Our Beer

Our beers are unusual, eclectic, and undoubtedly uncommon.  

A few things should stand out looking at our range.  

Our beers are aimed towards the less explored regions of craft brewing. We’re looking for subtlety in flavor, interplays of malt, hop, and spice that enhance each other and bring something new to our beers.  

Many of our beers are brewed to be aged. If it says so on the can, please find a nice cool place out of the way in your home, ideally a cellar with stable temperatures, to set the can aside and witness the change. Properly brewed on our end, and properly cared for on yours, many of our beers should be deliciously evolving for years to come.  

We can all of our beers. Uncommon Brewers started canning in 2008, making us one of the original craft cans in the country.

We do not make IPAs. Not one. As far as we’re concerned, there are a thousand great IPAs out on the market that mostly taste the same. If you’re interested in hop-forward beers, try our Double Pale Ale. If you’re looking for uncommon beers, then we’re always here for you.

Dive Beer

5.2% ABV

A simple pilsner, crisp and refreshing.

Double Pale Ale

Romancing the Stout

Siamese Twin Ale

8.5% ABV

The Twin is a Belgian-style dubbel, brewed with whole lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and Indian coriander. It’s amber bodied and sweet on the palate with floral esters in the nose from a Abbey yeast.

Long Form Tripple

10.1% ABV

A Belgian-style Tripple brewed with long pepper (Piper longum). This tripple leads with spicy phenolics, a warm pale malt body, and finishes with a pleasant tingle from the pepper.

The Whiskey Thief

9.2% ABV

The Band of Gypsies returns for a third time with a Smoked Scotch Ale, brewed with peat and beech smoked malts and aged with heather blossoms. A spicy and smokey body melded with soft floral aroma make this beer like a nectar of the western isles.

Framboos Op Eiken

6.9% ABV

A Blonde ale brewed with over 100lbs of fresh raspberries per 30bbl batch. It’s amber-blonde with a lovely and clear raspberry aroma paired with smooth malt body and a light wild lactic finish.

Flamenco Roja

6.6% ABV  

A collaboration with High Water Brewing, this Flanders-style Red Ale was brewed with pomegranate juice and fresh raspberries before being dosed with a lactobacillus culture and given a year to age in a split of Pinot Noir and Syrah barrels. It has a bright berry nose, refreshing tartness, and a dry finish.

Ventana Special Bitter

14.5 % ABV

West coast Imperial dark ale aged with redwood branches in bourbon barrels.

Golden State of the Oak

7.5% ABV

Our Golden State Ale aged in chardonnay barrels. We selected 2006 American oak to condition a batch of Golden State with a local wild yeast strain. This produced a beer of uncommon depth, with rounded caramel and malt notes, clean barrel vanillins, and subtle wild yeast funky tartness.

Baltic Porter

7.8% ABV

The Baltic is styled on an export Porter from pre- Victorian England, brewed with star anise and licorice root. It’s pitch black, with bold flavors of roasted barley and a caress of licorice on the finish.

Bacon Brown Ale

6.8% ABV

The Bacon Brown Ale is a Nut Brown Ale brewed with buckwheat and bacon. An initial hop bitterness cleanses the palate for the smoky, savory bacon finish of this brown ale.

Hopricot Pale Ale

6.2% ABV

A pale ale brewed with local Blenheim apricots.
