Taplist & Menu — SOLID GROUND BREWING (2024)

TAPLIST

RAMPART: American Helles Lager : 4.8%

Rampart is named after the defensive walls that protected the harbor at Fort McHenry from the British. Rampart is an American lager with a German influence. Originating in the late 1800’s, Helles lager is known as the populist beer of Munich. Traditionally, the style is revered for its clean crisp nature with balanced acidity and noble hop character.

ŠIPKA: Czech-style Pilsner: 5.4%

Šipka is a cave located near Štramberk, Moravian-Silesian Region, in the Czech Republic. Brewed with pilsner malt, Šipka is pale in color and has a distinct Czech hop aroma. It finishes dry with bright acidity and effervescence.

Darvaza: DIPA 9.1%

Darvaza is a natural gas crater in Derweze, Turkmenistan, that collapsed into an underground cavern, and is known locally as the “Gates of Hell.” This beer is our interpretation of an aggressive double IPA. Darvaza is very aromatic on the nose with citrus and dank scents and finishes dry and bitter.

RAVENS TOWER: Black Lager: 4.8%

This is brewed in the spirt of a Schwarzbier, a light dry lager with mild noble hop and mild roast expression. This beer has notes of spice, mild roast, and a touch of stone fruit.

WIESN: Hefeweizen : 5.6%

The fields at Oktoberfest are named Theresienwiese ("Theresa's Meadow"), which is still used to this day and nicknamed Wiesn. Traditional German Hefeweizens are also distinct in their use of a unique yeast strain which produces a beer with notable amounts of clove, banana, and occasionally bubblegum esters. We worked hard to produce a hefe that leans heavier towards the stronger clove and milder banana, with reduced amounts of bubblegum. This is possible due to a long cooking regime and closely monitored fermentation temperatures.

KABRU: West Coast IPA: 7.5%

Kabru is a mountain in the Himalayas in India. Kabru is brewed to be a classic West Coast IPA with flavors of citrus, tropical fruit, lemon zest, pine and spice.

Trango: Tropical Hazy IPA 6.4%

Trango is a family of rock towers in Pakistan that offers some of the most challenging rock climbing in the world. Trango is pale-orange in color with a definite haze. Tasting of orange,mango, and vanilla, Trango is juicy yet finishes refreshing, bright, and effervescent.

Cosmick: Hazy IPA 6.9%

Cosmick is named after an Australian grain varietal. It was brewed with Two-Row, Pilsner malt, and a healthy dose of oats. Hopped with cashmere and citra and dry-hopped with Citra and Cashmere. Cosmick has a tropical nose packed with passion fruit, melon, and citrus. It has a fluffy-light to medium body imparting flavors of ripe melon and guava. A slighty sweet finish balanced with a wonderful aromatic bouquet.

Makalu: Hazy IPA 6.5%

Makalu is the fifth highest mountain in the world located in the Mahalangur Himalayas. This hazy IPA features Strata, Waimea, and Hallertau Blanc hops, creating a fruity and complex beer. Notes of orange creamsicle, pineapple, nectarine, and tropical fruits on the nose and palate. It has a rich body and finishes dry.

Fir: Winter Ale 8%

Firs are evergreen trees that are commonly used as Christmas trees. Fir Winter Ale is a complex beer with layers of flavors including fruit, malt, and chocolate with a subtle hop bitterness and a warming finish. On the nose, Fir has notes of cookie dough with hints of cocoa, wisps of vanilla and candied strawberry. On the palate, there are flavors of milk chocolate covered strawberries and toasted bread. Garnet in color, this beer embodies the holiday season!

GNEISS : Nitro Dry Irish Stout: 4.2%

Gneiss is a metamorphic rock; which are the oldest rocks found in The Giant's Causeway. At 4.2% ABV, this beer has a medium-light body and is served on nitro for a creamy consistency. Its bitterness comes from a generous amount of roasted barley.

Devils Leap: Imperial Stout with Petite Syrah 9.2%

Devils Leap is a cliff in Wyoming that has an elevation of 5,200 feet. Our Devils Leap Imperial Stout is equally as dramatic and complex. It starts off as a traditional ‘Export Stout’ in the spirit of those brewed in the British Isles for export to the high courts of Russia in the 18th century, but is quickly brought home with the addition of El Dorado County Petite Sirah. This merriment emboldens the already present dark fruit and candied cherry found in this beer and heightens it with a cleansing acidity and age.
