Torzarita
Torzarita is a margarita hard seltzer.
Rare Optics
A clean malt bill was chosen to highlight a massively hopped, yet crisp & clean IPA including cryogenic hops and thiolized yeast. The result is a brew with tropical flavors and aromas, such as passionfruit, grapefruit and mango.
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
Let’s face it, we all see things differently based on our surroundings, upbringing and personal beliefs. It’s also affected by, well, our actual vision. Starting at the age of twenty, our brewmaster was diagnosed with a rare eye disorder, kerataconus, which resulted in bilateral corneal transplants. This brew is dedicated to the nurses and doctors who guided him through his journey, from virtual blindness to 20/20 vision. Inspired by providing a solution to an uncommon problem, we used ingredients utilizing advances in brewing technology.
Unity Bridge
Inspired by one of Jeff Torzala’s favorite IPAs that emphasizes balance over intensity. This brew has a clean malt bill blending 2-row Pale Ale and Pilsner malt, along with some Caramel thrown in to develop a classic copper appearance. For the hop profile, we chose Magnum for bitterness balanced by Chinook, Simcoe, and Centennial for an aromatic and flavor blend of pine, resin, and citrus.
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
Known as Milwaukee’s “Mason-Dixon Line,” 16th St.Viaduct Bridge separated the city’s black residents on the North Side with the city’s white residents on the South Side. On August 28th, 1967, Father Groppi and the NAACP Youth Council marched across it into Kosciuszko Park to protest housing discrimination. This action and subsequent protests resulted in the enactment of open housing ordinances in ’67 and ’68.
Killa Kölsch
Crisp and crushable. Killa Kölsch is brewed to the style originating from Cologne, Germany. Creamy head, soft mouthfeel, and fuller flavor for a clean, refreshing, easy to drink brew.
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
This is our second brew under the Grave Digga brand name crafted for our partner, Gilbert Brown. When the Super Bowl champ approached us to create a few beers that stand out and bury the competition, we were all in. Killa Kölsch is designed to be approachable to everyday American beer drinkers, but elevated enough to get them into the premium beer game.
A portion of the sales of this beer benefits The Gilbert Brown Foundation which supports over 156 area children’s charities.
Bailamos
We dance! Dancing is a gift we share during Día de los Muertos as we pay homage to our ancestors by celebrating those who have passed on. Marigold flowers, with their bright colors, help guide the souls back to us on their path in the afterlife. Our beer focuses on this element as we infuse marigold into a style similar to a traditional Atole. Combining the aroma of marigold and flavors of piloncillo, cinnamon, vanilla, and flaked corn, this offering is sure to please any spirits during their journey.
Rusty Maple
A Märzen style beer with 2 additions of pure, Grade-A, 100% maple syrup from Ginter’s Corner Tap ‘N’ Sap in Crandon, WI. We made 2 batches adding the syrup at various times. Which side of the boat would you rather be on? Starboard or Port?
Dinámica Dolores
This brew pays homage to Dolores Huerta, one of our nation’s most important labor & civil rights leaders. Friends at Chile Line Brewery in Santa Fe developed the brew and assisted us with developing our version. Smoked Beechwood malt and hatch chile bring a balanced blend of heat and smoke.¡Salud!
Los Domingos
Challenge: Create an authentic Vienna Lager brewed by the first German brewers in Mexico City. Research showed that they added some local flavor to their recipes resulting in a beer the locals could call their own. This collaboration of cultures resulted in one of our favorite styles to brew. ¡Salud!
NaZdrowie!
Na Zdrowie! Polish for Cheers! Pronounced Nas-dro-v-yea. Now that you know, say it with Gusto! Sweet, malty, and moderately hopped, an easier drinking beer compared to today’s hop forward profiles. With this in mind, we put our West Coast Pale Ale twist on this classic by adding a hop profile matching Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale, an American craft brewing legend.
