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.

Brew 42

There’s a reason why this became America’s favorite style post-Prohibition and continues to be one of the highest selling beers on the planet. Clean malt bill, crisp hop bitterness, dry finish, and excessively refreshing. Pairs will with bowling, lawn jarts, tailgate parties, running backs, and hot summer days.

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
Brew 42, Brew 42! Hut, Hut! Hand-off & cut-back right straight to the tap line. Former Badger and Packer Gary Ellerson has become a WI legend after maintaining a strong presence in the community and after his days. With strong ties to the WI sports world, it only seemed fitting to design a beer as refreshing as his local sports takes after a crushing loss or a euphoric win!

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.

Hobby Hops

Farm-to-table. Grain-to-glass. How about Vines-to-Pints? We used the freshest hops available on the market for our latest brew. By freshest, we mean hops grown right here in the heart of Milwaukee! These hops were grown and harvested by a few amazing customers who shared their bounty with us. We chose our Na Zdrowie recipe to highlight the freshness that using wet hops will provide. We hope you’ll enjoy this once-a-year brew before it’s all gone. Na Zdrowie!

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!

MDCCCX (1810)

Munich malt and noble hops are the backbone of our version of this fall classic. Hopped to provide balance while maintaining this style’s malt character. Prost!

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!

Lumberman Red

Leinie’s Red was a favorite growing up. Lumberman Red is our take on that classic. Characteristics of the original with a deep red copper appearance, malt forward profile, caramel sweetness, and a hint of bitterness.

Honey Corazón

Pale Ales usually involve some crazy amount of varieties of hops. We took a different approach. We added local honey to this West Coast style Pale Ale. At the heart of this beer is a mid-fermentation infusion of honey from our friends at Mallory Meadows in Eagle, WI.
