Small Batch Beers
In addition to the year–round offerings, Crow Peak Brewing Company produces several seasonal offerings. The brewers at Crow Peak Brewing Company continue to brew on their original 5-barrel brew system for small batch and one-off styles. Although much of the small batch beer we brew is sold directly out of our tap room, we also send out some of these small batch beers to wholesalers so that retail outlets can put on something that is unique but available for a limited time only.
Some examples of the styles we brew are: lager series (helles, dunkel, schwarzbier, doppelbock), Imperial IPA, a session IPA, Stout, Imperial chocolate coconut porter, Belgian series, an Irish red ale, green chile ale, the ever popular Black Currant Gose and one of our newest – the Tony Milos Breakfast Beer, a vanilla espresso Scotch ale.
