Cerveza El Dorado
I am happy to introduce our first Hwy 50 lager, a Mexican lager we’re calling Cerveza El Dorado. It’s on tap now, and I hope you’ll give it try—especially if you’re a fan of light crisp Mexican lagers. I’ve always liked a good lager. When Diane and I go out to other breweries, I order a pilsner most times or some type of lager, because I enjoy the style so much. They have a lower alcohol volume too, so Diane can enjoy whatever beer she wants, and I can drive us home!
Wit Line Fever
This amazing Belgian beer is a style that dates back hundreds of years; however, it fell into relative obscurity until it was revived by Belgian brewer Pierre Celis in the 1960s. Fortunately, this nearly extinct style is currently enjoying a renaissance.
Barrel Aged Big Mash Imperial Stout
Here’s news our beer-loving friends have been waiting for over the past 13 months or so. Our barrel-aged Big Mash Imperial Stout is in bottles and on tap. This is a traditional style Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. After dubious sampling sessions, we can honestly say, we’re really happy with the results.
Hwy 50’s One Way IPAs
I love a good IPA as much as the next beer lover. Most IPAs combine two or more hop varieties to create the overall aromas and flavors we all enjoy. You can create amazing flavor and aroma profiles this way, but you miss getting to know a particular hop for its own individual characteristics. Our One Way IPA series highlights hop varieties that are absolutely worth getting to know on their own!
Grapefruit Hard Seltzer
We’re excited to introduce Hwy 50 Brewery’s first craft hard seltzer. It’s a grapefruit seltzer we named “Chains Required”—an icy drink for the middle of summer (or any other time of year); crisp, cold, refreshing, and gluten-free.
“In The Ditch” English Style Porter
In The Ditch Porter is from an old recipe I used to make out on my driveway during my home brewing days. I called it “Cats and Dogs Porter” because it seemed like every time I brewed it, regardless of the time of year, it would rain cats and dogs!
