Duke of Warrenton

Porter | 5.8%

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.

The addition of unrefined Colombian panela sugar gives Chronicle a distinct rummy toffee finish.

Dr. Juicy’s orders: treat yourself to a tropical breeze of citrus aromas and notes of sweet, tangy fruit with this delicious juicy IPA.

Glass Castle

Pilsner | ABV 5.0%

Flavorful and yet so crush-able. 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. Every time you have one you’ll wish you had another!

Cloud Nine

Obsidian Castle

Tmavé Special | 6.0%

Black Banshee

Irish Dry Stout | 4.6%

A black beer with a pronounced roasted flavor, often similar to coffee. The balance can range from fairly even to quite bitter, with the more balanced versions having a little malty sweetness and the bitter versions being quite dry. The roasted flavor can be dry and coffee-like to somewhat chocolaty. Draught versions typically are creamy from a nitro pour.
