This dry, drinkable ode to Sauvignon Blanc wine is brewed with Pilsner and a touch of oats and fonio malt. 100% New Zealand hops were used in the kettle (Motueka and Nelson Sauvin) and the result was fermented with a special bioengineered yeast strain that creates aromas of passion fruit and guava. This beer is meant to be intensely fruity on the nose, and yet dry on the palate. Named in honor of Meredith Zielke's love for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine and our zeal for her.

Jazz Pipe is made with 100% German Pilsner malt, and uses only US Pahto, Citra, Strata and New Zealand Nectaron hops. It pours a clear gold color topped by a frothy white head that leaves lacing on the glass. The aroma is packed with notes of citrus fruit, pineapple, and dank stuff. The flavor follows with orange-lemon creamsicle, pineapple, and a punchy bite, leaving the palette with a long, lingering bitterness (though not harsh). Smooth, and dangerously drinkable!

This copper-colored amber lager pours clear and inviting, with a smooth, medium body that strikes a perfect balance between malt richness and subtle hop character. Faint aromas of black currant and gentle herbal notes rise from the glass, adding intrigue without overpowering. On the palate, toasted malt flavors provide a warm backbone, while the delicate hop presence lends just enough bitterness to keep it crisp and highly drinkable. A refined, flavorful lager made for easy enjoyment.

Brewed as an homage to our storefront neighbor Central Camera, a 120-plus year old establishment that is a 3rd generation family-run business. Out of Focus IPA is simple in nature, but delivers on what many so enjoy about this style: all the hoppy, juicy flavor with none of the bitterness. For our version, we use Citra, Sabro, Dolcita and HBC 472 hops to punch up the flavors of coconut, strawberry, ripe melon and pineapple. The malt is a mix of pale, pilsner, oats, wheat and dextrin malt. (Also available in 16oz cans for on-site or to-go)

Wanting to make something other than an IPA for our wet-hop beer this year, we took inspiration from English Pale Ales. 100% of our malt came from Great Lakes Malting, who source all their grain from Michigan farmers. We gave this beer a sizeable charge of fresh picked Chinook hops from our friends at Hop Head Farms. The result is a golden orange beer with a rich pineapple hop aroma, filled with resinous oils and a touch of dank green grass. The flavor has a hint of the signature English Ale yeast underneath the fresh hops. The bitterness is mild, not as aggressive as an IPA, but finding a nice balance in the middle.

Celtic Cocoa is the result of a question: what would an Irish Stout taste like if you replaces all the roasted barley with Dark Chocolate Malt instead? The result is this delightful, drinkable, chocolatey stout that is missing any of the typical roasted burnt malt flavors of the style and instead brings out a silky smooth light bodied finish. Almost completely opaque black, there is a light ruby red tinge in the highlights of the glass. The beer is topped by a brown head that lingers and clings to the glass. The aroma is primarily bakers chocolate, toasted bread, and earthy hops. The flavor follows suit, and delivers a dry chocolate flavor up front, with just a slight level of bitterness to balance the malt. The finish is light, dry and smooth.

Inspired by a Mezcal Paloma, we took a Gose base recipe, and added oak-smoked wheat malt and grapefruit peel to give us a more nuanced experience that marries smoke, salt and tartness in a unique, refreshing, patio-friendly beer. This beer is incredibly good for pairing food with, and will also make a killer beermosa with grapefruit juice!

A vibrant gold body with a light sheen, topped by a frothy, off-white head. The aroma is filled with notes of fresh baked country bread, light clover honey, and grassy hops. The flavor follows with a light malt sweetness balanced against a mild bitterness. There is a very subtle fruitiness in the finish, thanks to the esters from the yeast. The result is one of the more “lager-like” ales one could ask for.

Our seltzer that is Gluten-free, sugar-free, and additive-free. For this turn as we head into winter, we decided to use citrus fruit as the background flavor for our seltzer. Stay tuned for future iterations!

Moor’s IPA is crisp, providing a subtle grapefruit quality on the front, flavors of pretzel dough and rounds out smoothly with fresh honey malt notes.

Moor’s Helles is a full bodied pale lager that leads with a hint of honeydew melon, harmonizing with subtly spicy and bright German hop flavors for a refreshing finish that is soft, clean and crisp.

Moor’s Imperial Porter is a rich, textured beer with a hoppy nose complimented by the scent of lavender and blueberry. The palate brings home the flavors of roasted chocolate and ground coffee.

This deep chestnut brown beer is the result of a four-way collaboration with the Design Museum of Chicago, Beer Culture Center, Buckledown Brewing and Industry Ales. We started with a prompt: make a beer that pays homage to beer's collective past while looking forward to our future. We decided on brewing a relatively obscure beer style that was in fashion around post-Prohibition era, the Half & Half. Often this was half porter and half pale ale. So in designing these two beers that were destined to be blended, we made a porter utilizing flaked Kernza (a perennial grain that can be harvested for several years without replanting, that has an incredible root structure to help prevent soil erosion) and a pale ale utilizing Fonio (a savannah grass that is incredibly draught tolerant and related to millet). The hops used in both beers were all part of the USDA's hop growing trials, which are publicly available hops that are bred to be more disease resistant, have better yield, and are proven in brewhouses all around the country for market appeal. The pale ale features Vista and Vera, while the porter features Pahto and HBC 472.

We partnered with Go Brewing to create our very own non-alcoholic beer. We took inspiration from a historic beer style from Germany, the Lichtenhainer. Originally a smokey wheat beer that cam in under 4% ABV, we thought it would translate well to an NA beer given it's light percentage anyway. The result is a light, zippy, gently smoked beer that brings interesting flavor profiles together.

This critically acclaimed tropical IPA bursts with mango and peach flavor with a backdrop of hops. Perfect for getting into a sunshine state of mind.

Brewed with traditional German ingredients, including Hallertau Mittelfruh hops and German malts, this award-winning NA pilsner delivers.

Modern hard cider. Dry, crisp, and tart, like a glass of Granny Smith.
