Our Beers

All of our beers will be brewed from 100% malted barley. We will never use any of the cheaper grains such as corn or rice that are used by most of the larger breweries in the United States. Our first beer is a German alt beer ale and is sold under the brand name Phoenix Golden Ale. “Alt” is the German word for “old” and is used to describe this style of beer due to the required prolonged aging needed to obtain the complex flavor profile. This beer is named in honor of the last independent brewery that operated in the Tri Cities. The Phoenix Brewery was located in Bay City and closed in 1951.

Our second style, Phelan Irish Red, was awarded a Bronze Medal at the World Expo of Beer in the Spring of 2007!  Phelan Irish Red is an authentic Irish Ale with its own unique flavor.  It is medium bodied with a deep ruby color, moderate malt aroma, and a creamy, tan head.

Designed specifically for the Great Lakes Loons baseball team, our Loon's Summer Ale is now available at the ballbark and selective bars & restaurants.   This smooth, clean, light blonde ale, is an all-malt beer that is perfectly balanced to provide a clean, clear presentation without the heavy cloudiness that is often found in summer wheat-beers.  The hops that were selected accentuate the light malt flavor and provide a touch of bitterness. The unique yeast and hop combination give this beer a hint of citrus aroma with a delicate Belgium flavor that provides a refreshing, thirst quenching finish - perfect on a hot summer day at a Loon's baseball game!!

Our Phoxy English nut brown ale is medium bodied with a rich mahogany-brown color. We use five different types of premium-malted barley and two hop varieties for the malty flavor with a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. This dark ale has a clean and refreshing flavor for a satisfying English taste experience.

Dry Dock Stout is jet black with a creamy, long lasting head with a dominant coffee aroma and complexity of flavors. The initial rich coffee taste quickly shifts to a moderate hop bitterness leading to a drying finish without astringency; a result of the harmony of the malted grains, roasted barley and hops. Dry Dock Stout is remarkably smooth leaving you wanting more.

Our master brewers received brewing education from The Doemens Academy of Brewing in Munich, Germany and brew all our beers according to the 500 year tradition of the German Beer Purity Law, or Reinheitsgebot. The Reinheitsgebot is the only law of its type in the world, and strict adherence to this law in Germany is why many believe that Germany makes some of the best beers available in the world today.
