Fruitilicious


Summer beers can be pretty boring in my opinion.  Usually nothing more than some wheat, light spice, and lemon flavors.  That's alright, but here at Goat Rodeo, we like our beers a bit more flavorful.  Therefore, we juiced up the mash tun with a heaping amount of wheat then doused it with some booming hops in the brew kettle.  Wanted to keep the ABV low for mass consumption (aka - sessionable), registering an easy-going 4.3%.  Copious amounts of Amarillo and Citra were used during the brewing and then a blend of Mosiac, Simcoe, and Citra dropped in for dry-hopping.  Bodacious tropical fruit aromas abound and flavors follow.  It's fruitilicious!

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This


Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This is a decadent concoction of honey, fresh pressed farm apple cider, brown sugar, sweet orange peel, and cinnamon that was fermented with a sweet mead/wine yeast.  The style is known as a cyser, which is a mead and cider hybrid.

The nose is that of cider, with mostly apples and sugar aromas.  The flavor is the same upfront, but quickly changes to a wine-like finish (think grapes and lemons).  The alcohol is evident, as the ABV is 12.6%.

Roughly 4 gallons were produced with the plan to bottle in 750 ml.  Stay tuned.

Are you ready for some Rye Wit?

Dimwit, Halfwit, Nitwit is a Belgian Wit (aka- White Ale) brewed with bitter orange peel, coriander, Tettnang and Warrior hops, and true Belgian Wit yeast.  This beer was brewed for the purpose of party libations at the 3rd Annual Man Weekend at Camp Pocahontas.  At 4.8% ABV, it's light and refreshing, and perfect for a hot August day.  Drink up fellas!


Fight For Your Rye To Party is a hopped up Roggenbier (aka- Rye Ale).  Coming in at 96 IBU due to a heavy dose of Polaris, Centennial, and Amarillo hops.  Dark Belgian candi sugar, brown sugar, and seeds of paradise were added to the rye grain, and pale and wheat malts.  Flavor is complex, with upfront spice from the rye and citrus in the nose from the hops, but finishes bitter sweet.  Clocks in at 7.2% ABV.

I have a Hunch that it's a Quad

Goat Rodeo Brewing is proud to announce our first collaboration brew with North Shore Brewers, based out of Massachusetts.   During my recent beercation, I stayed with some awesome people, drank some great beer, ate some scrumptious seafood, and brewed a Belgian Quad. This beer goes by the name of Quadsimodo. It's extra special because it will be halved into a Turkey Shore rum barrel for some further aging.  That version will lovingly be referred to as Drunken Quadsimodo.
