All Beers Made
Below is a listing of beers brewed by Brewery Creek since we opened.
Amber Ale
A deep reddish amber color, moderate hop level, balanced toward the malt side.
Blonde
Brown Stout
Dark Mild
To quote Dr. John Harrison, a great influence on my brewing, "Mild ale is the only beer with an uninterrupted history from medieval times to the present day." The "mild" means low hop bitterness, "...which is the only essential feature of a mild ale." They can be light or dark in color, high or low in alcohol, dry or sweet. This is difficult for modern style wiennies to grasp. How can one style be so many things? How can I judge it good or bad?. The current Brewery Creek Dark Mild is medium brown, soft hops and about 3.5% abv. It could be a bit more estery. It is a lovely style.
Dortmunder
Dunkel Weiss
A darker version of the Kristal Weiss with more malt types as well. Maybe it should be called and Amber Weiss? Should be on line by the second week of August.
Ebony Porter
Farmhouse Ale
Golden Ale
A golden ale, light in color, brewed as a "cream ale". Moderately hopped and refreshing and about 5% abv.
Helles Lager
Irish Stout
"Guinness" is the prototype of all modern stouts. Many people, however, don't realize that there are different varieties of "Guinness" brewed around the world. "Draught Guinness* and "Foreign Extra Stout" are the two primary types brewed in Ireland. Foreign Extra is the one I have emulated. It is closer in style to the London Porters of old than to modern stout. Very dark and rich, not as dry as Draught, about 6% abv and around 60 IBUs (that's hop bitterness). I used "First Gold" hops because that's what I could get. Guinness use Nitrogen mixed with carbon dioxide to dispense their stout which adds to the creamy mouth-feel. BTW: The "Imported" Guinness you buy here in the US comes from Canada. It could just as well be brewed in the US but the common wisdom in the brewing world is that Americans prefer "imported" beers and will pay more for them.
ISB
Keeping Ale
Kristal Weiss
A Bavarian style wheat beer, with all the classic flavors of clove, and fruit and bubble gum. We filter out most of the yeast making it similar to an Ausrian Kristal Weiss. And yes, you can have a slice of lemon if you want...
Lemon Shandy
A classic drink of the British Islanders, beer and lemonade. Alth0ugh the modern Brits and Ausies use Seven up (gasp!) we are more traditional with the 'ol lemonade and some lime. Sweetish, and sourish, and beery and refreshing.
Mahagonny
Old Ale
Porter
This porter is based on a recipe from the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Schwartzbier
Scotch Ale
