What’s in a name? The brewers mantra, “more
hops” is taken as far as possible in this beer. A deep
amber body balances the bitterness and makes that long day
at work seem a distant memory. Just ask for a pint of “the
dank!!” This beer is also dry hopped with whole flower
and cascade hops.
OG: 1.058 TG: 1.010 ABV: 6.3%
A rich, creamy ale infused with a generous amount
of coffee, the Porter was developed by Mountain Sun brewers
weary of drinking Stout for breakfast. The result is an ale
where coffee aromas mingle perfectly with a roasted barley,
hop finish. A unique treat including as thick a head as you
will ever get on a latte!
OG: 1.058 TG: 1.012 ABV: 6.0%
This beer derives its name from one
of the world’s tallest
peaks which, loosely translated, means “goddess rich
in sustenance.” Chock full of malted barley with mild
hop overtones… this ale itself is rich in sustenance.

Just like
one of the best climbs at Joshua Tree, this I.P.A., chock
full of UK Kent Golding hops, is not only beautiful to look
at, but after quaffing a few pints, you’ll have that
same satisfaction as if you were pulling that final crux move
at the end of the climb. This beer is also dry hopped with
whole flower, UK Kent Golding hops.

Our lightest ale — a shade
of the hair of the dog for which it is named. This lightly
hopped beer will have you ordering another.
OG: 1.050 TG:
1.010 ABV: 5.25%
This classic beer style follows
the same guidelines as if it were being brewed in Cologne,
Germany. A golden ale, mashed in with a lactic rest, provides
a slight tartness and is fermented a little cooler {64*F}
than our other ales, gives this one a nice refreshing crispness. “An excellent lawn-mowing
beer!!!” This Kolsch derived its name from the huge
crane that used to reside right in front of the Mountain
Sun.
OG: 1.050 TG: 1.008 ABV: 5.5%
The first Lager
ever done at the Mountain Sun, this DoppelBock took a “Gold” at
the 1998, 1999, & 2000 GABF, as well as a Silver medal
at the 2000 World Beer Cup. Made with eight different malts,
this full bodied lager, which has aged for over six months,
will make you wish that this beer was available year round.
Keep an eye out because this lager makes its appearance
only twice a year.
OG: 1.082 TG: 1.020 ABV: 8.1%
~ Winter Seasonal Big, bold, and malty. This Scotch
ale focuses on the bold malt characteristic with little emphasis
on the hops. Along with the slight smoky flavor, this full
bodied beer has won fans through out the state of Colorado.
OG:
1.078 TG: 1.018 ABV: 7.9%
Crisp, dry, and
kind of pink. Sixty pounds of flash frozen Oregon raspberries
lend a tartness that pleases the palate and quenches thirst
in a fine fashion.
OG: 1.048 TG: 1.006 ABV: 5.5%
A big bodied pale ale chock full
of extra goodness. Extra malt, extra hops, extra yeast, & extra love. They don’t call
it “The Crippla” for nothing!
OG: 1.072
TG: 1.014 ABV: 7.6%
This rye ale is crisp, creamy and brewed with 165 pounds of rye on a 7 BBL system. Similar to the Kolsch, this
beer is also a good lawn-mowing beer.
OG: 1.056 TG:
1.008 ABV: 6.3%
This is fast becoming
our standard stout at Mountain Sun. With the addition
of 10 kg. of the finest Belgian chocolate and using
lactose, this beer is like a stout milk-shake. We will
also be doing other Stouts occasionally throughout
the year, like the Yonder Mountain Stout, so keep your
eyes (and taste buds) peeled.Hops: bittering: Crystal
hops, aroma: Liberty & Cascade

OG: 1.069 TG: 1.021 ABV: 6.3%
~ Fall
Seasonal …I threw in 13 different grains to
make this American style Brown Ale as complex as the
tax deal that financed Cleveland Brown Stadium. We
hit the mark with this one, now if those Browns could
just do the same...Hops: Cascade, Liberties
OG: 1.050
TG: 1.012 ABV: 4.9%
There’s a story in the numbers listed with each beer.
While many factors are responsible for a beer’s ultimate
flavor, the strength of a beer and its residual sweetness play
a major role in shaping the beer’s profile. In the United
Kingdom many pubs and breweries at least list the Original
Gravity to help customers determine a beer’s strength
and basic profile. OG = Original Gravity (denotes the quantity
of sugars available for fermentation and is a guide to final
strength) TG = Terminal Gravity (a measure of residual sugar
after fermentation—difference between OG and this is
sugar consumed by yeast) ABV = Alcohol by Volume (percent alcohol
calculated from difference between Original and Terminal Gravities)
