THE CORE FOUR

GUNNY GOLD KÖLSCH

5.1% ABV | 22 IBU’s
For this recipe we wanted to go traditional and capture the character of beers brewed in Köln, Germany. The light grain bill, hearty kettle additions of Saaz and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, and a German ale yeast make for a delicate and balanced beer. This beer pours a crystal-clear and light gold with a white head. Herbal and spicy hop aromas open up into a light, grainy-sweet body with a crisp finish.

GREEN GATE IPA

6.7% ABV | 85 IBU’s
A West Coast IPA for hopheads and folks looking to expand their palate. We load this beer with Citra and Mosaic hops throughout the boil, whirlpool and dry hopping. Fresh pine and grapefruit dominate the aroma with peach and dank cannabis making an appearance. Light grain, and faint caramel give balance through the body and lead to a stone fruit and citrus rind finish with a pleasant bitterness that lingers long after the last sip.

ANTHRACITE AMBER ALE

6.1% ABV | 25 IBU’s
An iconic style throughout the American Craft Beer Revolution, Amber Ales are balanced and approachable. Our amber ale continues this great tradition. Look for toast, biscuit and subtle piney hop aromas, a smooth body of caramel and bread crust, and a finish that is rounded out with toasted caramel and a balanced bitterness.

SOL'S ESPRESSO STOUT

6.0% ABV | 33 IBU’s
Our boldest year-round offering is brewed in collaboration with Tributary Coffee Roasters. They roast a special espresso blend just for this beer! Espresso dominates the aroma with roasted malt and beautiful chocolate. The medium body is balanced with sweet caramel notes and dark chocolate with a bright espresso finish. Goes great with breakfast or your favorite dessert!

red lady ale- american red ale

5.8% ABV | 35 IBU’s
In celebration of HCCA’s victory after 47 years of fighting the good fight, Red Lady Mountain (Mt. Emmons) is officially forever mine-free and we have brewed an American Red Ale! Colorado-grown 2-row barley, flaked rye, and a blend of caramel and chocolate malts make for a beautiful, crimson-colored hue and give this beer a distinct mouthfeel and lightly toasted-biscuity flavor that we desire as we shift into colder weather here in the Gunnison valley. We dry hopped this red ale with CTZ and Gunnison grown Centennial fresh hop cones, balancing this beer out tremendously. Thank you again to Crested Butte, HCCA and everyone that helped make this happen. Cheers!

SEASONAL BEERS

italian mountain basil ale

6.1%ABV | 28 IBU’s

Gunnison’s beloved seasonal beer is back on tap! Italian Mountain Basil Ale is loaded with 13 pounds of fresh, organic basil that we “dry-hopped” both during and after primary fermentation. At its heart, this is a classic American pale ale, featuring late additions of Chinook and Cascade hops, balanced with a hearty malt backbone of Colorado-grown 2-row and caramel malt. Last, but not least, is the Vermont Sticky maple syrup added to the whirlpool that adds a subtle layer of sweetness and complexity. Grab a pint of this herbaceous beer while it lasts!

curecanti chile beer

6.4% ABV | 30 IBU’s

Curecanti Chile Beer is an easy-drinking pale ale that brings together the fresh citrusy aromas and flavors of Cascade and El Dorado hops with locally sourced Hatch green chile peppers. The distinct roasted green chile aroma blends smoothly with a touch of sweet grain, while a balanced malt backbone that carries chile flavor into a crisp finish. With little to no heat, it’s the kind of brew that keeps the whole crowd coming back for more.

The Matron Barrel Aged Imperial Chocolate stout

11.4% ABV | 36 IBU’s
Dessert in a glass! One of our favorite liquids we produce- The Matron. We start with an Imperial Stout base and add copious amounts of Haitian cacao nibs that add notes of brown sugar, vanilla, and fudge to this already delicious beer. We then age it in DeerHammer American Single Malt Whiskey barrels for 12 months. The outcome is phenomenal! Flavors of burnt toffee, pecan, chocolate and rich vanilla are extracted from the aging process. Available in Crowlers® too!

Radiant Realm Hazy ipa

7.0% ABV | 35 IBU’s
A new beer from HABC! Radiant Realm brings together Krush and Enigma hops for a one of a kind hazy IPA. Huge stone fruit, citrus and diesel flavors are balanced with copious addtions of flaked wheat and oats. Very light on IBU's this beer is approachable even for non hopheads! Get yourself a glass!

SlaSH TURN HAZY IPA
6.7% ABV | 50 IBu’s

Slash Turn is back and better than ever! Brewed with the finest 2-row barley grown right here in Colorado, a touch of wheat malt, maris otter, and over 150 pounds of oats for a softer mouthful. We triple-dry-hopped this hazy IPA with the freshest Mosaic, Galaxy, and El Dorado hops we could find, giving this beer wonderful, deep aromatic layers of tropical fruits reminiscent to grapefruit, pineapple, mango, and guava. Cheers!
