DAMN BEER / GOLDEN ALE / 5% ABV
Sometimes all you need is a Damn Beer! Our flagship golden ale
HOPDROP / JUICY IPA / 6% ABV
Named after our logo, this Juicy IPA is light-bodied and crushable with big citrus aroma and flavor from Citra and Amarillo hops.
MARDI GRAS / BIERE DE GARDE / 4.6% ABV
Please join us in welcoming one of our annual beer traditions back to the taps: Bière de Garde! In French, Biere de Garde translates to "beer for keeping." The Germans would call it lager, which means much the same thing. There are blonde, amber and brown iterations of Bière de Garde, and W.E. chose to brew a light amber version this year. You'll notice a toasted malty aroma and an ever so slight sweetness, held in check by German Noble Saaz hops.
THE SELTZER / 5 FLAVORS / 5.5% ABV
Hard seltzer, gluten free with 4-5 flavors available at all time
JUICE BUCKET / JUICY DOUBLE IPA / 8% ABV
This double dry-hopped DIPA is absolutely loaded with Galaxy and Mosaic hops. Look for intense flavors of passion fruit, peach, blueberry, and more. All of these juicy flavors come only from malt, water, yeast, and most important, hops! (No fruit added)
PRINCE WILLIAM PILS / PILSNER / 4.8% ABV
When sipping on this Pilsner, you'll notice a pronounced minerality and a soft, but dry, body. W.E. used two types of malt, European Pilsner and Acidulated Malt, then two hop varieties, German Magnum and Saphir. A clean malt flavor is apparent on the dry finish, with a touch of yeast character that comes from our Franconian Lager yeast strain. The malts and yeast set the stage for the star of the show: The German Saphir hops. A bold, German, Noble hop character with a subtle touch of lemongrass. Most of the hop character comes from late hop additions and dry hopping.
BIERGARTEN HERO / KOLSCH / 5% ABV
With its origins in Cologne, Germany, Biergarten Hero is the beer-dictionary definition of the word crisp. Water's End's Biergarten Hero starts off with the VERY best European malts and hops and we add a little know-how and patience. In traditional Kölsch tradition, we use a true Kölsch bier yeast strain and a fermentation regimen. Kölsch is a hybrid beer style, meaning that it uses ale yeast and is cold conditioned like a lager. The best of both worlds, if you ask us!
W22 / AMBER LAGER / 5% ABV
Inspired by the W22 Amber Ale, this crisp, easy drinking lager has the same nutty caramel sweetness that's balanced and dry while capturing the clean profile of a lager. We used the same recipe as our ale only changing our house ale yeast for our lager yeast. Extended time in our horizontal lagering tank helps us achieve that clarity and clean finish you look for in your favorite lager.
THE STOUT / RICH & ROASTY / 7% ABV
This rich ale delivers undertones of malty dark chocolate and finishes with robust roasty flavor. The Stout tastes great but make sure you also enjoy the aroma before your first sip!
SIP OF HISTORY: PUB ALE / ESB / 5.7% ABV
A Pub Ale is a strong bitter, often referred to as English pale ale or Extra Special Bitter. It's an English ale, of moderate strength, made for drinkin' and throwing a few pints back with friends and/or soon to be friends "....down the Pub!"
Sip of History: Pub Ale has a firm bitterness that does not overpower the substantial malt and ester forward flavors. It is balanced. And a balanced beer is far too often overlooked. Ours shines with fermentation and malt character and a balancing bitterness that is refreshing and bright. You'll find it's time for another Pub Ale before you know it!
Made with the highly sought after Maris Otter floor malted barley, high sulfate water and not much else our Pub Ale would make Jolly ol' England proud!
PASSIONFRUIT ORANGE GUAVA SOUR / 5% ABV
The deliciously tart-yet-crushable nature of our base sour ale is enhanced with loads of fresh passionfruit orange guava purée added to the fermentation tank!
2025 GRAND CRU PREVIEW (8/15) / 8% ABV
The Water's End Grand Cru is rich in its complexity and tradition. This year is no different featuring a blending of wild ales from Grand Cru past and present. One barrel of Grand Cru 2024 was selected for holding as it awaits the 2025 vintage and a perfectly blended fate.
In recent years, Grand Cru Preview offers a peek behind the curtain of our annual favorite. This year the base beer was designed more specifically to stand alone while still providing the foundation for our custom wild yeast blend featured in the final product. Grand Cru Preview 2025 is a dopplebock by style. Historically brewed by German Friars near Munich, it was preferred during Lent as the heavily malted beer was rich in nutrients while they fasted through the day. The Friars called it Salvator or "liquid bread" and the strong alcohol while fasting probably passed the days a little quicker. Look for a strong malt backbone with biscuit, caramel and a little nuttiness both in the aroma and the flavor. A full mouthfeel comes from the large amount of residual sugar intentionally left behind for our wild yeast to feast as they create this year's Grand Cru.
DILLINGHAM ABBEY / BELIGIAN TRIPEL / 9% ABV
As a "tip of our hat" to the Monastic brewers of Belgium, we are proud to present 'Dillingham Abbey', a Belgian-style Tripel. Dillingham Abbey has a rich, malty sweetness and a firm, but pleasant hop presence that creates a contemplative drinking experience. You'll notice a somewhat floral and coriander-like spice character as well as some soft notes of honey and melon. No actual spices or fruit were used in the creation of this beer; those flavor notes are a direct result of a warm fermentation with our house Belgian yeast. This yeast was also used recently to ferment 'Autumn in the Ardennes' and was featured in our 'Christmas Quad' as well.
WESTRIDGE / WEST COAST IPA / 6% ABV
Named for one of our favorite local neighborhoods, this straight-forward West-Coast style IPA is loaded with Simcoe, Citra, Chinook and Amarillo hops. Hop character dominates throughout, from the bold aromas of citrus and resin to the assertively bitter finish.
DON’T HAZE ME BRO! / JUICY IPA / 7% ABV
Our flagship IPA and #1 seller year after year, Don’t Haze Me, Bro! is a juicy IPA with huge aroma from being shocked with Citra and Mosaic hops!
TRIP TO TAHITI / WHEAT ALE WITH LIME / 5% ABV
American Wheat Ale with Tahitian Lime that was brewed to capture the essence of summer in a glass!
