Boasting a complex profile, this IPA carries an aroma of orange blossoms and passion fruit, with a citrus and honey palate. The Ghost Train is loaded with plenty of Cascade, Columbus, Amarillo and El Dorado hops for your IPA drinking pleasure.
6.9% ABV, 88 IBU.
Pacific Northwest hops are right at home in this Northwest-Style Red Ale: Woody, spicy, piney and citrusy. They also enjoy playing against the lush backdrop of a blend of pale, carapils, caramel and chocolate malts.
6.0% ABV, 60 IBU.
Ponderosa’s German-trained Brewmaster brought his recipe along with a proprietary yeast strain from the VLB in Berlin. German Pilsner and Wheat malts, German Magnum and Hallertauer hops make it taste just like it came straight out of Cologne.
4.9% ABV, 25 IBU.
Ponderosa’s take on a classic Mexican lager, this beer starts as a Vienna style lager, but then diverges sharply with the use of Southern Cross hops from New Zealand, which provide a natural lime flavor, that we then boost with a small addition of lime peel, for that classic refreshing cold beer with a fresh squeeze taste built right in, no extra steps required!
5.5% ABV, 18 IBU
Inspired from a traditional North England style brown ale, the Bellamah is bright and mahogany in color, with a luscious body. Caramelized sugar and toffee will fill your nose, and the addition of roasted malts gives the brown a rich dynamic flavor, finishing with a subtle, but balanced dark chocolate bitterness.
5.0% ABV, 30 IBU.
Take a traditional Belgian style witbier, brewed with unmalted wheat for taste and body, spiced with a gentle addition of coriander, and give it a Ponderosa twist – Blood Orange and lemon peel replace the traditional Valencia sweet and bitter orange peel to give this beer a bright and juicy character, further enhanced by the character of our house Kolsch/wheat beer yeast.
7.0% ABV, 12 IBU
A German take on the classic pilsner with an improvement not allowed under the Reinheinstgebot Purity Law, a huge dry hop of Hersbrucker and German relax hops? Take the classic noble flavor and aroma over the top with this favorite style of brewer Antonio Fernandez.
4.9% ABV, 35 IBU
Take Ponderosa’s American Wheat Ale and infuse with lots of organic red raspberry and you get this beer, an easy drinking, slightly tart and fruity glass of happiness.
5.5% ABV, 18 IBU
Everything a Pale Ale should be, solid malt backbone from English style Pale malt with beautiful honey color providing the canvas for the incredibly juicy combination of Idaho 7 and Sabro Hops.
5.5% ABV, 40 IBU
In Germany, a Maibock means Springtime is here. A strong, malty lager that is both more crisp and hop forward than regular bock beers. The pilsner and vienna malts build the foundation for the finest.
7.3% ABV, 32 IBU
