They started in a 700-square-foot facility that was so small they could only offer two styles at a time. But big changes were on the horizon for NorthGate Brewing. Over the summer they secured a new spac e\, new equipment\, and a new taproom\, and they’re doing something spec ial to celebrate. NorthGate is bringing back their first anniversary Fiddl e Smasher in addition to two new big beer styles.\n\nOn January 31st they ’re opening the taproom doors early for the Big Beer Birthday Bash and s elling sets of three great beers. Each bottle will be hand numbered and wa x dipped to seal them for aging. Each bottle set will come with a commemor ative snifter\, bottle opener\, and more. Five hundred of the sets will be available for presale with the remainder available for purchase on Januar y 31.

Hints of dark fruits with flavors evoking dates\, plums\, and raisins. Medium bodied wi th a warming finish. Traditionally fermented at slightly lower temperature s than standard ales which is appropriate for the region of origin. Named after the lament of Jamie Macpherson who shares a clan lineage with our ow n taproom manager who originally told us of the tale. As he stood at the g allows he asked the crowd to play the dirge on his fiddle. When no one wou ld he smashed it so that no one would ever be able to play his beloved ins trument again.\n\nRussian Imperial Stout – 7.2% ABV 60 IBU 40 SRM\n\nNea rly opaque in color. Malty forward with hints of roasted coffee and chocol ate and a subtle caramel sweetness. A traditional English ale that was bre wed almost exclusively for export to Russia and Baltic states. Popular wit h the court of Catherine the 2nd it has been rediscovered by American audi ences recently and enjoyed just as much.\n\nBourbon Barrel Aged Old Ale – 9% ABV 30 IBU 22 SRM\n\nDark amber in color with strong bourbon notes. Malt sweetness mixed with woody notes\, fruity esters and a strong warmin g finish. The barrels were chosen from our Head Brewer’s favorite liquor \, bourbon from the Breckenridge Distillery. Our first set of barrels for the new brewery\, we are ecstatic with the resulting beer.
