Lake Haze #27: Polar Plunge

This hazy DIPA was hopped almost entirely with Cryo Hops – a product made by cryogenically freezing hops to isolate resins and aromatic oils. Sweet, overripe tropical fruit dominates the palate while wheat and oats create a silky-smooth base.

FOR THE LOVE OF LAGER: PRE-PROHIBITION

We designed this lager to resemble those brewed in the US leading up to Prohibition. The combination of 6-Row barley malt & flaked corn provides a light body. Chevallier Heritage Malt, made from one of the most widely used barley varieties of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds color & an intense malty-sweet flavor. Cluster hops balance out that sweetness with just the right amount of bitterness & floral hop character.

HALLERTAU BLANC KÖLSCH

We used traditional German brewing techniques to create this homage to the style originated in Cologne, Germany. Decoction mashing adds malt character, improves clarity, and helps us achieve a dry finish. First wort hopping imparts a smooth bitterness, making this light ale exceptionally drinkable.

LICHTENHAINER

This historic beer style may be sparse in today’s market, but it was widely available throughout
Central Germany in the mid to late 1800s. This tart ale is brewed with Oak Smoked Wheat Malt &
Cherry Wood Smoked Barley Malt.

BOCK ON!

Light and Dark Munich malts create the base for this malty German-style lager. We took that traditional base and turned it up to eleven – employing a single decoction mash to intensify its rich malt character. Bock On!

ENGLISH PALE MILD ALE

This English Style Session Ale is very light in body and alcohol content but packed with toffee flavor from English malts.

FOR THE LOVE OF LAGER: MUNICH-STYLE DUNKEL

Munich malts provide smooth notes of toasted bread with a slight hint of honey. A decoction mash keeps the beer dry and drinkable while simultaneously boosting malt flavor. And a process called spunding captures the natural CO2 from fermentation, providing proper carbonation that is smoother on the tongue.

 

O’DAY’S IRISH STOUT

A traditional Irish style dry stout brewed with flaked and roasted barley and infused with nitrogen. Pleasantly roasty with a touch of smoke and chocolate.

THE MAIBUCK

This is our Pennsylvania take on a German-style Maibock. Pale in color, this lager boasts strong malt flavors and a medium/high alcohol content while still finishing light on the palate.

Lake Vibes IPA

We utilized Belma, Citra, and Huell Melon hops to impart refreshing flavors of grapefruit, orange zest, and honeydew into this extra pale IPA. Blonde roasted oats and wheat malt provide a silky-smooth body.
