Vespucci Connection
Dry Hopped Pilsner
5.4
In 1501 Amerigo Vespucci determined that South America was a separate continent—a fact far more important than most beer lovers realize. Unwittingly, explorers played matchmaker between a cold-tolerant yeast from Patagonia and a long-established Eurasian brewing yeast. The result of this liasion was the yeast used to ferment lager beer. We brewed Vespucci Connection as a classic German Pilsner with a small dry hop to celebrate this most positive of intercontinental connections
Squid Vicious
Double Oat IPA
8.6%
While he is used to being mistaken as the front man for a 70s punk band, Squid Vicious is actually an aficionado of aggressively hopped IPAs. This, his namesake beer, is made with naked oats, oat malt, and flaked oats and generously hopped with Sabro, Citra, Galaxy, and Hallertau Blanc. Drinking Squid Vicious is like swimming in hops!

Delusional Optimist
Hazy IPA
7.8% ABV
Starting a business requires a high degree of optimism, and sometimes, a certain disconnectedness from reality. Early on, one of Silver Branch’s founders was fondly nicknamed “Delusional Optimist” by his colleagues for the accuracy of his time estimates. We named this hazy IPA in his honor—and it only took twice as long as it was predicted it would take! Made with Citra “incognito” hop concentrates, Sabro Cryohops and Grüngeist and Hallertau Blanc, this beer will make you feel eternally optimistic!

Amber-colored, malty, mild ale that has been a mainstay in British pubs for hundreds of years. Ruby Dragon is smooth, satisfyingly malty, but not sweet. It finishes with a hint of biscuity-nutty complexity from prized Maris Otter malt, and a tiny bit of dark-roasted malt.
Chronicle
Foreign Extra Stout
ABV 6.5%
Tropical stout has evolved as it has migrated from its Irish birthplace to being brewed in the American, African and Asian tropics. Silver Branch’s Chronicle continues that ongoing story. We’ve married smooth roast with luscious malt to give you a beer reminiscent of dark chocolate, rich caramel, and coffee. The addition of unrefined Colombian panela sugar gives Chronicle a distinct rummy toffee finish.

Eye of Nectaron
India Pale Ale
7%
Heavenly Hell
Helles
5.0

6.8%

Malty, smooth, and refreshing, with the slightest hint of toast from the dark malt, Mondo Mundo is inspired by the golden lager 19th century immigrants brought back from Vienna to Mexico City, which developed into the dark Mexican version we know and love today.
Landbier
Amber Lager
5.5%
In Franconia, Germany, most small country villages still have one or more breweries that make their own signature “Landbier” lager and serve it in picturesque biergartens. Our take on Landbier is a sessionable amber lager brewed with Munich and Pilsner malts and Saphir and Santiam hops. This is the lager you never knew you’ve always needed!
Golden Goat
Blonde Bock
6.6%
Many myths surround Bock—the malty lager whose name means “goat” in German. It’s certainly not the residue left at the bottom of the tank! And despite goats having become closely associated with Bock, it’s not named after a goat but rather the city of Einbeck. Lightly hopped with traditional Hallertau Mittelfrüh, personally, we believe Golden Goat is probably the G.O.A.T.
Gnome for the Holidays
Saison
7.6%
The Gnomes LOVE heading home for the holidays! We’ve brewed this strong saison with dark Belgian candi sugar for a bit of caramel complexity alongside the classic Saison pepper and spice yeast character. Bring some home this season.
