| New Wave | Citra Dry-hopped Wheat Beer | 4.0% | | link |
Citrusy, light bodied, and incredibly quenching. No hops are used in the kettle for this beer, instead we use a little acid malt for balance and a big dose of Citra hops to get the citrus notes. |
| Special Moves | Winter Saison | 7.5% | | link |
Complex and aromatic, Special Moves is a robust, winter time saison using a touch of rosemary, German Hallertau dry-hopping, and just a little bit of rye for spiciness. |
| Ham Porter | American Porter | 5.3% | | link |
An American porter that is made with a whole ham in the boil. Surprisingly, this beer is incredibly drinkable with delicate smokiness, big roast, and just a hint of brininess in the finish. |

This sour wheat beer is first aged with a mix of yeast and bacteria (Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Saccharomyces, and Brettanomyces) and then has organic Masumoto family farm peaches and nectarines added. This all developes into puckering tartness, complex funkiness, and juicy stonefruit. **togo and on premise** |

Vacation is a simple, yet complex Belgian-Style single. Utilizing American hops Citra and Amarillo, Vacation is crisp and slightly hoppy with great pear, apple, and tropical fruit aromas. |
| Vacation with Brett | Belgian-Style Single Aged with Brettanomyces | 5.4% | | link |
The added aging with three strains of Brettanomyces (B. Lambicus and 2 unknown strains from Bootleg Biology) lends this beer complex tropical fruit, stonefruit funkiness, and a drier finish. **on premise only** |

| Bonkers IPA | West Coast IPA w/ Simcoe Hops | 7.0% | | link |

| Refresh | Crisp and Clean House Beer | 4.5% | | link |
This pale beer is crisp, light bodied, and incredibly drinkable. We use an ale yeast at low temps and Noble hops that give this beer Pilsner like qualities, lightness of palate, and fresh floral aromas. |
| Beer Spaceship | Hoppy American Pale Ale | 4,5% | | link |
Welcome to outerbeerspace!! Utilizing primarily Galaxy hops, this beer is fresh, hoppy, and incredibly drinkable. The berry and mellon hop flavors are backed by a clean malt body from 2-row malt, oats, and carapils. |
| McDonnell's | Irish Red Ale | 5.4% | | link |
Our Irish Red from brewer Tim McDonnell is a sessionable beer that pours with a creamy cascade of nitro carbonation, has a nice balanced malt presence from Maris Otter malt, and just a hint of Fuggles hops to make it interesting. |
| Fun Juice | Barrel-Aged Sour with Passionfruit and Citrus | 4% | | |
Fun Juice is a single barrel sour ale aged in a red wine barrel with lactobacillus, pediococcus, and brettanomyces. We then added passionfruit juice and fresh bitter orange, navel orange, and grapefruit zest to the barrel. The beer ended up refreshingly zippy, aromatic, and citrusy. |

About The Brewery
We’ve chosen to open a brewery because we think it is a pretty awesome world of discovery, adventure, and, quite simply, fun. We have a pretty charismatic approach to making beer in the neighborhood we live. We make the beer in a 7 bbl brewhouse under the same roof as The Hermosillo. We like to experiment with unique processes, wacky microbes, and local ingredients among other things. The brewery is comprised of four partners: Bob Kunz, Ross Stephenson, Michael Blackman and Dustin Lancaster, with Bob primarily guiding the beer along its path. Overall, Highland Park Brewery has a fairly simple goal of making excellent beer and having a good time along the journey.
