Welcome to the original in our Fruit Tramp Kettle Sour Series. Brave, adventurous and refreshing. For this colorful beer, we use lactobacillus in the kettle and allow the beer to sit for two days, creating a pleasant tart flavor from the lactic acid that results from this stage. During fermentation, we then add raspberry and boysenberry puree. The result of all this mad science is a brilliant pink color with tart fruitiness and a dry finish. Let’s see where she goes next!
This easy-drinking light lager has a nice mild character. Two-Row pale malt and the use of flaked oats and white wheat give the beer a clean, crisp character with a little sweetness, light body and smooth mouthfeel. Very low bitterness. Smooth and satisfying!
Few brewers will take a wheat beer to the level of a wheat wine, but we did. Strawberry puree added toward the end of fermentation provides natural strawberry flavor and aroma, without adding additional sweetness. The 8.4% alcohol by volume is well hidden making for an incredibly drinkable fruit wheat wine.
This new brew was equally inspired by the haze craze and our Founder’s signature “Peace, Love” signoff that he coined as a kid in the seventies. Flavors of pineapple, guava and orange make this hazy an easy-drinking tropical delight. Experience life. Experience Peace, Love and Haze.
This year we chose whiskey barrels and a few sweet potato liquor barrels to age several ales for our 11th Anniversary Blend. Great Impression, 10 Lizzy Scotch ale and Twisted Monk took a nap in the barrels and were recently blended to create a depth of malty goodness, a hint of cherries, and a mix of vanilla and coconut barrel notes.
This IPA is focused on tropical fruit aromas and a smooth bitterness. Specialty malts add a layer of sweetness and Vermont ale yeast helps accentuate the hops with passion fruit notes.
What’s better than a Hazy IPA? A series of Double Hazy IPAs! Brewmaster Oliver showcases his mastery of balancing flavor and aroma with a significant yet subtle alcohol presence. Today’s Hazy, our second quarterly release, delivers a mango and candied-orange aroma from the Cashmere and Citra hops.
The spirit of Dust Bowl Brewing Co. was born decades ago thanks to one family’s unwavering passion for adventure and immeasurable dedication to one another. The tale begins back in the 1930s when the Tate family loaded their Model A and left Oklahoma for a journey that would prove fruitful for generations to come.
