Brew Menu - Michigan Beer

 

Arcadia Brewery
Whitsun is a modern interpretation of a mid-19th century English spring and summer festival ale. It has a translucent orange color capped with a rich, creamy head, full-bodied and has a lightly toasted caramel flavor. The addition of Michigan honey contributes a uniquely smooth drinkability to this unfiltered wheat ale.


Our Nut Brown Ale is a full bodied English-style brown ale with a deep mahogany color. We use six different types of premium malted barley to create a flavor that includes hints of chocolate, raisins, dates and almonds. The malty sweet finish is balanced by a smooth bitterness and a subtle fruitiness in flavor and hop aroma.

 

Dark Horse Brewery
Amber Ale:

Let us introduce the “red headed step child” (no offense) of our beer portfolio. This beer is commonly over looked and is a true Ninja of a beer. While the malt and hops give this beer  an amazing copper color, medium body, and a smooth mouth feel, it’s the yeast that sets this one apart from other amber ales. Inspired by almost everything from Belgium (beer, women, mussels) we thought it would be cool to give our Amber a little Belgian love. So we used a yeast that is ALMOST like a Belgian yeast strain. You’ll notice it in the aroma but mostly in the flavor. Mild hints of light fruit and clove are present at the very end of the sip,  just enough to keep you coming back for another sip.
ABV 5.5%

Crooked Tree I.P.A
Inspired by West Coast I.P.A.’s, but brewed with Michigan style. The Crooked Tree is heavily dry hopped to give it a big aroma of pine and citrus. The flavors are big, yet very balanced between fresh hops and malt. Often described as“grapefruit” our hops give this beer an excellent fruit flavor that finishes dry, crisp, and clean. It will pour a nice deep copper color with a bit of haziness. Because of our almost patented “Intense Transfer Methods” our Crooked Tree has won several medals in the India Pale Ale category.
ABV 6%

Raspberry Ale
A lot of people have asked us “why are there Bee’s on the label?” Well, we don’t really have an answer for you other than they just look cool. This is a light bodied easy drinking ale. We only use real raspberries so the flavor is very mild fruit and balanced, not what you would expect from a “fruit” beer. The way we see it is we’re brewers so lets make good beer, not some fruity carbonated malt beverage. Oh yeah, our motto...”beer first fruit second” ABV 5%

Sapient Trip Ale
Why is the Grim Reaper holding a mailbox? Well, that mailbox is from a dead Dark Horse beer. The Grim Reaper better know as “Death” was quite found of our classic Sapient Summer Wheat Ale.  When we changed it into a Belgian Style Triple, Death thought it would only be appropriate to bring something from that beer into this beer. So he picked the mailbox,  and we weren’t about to argue with him. You can say what you want about him, but that Death sure has a big heart. So anyway...we brewed this beer with a Trappist yeast strain so it is very traditional. The flavors are incredibly complex with notes of mild fruit and finishes with a bit of clove. Although this beer is higher in alcohol it is
very  smooth and finishes dry on the pallet. ABV 8.5%
