1. Cin Dyspencer
  • 1188

Brewed for The Gnome’s wife’s 50th birthday this take on a kolsch ale has the flavor of an ale with the crisp finish of a lager. It balances a softly malted palate with the clean freshness of hops. Our take on this traditional German beer will help you celebrate summer and is ideal for a session experience.

2. Big Al's

Smooth , Enjoyable , flavorful

3. Yonder Mountain

4. Happy Jack's Hefe
  • 1188

Our take on this popular German beer. It's a favorite among regulars and visitors alike.

5. Kindergarten Cop
  • 1188

“You know, kindergarten is like the ocean. You Don’t want to turn your back on it.”
The kindergarten AVB will have you thinking “I'm not a policeman, i'm a princess” But the flavor is going to surprise you. Just like those out of hand kids. You definitely don't want to turn your back on this beer. This German black lager is light on malt, roast, and hops, but comes together to be well balanced flavorful beer.
This kindergarten level beer definitely has a PHD.

6. Gold Rush Porter

7. Hello Sunshine
  • 1188
8. D.B. Cooper
  • 1188

A summertime favorite, this Double Berry Hefeweizen, with its rich ruby color, will make you feel like you got away with a hidden treasure. This is a light, crisp, fruity beer, without being too sweet or losing the Hefeweizen spiciness. Don’t forget your parachute!

9. Baked Apple
  • d's Wicked

Our go-to cider from Kennewick, WA. Off-dry with a hint of spice, Baked Apple hosts the flavors of Red Delicious and Honey Crisp apples, finishing with a perfect touch of cinnamon.

10. Chardonnay
  • Coopers Hall

Beautiful wine begins with beautiful fruit. Our winemaker is proud of the fruit he grows, especially his Chardonnay - all 108 Davis clone. When Phil bought the vineyard site in 2007, he faced the decision whether to pull what were then already 27-year-old vines in order to plant a more popular Chardonnay clone. We are glad he kept them. Medium bodied, with a lingering acidity.

11. Lemon Ginger
  • Ablis

Ablis's Lemon Ginger is not your run of the mill ginger beer. Zingy lemon juice pairs perfectly with spicy ginger in this refreshingly chill drink. Our favorite way to enjoy? Right after a killer workout.

12. Coors Light
  • Coors

It's Coors Light

Coming Soon

Black Oak Instigator
  • 1188

Black Oak Instigator isn’t just bold—it’s been hanging out with oak long enough to pick up some smooth, woody charm. This stout is dark, roasty, and a little mischievous, with layers of chocolate, coffee, and a whisper of vanilla from its time spent aging on oak. It’s the beer that says, “One more won’t hurt”—right before convincing you to start a campfire jam session or challenge your buddy to something questionable. Strong enough to stir the pot, smooth enough to get away with it.

Logan Valley
  • 1188

Another favorite place for the owners to grab some down time is Logan Valley. This brew is beer in its simplest form. It’s a bright golden beer with effervescent aromatics of fresh malted barley and lager yeast. It has subtle and soft malt flavors that finish crisp and clean making it perfectly balanced for smooth and easy drinkability.

Johnny Gnoxious
  • 1188
Centennial
  • 1188
Mazelnut
  • 1188

An 1188 regular's favorite, this brown ale is malty and flavorful with caramel and chocolate notes. If you enjoy a dark beer Mazelnut takes it a taste step further with the addition of maple and hazelnut. Get it before it's gone!!
