Blue Moon Tap List

As of June 24th, 2017

 

 

Miller Lite (WI)

Adjunct Lager ~ 4.2 % ABV ~ $3.00 Pint

Spotted Cow – New Glarus (WI)

Wisconsin Staple ~ 4.8 % ABV ~ $4.00 Pint

Blue Moon Belgian White (CO)

Orange Included ~ 5.4 % ABV ~ $4.00 Pint

 

Fat Tire – New Belgium (CO)

Amber Ale ~ 5.2 % ABV ~ $4.75 Pint

Named in honor of our co-founder's bike trip through Europe, Fat Tire Amber Ale marks a turning point in the young electrical engineer's home brewing. Belgian beers use a far broader palette of ingredients (fruits, spices, esoteric yeast strains) than German or English styles. Together with co-founder Kim Jordan, they traveled around sampling their homebrews to the public. Fat Tire won fans with its sense of balance: toasty, biscuit-like malt flavors coasting in equilibrium with hoppy freshness.

 

Coffee Stout – Untitled Art (WI)

JBC Coffee ~ 8.0 % ABV ~ $6.00 Goblet

Coffee stout made with hand sorted Peaberry Sumatra coffee beans from JBC Roasters - Madison, WI. 

Our goal is to make new and exciting beer styles available in Wisconsin. Called "Untitled Art", the beers are presented without explanation allowing the drinker to formulate their own opinion. In a market filled with exhausting back stories and kitschy names, we strip this away and let the beer speak for itself. With creative influence from Levi Funk, Untitled Art is similar to a gypsy brewery. We brew what we want, when we want it.

 

Lagunator Lager – Lagunitas (CA/IL)

I’ll be Bock! ~ 7.9 % ABV ~ $4.75 Pint

With a massive malt character, rounded out by a bitter balance from some experimental hops from the Yakima Valley, this beer will leave you saying ‘I’ll be bock!’. In an instant, a towering figure cast a long shadow over him and he saw a single enormous hand extended his way. All of his synapses crackled as he recognized the massive and terrifying form as that of the great ‘Brewmaster’. He heard a deep voice say, “Come with me if you want to live”. He now knew the bottle in his hand must contain the rare Lagunator and he also knew that he might survive to enjoy it.

 

Porter – Founders (MI)

Robust Porter ~ 6.5 % ABV ~ $6.00 Pint

Pours silky black with a creamy tan head. The nose is sweet with strong chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops gives Founders’ robust porter the full flavor you deserve and expect. Cozy like velvet. It’s a lover, not a fighter.

 

Bourbon Barrel Barleywine 2016

BA Barleywine ~ 11.5 % ABV ~ $6.00 Goblet

An American Barleywine aged in used oak bourbon barrels, this beer develops rich flavors of dark fruits and wood that deepen over time. Winner of the Gold Medal in 2008 at the Great American Beer Festival.

 

Savoy Sessions – Three Floyds (IN)

Session Ale ~ 4.2 % ABV ~ $5.25 Pint

Bird Lives! On November 26, 1945 Charlie Parker led a recording date for the Savoy label that became known by some as the greatest jazz session ever. Lemony citrus and full of flavor but still easy to drink.

 

Hop Slice – Deschutes (OR)

Lemondrop Hopped Golden ~5.0 % ABV ~ $5.25 Pint

 Floral and citrus hop notes meet smooth caramel maltiness in this refreshingly-balanced golden ale. This year’s batch includes Lemondrop Hops! Grab a slice of summer in a glass…

 

Inversion IPA – Deschutes (OR)

Whole flower hops ~ 6.8 % ABV ~ $5.25 Pint

Paradise is stumbling upon our whole flower hop room and inhaling. Inversion IPA is as close as you can get without knowing somebody. Enter, if you will, all the glorious aromatic complexity of the hop. This big, bold IPA’s intense multi-hop kick gets a subtle dose of restraint from select Munich and Caramel malts. For discriminating hop heads.

 

Sproose – Black Husky (WI)

Spruced IIPA ~ 8.6 % ABV ~ $5.25 Goblet

“Reminiscent of the essence of pine wafting in the breeze as you stroll through the forest on a cool, crisp winter’s evening…” What? Really? Lothar (“The Biter”) would sooner, well bite you, then listen to you extol the virtues of the pine forest. This Black Husky innovation is not so subtle – and it’s not meant to be. Brewed with locally harvested spruce tips and tracking in at 103 IBUs this aggressive double IPA won’t leave you wondering if you caught a whiff of pine; rather you’ll know you bulldozed through the forest and came out on the other side – the dark side – the Black Husky side.

 

Harvest Single Hop – Sierra Nevada (CA)

Specialty IPA ~ 6.3 % ABV ~ $5.25 Pint

Our hunt for rare and exciting hop flavors led us to a bizarre wild hop. This is a new sub-varietal of Neomexicanus— a wild hop indigenous to the U.S.— named FZMR2, lovingly called “Frank Zappa” for short. It has a deep, herbal and “dank” flavor with notes of stone fruit, melon and apricot all showcased against a hint of roasted malt in this new black IPA.

 

Ghost Hammer – Stone (CA)

Tropical Unfiltered IPA ~ 6.7 % ABV ~ $5.25 Pint

A fermenting beer never slumbers. Consequently, there is always scattered activity tending our precious beers throughout the dark hours. In these late nights and wee hours that hallowed responsibility falls to the shoulders of the overnight Brew Crew. These brewing soloists brave the long nights, often alone, to do what needs to be done. Most areas of the brewery are dark or in shadows. Throughout the night the cellars resonate with the occasional knocking of expanding and contracting pipes. It can be a bit spooky to hear the brewery creak and groan as if possessed by a spirit randomly knocking about with a mallet. This IPA, liberally hopped with Loral, honors our intrepid overnight team by naming it after their mischievous poltergeist companion – the Ghost Hammer.
