  • Ah Ha Pale Ale
  • Black Walnut Coffee Stout which is brewed with award-winning Colombian coffee
  • Paradocs Red IPA is award-winning beer available in cans
  • Naked Threesome IPA, a hazy-style IPA
  • Black Walnut Belgian Imperial Stout, which features Belgian sugar candy to produce a unique blend of bitter and sweet on the palate
  • In summer, Raised Grain Brewing also offers a canned version of their Summer Vice Hefeweizen, a crisp German wheat beer.

Throughout the year, you will also find other beers on rotating tap at the taproom. While all of them are certainly worth a try, make sure to not miss out on the Six Stone Scotch Ale, the Spring City Saison, a farmhouse ale, and the Boxcar’s English Amber, with notes of malt and yeast.
