Urban Forest Craft Brewing

Our "Old School" IPA. Winding the clock all the way back to the before times. Before Hazy IPAs. Before D.D.H. When Brüt IPA wasn't even an idea and Black IPA was cutting edge. Wind It Back is a Retro IPA time machine in a glass Winding It Back to a simpler time of clear and crisp IPA with an actual malt backbone and balanced bitterness. Have déjà vu all over again! *Crafted to Remove Gluten*

This is our naturtrüb (naturally cloudy) unfiltered young lager packaged directly from the fermenter. The name refers to the Zwickel, or sample valve, that we use to pull beer samples from our tanks to monitor its progress. We liked the samples so much on this lager that we decided to put it directly on tap! *Crafted to Remove Gluten*

Stadtwald is our traditional German Wheatbier brewed with Malt and Hops imported from Deutschland and yeast cultured from an Old-World Bavarian brewery. The nose is exactly what you'd expect in a Hefeweizen: Clove and Banana with hints of bubble gum and pear. Effervescent and refreshing with a dry finish.

Brewed with only the finest German malts and Czech hops, fermented slow and cold. Aromas and flavors dark chocolate & roasted barley with hints of Black Cherry. Light bodied with a distinctly high-mineral water profile, and a crisp, semi-dry finish. *Crafted to remove gluten*

We hope you can find even a fraction of their joy still intertwined among the bubbles dancing in your glass. Made with Organic Grade A Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans and love. *Crafted to remove Gluten.*

Nectaron is our American Pale Ale brewed with a unique blend of New Zealand Nectaron hops and Yakima's experimental hop YQH-1320 (recently rebranded as Elani). Both hops boast notes of Pineapple and Peach, but citrus dominates with a distinctive tangerine aroma and tropical sweetness. The malt backbone is light and clean allowing the hops to shine through. A subtle muted pithy bitterness lingers on the tongue then fades into a crisp finish. Overall a must-try for any hop lover. *Crafted to remove Gluten*

A Kölsch-style beer that is clean and delicate. Subtle fresh grain flavors meld with the crisp bitterness from traditional German hops. Enjoy a pint or two with the Kindred Spirits in your life. *Crafted to remove Gluten*

A medium bodied Chocolate Porter with Big, Big Chocolate flavor. Not quite decadent enough to qualify as dessert, but not too far off either. Just rich enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, yet light enough that you can go back for seconds without being overwhelmed.
Sock Monkey is our 2nd beer in our "Rockford Proud" series, highlighting landmarks and things unique to Rockford. *Crafted to remove Gluten*
