Old Shep Stout at McCann’s

McCann’sI don’t know the story of Old Shep, but I’m sure it’s good… if not, surely the beer will be good…

St. Patty’s is the time for stout and we are pleased to introduce our Old Shep Stout:
Named for a old canine friend, our Old Shep Stout is as faithful as man’s best pal. Brewed with five different malts, including an ample portion of roasted barley for that inky blackness stouts are known for. Layers of espresso like/dark chocolate undertones combine with a well balanced body.

A true session stout that can be enjoyed all night long.

Local road cyclists know the legend of Old Shep-It will be a mystery to everyone else.

Coffee Porter at McCann’s

Hurry in for this one… Chris made four kegs. Growlers will be available too…

Coffee Infused Prairie Porter

Freshly roasted Papua New Guinea arabica coffee from local roaster Muggsy’s Beans is cold pressed and infused in our Dark Seasonal Prairie Porter delivering a roasty, chocolate flavor explosion. This is a extremely limited release.
