Germinator Doppelbock: A German-Style “Double” Bock
With hints of alcohol in the nose to complement the clean, malty flavor of this “liquid bread” beer; Munich and Pilsen malts are lagered for months to produce rich, caramel undertones and a slight fruity finish. ABV 6%

A smooth English-Style Strong Ale with hints of First Gold hops and warm notes of toffee and raisins. The 9% ABV in this not-so-session brew is balanced well by the residual sugars from Munich malt.

Test Batch #1: An American Pale Ale
Really, our first commercial batch (brewed in Nov. ’09) was so good that we’re keeping it in the rotation. Pale malt, an English blend yeast and German hops were combined and Craggie’s pale ale was crafted with a tart bitterness and lingering herbal hoppyness. ABV 4.2%
