The year-round collection includes Imperial Minute Man, Mango Wheat, Duke of Clouds, Gose-Rilla, Local Lager, 40 Mile, Minute Man, and Leave Your Mark, with rotating seasonals and small-batch experiments. The spirits side, led by Head Distiller Pete Zeitler, produces bourbon and whiskey expressions such as Hatchet Head, Orion, Stave & Stout, and The Priest. Canned craft cocktails made with premium vodka and real fruit juice round out the beverage selection.
