Fruhauf Oktoberfest Lager
5.4% ABV. Built in 1871, the current La Dolce Vita restaurant in Lemont was once home to The Charles Fruhauf Store. Charles Fruhauf, a German-born immigrant, built his storefront out of Lemont limestone (Athens Marble) and his general store was a Lemont staple throughout the late 1800’s. A Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal Winner, we brewed this Oktoberfest as homage to him and the beautiful building that still stands to this day. Clean, malty, and just dry enough, this Märzen-style lager is to be consumed in your finest lederhosen or dirndl while eating giant pretzels in an endless beer garden.

Haka
ABV: 4.6%. Style: New Zealand Pils. Haka is a SMaSH (single malt, single hop) beer, highlighting the bright, juicy lemon-lime flavors of the New Zealand Rakau hop onto a base of smooth, bready German pilsner malt. The result is a bright, and easily drinkable lager, perfect for an aspirational beach weekend (actual beach or summery weather not necessary).

Sloppy Kisser
New England IPA 7.4%. Over the years, we have received requests from puppy lovers to name a beer after everyone’s best friend. Well, here it is: Sloppy Kisser! If you have a dog, you know exactly what we mean. Cheers to all who have a dog that brings them happiness and love! The beer is moderately hazy, featuring Mosaic hops and the New England “Conan” yeast strain. What results is a peach, guava, and papaya hop bomb!
