Amber Lager
5.5%
Colorado Native Amber Lager is a brilliant amber lager made with pale and caramel malts from Moravian two-row barley grown in the San Luis Valley. Its malt character has been carefully balanced against select bittering hops,resulting in a full-flavored, yet balanced beer. Lager yeast fermentation gives rise to a slight fruitiness, which complements a citrus aroma character from a late kettle hop addition. The beer delivers a clean taste and dry finish. Native is great solo, but also pairs well with a wide range of foods.

Plum
6.5%
Colorado Native Plum is brewed with delicious Duarte plums grown in Palisade, Colorado. The plums are a dark shade of mahogany that go perfectly with an amber sour beer made of pale and caramel malts we had resting in Colorado whiskey barrels with our house micro-organisms.The beer has a rich, fruity flavor with some notes of vanilla and oak. It went perfectly with the addition of plums at a rate of one and a half pounds per gallon. The resulting beer is a deep red color, dry and tart, but with a complex richness.

Olathe
5.6%
Colorado Native Olathe. Whether it is fruits, vegetables, grains, or hops, the fertile ground from Fruita to Palisade down to Montrose and from Paonia to Delta produces world-class agriculture.To celebrate the harvest season, we brew this lager as a tip of the hat to those Colorado farmers who work the ground to feed us all. To provide the backbone for this German-style lager, we mashed in Charles two-row winter barley, Moravian two-row barley and world-renowned Olathe corn. We added Crystal and Nugget hops, grown in Olathe, within a mile of the barley and corn. The resulting taste has a rich, malty honey character with clean bitterness.

Apricot
5.5%
Colorado Native Apricot melded in gently used oak barrels for one year with brettanomyces and our house souring organisms. Fresh apricots from Palisade, Colorado were added,and aged for four more months. Its golden base beer allows the local fruit to shine, and a pleasant acidity is met with a dry finish, creating a well-rounded, apricot forward beer. Finally, it is bottle conditioned with more brettanomyces and wine yeast for another layer of complexity.

Colorado Native Golden Lager is brewed for those who want a locally brewed, all-Colorado beer, but don't want the overpowering malt and hops of other locally brewed ales and lagers.It delivers more than the mainstream pilsners, yet remains perfectly balanced and drinkable. This Golden Lager delivers the full flavor of a fine import or craft beer, but with a great deal more drinkability.

India Pale Lager
6.0%
Colorado Native IPL is a clean-tasting, hoppy beer made with lager yeast (vs. ale yeast). We don't believe the world needs another IPA. We do, however, believe there is room for a beer that is similar to an IPA,but is one that highlights the hop character as only a lager can do. An IPA done better, if you will. To get this clean, crisp character, we brewed an IPA-style beer, using lager yeast. The lager yeast is superior in this case because it doesn't create all of the fruity esters and fusel alcohols that ale yeast creates, so it allows the delicate hop oils to shine through in the beer.

Pilsner
5.0%
Colorado Native Pilsner is brewed with 100% Colorado grown and malted barley. Other Colorado breweries buy the majority of their barley malt from out-of-state malt houses. To give Colorado Native Pilsner its clean,crisp, and amazingly drinkable character, we begin with our proprietary Moravian two-row barley. Estate-grown Tettnang, Crystal, and Mt. Hood hops are added to give this Pilsner its subtle floral and spicy aroma and balanced bitterness. After brewing, we chill-lager the beer at 1º Celsius to develop its distinctive taste and crisp, clean finish. We believe you will find Colorado Native Pilsner to be a Colorado inspired, one-of-a-kind interpretation of a classic beer style.

This velvety, complex imperial porter pairs particularly well with grilled meats, caramelized vegetables and dark beefy stews.
