in the malt bill. Warm hints of vanilla are pulled from the oak. 10.2% ABV
12oz Snifter Glass$7.00
Hop Freak
A collaboration with Milwaukee's own Rishi Tea, this IPA is infused with Organic Jasmine Tea, lending it a sweet, floral aroma. Strong citrus notes come from the generous amount of American hops. Hop Freak was born big and bitter but a sizeable malt bill adds balance to this beast. 8.7% ABV
14oz Tulip$7.00
Left Hand Bittersweet Nitro
Imperial Coffee Milk Stout. Our Big, Aggressive Bittersweet stout is made smooth and even creamier with the help of tiny nitrogen bubbles that are released when you poured hard. The coffee's dark cherry flavors and spicy undertones weave into the rich, imperial milk stout like a chocolate-covered espresso bean melting on your tongue. Bitter then sweet. Sweet then bitter. It's Bittersweet 8.9% ABV
12oz Snifter$7.00
Epic Son of a Baptist
Son of a Baptist is an 8% ABV imperial stout. It is not barrel aged like its father, Big Bad Baptist; instead its flavor profile was designed to highlight the complex and often unique flavors of small batch coffees. Instead of sourcing a coffee that would play well in a beer we sought out creative and innovative roasters, then asked them which beans they're passionate about. Each resulting release of Son of a Baptist is widely different depending on the coffee selected. Some are fruity and sweet with notes of jam and chocolate, others are rich and earthy with a big roasted finish. Each limited release will return to the Roaster's home market where the beer and the coffee can be sampled side by side
These ones you can get whenever. That doesn't mean you should take a casual attitude to partaking in these brews, in fact it should be the opposite, enjoy them year round you must!
O-Gii
O-Gii is a collaboration with Milwaukee's own Rishi Tea, infusing Asian character to this monster wheat beer. The name is a nod to the brewing abbreviation OG, which defines the potential for alcohol level prior to fermentation. 9.2% ABV
Outboard
This Cream Ale is brewed utilizing the top fermenting Ale yeast resulting in a more complex flavor and nose. A very slight hop presence helps round out this simple but refreshing beer. 6.5% ABV
Louie's Demise
Our flagship brand; this medium bodied amber ale starts with a rich malt flourish that's kept in perfect balance by a smooth hop finish. This MBC original is similar to a German style Alt beer. 5.5% ABV
Pull Chain Pail Ale
A hybrid between American and British pale ale styles. American Cascade hops and British East Kent Goldings account for Pull Chain's citrus and earthy flavor aromas, softened by malty undertones. 5.5% ABV
