We've been inspired by many different breweries and beers, some from Belgium, and some not. As strong as these influences are, we're mostly driven by experiences of flavor. Sweet potato pie, Thai food, the intense aroma of freshly picked lavender, among many others, are our primary influences. All of our beers are 100% bottle conditioned, unfiltered, and unpasteurized. We create complex flavors from simple ingredients, and commit to producing our beer in the most wholesome of ways.

Orchard White is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned Belgian-style witbier. This hazy, straw yellow beer is spiced with coriander, citrus peel and lavender added to the boil and whirlpool. A spicy, fruity yeast strain is used to add complexity, and rolled oats are added for a silky texture.

Black Orchard is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned Belgian-style black wheat beer, or “black wit”, if you will. This dark but surprisingly light bodied beer is very drinkable while still having character and complexity. Chamomile is added for its floral aroma, while the coriander and citrus peel give the characteristics of a traditional witbier.

Saison Rue is an unfiltered, bottle conditioned, Belgian/French-style farmhouse ale. This is a beer of subtlety and complexity, with malted rye, spicy, fruity yeast notes, biscuit-like malt backbone, and a slight citrus hop character. With age, this beer will dry out and will become more complex with rustic notes of leather and earth from the contribution of a wild yeast strain. Being a Saison, Saison Rue is ambiguous unto itself as it is a different beer when fresh and when aged. We hope you enjoy it in all of its incarnations.

Our Spring Saison is light blonde in color with a fresh hoppiness and a wild and rustic Brettanomyces character. Lighter in color and alcohol than our Saison Rue, yet equally complex in its own way. Perfect for warmer weather and Spring celebrations.

ABV: 6.5%, IBU: 35, SRM: 4, Release: March - May

Our Summer seasonal, Trade Winds Tripel is a Belgian-style Golden Ale with a Southeast Asian twist. Instead of using candi sugar (typical for such a beer), we use rice in the mash to lighten the body and increase the gravity, and spice with Thai Basil. The result is an aromatic, digestible and complex beer made for a lazy summer evening.

ABV: 8%, IBU: 25, SRM: 5, Release: Summer

Brewed with 17 lbs. of yams per barrel (in other words, a lot of yams!), this autumn seasonal is a different take on the “pumpkin” beer style. Brewed with cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla, molasses, and maple syrup, and fermented with our traditional Belgian yeast strain, this bold and spicy beer is perfect on a cold autumn evening.

ABV: 10%, IBU: 25, SRM: 15, Release: Fall

Our holiday beer is a Belgian-style Dark Strong Ale, brewed with our brewery-made dark candi sugar, Munich and Vienna malts. Dark brown in color, fruity and complex with a rich malt backbone. This is a simple yet immensely complex beer meant to be savored and shared with friends and family.

ABV: 12%, IBU: 20, SRM: 20, Release: Winter

The first ever batch brewed by The Bruery, Batch No. 1 is the result of a homebrew contest we held in order to determine our first batch. Loren Miraglia and Mark Graham entered a fantastic Belgian-style Golden Strong Ale that captured the judges attention. Batch No. 1 has a pepper-like spiciness and fruit forward flavors of pear and apricot. It is deceptively potent and will continue improving with age.

ABV: 11%, IBU: 20, SRM: 6, Release: One Time Only

Hottenroth Berliner Weisse
Brewed in memory of my Grandparents (Fred and Sarah Hottenroth), this tart German-style Berliner Weisse is as authentic as it gets. We used lactobacillus and a hint of brettanomyces to sour this very unusual, low gravity wheat beer. To cut the tartness for those with sweeter tastes, raspberry or woodruff syrup is a traditional way to sweeten the beer. Almost an extinct style, we hope to help revive the Berliner Weisse in memory of two great people.

Humulus Bruin
Brewed from the second runnings of our massive Imperial Stout, Humulus Bruin is a hoppy Belgian-style brown ale. Huge amounts of Summit and Sterling hops were added to the whirlpool and as dry hop additions, giving this beer an almost illicit aroma. Up front, hops dominate the �avor but then give way to roasty, toffee-like malt.

ABV: 6.9%, IBU: 25, SRM: 20

Humulus Gold
The “cousin” of Humulus Bruin, Humulus Gold is a Belgian-style Golden Strong Ale hopped generously late in the brewing process with American hops, creating a citrusy, resinous hoppy experience while still preserving the Belgian fruity characteristics.

ABV: 9.1%, IBU: 25, SRM: 4

Humulus Blonde
A hoppy, Belgian-style blonde ale hopped generously late in the brewing process with American hops, producing a piney, smokey hop aroma and crisp citrus bite in a light, quaffable beer.

ABV: 5.5%, IBU: 30, SRM: 3
