T-1

Style: Patersbier/Belgian Single
ABV: 6.8%
IBU: 21
SRM: 2

This is a true Belgian Single Ale. There are very few commercial options available for this type of beer, as the Trappist monks traditionally only brew it for their own consumption within the monastery where it is made.

This is one of the most simple, yet complex, beers that you will find. Celebrate the trinity: one hop, one malt and one yeast!  Spicy, malty, and Belgian through and through, without the heavy ABV.

This was the first beer that we produced and it continues to be a favorite today.

LAC – Lake Andrew unCommon

Style: Steam Ale
ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 40
SRM: 11

This beer is brewed in the style of a Steam Ale with one exception – the yeast. Steam Ale was designed by brewers at the turn of the century who were using scraps left over from their brew day. The beer always had some barley, rye, corn, hops and lager yeast.

Because refrigeration at the turn of the century was hard to come by, they fermented their beer using lager yeast at room temperature. Our recipe replicates this tradition with everything but the lager yeast.

We use good old-fashioned American Ale yeast, fermented at a slightly warmer temperature, which allows the yeast to let off some fruity esters to give the beer more character.

Bliss

Style: Chocolate Oatmeal Stout
ABV: 5.1%
IBU: 35
SRM: 37

Our Stout literally tastes like a dark chocolate oatmeal cookie in a glass. We took a classic oatmeal stout brewed with traditional English yeast and added dark chocolate roasted barley malt.

Believe it or not, there is actually no chocolate in this beer, as the chocolate flavor all comes from the malt.

Cycology

Style: Red IPA
ABV: 6.1%
IBU: 71
SRM: 11

In a market like Minnesota there are plenty of great IPAs. Being a Minnesota brewery, we knew that we needed an outstanding IPA! We also knew that we needed something truly different, so in true Tilion fashion, we created something unique – a Red IPA.

This is a real malt-forward beer with a fruity red base that we hopped with our favorite hops: Columbus, Chinook, Cascade, and Citra.

Death’s Door Tart Cherry Wheat

Style: American Wheat
ABV: 5.2%
IBU: 26
SRM: 3

There is nothing like a wheat beer in the summer time and this is, hands down, one of our favorites!  We knew that we wanted to make a wheat beer that was a little different from the rest. During a Memorial Day trip to Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin, I fell in love not only with the island, but also with the tart cherries grown there. I figured that they would make a great malty, yet tart, beer!

This is a refreshing wheat beer with a slight tart cherry finish.

Roger, Roger

Style: American Pale Ale
ABV: 5.1%
IBU: 36
SRM: 2

We created “Roger, Roger” as our entry-level craft beer designed with our fathers and grandfathers in mind. That is to say, all of us who grew up on macro-brewed American Lagers. Sometimes making that leap to “craft” beer is a little scary, so we tried to remove as many of the barriers as possible.

In addition, you can feel good about drinking this beer because a portion of the proceeds from sales of this beer go directly back to those Minnesota men and women in the armed forces who have served overseas. We believe that freedom isn’t free and, while there are many great programs out there for our service men and women, we can always do more for those in need.

This is a light American Ale with enough hops to make most craft beer fans happy, yet easily drinkable for those who have yet to make the leap.
