Beers Registered (4)

Grunt Double IPA: 9.0% ABV

Double IPA
Strong American Ale
Package
An intensely hoppy, fairly strong pale ale without the big, rich, complex maltiness and residual sweetness and body of an American barleywine. Strongly hopped, but clean, dry, and lacking harshness. Drinkability is an important characteristic; this should not be a heavy, sipping beer.
ABV: 7.5% to 10%
IBU: 60 to 120

Special Hops IPA: 6.7% ABV

Specialty IPA
IPA
Package
Recognizable as an IPA by balance – a hop-forward, bitter, dryish beer – with something else present to distinguish it from the standard categories. Should have good drinkability, regardless of the form. Excessive harshness and heaviness are typically faults, as are strong flavor clashes between the hops and the other specialty ingredients.

Cat Shot Craft American Lager: 5.5% ABV

American Lager
Standard American Beer
Package
A very pale, highly-carbonated, light-bodied, well-attenuated lager with a very neutral flavor profile and low bitterness. Served very cold, it can be a very refreshing and thirst quenching drink.
ABV: 4.2% to 5.3%
IBU: 8 to 18

Preamble Light Lager: 4.2% ABV

American Light Lager
Standard American Beer
Package
Highly carbonated, very light-bodied, nearly flavorless lager designed to be consumed very cold. Very refreshing and thirst quenching.
ABV: 2.8% to 4.2%
IBU: 8 to 12
