Out West, Innovation Brewer Duncan walks into a Big Sur sunset. Where was he going? What was waiting for him? We have no way of knowing. The Into the Sun T captures it in full color on a Vintage White, 185 GSM, 100% organic cotton tee. Made in Portugal, garment washed. Find yours in the brewery shop

Orin out of the can and into a tulip glass, just the way the universe intended. Make it happen for you – Orin is pouring in the taproom and we have 2pk 12oz cans in the shop, with limited distribution in Illinois to follow.

Nitro draft only for this one, but maybe we will make something together again one day and put it in cans.

Holey Rock Porter is a languid, soft beer elevated to near-weightless levels by using nitrogen. As it disappears from the glass, you’ll enjoy notes of melted chocolate ice cream, nitro coffee and hearty porter. Visit Ephraim. A dip in Eagle Harbor will fix almost anything.

Be sure to make time for Pearl Wine Cottage while you're at it. Randy sent us some Honduran and Mexican varietals that were steeped in porter brought to life with oats and base malt from local maltster Sugar Creek Malt Co.

I’ve known Randy for a bunch of years, and his work has made our time in the County immeasurably more enjoyable. Roasting wonderful coffee, making top-tier Detroit style pizza and pouring beer and wine at Bad Moravian, he’s made Church Street a must visit.

Orin reappears at 13.2%, aged in bourbon and brandy barrels, bringing dark fruit, toffee, oak and brandy warmth into something deep and memorable. Loaded with FOBAB medals, Orin is a singular barrel-aged stalwart steady in form year after year. On draft in the taproom and in 12oz 2pks in the shop.

Nutty bourbon-soaked graham cracker, sticky plum, sherry, torched Luxardo and distilled brown ale. Pop the can and it lands like a northwoods bake shop: stroopwafel, campfire molasses, leathery sherry and Garibaldi biscuits.

Double Barrel Wilderness of History Double Barrel Barleywine Aged in Bourbon Barrels, 16.8% ABV. 52 months in oak: 33 months in Weller + Elijah Craig, then 19 months in Buffalo Trace. Long enough to get weird, concentrated and very, very good.

Light enough to toss back a Daisy or two and still have room for warm Apple Cobbler buried under vanilla ice cream, carmel apple sauce and graham cracker. The trifecta.

Fall fell on us and the kitchen is sizzling in its crater of coziness. The new Fall Salad tosses roasted carrots, corn and butternut squash with cranberries, candied pepitas and cranberry-apple dressing for a festival of autumnal flavor.

October has it all, and it’s all chilling at Half Acre. We’re kicking things off with a double whammy of the 3rd Annual @blockclubchi.bsky.social Block Party and a Yarn Tasting Knitting Happy Hour, then carving through the rest of the calendar like a jack-o-lantern.

Breweries require a lot of juice to keep moving. Over the last year, we’ve been tightening up what happens behind the walls at Balmoral -- finding ways to recover heat, reduce grid demand and make the brewery more efficient to operate. 1/2

Aluminum pillars holding golden Hazy IPA rise like the stony Storr of its geographical counterpart. In Isle of Sky, we split the batch between our regular hazy yeast and 30% thiolized yeast, then piled in NZ hops and Strata. No centrifuge. Soft, thicc, intact. 16oz 4pks and draft at the brewery.

Giant fluffy clouds rise over mountains of flavor on Isle of Sky. This 7% IPA rolls out thick and hazy with juicy orange, grapefruit and resinous pine. London 3 and thiolized yeast open the fruit up for Riwaka, Superdelic, Dolcita and Strata Cryo. 16oz 4-packs and draft available now at the brewery.

A well-deserved sensory range offers dark fruit jerky, mixed berry compote + cinnamon-dusted bourbon chocolate pour-over. Our biggest 40-plato base stout lends depth + weight, with vanilla bridging to leather-cocoa + blackberry pie. You’ll be in front of a fire somewhere soon. Bring Bramble.
