Brewer's Alley's Brewhouse Creations

1634 Ale (Year round) Photo available.  Click here
"1634 Ale" was created by Tom Flores, master brewer at Brewer's Alley, following research of historic recipes and raw materials available in centuries past. "We used ingredients that would have been found in the austere conditions of early colonial Maryland," said Flores of his rye-based ale recipe that also includes malted wheat, molasses and caraway. Flores says caramel and dark malts round out the flavor of the "lighter bodied ale." For more details...

Kölsch (Year round) Photo available.  Click here
This style originated in the area of Cologne, Germany. It exhibits the more desirable features of both ales and lagers. Our Kölsch is pale gold with light body and a slightly dry palate. It has a mild bitterness and delicate hop aroma. This beer is a clean and pleasant thirst quencher, which earned a Bronze Medal at the 1998 Great American Beer Festival. 4.6 - 5.0% alcohol, by volume.

India Pale Ale (I.P.A.) (Year round) Photo available.  Click here
A British style, the I.P.A. originates from the aggressively hopped and high-alcohol beers which were shipped to the British troops in colonial India. Pale to medium amber in color. 5.0 - 5.4% alcohol, by volume.

Nut Brown Ale (Year round) Photo available.  Click here
Another British style that has a roasted nut-like aroma. Brewed with a number of dark malts, which lend a complex malt character. This beer does not have a lot of hop bitterness, only enough for balance. 5.2 - 5.6% alcohol, by volume.

Dunkel Weizen (Perennial Seasonal Beer)
This is a dark version of the weizen beer style. The grist contains a large portion of wheat, which lends a distinctive note to the malt body and aroma. This style is traditionally un-filtered and can have significant haze and cloudiness. Our Dunkle Weizen is brewed with a traditional Bavarian weizen yeast, which gives it a very pronounced clove and spice character, as well as a fruity aroma. 4.4 - 4.8% alcohol, by volume.

Oatmeal Stout (Year round) Photo available.  Click here
Yet another British style. Stouts are black beers which have strong roast and burnt characteristics. The dark malts used give this beer a wonderfully rich aroma and taste. It is not hopped very heavily and oats are used in this particular style because they lend a fuller mouthfeel. 6.0 - 6.2% alcohol, by volume.

Trinity Stout (Perennial Seasonal Beer) Photo available.  Click here
This is a "slow-pour" stout, which is very easy drinking and has a velvety texture, mild bitterness, and rich full roasty malt character. 4.5% alcohol, by volume (St. Patrick's Day into April).

Maibock (Perennial Seasonal Beer) Photo available.  Click here
A very malty beer with a fair amount of residual sweetness. The hop character is subdued, with a delicate aroma and just enough bitterness to balance the sweet finish. This beer is intended to be consumed at a leisurely pace, since it has some strength. 6.8% alcohol by volume (late-April into May).

Hefe-Weizen (Perennial Seasonal Beer) Photo available.  Click here
This is the lightest style of weizen beer. The grist contains a large portion of wheat, which lends a distinctive note to the malt body and aroma. This style is traditionally unfiltered and can have significant haze and cloudiness. Also, it has been brewed with a traditional Bavarian weizen yeast, which gives it a pronounced clove and spicy character, as well as banana and bubblegum, and even some slight vanilla notes. 4.6% alcohol by volume (June, July, August and into September).

Pils Year Round Beer and Available in Bottles at Your Favorite Liquor Store (Year Round) Photo available.  Click here
A very pale beer brewed as a lager and which has a crisp, assertive Czechoslovakian Saaz hop character. This beer took 6 weeks to produce because the strain of yeast we used has a slow and cold fermentation, which results in a very smooth beer. 4.3% alcohol by volume.

Oktoberfest (Perennial Seasonal Beer)
Brewed especially for early fall, this scrumptious lager has a deeper red color than most lager beers, and a rich maltiness. Not only does this beer match the color of autumn leaves, but it also goes well with many foods; particularly red-meat dishes with herbs, as well as grilled fish. And of course, this beer complements the classic German combination of sauerkraut and wurst. 5.2% alcohol by volume (late-September into October).

Scotch Ale (Perennial Seasonal Beer)
The warming sensation of this strong beer goes nicely with the cold fall and winter months. It has a very rich malt character, residual sweetness, delicate bouquet, and alcohol strength. This beer is served in specially shaped thistle-glasses, which allows the beer to be held in the hand to warm up and release its aroma into the flared top-portion of the glass. 7.5% alcohol, by volume (late October into December).

Owen's Ale (Other Seasonal)
This is a classic English Bitter. It is well balanced and has a light hop and malty aroma. The color is somewhat darker than that of pale ales, leaning more towards ruby red. Light in body and alcohol and easy to drink, this beer is one that can be consumed comfortably throughout a long evening at the pub. Owen's Ale won a Silver medal at the Real Ale Festival 2001, in Chicago, Illinois. 4.5% alcohol by volume.

Smoked Porter (Other seasonal)
A slight variation of the porter style in that we used beechwood smoked malt in a portion of the grist. This lends a distinctive smoke character to the taste and aroma. We also use Munich, Caramel, and Chocolate malt in this beer. The hop character comes through a little in the aroma, but is mostly in the bitterness to balance the intense malt character. 5.8% alcohol, by volume.

Wedding Alt (Other seasonal)
This beer has a subtle hop aroma from the addition of hops directly to the fermentor (a technique referred to as "dry-hopping" or "dry-hopped"). It has a clean and light taste, with a dry finish. The crisp dryness is derived largely from the use of Munich-style malts in the grist. Caramel and Chocolate malts were also used, resulting in a beer which is very easy to drink but also has some maltiness in the finish. All the hops used were imported from Germany and Czechoslovakia (Hallertau and Saaz hops). The beer was brewed as a special beer for the 1999 wedding of our Brewmaster, Tom. 4.6% alcohol by volume.

Barleywine (Other seasonal)
This is a very special type of beer. It is about as strong as they come. We actually brewed this beer using a sour-mash technique, and then fermented it beer with our house ale strain. After a short conditioning period in the fermentor, the beer was moved into kegs for long-term storage. So this beer can be considered "keg conditioned". It typically requires many months of maturation before it reaches its peak flavor balance. This beer could be considered an aperitif, or it can be enjoyed with a meal. 10.5% alcohol, by volume.
