BALLAST POINT MANTA RAY
MANTA RAY DOUBLE IPA We’ve developed many IPA recipes in our R&D program, but right from the tank, our Manta Ray Double IPA was a winner. Aromas of fresh, citrusy tangerine, melon and light pine leap from the beer and linger over a smooth finish. Like its namesake, this brew can sneak up on you - a big ABV without a bite.

FOOTHILLS HOP OF THE MONTH SIMCOE DOUBLE IPA
Simcoe Double IPA THE SERIES
We pick a hop each month and, using its distinct flavor and aroma traits, brew a style of beer uniquely suited to accentuate those traits.
THE BEER
Simcoe is well-known to Foothills fans-it’s the primary flavoring hop in our flagship IPA, Hoppyum. Resinous and piney, Simcoe retains plenty of fruit aroma and flavor to go with its woody, musky foundation. Its complexity is best showcased in beers like this, our first Double IPA in the series.

BALLAST POINT RED VELVET
RED VELVET ON NITRO GOLDEN OATMEAL STOUT WITH BEETS & CHOCOLATE Our Red Velvet oatmeal stout is a mindbending beer. Like the cake that inspired it, the deep red color comes from beets, which add a rich, earthy character that complements the chocolate flavor and aroma.The foamy head of the nitro pour is our “icing,” adding a creamy smoothness to the mouthfeel. But this liquid dessert still finishes like a beer – not sweet, but just as satisfying.

BALLAST POINT CINNAMON RAISON COMMODORE
AMERICAN STOUT WITH CINNAMON AND RAISIN Our Cinnamon Raisin Commodore is truly a story of experimentation. Originally a gold-medal winning American stout first born in our R&D program, our brewers developed a new variation, adding cinnamon and raisins to this dark, bittersweet brew. The result is just the right amount of sweet and spice, with roasty maltiness at the helm.

BOULEVARD COLLAB 6 (FIRESTONE WALKER)
S M O K E S TA C K S E R I E S - L I M I T E D R E L E A S E
COLLABORATION NO. 6
Our collaboration series of beers has allowed us to work (and drink) with some of our favorite people in the beer industry who brew fantastic beers. We’ve been lucky enough to brew with Jean-Marie Rock from Orval, Larry Sidor and Deschutes Brewing Company, Dann and Martha of Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project, our sister brewery, Phil Leinhart and Brewery Ommegang and most recently with Cigar City Brewing’s Wayne Wambles. We’ve held the beers of Firestone Walker’s Brewmaster Matt Brynildson in very high regard for many years. When we learned that Firestone Walker would be joining the Duvel Moortgat family of breweries, we immediately knew who we wanted our Collaboration No. 6 partner to be. Firestone Walker has a tradition of inviting local wine-making friends into their brewery each year to collaborate on a blending project that results in their anniversary ale. Pulling from several barrel-aged beers, they tinker with different blending percentages to create an incredibly complex, yet unique beer. In this spirit, we invited Matt Brynildson into our barrel-aging cave to taste beers with Boulevard Brewmaster Steven Pauwels. Armed with their palates, some graduated cylinders, nearly two dozen tulip glasses and a few bottles of Firestone Walker’s barrel-aged beers, they spent the afternoon tinkering with different blending percentages before finally deciding on just the right blend. In addition to pulling beer from our barrel collection, we’re going to brew, ferment and age Firestone Walker beers at Boulevard in Kansas City using recipes created by Matt and his team in Paso Robles to complete the final blend.

why we brew it
why you should drink it
Since 2011, GABF medal winning Sweet Baby Jesus! Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter has been the yardstick by which all other peanut butter beers are measured. But DuClaw Brewing Company Brewmaster, Jim Wagner, couldn’t stop there…
For Pete’s Sake! Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter raises the bar again with its silky, full body, big roasted malt flavor and aroma dominated by rich notes of peanut butter and chocolate, subtle fruit and coffee notes, and a strong, warming 9% ABV. For Pete’s Sake! - it’s a whole new level of Chocolate Peanut Porter!
