Beers

Pils-style Session Ale

4% ABV | 10 IBU

A one-of-a-kind session beer reminiscent of a crisp pilsner married with a traditional gose. Brightness and complexity come from additions of citrus zest, Portuguese sea salt and lemongrass.

India Pale Ale 

6.2% ABV | 55 IBU

Our long-awaited India Pale Ale bursts with lush tropical fruit flavors and hints of apricot, melon and bright, sweet orange. Wise Blood IPA starts with a vibrant hop aroma and finishes dry and clean with lingering notes of pine and citrus.

Suggested food pairings: Wings, fish & chips, Tomme-style cheese, brunch (the citrus picks up nicely), burgers.

Belgian-style Saison 

6% ABV | 15.5 IBU

Our Belgian Saison is brewed with generous amounts of pink peppercorns to accentuate the herbal, earthy, spicy notes of this amazing yeast. Korean pears marinated in Chardonnay and are added to the fermentation. The result is a host of savory flavors melding together into a wonderful new spin on a well-known style. Finishes dry with woody earthy hints and elegantly well rounded fruit and spice notes.

Belgian-style Golden Ale

8.5% ABV | 48 IBU

We brew our Strong Golden Ale all-grain, giving it a deep and complex taste.

Belgian aromatic malts add hints of dried fruit, while generous Noble and West Coast hops deliver an earthy spiciness. It finishes semi-dry with lingering tropical fruits and spicy notes from Belgian yeast.

Suggested food pairings: Roasted chicken, grilled pork chops, salmon, Portobello mushrooms, Gouda or Gruyere cheese.

Coffee Brown Ale

7.2% ABV | 40 IBU

What could possibly be better than the combination of deep roasted malts, coffee, oak, and a smooth, creamy finish?

Ode To Mercy overflows with bold flavors woven into a very balanced and approachable beer that finishes with creamy lingering hints of oak, coffee (specially blended by Atlanta, GA’s Land of 1000 Hills), and roasted goodness. Bright citrus hops  peek through from time to time, adding additional layers of complexity.

Suggested food pairings: Barbecued chicken, Kielbasa, prime rib, cheesecake, English Cheddar Cheese, pate, and Munster cheese.

Coffee Brown Ale

7.2% ABV | 40 IBU

Our one-of-a-kind brown ale is finished with nitrogen for a beautifully layered flavor and an incredibly smooth mouthfeel. Nodding to Belgium and England, it’s balanced with oak and coffee notes and a creamy, roasty finish.

Belgian-style Quadrupel Ale 

10.5% ABV | 20 IBU

How about a big, malty beer that evokes a good red wine and with a drier finish than you’d expect at 10.5% ABV?

Eschaton is a one-of-a-kind oaked all-malt Quadrupel (or “Belgian Strong Dark” if you prefer) that abounds with dark fruit and pit fruit flavors as well as earthy spiciness. Vanilla oak and warm viniferous notes assert themselves as the beer warms to reveal additional layers of delicious complexity.

Suggested food pairings:  Lamb, rabbit, duck, Stilton cheese, Belgian chocolate, tart fruit desserts.

Barrel-aged Sour No. 1

5.5% ABV | 10 IBU

Emmylou is a blend of eighteen, sixteen and twelve-month old Bordeaux barrel-aged golden ale fermented with brettanomyces and lactobacillus and refermented with cantaloupe, golden gooseberry, D’Anjou pears, Asian persimmon and kumquat.

Barrel-aged Sour No. 2

5.5% ABV | 10 IBU

The make Joni, the second in our series of barrel-aged fruited sours, Brewmaster Eric Johnson started with his house golden ale base. It was primary fermented clean in stainless steel before transferred to Bordeaux wine barrels and inoculation with souring bacteria and aged for over a year. 40 pounds of cherries were added to each barrel and aged further. Each barrel produces unique flavor characteristics and only a few were hand-selected to create the tart, light, beautiful final beer, Joni.

Fall Seasonal

5.5% ABV | No IBU

In cans for the first time in its 3-year history, Autumn Defense is our fall seasonal– a crisp, malty beer reminiscent of German’s beloved Oktoberfest beers. Made with Munich and Vienna malts and both American and German hops, it’s the perfect beer for celebrating the return of cooler weather.

Winter Seasonal

8.2% ABV | 40 IBU

Each year a special batch of our Ode To Mercy Coffee Brown Ale gets special treatment. We age it on bourbon barrel chips to take an already rich and delicious beer and make it truly decadent, without being overwhelming. Perfect as the holidays roll around, Ode To Mercy Special Winter Ale is our longest running seasonal, having launched in 2010. Available in 750ml bottles and draft (no nitro on this one, sorry!). 

English-style Barley Wine Ale

12% ABV | 50 IBU

Civilization is an English-style barley wine made resplendent with the addition of dried Prussian lemons, tart cherries, cranberries and cocoa nibs. Dark fruit flavor abounds with roasted goodness in each sip with hints of melon and tropical aromas. A long, lingering finish evokes fresh bread and mellow pit fruit.

Suggested food pairings:  Game, dessert, chocolate, candied fruits.

Wild Ale

10.5% ABV | 24 IBU

Dionysus Cuvee is a barrel-aged wild ale based on our Eschaton quadrupel, blended with five additional unique barrel-aged wild ales. Oak and wine notes combine with a mild tartness and the underlying sweetness from the quad base to create a delicate yet big-flavored beer.

Smoked Wild Ale

7% ABV | 7 IBU

A truly new beer style is a rare thing. Funkenrauch is born of brewmaster Eric Johnsons’s obsession with understanding beer on a molecular level. A 100% smoked malt beer shouldn’t be so bright and light – but the addition of Drie Fonteinen brettanomyces eats up much of the smoky phenols that could have overwhelmed the palate, leaving behind a sour smoked ale that is unlike any we’ve ever tried.
