Featured selections of Craft Beers created by local Fox Valley area brewing companies.
Francesco Italian Pilsner
5.1 %. This Italian Pilsner was created in memory of our head brewer’s father, Francesco Mercadante. Featuring sweet Italian-grown Eraclea Pilsner malt and crisp American Zuper Saazer hops, we honor his birth in Italy and life in the U.S. Like Francesco’s personality, this hop-balanced lager is ever pleasant, mild, and welcoming.

Heavy Handed
Two Brothers Heavy Handed (ABV 7.5%) is an IPA lover’s dream! A generous helping of fresh Chinook hops is added to the whirlpool, creating a distinct “wet hopped” flavor profile with citrus and floral notes. “Wet hops” are only harvested at full maturity, usually for just a few short weeks in late August and early September, making Heavy Handed a rare and extremely fresh seasonal beer! Cheers! Available on draft and in 16 oz cans.

Pollyanna Dreamsicle Flurries
5.2% ABV Wheat Ale with Orange & Vanilla. We miss our favorite pink beer, “Summerly,” in the Winter, so we decided to brew a winterized wheat beer to take its place. “Dreamsicle Flurries” is a wheat beer with loads of orange juice and vanilla bean added. It tastes so good we forgot how terrible Winter is for a few minutes!

Spooky Boots
Hazy IPA with Phantasm. 8.2% ABV. Returning with a slightly spookier ABV and new innovative hop products, Spooky Boots is a bewitching blend of Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Styrian Wolf hops, expertly crafted to deliver an unforgettable hoppy experience. It also holds a spectral secret, a dash of Phantasm powder sourced from the Marlborough region of New Zealand. The Phantasm powder, derived from the hallowed Sauvignon Blanc grape skins of Marlborough, possesses an otherworldly richness in Thiol precursors. When added to the fermenting beer, it conjures an enchanting transformation, imbuing your glass with an extra burst of Sauvignon Blanc grape, citrus, guava, and passion fruit. This spectral infusion weaves seamlessly into the beer’s hazy tapestry, creating an aroma that dances between the realms of wine and beer.
