Enjoy the Buzz

Our taproom was built in the 1960s as an auto showroom for Volkswagen so it features a 180-degree glass facade that allows our guests to enjoy the downtown skyline and watch the cars buzz by. We wanted to stay true to the original design so you’ll see mid-century modern decor throughout. Plush couches, textured walls and quartz countertops help accentuate the eclectic vibe. During the day, the taproom is flooded with natural light, but at night, it takes on a completely different vibe of city lights and sexy ambiance.

Haus Pils

5.0%
Pilsner - Other
Barrique Brewing and Blending
Inspired by our love of continental pilsners Haus Pils is brewed with a blend of Weyermann Barke Pilsner malt and Domestic pilsner malt. Single decocted and fermented with our favorite German lager yeast. Hopped throughout the boil with Michigan grown Zuper Saaz and Oregon grown Sterling we feel these two hops in combination provide the classic European flavors and aromas you'd expect in a European pilsner while abiding to our environmental sustainability goal. Delicate grainy and grassy pilsner malt notes lay the base for the "nobleish" hops to shine. Light floral, fresh grass, and citrus aromas with a bone dry clean finish.

Schwarzbier
Xul Beer Company
A classic Schwarzbier that’s as smooth as it is drinkable. Light-bodied with balanced notes of chocolate, coffee, and a hint of roast, this black lager delivers rich flavor without the weight and finishes crisp and dry.

Bright

5.5%
Pilsner - Italian
Respect the day, honor the night. These journeys through mortality, the facing of immense questions of our finite ends. And yet there shall always remain one reaffirming truth. After the darkness comes the bright light. A take on crisp, herbaceous, and uber-refreshing Italian-style Pilsner. A blend of pilsner malts create the base, while a collection of German hops provide the bright aromatics and floral flavor components. After a slow step-down crash, we dry-hopped with Hallertau Blanc, Huell Melon and Grungeist. The beer then lagers for many moons before delivering this burst of dry Verdicchio wine, strawberry soda, and citrus-baked pastry.

People Who Exist To Be Terrified of Existing

Double dry-hopped with Peacharine, Riwaka, Anchovy, and Simcoe Hyperboost.
