Beers on tap at the brewery this weekend...

 

Generosity (American Lager)

Generosity is Iron Duke's way of saying thank you to the countless friends and family that have been so generous with their time. This American Lager has a bold, malty sweetness with an oaky, vanilla finish.  ABV – 5.8%   IBU - 10

Honey Wheat (Kottbusser Ale)

Honey Wheat, is our take on the German Kottbusser style. This style was forbidden in Germany for hundreds of years because of the German Purity Law which prohibits the use of ingredients such as honey or molasses. Lucky for us the recipe snuck out. This full bodied beer has the characteristics of a true German style ale, a crisp pilsner malt nose gives way to a dry, slightly bitter finish. Thanks go out to Hampden County BeeKeepers for the key ingredient in this beer.  ABV – 6.4%   IBU - 18

The Common (Kentucky Common Ale)

A unique take on a little known style of beer known as Kentucky Common. This is one of only two types of beer that are known to have originated in the US. Since beer was a more sanitary choice, Kentucky coal miners would drink this beer throughout the day rather than water. Brewed with a combination of Malted Barley, Malted Rye, and Flaked Maize this beer makes for a refreshing and light taste experience. ABV – 4.6%   IBU - 21 

Baby-Maker (Irish Porter)

Baby-Maker, while Irish at its roots, has influences from all over the beer spectrum. This medium to dark colored ale is slightly malty sweet with a delightful roasted finish. No parent admits they have a favorite child, but here at Iron Duke the Baby-Maker holds a special place in our hearts. ABV – 5.4%   IBU - 24

Alternate Facts 4 (Sour Mash)

In today’s world we are constantly trying to discern facts from Alternate Facts. This version of the truth comes in the form of a sour mash, fresh hopped, amber ale.  Our special fermentation technique combined with freshly picked local hops has created a unique sour beer which presents a powerful lemon zest tartness and a full on grassy fresh hop flavor.   ABV – 7.5%   IBU – 45

Dead Nuts (Rye IPA) 

Throughout construction, a phrase that you would inevitably hear shouted out here at Iron Duke was “Its Dead Nuts”. This was usually in reference to something that was installed perfectly level or dead on its target. Dead Nuts, the beer, is a perfectly balanced American IPA that finds the sweet spot of Malt and Hop balance.  The spiciness of Rye shows up and is amplified by the use of American hops such as Chinook and Falconers Flight to name just a couple. ABV – 5.6%   IBU - 66 

Fifty Two (Russian Imperial Stout)

This big bold stout was originally brewed in celebration of our 1 year Anniversary.  It  showcases a dark stone fruit malt flavor with a bittersweet roasted burnt sensation.  This beer can be enjoyed immediately or cellared for long periods to experience its evolving flavor over time.  Raise a glass and join us in a true Celebration of Hard Work.  ABV – 10.1%   IBU - 66 

Fifty Two - COFFEE (Russian Imperial Stout)  -- ON NITRO

Added 5lbs of medium roast coffee beans to Fifty Two. Big shout out to our friends at Common Grounds Café, Wilbraham, MA.  ABV – 10.1%   IBU - 66 

4 A.M. (New England IPA) 

Ever wonder what goes on in the 4a.m. hour, when it is not yesterday and tomorrow hasn't begun?  At Iron Duke this is the time we spend dreaming up our best ideas.  This rarely experienced hour of 4a.m. has yielded us this wonderfully heavily hopped creation.  We brew this one to honor all of the people who work late nights and are early risers and everyone in between.  ABV – 6.9%   IBU - 84

Stud-Finder (Double IPA)

While we used more tools during construction/deconstruction than we can count, some tools standout among the crowd. Stud-Finder is the second IPA offering in our Construction Series of IPA’s. This Double IPA packs a bigger, bolder Hop and Malt punch than its Dead Nuts counterpart.  We’re very excited to have experimented with Topaz, an Australian hop variety, to stand up alongside with our American variety favorites.  ABV – 7.7%   IBU - 87

ON VACATION (at brewery)

  

 

Sinker (Breakfast Stout)

Our Breakfast Stout is a hearty treat for any beer drinker.  It is brewed using traditional ingredients of a breakfast stout but with a little extra chocolatey goodness that makes it a beer to savor.  ABV – 5.0%   IBU - 29

Putts Bridge (American Brown)
