We finally have labels for It Just Does Weird Things, our juicy IPA dry hopped with Mosaic, Citra & El Dorado. And today, we are releasing 4-pack cans. This has quickly become a crowd favorite, and we will be brewing this several times over the next month—so there will surely be plenty to go around. Cheers.

The 2018 version of L’automne was brewed with buckwheat, earl grey tea & orange peel, fermented with our house saison yeast strain, and refermented in the bottle with a blend of Brettanomyces. The result is a rustic, earthy & floral beer with notes of orange, hay, & black tea and a complex malt profile.

Read MoreWe just finished canning a new double dry hopped version of Everything Eventually — this one featuring the Australian hop Vic Secret. Just like for Everything Eventually, we first dry hopped the beer with Citra — then we added an additional dry hop with Vic Secret. The result is a beer with a ton of passionfruit, grapefruit, pineapple & pine aroma/flavor. Cans are now available for to-go purchase in the taproom. We will also be unveiling this tropical paradise land of a beer at Great Taste this weekend & at our pre party at Mint Mark. Cheers.

Read MoreThe time has come for the release of this year’s L’été, our summer seasonal saison. For 2018 L’été, we selected a small number of our favorite barrels containing aged mixed fermentation saison. The result is a dry beer with a complex Brett expression and subtle acidity, with notes of ripe pineapple, lemon, hay, funk, and oak. The beer in this year’s blend was fermented and aged entirely in used red or white wine barrels with a mixed culture of Brettanomyces and souring bacteria. AND this marks our first time bottling a mixed fermentation beer. After bottle conditioning with additional Brett for nearly 4 months, we absolutely love how this beer turned out. It’s everything we love about mixed fermentation saison.
Read MoreToday, we are releasing cans of The Only Time is Party Time, our milk stout brewed with toasted coconut and cold brew coffee. It’s tasting extra smooth and delicious. Due to a few issues with our canning line, we only have a handful of cases available.
Read MoreToday, we are finally releasing cans of Luxe and Reduxe, our milk stout brewed in celebration of Door County Brewing Co.’s 5 year anniversary.

Cheers.
Read MoreThis Friday, 6/29, we are releasing MOTEL CITROEN, a Norwegian-inspired farmhouse ale brewed with key lime zest & lemon verbena and fermented with a Norwegian kveik strain. This bottle conditioned version of Motel Citroen is pure magic—a subtly complex combo of lemon/lime aroma/flavor and a wide array of tropical fruit notes produced from fermenting this Norwegian farmhouse strain at extremely high temperatures.
Read MoreToday we’re are releasing our third canned beer—WHATEVER FEELS RIGHT, our peach milkshake IPA brewed with lactose sugar. We are super pumped with how this latest batch of our peach milkshake IPA turned out. The peach & tropical fruit/citrus notes are jumping out of the can.

Read MoreToday, we are releasing 4-pack cans of Closer Everywhere, packaged yesterday.

Read MoreWe are excited to announce the release of Le Printemps, our Spring seasonal saison brewed with raw Wisconsin honey and dry hopped with Huell Melon hops. Le Printemps is brewed as a reflection of the Spring season—snow melting, weather warming, green slowly returning. Expect a rustic, dry beer with notes of citrus, spice, melon, and honey.
Le Printemps was the first batch we brewed on our new 15-barrel brewhouse back in late January. This beer also represents another important milestone for both our Hacienda Beer Co. and Door County Brewing Co. brands, as this is our first beer ever bottled in Baileys Harbor.
Read MoreIn late March, we received a shipment that we've been eagerly awaiting since announcing this Hacienda project back in February—three oak foeders from Foeder Crafters of America in St. Louis. Foeder Crafters have made foeders for a bunch of well-known sour producers in the US, including New Belgium Brewing, Side Project Brewing, The Bruery, and Trillium Brewing, among many others, and are the only producers of American foeders. Although ours are on the smaller size (7 barrels each), these oak vessels will allow us to substantially increase the production of our mixed fermentation beers. The first of these three foeders will be the home of a rye Brett saison that is currently undergoing primary fermentation with our house saison yeast strain. We can't wait to see how this first beer ages in its new home.
