Tommyknocker Brewing Company from Idaho Springs, CO
What is a Tommyknocker? Tommyknockers are small elf-like creatures who lived in the cracks and crevices of mines. These creatures were rarely seen, but often heard singing and working. There were two types of Tommyknockers. The friendly ones who knocked-knocked on the walls to show where the riches ore veins could be found and the mischievous ones who blew out candles and lamps. There are many tales of these creatures saving the lives of miners. Today the ledge continues with quality handcrafted lagers and ales, honoring the tales and superstition of Tommyknockers in Clear Creek County.
Jack Whacker Wheat Ale
An American-style wheat ale brewed with 30% malted wheat and 2 row barley. Low hopping rates allow the refreshing aroma and citrus flavor of a late addition of lemon grass to dominate. This unfiltered beer retains all of its protein, flavor, and some of its yeast, resulting in a traditionally cloudy appearance. 2000 North American Brewers Asc. Gold Medal
Maple Nut Brown Ale
Commercial Description:A delicate amount of Maple syrup is added to each barrel of our award winning Maple Nut Brown Ale to impart roasted sweetness. This addition balances the nut flavor produced by Munich caramel and chocolate malts used in the brewhouse, producing a drinkable dark amber ale with a relatively low alcohol content. 2000 World Beer Cup Gold Medal & 1996 Great American Beer Festival Bronze Medal Winner
Pick Axe Pale Ale
Commercial Description:A classic English Pale Ale dominated by pleasant hop bitterness and aroma. Dry hops impart unique aromas and flavors that add to the complexity of this ale. Our Pick Axe uses a blend of hopping: British Columbia Bramling, Czech Saaz, and British East Kent Goldings which melds into an award winning flavor. 1997 & 2000 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner
