American Tripel
With over 5,000 years of brewing history, Belgians certainly know their beer. But they probably wouldn’t recognize this. American Tripel takes Belgian tradition and subverts it, dosing the usual clove and banana character with a heap of hops. Rather than hitting your nose with the familiar Belgian esters, American Tripel comes at you with huge […]
Chris Hussey, Warehouse Manager
Allow us to introduce to you the master- nay, the magician that keeps the brewery running: Chris Hussey, Warehouse Manager. While the brewers focus on fermenting, the packaging crew on bottling, and the taproom staff on pouring, Chris Hussey monitors and tracks all of that and more. How many kegs of Copper Alt does the […]
Nut Brown
School is starting, the light is slowly fading from our summer evenings, and we’re looking ahead to September’s crisp days. It’s once again time for Nut Brown. If beers were sorted into Hogwarts Houses, Nut Brown would be a Hufflepuff through and through. Rarely getting any glory, yet always a steady companion, the humble brown […]
Gose
While the trend of sour ales has swept through the craft industry, we’ve largely steered clear of brewing such unpredictable styles. Until now. Sort of. Releasing this Friday in the taproom, taste the Gose (GOHS-uh), a historical sour style with the tartness you’ve been craving. Unlike sour ales that develop their mouth pucker in the […]
Motueka Saison
Straddling the line of traditional and innovative, Motueka Saison is an old-school brew showcasing new-school hops. The brain-child of Assistant Brewer Keith Gascoigne, this ale stays true to historical saison styles as a sessionable beer created to enjoy in succession after a hard day’s work in the dog days of summer. The addition of Motueka […]

That job is easy when we partner with passionate movers and shakers for a common goal. Justina McConnell is an example of one such customer who makes […]
Barrel-Aged Hibiscus Saison
Complex but not overbearing, tart and refreshing without undue sweetness, Barrel-Aged Hibiscus Saison returns to the taproom this Friday, July 15. The botanical beauty everyone has fallen in love with took a short turn in gin barrels this past month, and the result is a delicate overlay of herbal and oak goodness. With just a […]
Craig Reier, Director of Marketing and Events
A man of many contrasts, reducing such a richly dimensional human to print is quite the challenge. We’ve done our best here to bring you all you need to know about your erstwhile bartender, occasional tour leader, and regular karaoke performer: Craig Reier. Craig got his start in the craft beer world working behind the […]
Pilsner
Temperatures are climbing and summer is only barely underway. What to do to beat the heat? Take a sip of this: our new small batch Pilsner, releasing this Friday at the taproom. This German-inspired lager is just the crisp, cool quaff to get you through the upcoming sweltering days of summer. Following German tradition, we […]
Crawfish Boil
Crayfish. Crawdads. Mudbugs. They go by a lot of names, but everyone mostly just calls them delicious. And they’re coming to Zipline July 1st. Join us for the second Crawfish Boil hosted by Big Luv’s BBQ and Zipline Brewing, held right here at the taproom. Big Luv’s will be serving up a traditional crawfish boil, […]
