LIGHT
KÖLSCH
ABV 4.2%
Brewed with 100% Pilsen malt and delicately hopped with Cascade hops, Rush River Light is a true thirst quencher. At 4.2% ABV and only 125 calories, feel free to have a few!
THE UNFORGIVEN
AMBER
ABV 5.5%
Balance is the key to our flagship Amber Ale. Munich and Caramel malts provide a solid backbone, while a moderate amount of Cascade hops lends a subtle herbal character. The robust copper color is complemented by a frothy white head that leaves a thick lacing on the glass.
BUBBLEJACK
AMERICAN IPA
ABV 6.5%
We brewed this American IPA with a light body, which makes for a bright appearance and allows the various Yakima Valley hops to shine. Centennial and Cascade hops offer up a medley of citrus flavors with a medium bitterness giving way to a rather dry finish.
SCENIC
PALE
ABV 5%
A refreshingly floral Pale Ale, Scenic is hoppy and fragrant. Copious amounts of late-addition Citra and Mosaic hops convey aromatics of grapefruit, apricot and soft pine. The result is a medium-bodied beer with minimal bitterness and a big hop aroma.
SMALL AXE
GOLDEN
ABV 4.5%
A Golden Ale that is brewed with one third of the grain bill coming from White wheat and hopped exclusively with Citra hops. This crisp, aromatic little number has a slightly cloudy appearance and a juicy, tropical nose. If Jolly Rancher made an apricot-flavored hard candy it might taste like this.
KN8TVS
WET HOP
ABV 6.7%
Once a year we have the pleasure of brewing a beer with hops that were picked that same day! As usual, we turned to the wonderful people at Kinnickinnic Native Plants for their locally grown Centennial hops, which are added just after the boil and steeped for 15 minutes, giving the beer a fresh, green flavor. In addition to the Centennial wet hops, we chose Triumph and Idaho Gem hops for 50 IBUs in the boil, as well as dry-hopping in the conditioning tank. Both of these new varieties are described as having a fruity, bubble gum flavor. We shall see…
DOUBLE BUBBLE
IMPERIAL IPA
ABV 9%
This hop-whopper is the bigger brother to our Bubblejack IPA, as the multiple additions of Centennial and Cascade hops do the talking in this Double IPA. For this version we’ve nearly doubled the hops and added over two and a half pounds of local honey per barrel.
MINION
JUICY IPA
ABV 7%
An intensely hop-forward ale, Minion is brewed with six pounds of Mosaic and Centennial hops per barrel. Only a handful of those hops are boiled in the kettle, while the vast majority are utilized post-boil in the whirlpool and conditioning tank. This technique gives the beer a dank and pungent aroma and flavor without the bitterness of a traditional IPA.
KIRSCHE
BERLINER WEISSE
ABV 4%
Kirsche is our year-round fruited sour ale. It starts with a traditional Berliner Weisse grain bill consisting of half Pilsen and half White wheat malt before being rested in the boil kettle with lactobacillus. After fermentation, an infusion of tart cherry purée in the conditioning tank completes this sparkling, rose-colored beauty.
ÜBER ALT
ALTBIER
ABV 8.5%
An ancient style from the Rhineland, Altbiers are ales that were virtually wiped out by European lagers in the 1800s. Über Alt is a much stronger version of the traditional Dusseldorf Altbiers. We ramp up the grain bill with Pilsen, Munich and Caramel malts to produce a rich, malt-forward German ale.
OKTOBERFEST
FESTBIER
ABV 6%
Rush River Oktoberfest is our version of the main type of beer currently served at the classic German festival. Officially called a Festbier, it is lighter in body and strength than a Märzen, which historically was the predominant style. Brewed with 100% German malts and hops, this beer has a soft, malty richness with slightly toasty hints and a light, clean finish. Prost!
19th ANNIVERSARY
TROPICAL BLONDE
ABV 5.9%
In celebration of Rush River’s 19th anniversary we are bringing back one of our favorite summer beers – a Tropical Blonde Ale. We start by brewing a 5.9% Blonde Ale using a light, clean grain bill then give it 20 IBUs of all Citra hops in the boil before fermenting it with toasted coconut flakes. For this version we infused it with fresh mango, pink guava and pineapple purée.
PHAZE 11
HAZY IPA
ABV 7.2%
Phaze 11 Hazy IPA features new hops called Talus, which are the result of a hybrid pollination of Sabro hops and open pollination. The aroma of Talus has been described as “intense flavors of citrus, flowers, and wood… with grapefruit, stone fruit, oak, coconut and pine.” Meanwhile, rolled oats and white wheat malt lay down a soft, pillowy body for this medley of fruit flavors to float on.
ARISE
BOURBON-BARRELED IMPERIAL STOUT
ABV 11%
Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, this barrel-aged Imperial Stout is born from an 18-month rest in the blackened, charred interior of a Bourbon barrel. The body of this mythical beast has Roasted barley, Black and Chocolate malts at its core. The extensive barrel-aging process lends a warming Bourbon nose and gives this bold beer a silky-smooth mouthfeel and finish.
EAU DE VIE
BRANDY-BARRELED BLONDE
ABV 9.4%
This unique ale is based upon a cocktail called a Sidecar, which features Brandy, orange liqueur and lemon juice. We start with a high gravity Blonde ale, then age it in Brandy barrels before infusing it with whole oranges and lemons. The result is a sweet, fruity and boozy glass of suds.
LOST ARROW (NITRO)
PORTER
ABV 5%
A traditional English Porter, the Lost Arrow imparts a toasty malt aroma with a mild ‘roastiness’ highlighted by notes of toffee and chocolate. Though dark and complex, the mouthfeel is surprisingly light with a fairly dry finish and has a nice creamy texture being a nitro pour.
