Free State Brews

Ad Astra Ale

This ale is the first brewed in Kansas since pioneering days. The name "Ad Astra comes from the Kansas State Motto - Ad Astra per Aspera, Latin words meaning "To the Stars through Difficulties". We've blended Pale, Caramel, and Munich malts for a rich amber beer. The hops balance this malty sweetness, and we've chosen Northern brewer and Fuggles hops for their flavor.

Copperhead Pale Ale

Silver Medal Winner 1997 World Beer Championships - India Pale Ales. This flavorful beer is made in the style of the India Pale Ale Style originally manufactured in Great Britain for their colonies in India, but with an American twist. The harsh travel that the beer had to survive required a strong, hoppy beer. The Hops and the high level of alcohol helped buffer the beer through its long travels. Made with flavorful and full bodied Pale Ale malt combined with a touch of caravienne for color and carapils for body, the rich flavor of this beer is matched and enhanced by a very generous portion of Centennial and Cascade hops. The Cascades give this beer its distinctive floral aroma and a uniquely American character.

Emancipation Pale Ale

In another Twist on the American Pale Ale style, we.ve created a deep amber ale using Pale Ale and dark crystal malts. This beer is generously hopped with centennial and Chinook hops in the kettle, cascades in the hop jack and finally, a healthy dose of pungent columbus hops for dry-hopping. The result is a very American hop flavor and aroma seated into a rich malt background. The body is medium and hop flavor intense. Something to release you from the bonds of any ordinary pale ale!

Lemon Grass Rye

This refreshing and unique beer is made from a base of pale malt and Munich malt. The unique flavors come from the use of about 25% flaked rye which adds a fresh (some describe it as minty) flavor and smooth texture as well as about 40 lbs of fresh lemon grass for a fresh citrusy background. This beer is gently hopped with Galena and Hersbrucker hops.

Oatmeal Stout

Silver Medal Winner 1997 World Beer Championships - Oatmeal Stouts. Our classic dark beer. Full body and a well rounded flavor comes from a foundation of seven different grains. The oats add a special silky texture that complements the roasted malts. The rich malty flavor is spiced with plenty of Northern Brewer and Fuggles hops for balance. Enjoy this perennial Free State Favorite by itself or as a blend with one of our other beers.

Post Rock Pilsner

Pilsners were certainly some of the original light beers, but only in color, certainly not in flavor! Our Pilsner has a pleasant malt flavor, a medium body and a finely balanced hop character. We use premium Bohemian pilsner malt and imported specialty malts along with prized Czech Saaz hops to craft this fine lager beer for your summer

Wheat State Golden

Being located in the biggest wheat producing state in the nation, a refreshing wheat beer is a must-brew. The Wheat State Golden is usually our lightest beer. It is fashioned after the Klsch beers made around Cologne. It is traditionally brewed in the Alt Style like our Ad Astra Ale and has about 25% wheat malt. There is just a touch of caramel malt to add the golden color, and the rest is pale malt. The Golden is lightly hopped with Yakima Perle for bittering, and Hallertau Hersbrucker hops for aroma.
