A classic American India Pale Ale dominated by pleasant hop bitterness and aroma, Pick Axe IPA benefits from dry hops that create uniquely complex aromas and award-winning flavors. It’s their most popular draft in the pub for good reason!
Award-winning Maple Nut Brown Ale is made with a touch of maple syrup added to each barrel for roasted sweetness that counterbalances the nut flavor produced by Munich, caramel and chocolate malts. The freshest ingredients and brisk mountain air combine to make a remarkably drinkable brown ale.
Featured Beer from Tommyknocker Brewery: Pick Axe IPA & Maple Nut Brown Ale
INDIA PALE ALE —Tommyknocker’s Pick Axe IPA: Made bitter and strong to survive the long boat trip, it was originally brewed for British soldiers in India. Tommyknocker’s version is not a hoppy monster like some IPA’s, better described as complex and unique. Enjoy this refreshing, top-fermented brew with seafood and all things spicy or grilled.
MAPLE NUT BROWN ALE —Tommyknocker’s Maple Nut Brown Ale: All ales are top fermented, expressive and complex in flavor, usually with a fruitiness not found in lagers. This brew’s beautifully balanced with maple syrup for a roasted sweetness. Tommyknocker’s Maple Nut Brown Ale is perfect served as an aperitif, or with lamb chops or salmon.
