Created and brewed as a traditional saison, this beer utilizes a powerful French saison yeast that rips through fermentation, creating a bright effervescent beer. With aromas of light fruit and hops, the flavor moves into a crisp and clean, lightly funky area, finishing with a touch of hop bitterness.
Picture custardy French toast, infused with cinnamon and vanilla, fresh from the griddle and drizzled with warm maple syrup. Now picture that in a glass. Boom. Mind blown.

Reserve Series 2014. Breakfast in a bottle returns this year with one of our favorite morning time treats. French toasted W-n-B combines big maple syrup notes, fresh coffee, and hints of vanilla and cinnamon to stand out among the ordinary Imperial Stout. With this much decadence packed into one bottle, this beer will get you back to the table for another round.
Our pale ale, made with northern and southern hemisphere hops
Created with a passion for flavour and a lust for hops — this is a frisky, fragrant pale ale. Whilst consistency is (rightly) the benchmark of most beers, we’ve gone Wild and thrown away the rulebook on this one.
Every six months we source some of the most interesting hops from the northern and southern hemispheres, which means two hop harvests and two excitingly different hop profiles.
Given the unpredictability of each harvest, you’re guaranteed a punchy hop character alongside an appetising bitterness and a crisp dry finish that will send you back for more.
A French Saison with fresh orange peel, cracked coriander, and fresh cranberries. This beer is a collaboration with our Graphic Designer Scott from Fresh Bread Design. A smooth beer with a slight tart finish from the cranberries. Over 5 lbs per BBL of cranberries in this batch. The Orange Peel was zested the morning the beer was brewed.
Fresh Cut is a sensory experience. It conjures impressions of freshly chopped ingredients, a newly mowed lawn, or the air after a cooling rain. This pale lager delivers captivating notes of fruit, grass and spice - highlighted by the luscious Chinook hop. The beer finishes crisp, dry and refreshing, helping to enhance the colorful flavors up front. Obviously we’re crazy about this beer and had to use a thesaurus to express our feelings about it.
Special hoppy flavors and aromas are captured by adding freshly picked, undired hops during the harvest.
These wet hops impart a character unlike other brews, that is quite unique and satisfying for those who love hops - the spice of beer. Smell the hop fields, smell the freshness.

Fresh Centennials in the fermenter and Sterlings in the brite tank add tropical fruity fresh-hop goodness to this radtastic brew. Harness the Gnar!
An IPA with the balance of our regular IPA. In addition to traditional kettle hopping and dry hopping, this Fresh hop beer was made using mash hopping, first wort hopping and a hop back. Twelve pounds of fresh Amarillo and Centennial hops per keg give this IPA an explosion of fresh hop flavor.
A beer to celebrate the annual Hop Harvest. We blended up a special tank with a mixture of our Columbus IPA & Double IPA. We then packed it with Freshly harvested Centennial Hops from the Pacific Northwest. These hops were picked, flown overnight to California and put into this special brew all within a 24 hour window. Because these hops are completely unprocessed and so fresh, they possess flavor and aroma qualities completely unique to traditionally dried hops. Aromas of pine, grapefruit, fresh-cut grass, citrus and tropical fruit. This is a big beer for the true hop connoisseur.
FRESH HOP IPA - A true hop escapade! To make this beer we took a road trip to Palisade, hand picked 30 lbs of organic Chinook hops, tried our hand at the Hopfenpfluckmaschine, and dreamed up the rest of the brew over beers and a campfire under the stars on the Western Slope. This beer has a huge fresh herb and citrus aroma with a hint of wild flower honey and a dash of adventure.

A brand new IPA recipe for Fernson, designed to showcase local hops. We used 100% Cascade hops, grown by A&A Hops and Hotrods out of Harrisburg, SD. At flameout, we added 154# of whole cone, hops. This gave us a vibrant, juicy, and fresh hop aroma and flavor.

50 pounds of fresh picked wet Cascade hops from Grand Pops Hops, in Marysville, Ohio went into this pale ale. Finishes slightly sweeter than dry hopped ‘Possum run, aromas of fresh grass and malt.
You tell us! Now this is a special beer. Hop harvest comes only once a year and if you're lucky enough to live close to one of the major hop-growing regions of the world (and we are), you can pick up freshly harvested hops from the Willamette Valley of Oregon, bring them home and brew the same day. And that's just what we did. Packed with 100 pounds of Cascade fresh hops, this pale ale is the poster child for freshness. Drink it fast because when it's gone, it's gone!
