Don’t Be Brewing Me (at 4 AM) - 8.8% ABV
"Don’t be calling me at 4 AM"—unless you’re pouring me another pint of this chocolate coffee stout. Like a BMFS setlist, this stout is full of surprises. It starts with the deep, soulful resonance of coffee, builds into a sweet, chocolatey melody, and finishes with a silky encore you won’t forget. Sip slowly, let it wash over you, and whatever you do, don’t pick up that phone at 4 AM just because you wanna know if I brewed this at home.

He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he’d never been before. But, things kept changing fast and it didn't last for long. Jim then cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis, pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans, but he never saw the good side of the city. Therefore he left for a job in the great north woods, working as a cook for a spell. But he never did like it all that much, and one day the axe just fell. Now, he just wants to ride bikes, brew beer and cuddle. He has become comfortably numb.

When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us are together, forget it. I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna volunteer my leadership to Dadbod Beer club. An army without leaders is like feet without big toes. And Dr Jimi and Dr Rev Chappie are not always gonna be here to be big toes for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest brewmasters, and big toes... Dr Jimi and Rev Dr. Chappie.
In truth I know nothing about brewing beer and I've always been kind of a pacifist. I don't know what kind of beer drinker I'm gonna make, but I want you guys to know if we ever get into really heavy drinking….I'll be right behind you guys. Every Step of the way.

So we took turns a-starin', out the window at the darkness, the boredom overtook us, and we began to speak. He said son I've had a life, brewing tasty ales, knowing what grains to mash and what hops to place on the bed.

He said son I've had a life, brewing tasty ales, knowing what grains to mash and what hops to place on the bed. So if you don't mind me saying, I can see your pint is empty, let's drink to a new beginning and pass along some good advice... You've got to know when to tip 'em, know when to sip 'em, know when to walk away, and know when run. You can never count your calories when your sitting at the table there be time enough for counting, when the keg is gone. Every brewmaster knows, the secret to surviving, is knowing what recipe to throw away and knowing what one's to keep. Cause not every beers a winner and not every beers a loser and the best that you can hope for is to enjoy a beer before you sleep.
You got to know when to tip 'em,....

The frequency of dadbod brewing making a batch of beer that did not have some sort of mishap contributed to the naming of this beer.
After brewing this highly refreshing, smooth wheat beer (with hints of citrus and coriander) we had a rest on the porch. We were looking out my back door and thought we saw a Bad Moon Rising. Once we saw creatures dancin' on the lawn we decided to lay off the sauce and listen to Buck Owens.

Once in a Blue Moon- 4.8% ABV
A lo-cal IPA that is a tribute to the good folks at Bell's Brewing. The grain bill (as well as the house blend yeast) was purchased from Kalamazoo. Since we brew on the Banks of the Red Cedar, we were going to use that name for this brew, but for some reason a fight (song) kept breaking out.
