Golden Monkey
Belgian-Style Tripel
A magical, mystical Monkey whose golden soul glows with the wisdom of the ages. This warming, flavored ale is rich in the spirited tradition of Belgian-inspired brewing. Our Golden Monkey is both playfully delightful and profoundly satisfying. Exotic spices from the East round out this global journey to joy. Get on board. This Monkey’s bound for glory!
Composition
Malt: imported 2 row malts
Hops: whole flower European hops and coriander seed
ABV: 9.5%
Flavor
Strong and sensual, this golden Belgian-style ale glows with goodness. The richness of imported malts and Belgian yeast are tempered by a sparkling approach and overall light body. Considerable depth of character with abundant, herbal, fruity notes make this one to savor.
Food Pairings
Sheeps' milk cheeses and seafood
Serving Suggestion
Have the ale chilled below 45° F
Have clean, wide-mouth glasses or chalices ready
Tilt bottle slowly into glass making certain that pour is sufficiently vigorous to raise a foamy head.
Try to avoid pouring the last dregs as the yeast sediment is not the most favorable part of this beer.
Savor the experience slowly as the ale warms.
Availability
Available year-round in 12 oz. bottles, 750 ml caged-and-corked bottles and on draft.

DirtWolf Double IPA
Double India Pale Ale
Darkly heroic, Humulus Lupulus (hops) have empowered brews with bite and character since the 11th century. DirtWolf is a tribute to these untamed vines which rise from the earth with the voracity of a “wolf among sheep.” Hops have made an assertive comeback in American craft brewing. Revel in the best U.S. varieties of hops, in their natural, whole flower form, as they bring a vital, pungent reality to the soul of a wild element in our dangerously satisfying DirtWolf Double IPA.
Composition
Malt: Imported two-row malts
Hops: Whole flower Citra, Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic hops
ABV: 8.7%
Flavor
This dangerously delicious recipe features often subtle, but sometimes assertive signatures of American hop varieties. Look for: Citra: heavy citrus aroma, fruity flavor; Chinook: grapefruit, resinous pine; Simcoe: dry, piney; and Mosaic: earthy and mildly floral, with notes of sweet citrus and spice.
Food Pairings
Burgers, BBQ and hard cheeses
Availability
Available year-round in 12oz. bottles and on draft.
