Our Beer
What kind of beer would a unicorn drink?
If a donut and a stout had a baby, what would it taste like? Is edible glitter a thing? Those are the kind of questions that come up when we’re crafting our beers. And apparently, we’re not the only ones who think a little outside the barrel. Since we staged our invasion in 2015, our band of misfits has been proudly un-refining taste buds at our Garden City brewery and downtown Boise taproom.
If you like your beer a little more on the classic side, fear not. Our traditional barrel-aged beers and high-quality IPAs are as Old World as it gets. And right now, our 90 oak barrels are aging limited-batch sours, Brettanomyces-forward funky beers, Bourbon barrel stouts, barley wines, and more. Our brutish brewers also craft kettle sours, hazy IPAs, West Coast IPAs, Belgian ales, and dark and malty styles.
On any given day (especially Thor’s days), you’ll find creations that will have you rethinking what a brewery can do. Experimental styles like our Ice Cream Ales, cocktail-inspired beers, and Candy Gose series are anything but primitive.
Most of our beers are available only at our two taprooms, so stop in if you want to taste what happens when Barbarians take over the taps.
Outsiders Welcome!

Introducing our newest hoppy beer, FRESH PACIFIC PALE. A West Coast Pale Ale made with experimental New Zealand Fresh Nelson Cold Pressed Hop Juice, along with Motueka, NZ Cascade, and Southern Cross hops.
5.4% abv
Draft and 16oz cans available
As a member of @freestylehops research collective, we gain first access to products that aren’t generally available to the public. This year, we were lucky enough to obtain bottles of Fresh Nelson Cold Pressed Hop Juice. During hop harvest, Freestyle took fresh hops and cold pressed them down into a concentrated oil. This oil gives the punch of fresh hops with more flavor and brighter hop aroma and flavor. So, this means we can make a fresh hop beer year-round!

Edit:
We will be donating 100% of profits for this small batch of beer to two local nonprofits serving immigrants and refugees (@tanta.inc & @agencyfornewamericans ) The name Pretti Good Pale exists because we didn’t want to be bystanders. Our intention is simple: show up, support our neighbors, and act with care.
Pretti Good Pale is a West Coast Pale Ale made with Krush, Simcoe and New Zealand Cascade hops. 5% abv.
Draft & 16oz cans available.
