Snow Boots
Hazy Winter IPA – 7.7% ABV
The temperature isn’t the only thing freezing around here, our hops are too. Using hops processed in a Cryo Process that concentrates the hop goodies, we are able to maximize our aroma compounds and limit the green matter and bitterness / harshness that can come with, including Cryo HBC 630 and Cryo Pop® Blend. Snow Boots debuted a couple years ago to a great reception and is a bigger, more hop aromatic version of our Goofy Boots. Available at your local craft beer retailer and the Penrose taproom now.

This Blonde Ale has Vanilla and Tugboat Coffee’s Single Origin Guatemala roast added. Lightly hopped at 15 IBU, this beer is meant to resemble an easy drinking Vanilla Latte. No lactose was added to this beer.

Rugged Coalminer
Robust Porter 5.9% ABV. A rich, chocolatey, Robust Porter. It pours like the perfect shot of espresso, dark and rich, with a creamy head. The smooth caramel body softly balances the chocolate coffee-like notes. You’ll be surprised how smooth this beer really is. So, put down your lamp, take off your helmet and enjoy this beer. Surely its robust enough for the toughest Coalminer.
