Our Beer

Flavorful, yet eminently drinkable. The delicate balance between bready malt and spicy and grassy Czech hops make it obvious why this beer inspired the lager revolution. Glass Castle is Silver Branch’s holy grail—getting this elusive style right reflects the passion we bring to the craft and science of brewing.

We use reverse osmosis-soft water, imported Bohemian barley and Saaz hops, and a traditional decoction mash to give you a classic Bohemian Pilsener that is smooth and satisfying.

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.

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!

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.

Golden Strong Ale was Belgium’s answer to beer drinkers’ increasing preference for golden lagers in the early 20th century. Lore has it that the brewer deemed his creation a “devil of a beer.” We consider it devilish for its combination of easy drinkability yet substantial strength. Gilded Age is beautiful subtle—fruity apple and pear notes from the yeast and just a tad spicy from the Saaz hops with a bit of alcohol warmth in the finish.

We’ve nitro-canned our delicious Foreign Extra Stout for an even more luscious and smooth finish! Unrefined Panela sugar adds a toffee note to the smooth roast and rich malt reminiscent of dark chocolate, caramel, and coffee!

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 liaison 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!

The Oracle Speaks is a pale weizenbock with a deep orange hue and a rich, bready malt flavor from dark Munich and Vienna malts. Brewed with 50% pale wheat malt, this beer exudes huge banana and clove aroma and flavor backed up by rich malt flavor, with a mild alcohol warmth in the finish. Well-known commercial examples include Aventinus and Vitus. Fans of authentic German-style wheat beers will love this. The clove and banana flavors derive from the classic Weihenstephan 380 Hefeweizen yeast and precision temperature control. The hopping of the beer is very low–most of the balance for the malt comes from the slight bitterness and drying that comes from the high alcohol content. With very few readily available commercial examples this a truly unique beer.
