Pika Pale Ale (5.3% ABV, 30 IBU)

This beer is a collaborative effort between Great Burn Brewing and the Great Burn Study Group (GBSG) with a portion of all sales donated to the study group.  The GBSG held a contest to name this beer.   The winner is Pika Pale Ale.   Help support the proposed Great Burn Wilderness by drinking craft beer.

This English-style Pale Ale is brewed with Montana Two Row, Vienna, Crystal and Cherrywood smoked malts, and flavored with Magnum and Cascade hops.  When designing this beer the GBSG decided they wanted a hint of smoke and low hop aroma.  This beer starts with a sweet malty flavor of a Pale Ale followed by a blast of smoke that finishes with slight bitterness of cascade hops and smoky aftertaste. 

 

Wine Barrel Aged Spiced Belgian Ale (6.3% ABV, 13 IBU)

This specialty ale consists of our Spiced Belgian Ale aged in Port Wine barrel.  The ale by itself already had a nice fruitiness and spiced (ginger and rose hips) flavors.  Our Spiced Belgian is brewed with 1/3 wheat and has very low bitterness.  The star of this beer is the Belgian yeast that produces the strong fruitiness and phenolic characteristics.  The barrel aging has added a more complex flavor profile with a mild sour note on top of the fruitiness of ale.
