6.5% ABV
City of Gold Pale
With a slight pear and stone-fruit aroma, this pale really emphasizes the tropical fruit notes derived from the El Dorado hops. It might be winter, but that doesn’t mean we can’t drink beer like it’s summer.

Embers Amber Ale

5.5% ABV
Structures Brewing
Bertha Barleywine and Juice on Juice Can Release
Bertha, named after the brewery deer/dog, is a very special beer for Structures. They’ll be releasing 750 mL bottles as well as four magnum bottles (really big bottles). This beer was brewed with a double mash (two separate mashes) consisting of only Maris Otter, boiled for 6 hours, fermented in stainless steel. It sat in Four Roses Bourbon barrels for 18 months. This is a super special beer so don’t miss it!
