Modern L IPA 5%
What's a L IPA you ask? We like to call these 5% IPAs we brew LiePAs, cause a 5% IPA is a lie. IPA really needs to be at least 6%. However we brew these LiePAs to drink much bigger than their ABV. Meticulous attention to all aspects of the brewing process and a hop load closer to that of a 7% beer delivers explosive aroma and flavor as well as a bigger mouthfeel than any other 5% IPA you've ever had. A blend of our favorite hops from the Pacific Northwest and Southern Hemisphere brings out modern fruit forward flavors and aromas with a touch of that classic resin. . This beer exemplifies our dedication to hops and pushing the boundaries of what you thought a 5% hoppy beer could smell and taste like
Hops: Riwaka, Mosaic T90, Mosaic Lupocore, Nelson
KRUSHING ON THORA
West Coast IPA 6.3%
Krushing on Thora is the 2nd release in our “Krushing On” series of 6.3% modern West Coast IPAs. The premise behind these beers is to combine the sexiest hop to come out of the PNW in a long time, Krush, with another hop in a 50:50 ratio to see how the two play together. For this version we chose a brand new hop that was just named this past fall called Thora. Thora is a new public variety that a lot of large, well known, hop forward breweries are really excited about. The hop is still in it’s infancy so there’s not much acreage yet. We were fortunate to talk our way into one box and we thought this beer would be a good way to showcase it. We find it somewhat similar to Krush honestly in that there are some really terpy tropical notes with some berry however there’s a bit more resin and dankness to Thora as opposed to Krush. The base beer is nice and dry with a solid structured bitterness that makes it incredibly drinkable.
Hops: Krush, Thora
OROS
West Coast l IPA 5%
Oros is finally back. We last brewed this in August and it won gold at the Great American Beer Fest for session IPA. Of course we don’t call it a session IPA here cause it’s really not but I digress. Oros was our fist attempt at a clear, west coast leaning, L IPA. We use a more traditional American Ale yeast as opposed to our house ale yeast that we use for most hoppy beers. While we love our yeast it’s really hard to make clear hoppy beer with it, especially highly hopped beer. . The NZ cascade brings this terpy lime notes with undertones of pine with the Centennial adding a lovely floral lemon aspect and the Mosaic cryo brings blueberry, mango and resin. Wrap it all up and you’ev got an incredibly bright, crisp IPA, that’s packed with hop flavor and aroma. Hard to believe it’s only 5%.
Hops: Ekuanot, Centennial, NZ Cascade, Mosaic Cryo
GOODING FARMS
West Coast L IPA 5%
Gooding Farms is also back. Last brewed in August and also a gold medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival in the Vera Beer category. Like Oros it’s an all new West Coast L IPA that showcases nothing but the finest hops from Gooding Farms. This woman owned and operated, sixth generation hop farm in Parma, ID grows some bangin hops. We paired their 2025 Harvest Citra with that new hop Vera we’re super excited about and some Idaho Gem. Idaho Gem is a hop that was developed at Gooding Farms. It was first released in 2019 and is known for having a sweet red fruit note. They’ve been pushing the pick window back farther and farther on this hop and we were really impressed with it when we rubbed some last fall. We’re getting notes of resin, pineapple, and that red fruit that both the Idaho Gem and Vera bring. A few tweaks to the water for this one really helps to fill out the body and make you think you’re drinking something in the 6% ABV range.
Hops: Vera, Idaho Gem, Citra, Amarillo Cryo

NOTHING BUT LASERS
NZ Double IPA 8%
Nothing But Lasers returns. Our once a year NZ Double IPA that mashes up Laser Kiwi and All Black Nothing. Pretty sure this is our highest rated beer and this batch doesn’t disappoint. This one uses a myriad of hops from farms all over NZ and includes an addition of Waimea Fresh Pressed Hop Juice which is essentially extracted, freshly harvested, wet Waimea. Super saturated yet still light on the palate and incredibly drinkable for it’s ABV.
Hops: NZ Cascade, Motueka, Riwaka, Nelson, Waimea
RAMOSA
SINGLE HOP PALE ALE 5%
Ramosa is a brand new hop from the wizards at Segal Hop Ranch. We actually used Ramosa last summer in Nothing But Numbers when it was still D5-055. We really didn’t get a good feeling for it as there were so many different hops in that beer. However we kept hearing really good things so we contracted a small amount from the 2025 harvest. There’s only 5 or so acres of this hop grown at the moment but we think there’s gonna have to be a lot more soon. It’s pegged as being very Pineapple and Grapefruit forward. So far I’m not sure in combination with our yeast that those are quite what we would describe. A few days before canning the beer smelled like Tang. Or those gummy orange candies. It was bonkers. Since then it’s almost morphed into this combo of tropical candy, all sorts of Citrus from Lime to Grapefruit and orange, and then maybe even some grape notes. It’s kind of mind boggling and really hard to describe to be honest. This hop is the closest we’ve experienced to that exotic, hard to pin down, character you get from certain NZ hops.. in a US grown hop. As always our Single Hop Pale Ales are a little drier and not hopped to quite the level that our 5% IPAs are. Look for great true-to-type hop character in a really bright, drinkable beer.
Hops: Ramosa
SUBSTANCE TO SHADOWS
BLACK IPA 7%
Substance To Shadows is our first Black IPA. A style that was really popular 10 or so years ago that’s enjoying a little bit of a resurgence as of late. Historically Black IPA has often been Imperial in execution with ABV often well over 8%. We chose a little more modest 7% ABV for this one. Dark in appearance but with a body and hop profile of something much lighter in color. We went with a pretty classic hop bill foundation of Chinook, Columbus, and Simcoe with the addition of some Citra and Amarillo Cryo in the dry hop. Aromas of chocolate are quickly followed by pine, grapefruit, and stone fruit from the hops. A unique style that we love and a great showcase for some classic American hops.
Hops: Simcoe, CTZ, Chinook, Citra, Amarillo Cryo
Glossy
Modern Citra IPA 6.5%
Glossy is our “house” 6.5% IPA built around the most popular hop on the planet, Citra,. We’re constantly tweaking this beer to try to find the combo that really brings out the best parts of Citra. This particular batch of Glossy explores the dank side of Citra. Whirlpool additions of Ekuanot cryo paired with Garston Rakau and a more herbal-forward lot of Citra in the dry hop combine to deliver a unique batch of Glossy that’s much more dank/resinous than what we usually offer.
Hops: Citra T90, Ekuanot Cryo, Garston Rakau
Bier
PALE LAGER
South German Style Pils 4.7%
Our Pale Lager has always been brewed to resemble the pils found at breweries in and around Munich. These tends to be a little drier than the pils brewed in the Czech Republic but not nearly as dry and bitter as the pils brewed further north in Germany which is what a lot of what’s called “German Pils” brewed in the US tends to resemble. Personally we feel like the South German executions really strike a great balance of malt flavor and hop character. They’re dry and drinkable without being too bitter or empty. The funny things is people in Southern Germany drink so much Helles that the breweries rarely serve their Pils on tap. It’s usually only available in bottles. Brewed with a three step mash and a single decoction, fermented slow and cold, and then Krausened with Helles in a horizontal lagering tank for as much natural carbonation as possible. While there’s room for improvement we feel like this is the best version of this beer we’ve brewed to date and we’re excited to share it with you.
Hops: Tettnang
RAUCH HELLES
Bamberg Style Smoked Light Lager 4.6%
Excited to offer not one but TWO smoked beers at Offset this spring. This smoked German light lager is made in the true Bamberg tradition. Unlike the smoked Marzen which uses 70% smoked malt in the grain bill this Helles actually uses no smoked malt. However we take the yeast used to ferment the Marzen and use it to ferment this Helles as would be traditional. The yeast itself retains some of the smoke character from the marzen and imparts just a hint of smoke to the Helles. It comes through ever so slightly in flavor and aroma and honestly you might not even notice it if we didn’t tell you. It brings a little more nuance and complexity to a very simple beer.
Hops: Spalter Select
Rauch Marzen
Bamberg Style Smoked Amber Lager 4.8%
After a two year hiatus our smoke beers are back! At one point in time all beer was smoked beer. Until the first, smoke free, malt drying machine was patented in 1635 all malt was dried over an open flame. Two breweries in Bamberg Germany have kept the old tradition alive and continue to smoke their malt over an open flame today. This Rauch Marzen is a tribute to those beers. A malt bill consisting of over 70% beechwood smoked pilsner malt gives this dark amber lager a distinct smokey flavor and aroma. Incredibly complex yet eminently drinkable .
EL PROVO
Mexican Lager 5.0%
Introducing El Provo. A Mexican Lager we brewed for Slackwater River Woods to celebrate their first anniversary. Instead of taking the easy route and using some flaked corn or even corn syrup like the big boys we decided to do a cereal mash with some corn grits for this beer. Our brewhouse has the ability to do it so we figured why not. Cereal mashing entails mixing unmalted grain, in this case corn, and boiling it with a small amount of malt and then combining that with the rest of the mash. This method converts the starch in the unmalted grain into fermentable sugars. However it also adds a depth of flavor and complexity. This is a very simple beer but we wanted to give it a little more flavor than your standard industrialized version. A small late addition of some Crystal hops from OR give it the faintest hint of lime as well. Stoked on how this turned out. Look for a cereal mashed rice lager here in a few weeks. You can find this at all Slackwater locations. We have one keg of it here and a limited number of cans. Get it while you can.
ALTBIER
German Brownish/Amberish Ale 4.8%
Altbier is a style we love and will hopefully continue to brew every year from here on out. The style originates from Düsseldorf in western Germany. There are 6 or so breweries brewing Altbier in Dusseldorf and they’re all quite different. Ranging from sweet and malty to dry and bitter. Most American interpretations tend to fall into the maltier/sweet category whereas our Altbier leans a little on the drier, more bitter side of things. Think, bitterness level and dryness of a pils but with more malt flavor. The malt bill has always been somewhat similar but we now have the ability to decoct.....so we did. An extended single decoction mash, hopped with Tettnang and Mittelfrüh in the boil, fermented with our favorite German Ale yeast and then cold conditioned for 10 weeks! Yup 10 whole weeks. I think this is the best version of this beer we’ve made to date. The extended lagering has really refined the flavors and created an even more nuanced drinking experience. We’re loving it and I hope you do too.
KÖLSCH
German Blonde Ale 4.7%
Kölsch has been brewed in the German city of Cologne for over 100 years and holds a Protected Geographical Indication within the European Union. It’s a very defined style yet when you go to Cologne Kölsch tends to vary widely between producers. The key element to producing true-to-style Kölsch is the yeast. True Kölsch yeast is known for producing these really delicate white wine or pear like esters that really add a unique twist to a crisp, easy drinking pale bier. We source a unique yeast from a small yeast bank on the east coast that creates these lovely esters and is a little different than the yeasts normally used by most American brewers producing Kölsch. This is our lightest, easiest drinking bier and truly a fan favorite here at Offset.
TMAVE PIVO
Czech Style Dark Lager 4.4%
A style we absolutely love and one we are very proud to share with you. The second most popular (and oldest) style brewed in the Czech Republic, Tmavé Pivo, has a prominent malt and hop character and is a much smoother, rounder overall drinking experience than the more popular German Style dark lager, Schwarzbier. Notes of dark chocolate and hearty bread dance with spicy hop character from the copious additions of German grown Saaz. Packed with flavor yet so light on the palate and easy to drink due to it’s extended lagering.
Hops: Saaz
Bin Chicken
Aussie Mid Ale 3.8%
Hey look another “WTF is that?” beer! An Aussie Mid Ale is not necessarily a style of beer but more a category. It describes a really easy drinking beer that generally falls somewhere between 3.5 and 4% ABV. They’re incredibly popular in Australia, or so we’re told. We brewed Bin Chicken with our good fried Ian Pope from Five 5eeds. Using his wealth of knowledge of this category we chose to brew what is essentially an English Ordinary Bitter. (literally the worst name for a style ever) 98% Golden Promise malt and some Invert sugar in the boil to create a light auburn, kinda dark gold color and a little bit of malt complexity. We then hopped it with 100% Anchovy hops in the kettle and whirlpool for a nice light citrus and raspberry seed note. It’s a real crusher with just a bit more malt character which goes great with the weather we’re having this time of year. Doesn’t contain any actual chicken.
Hops: Anchovy
SOUR
EXTROVersa
Fruited Quick Sour 5%
Extroversa means Extrovert in Italian and that’s exactly what this beer is meant to be. Loud, in your face, expressive, and packed to the gills with flavor and aroma. This is not a “smoothie sour” as all the fruit is fermented out but the amount of fruit we’ve added to this batch definitely blurs the lines between beer and juice. Over 800lbs of fruit went into 434 gallons of this beer. That’s a lot! It’s a tropical explosion that definitely blurs the line between juice and beer.
Fruit: Mango, Pineapple

The Alamos 2023 Malbec is a full-bodied red wine grown in Argentina’s most renowned winegrowing region. Aromas of blackcurrant rise from the glass with subtle notes of white pepper. Deep layers of wild blackberry meld with dark cherry give the wine a rich, silky mouthfeel. On the finish, silky mouthfeel reveals aromas of sweet tea leaves and notes of shaved chocolate on the long finish.
