"We changed the room with our energy!" - A sequel to our collaboration with Wiseacre Brewing Company
2016, 2017, & 2018 Great American Beer Festival Brewpub of The Year
We have “Always” beers and “Sometimes” beers. Our 6 mainstays will always be here for you. Other beers will come and go. And then, eventually, come back. We brew the styles that we love and have brewed over the years. We love dry beers… and we really love dry, hoppy beers. We’re big fans of lagers, especially German-style Pils. We’re having a blast with our series of fruited sours, called “You’ll See Baby”. The beers you’ll find on our “Sometimes” lineup will be traditional, seasonal, “collaborational”, and a little unpredictable. Plan on finding a new favorite each time you come by.

2018 GABF Gold Medal - Munich-style Helles
2016 GABF Bronze Medal - Munich-style Helles
“In terms of sheer brewing artistry, it caps everything that has gone before it, and nothing that has followed it has ever equaled it. The raw materials for Helles could not be simpler, yet the brewing process could not be more demanding. Because Helles is a gentle beer, it must be brewed with a gentle, but sure, touch. Indifferent raw materials, shortcuts or sloppy technique can readily be tasted in the finished beer. When brewed to perfection, a Helles rewards the drinker with the most sublime balance of subtle, rich, elegant maltiness and lingering, noble hoppiness.” - German Beer InstituteStyleHelles

Honey Lager
Celebrating The Start Of It All!
Way, way back at the end of the last century, Amos Lowe was invited over to a brewing session at the home of his co-worker (and home-brewer), Scott Simmons. Little did they both know that a beautiful friendship would be bonded forever and that it would lead all the way to new life and career for Amos... and what The ABGB is today. Cheers to a great beginning! Thank you, Scott, for coming back to guest brew and complete the circle.
Brewed with 180 pounds of Orange Blossom Honey provided by the National Honey Board and classic Cascade Hops, this lager beer is ready for sunny times. Crisp, Clean, & Refreshing!

"We changed the room with our energy!" - A sequel to our collaboration with Wiseacre Brewing Company
We first brewed this beer last year in Memphis with our wonderful friends at Wiseacre Brewing , and then they came down here for a lovely visit this February and we brewed it again (and took our shirts off, again, to celebrate). A homage to our much beloved Grackles, this extra size lager (Pilsner Plus) is brewed with Jasmine Rice and, this time, we switched out Hallertau Blanc for Mandarina Bavaria Hops. It's light in body, with a clean as can be finish. Caw! Caw!

Our good buddies from Denver, CO. traveled down here with their house Brett yeast. We added a great big bunch of beautiful Texas apples. Together, we made this tasty Brett Saison. It's got a crisp hit of apples on the front end that slides into a finish that's delightfully dry.

You’ll See, Baby! Sour Series
Our sour beers were created with a very specific goal: to create a sour with a clean, bright, citrusy taste. A lemony greeting on the palate– without adding lemons. Harnessing the power (and magic) of lactobacillus, our process took all the steps of the traditional scientific method (repeated experimentation!) to finally produce to the results we wanted. A sour beer to call our own. A sour beer that we were really excited about sharing. A sour beer that we’re willing to tell everyone how good it is by saying, “You’ll See, Baby”.

Funhouse Series
Farmhouse beers. We love them. And while we don’t have a farm, we do like to have fun. So, Funhouse. It’s our creative outlet for Belgian-inspired “Wild Beers”. It’s our opportunity to ferment using wild yeast, primarily Brettanomyces, and to age on French Oak. These beers are more complex and layered. And they make us super excited to get out of bed in the morning and come fill up a tank.
