Kia ‘Pita’ Katobalavu, was born in Fiji, and from a young age listened to & sang the native music of the Islands! He taught himself to play a wide range of instruments including a wooden drum, called the lali. He also learned the Meke, which is a complex combination of voices and dance, and is often used in times of war. Native dance was an integral part of his life.~ He moved to the Hawaiian Islands in 1988, with a dream to become a working musician & made his way to the Midwest in 2002, settling in Wisconsin, there he found fertile ground where he could continue his music and share his original reggae with a new audience!

Kula (Hawaiian for “Golden”) perfectly describes our American Wheat Ale. Crisp and refreshing, this golden wheat is lightly hopped with Wisconsin Tettnanger and fermented with 125 fresh, ripe pineapples for a well-balanced yet interesting twist. Kula Wheat makes a perfect pairing with a pizza made in Broken Tree’s wood-fired oven and delivered straight to you in our taproom. Cheers!

Exceptionally smooth & malty with a rich toasty sweetness. The deep red color is based on “Number 90”, the signature paint color used by Appleton’s Pierce Manufacturing on their Custom Firefighting Vehicles. This beer’s toasty body is built on to two lightly kilned Vienna Malts from Wisconsin’s Briess Malt. Enjoy cold, and drink a toast to the dedicated heroes fighting fires! 4.7% abv 18 ibu
Bursting with American Citra hops, “Juice Cloud” is a hazy, deliciously juicy New-England Style IPA filled with flavors and aromas of passion fruit, melon, grapefruit, lime, and citrus juices. A soft, pillowy, cloud-like mouthfeel and minimal bitterness will invite you enjoy another; not coat your tongue with resin as some IPA’s can. The flavor and juicy haze are a bit misleading… there is no juice or additives in this beer other than water, malt, oats, yeast, and hops! Recent award-winner at the 2017 Wisconsin IPA Festival and 2018 “People’s Choice” Award at the Hops & Props Beer Festival. 6.7% abv
Pronounced Go-Zuh, this is a German-style salted sour wheat ale. Our take on this classic style combines tangy sweetness from Florida Key Limes with sea salt, resulting in a deliciously refreshing summer beer that finishes dry and clean. Kettle-soured just long enough to bring a mild sourness for a refreshing juiciness. 4.7% abv
When we brewed this beer the first time, we stuck a thermometer in the mash to measure the temperature and with all the oatmeal- the mash was so thick that the thermometer didn’t sink- it stuck straight up. A minute later when we weren’t looking the mash swallowed the thermometer up like Quicksand and the name was born. Luckily it wasn’t a mercury thermometer… and it tasted great!
A hazy pale with the sweet, juicy, tropical flavors from fresh mango fruit and Mosaic hops – then “milkshaked” with lactose and Madagascar Vanilla Beans. 5.5% abv. <15 IBU
Double IPA. Juicy & Hazy, in the New England style. Double Dry-Hopped with big charges of juicy Denali hops, imparting pineapple, tropical citrus, and Starburst candy aromas and flavors. Supporting the hop load are 3 grains including lightly kilned malted barley, flaked oats, and flaked red wheat. “Juice” is just a descriptor, this beer is made with only water, grains, hops, and yeast.
“They say young is good and old is fine…” sometimes we all find ourselves caught up chasing what’s young and new- that’s when it’s time for a return to classic style. This IPA has intense hop aromas and flavors with balanced malt and bitterness. Featuring Michigan Centennial hops, expect vibrant lemony citrus with soft floral notes.
Collaboration with Jon & Sean from Neenah’s renowned Town Council Kitchen & Bar. This mixed-culture sour ale was custom blended from 5 varying character sour ales aging in Pinot Noir and Charred Oak barrels with Montmorency Cherries, beet sugar, brettanomyces and lactobacillus added throughout aging. Deep ruby in color, this beer’s complex layers of flavor reveal themselves as the glass slowly warms in your hand.
Crisp, clean, and refreshingly nostalgic- Boundary Waters Lager rides the Canadian border with a soft malt sweetness and a perfectly balanced crispy noble hop finish. This style of lager is unique in that it relies on Canadian Brewers’ maltose (and not rice or corn) to deliver clean, smooth body without being overly malty.
Very dry, non-bitter, crisp, effervescent, and refreshing- our Brut IPA was inspired by the dry white wines of California’s wine country where this style was recently invented. Dry-hopped with the very rare Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand, giving this beer plenty of white grape and tropical fruit aroma and flavor to balance the extremely dry finish.
Rich, brown porter highlighted by LOTS of Wisconsin Maple Syrup
We brewed and started barrel-aging our 2018 Bourbon Trail Stout in 2017. Now, a year later, it has taken on the rich character of caramelized sugars from the charred oak barrel staves along with notes of tobacco, vanilla, spice, and oak from the Bulleit & Elija/Evan Bourbon held inside those barrels for years. Together with the stout’s roasty base and sticky sweetness of brown sugar and molasses… this beer will warm your soul any winter. Cellar-aging will further develop this complex beer.
Aged 12 months in Bulleit Bourbon barrels imparting rich caramelized sugars, tobacco, spice, and oak on top of the stout’s roasty base. We then added Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans to the barrels for another robust layer of flavor and complexity. Cellar-aging will further develop this complex beer.
