Description: Traditional stout with lots of malt flavor and Cascade hops Why I like it: This beer manages to be subtle and robust all at the same time.
Description: American IPA made with British malts and predominately Simcoe hops. Great armoa and smooth dry finish. Why I like it: My favorite beer. Period. This is one that helped put Foothills on the map. It has lots of great flavor from both the malts and the hops.
Description: A traditional full-bodied stout brewed with lactose (milk sugar) Why I like it: It is subtly sweet and nicely balanced with the roasted grains.
Description: A robust English-style Porter, hints of coffee, caramel, and toffee Why I like it: This is a dark beer that doesn’t drink like a dark beer. It’s very smooth and surprisingly refreshing.
Description: American Wild Ale, tart and sour Why I like it: This is one of the best examples of this type of beer – it’s very pungent and a great change of pace.
Description: A cocoa-infused Imperial Stout with notes of toffee and dark fruit Why I like it: This is a ‘bucket list’ beer. The aroma alone will get you; complex flavors in each sip.
Description: A pale ale with a slightly malty body balanced with hop flavor Why I like it: It has a great balance in the malt and hops and it’s a very aromatic beer.
