As the nights grow cool, the leaves on the valley oaks begin to turn and fall. In honor of this yearly dance, we bring you Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale and invite you to enjoy the show. We use malt within days of roasting at the peak of its flavor to give Tumbler a gracefully smooth malt character. So pour a glass, and grab a window seat to watch as the leaves come tumbling down.

Canadian Dark Ale
Strength (ABV): 
6.8% ABV
Bitterness (IBU): 
93 IBU

What is C.D.A. you ask? Cascadian Dark Ale is a style that emerged on the NW Coast of North America in the early 21st Century. NW hops are prominent, balanced with malt, roast malts give color and flavor, but body should be reminiscent of an IPA, not heavy like a porter or stout. The style is not only gaining traction w/ brewers in the Pacifice Northwest, but is starting to spread to other regions. In this specific brew you will find aromas of Cascade, Amarillo, and Centennial hops float over a gentle undercurrent of subtle malt complexities.

Mikkeller Jackie Brown

Product - Mikkeller Jackie Brown
Brewed By: 
Mikkeller
Self-Defined Style: 
Brown Ale
Strength (ABV): 
6.0% ABV

Brewed at Ørbæk Bryggeri, Ørbæk, Denmark.

Had it been Quentin Tarantinos heroine Jackie Brown, she would probably have said, 'Shut your raggedy ass up', and that would have been that. But this is Mikkeller's Jackie Brown and it’s somewhat more mildly mannered. In fact this beautiful, brown beer’s characteristically; roasted malt taste nearly ends like chocolate on the tongue. And then it wouldn’t be a Mikkeller beer if it wasn’t well hopped. Here the green gold makes an otherwise dark beer surprisingly fresh and easy to drink.
