Anniversary Ale on tap to mark our first full year in business. The style is a German Altbier, a balanced amber ale brewed with European Pilsner Malt and German hops. Amber color is achieved by adding small amounts of dark malt. This is around 5% ABV, and is served in an Altbier-type glass with the Beer Engine logo on it.
Heidi Lager is a German-style Pilsner brewed with Hallertau hops. It's really on the money. Slightly perfume (hop) in aroma, just like Heidi would want it.
Mammoth Stout is another Buckeye beer that is really spot on. It has been listed as a Foreign Stout since it's inception, but it takes on more of an Oatmeal Stout character. Very smooth, creamy, rich, but yet, not too big.
