It’s been a long strange trip, and we’re not about to stop now. After six years and four releases of American Beauty, we’re back with an encore … only this time you haven’t heard the melody.

Together with the Grateful Dead, we’re proud to introduce our latest collaborative iteration – American Beauty Hazy Ripple IPA.

Inspired by the Grateful Dead’s beloved “American Beauty” album, American Beauty Hazy Ripple IPA is an unfiltered India Pale Ale brewed with spelt – an ancient heirloom grain that contributes a natural haze – that’s then dosed with a special yeast variety to accentuate hop aromatics.

The result is a psychedelic 7.0% ABV ale that’s bursting with notes of tropical fruit and juicy citrus, while the style callout lovingly references the fan-favorite track “Ripple.”

This big barley wine is a raucous celebration of barley malt - scientifically known as Hordeum vulgare. We mashed in heaps of British Maris Otter malt until the mash tun strained under the weight. Ignoring pleas for caution, we piled in even more, including bready dark Munich malts and caramelicious double-roasted crystal malt for a deep mahogany color and rowdy maltiness. To add just a hint of counterpoint to the full-on malt assault (and just to be fancy), we used classic British East Kent Golding hops in the kettle and whirlpool. After fermentation was complete, we laid it down for an 8-month slumber in Apple Brandy casks from our distilling brethren at Dogfish Head Distilling. At a heady 13.2% ABV, this one is a sipper. Rich layers of toffee, caramel and plum play with toasted vanilla and coconut. A dense, viscous mouthfeel feel gives way to a long, warm finish. It’s truly a vulgar display of malt.  Hordeum Vulgarity! Limited run of 300 bottles. 

A style-defying beer brewed in collaboration with BeerAdvocate for this year’s Extreme Beer Fest, Possibly the Next Top Rated Beer on BeerAdvocate is a Double New England Maple Pastry Black Coffee Milkshake IPA. Brewed with maple syrup, toasted coconut, lactose, vanilla beans, cocoa powder and cold-press coffee, it draws inspiration from ingredients found in some of the top-rated brews found on the BeerAdvocate website. Clocking in at 10% ABV, we’ve only got 250 (750ml) bottles up for grabs. Priced at just $20 each, bottles are limited to two per person … we’ve got to share the goodness, folks!

Rye Barrel-Aged 120 Minute IPA ... is this real life?! You better believe it!

We took the Holy Grail for hopheads - an India Pale Ale that's continuously hopped with a copious amount of high-alpha American hops - and aged it in rye barrels for a full six months. Then we spent a couple of weeks dry-hopping it for optimum goodness.

The third beer out of our ‘Wooden … it be nice!’ wild beer program, Eastern Seaboard is a wild ale aged on hand-picked blackberries & Eastern Shore beach plums. Available in our Milton Tasting Room & Kitchen starting on Saturday, December 8 at 11 a.m., we’ve only got 4,000 (375ml) bottles of this limited-edition brew up for grabs!

To create Eastern Seaboard, we started with a rustic Farmhouse base ale. After spending nearly a year and a half aging in red and white wine barrels, this beer was racked onto several hundred pounds of blackberries and locally-sourced beach plums. Ruby red in color, Eastern Seaboard is deceptively dry and bottle conditioned to achieve a champagne-like carbonation.

Hand-bottled – cork and cage style – and hand-painted with a special stripe signifying its uniquely-crafted touch, Eastern Seaboard clocks in at 7.2% ABV.

The second beer out of our ‘Wooden … it be nice!’ wild beer program, Wet Hop American Summer is a wild ale dry-hopped with wet Citra hops! Available beginning Saturday, Nov. 10 at our Milton Tasting Room & Kitchen, we're releasing 1,500 (375ml) bottles at 11 a.m. Sharp!

To create Wet Hop American Summer, we started with a rustic Farmhouse base ale. After it spent more than a year in Chardonnay barrels, it was racked onto a hand-picked selection of unprocessed, freshly-harvested, whole leaf Citra hops that were still wet from the field.

Dry, highly-carbonated and chock full of intensely earthy flavors, fragrances and aromas of Brett funk, Wet Hop American Summer clocks in at 7.2% ABV. Hand-bottled – cork and cage style – and hand-painted with a special stripe signifying its uniquely-crafted touch.
