Delusional Optimist 2

Hazy IPA | 7.6%

What happens when the cold, hard reality of COVID winter goes up against Silver Branch’s very own delusional optimist? It’s a smackdown of epic proportions! But, when you put a hazy hop bomb in this man’s glass, there is no way you can conquer his optimism! Brewed with copious amounts of Strata, Sabro Incognito, Citra LupoMax, and Mosaic, this is one tropical hop bomb sure to renew your own sense of optimism!

Gilded Age

Golden Strong | 9.2%

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.

Unicycle Vigilante

Bockbier | 6.8% ABV

A wallet was dropped, then grabbed by a would-be thief. Enter our hero: A Silver Spring brewery Über-fan on his trusty one-wheeled hoverboard. After recovering the dropped wallet, our unicycle-riding fan returned to his primary mission of personifying Gemütlichkeit and good cheer. Silver Branch and Astro Lab collaborated to celebrate this mutual friend with a traditional bockbier to welcome winter. Malty and smooth wit a subtle caramel sweetness in the finish, Unicycle Vigilante is the perfect beer to raise your spirits on a cold and dreary day, or to raise them even higher on a beautiful, sunny one! Raise a glass to good deeds and spreading warmth and happiness among people.

High Time

Triple Dry-Hopped Imperial IPA | 9.2%

It’s High Time you poured yourself another celebration of hops from Silver Branch! Brewed with Samba, Motueka, Mosaic Incognito, and Simcoe, this one’s a tropical hop bomb! Close your eyes and inhale the heady aromas and you’ll imagine yourself skiing through drifts of pure lupulin powder!

Baxter & Harold

Old Ale | 8.0%

BAXTER & HAROLD harkens back to brewing traditions of yore, so slip on a tweed jacket and your best faux-British accent and pour yourself a pint! A mildly smoky and oaky Old Ale, BAXTER & HAROLD is brewed with pale and crystal malts, with a small addition of molasses and pear-smoked malt, then aged on oak. Best enjoyed in your favorite easy chair by a fire!

OBSIDIAN CASTLE

Tmavé Special | 6.0%

This dark lager drinks smooth and malty with mild chocolate notes rather than burnt or roasted malt flavors. A generous dose of Czech-grown Saaz hops round out this stronger-than-average Tmavé Pivo

Beyond the Gnome World

Saison | 4.9%

Silver Branch will stop at nothing as we sail to new horizons in search of beer excellence! Beyond the Gnome World is a classical saison, brewed with pilsner malt, Saaz hops, and a blend of Saison yeasts from two Belgian breweries!

SQUEEGEE MASTER w/Pink Guava & Tahitian Lime

Gose | 4.7%

Like drinking a fresh ocean breeze, this sour ale is brewed with Guava and Tahitian Lime to bring fresh tropical notes that taste beautifully alongside coriander, grains of paradise, and Himalayan pink salt.

Lord Squeegee Tropical Cocktail

Imperial Gose | 7.8% ABV

You won’t settle for just any ordinary sour. With Lord Squeegee at your service, you don’t have to. He stops at nothing to ensure you receive only the very best. Pineapple, tangerine, and a hint of orgeat give this refreshingly tart ale a flavor reminiscent of a tropical-inspired cocktail!

This beer is made with ingredients that contain tree nuts and wheat

Silver Century

Abbey Quadruppel | 11.2%

Silver Century Abbey Quadruple brings big, rich aromas of figs and dates candied with nutmeg and mace w/ a generous measure of rum. Deep flavors of dates, figs and raisins are backed by rich malt and a pleasing, lingering alcohol warmth. This 11.2% quad is perfect for any time, but may reach it’s pinnacle as a part of your holiday dinner dessert.

Sacred Table

Abbey Single | 5.3

ncredibly flavorful abbey ale inspired by the everyday beers enjoyed by Trappist monks. Soft golden color and an intense, spicy Belgian yeast profile. All the character of a hop-forward, yeast-driven Belgian ale without the higher alcohol.

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

Lost in the Fog

California Common | ABV 5.1% | IBU 38

Conceived in the mists of San Francisco Bay during th gold rush, this warm-fermented lager is toasty, slightly fruity and refreshing

Glass Castle

Pilsener | ABV 5.0% | IBU 40

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.

Quantum Shift

Quantum Shift will shake your sense of reality and shift your expectations of a flagship IPA. With so many hops—and new ones being bred all the time—who wants to drink the same IPA every day? Not us! We brew every batch with a different hop recipe. Expect an ever-shifting array of flavors to feed your fresh hop addiction. Check which hops you are drinking with this batch at quantumshiftIPA.com.

Chronicle

Tropical Stout | ABV 6.5% | IBU 26

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.
