Otter Creek

Otter Creek has been hitting, hopping and dosing brews with creativity since acid-wash jeans were hip. Under the direction of brewmaster Mike Gerhart, we are undergoing a renaissance of rad, a rebirth of cool–throwing a bit of kind into the kettle whenever possible. Our hop-soaked ales are available throughout the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions.

This brew clocks in at 7% ABV with 68 IBUs, so load up your buds and partake in this juicy exploration of American hops.

Otter Creek Couch Surfer

Steampipe

We burned the rulebooks, and when the smoke cleared we created this counter-culture interpretation of a California-style common lager dosed with juicy hop flavors.

Mosaic and Galaxy hops shine through a golden, orange-hued lager that’s as clean and free as the open road.

Otter Creek Fresh Slice

A summer sipper built for lawn chairs, lawn games and lawn mowing, Fresh Slice features the spicy, estery flavor profile of Belgian yeast laced with the juicy hop flavors and aromas of American hops.

This White IPA recipe tips the scales with a slice of clementine, a hit of coriander and an 1/8th of…wait, what? This one features a crisp, fresh citrus ripeness deriving from additions of clementine juice and sweet orange peel in the brew process. The first Otter Creek can offering, this is one slice you’ll be holding all summer long!

Otter Creek Mixed Bag Variety Pack

Otter Creek 25th Anniversary

We flipped the couch cushions, unzipped the fanny packs and emptied our pockets in search of all the dank, juicy hops we could pull from our stash. When the smoke cleared we threw some Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, Galaxy, Columbus and Sorachi Ace into the kettle and developed a Double India Pale Lager for our 25th Anniversary.

This big, bold boom box in a bottle brings the beat and delivers a hip-shaking hoppiness that dances around the palate.

Kickin’ limited bottles and draught your way beginning in August.

ABV: 8.5%
