At The Brewery Now!

Blueberry Ale   is here to tease you just a little.  I made a small batch for all you blueberry ale fans.  It`s not blue and it`s not a juice.  It is a mild easy drinking ale with just a hint of blueberry in the taste and nose.  When this batch is gone, it will not be back until April.  5.0% abv

Scottish Ale  is ready again.  We have been trying to keep this available a little more often.  Our scottish ale has a tawney copper color and peaty/smokey/malty flavor about it.  Some say it is the best beer we make.  Who knows; I personally like all the beers we make.  I do not have a favorite either.  I know that is what you were thinking!    6.5% abv

Maple City Gold  Is now ready.  This German-Style Marzen gets its name from the City of LaPorte, Indiana; affectionately known as the "Maple City" for its tree lined streets.  This amber colored lager is smooth and malty.  We think it is worthy of the gold.  You be the judge.  7.5% abv.

Coffee Oatmeal Stout  is a new one for us.  Yes, it has real coffee from our very own local roasters (Maple City Coffee), and plenty of oatmeal to give it that creamy smooth mouthfeel.  Yea, it is really dark too.  8.2% abv 

LaPorte UnCommon  For those of you not familiar with this beer, let me bring you up to speed.  Back in March of `09, I wanted to introduce a beer with a mild easy flavor and even easier PRICE!  Enter LaPorte UnCommon.  Now, all you big hoppy beer fans take a chill pill, OK.  This beer was not made for you.  So, settle down and relax.  I made this beer for the folks who are not so adventurous but, still want a craft beer with flavor.  It is extremely light in color, body and flavor.  It is soo easy to drink and only tips the scales at 3.7% abv.  It truely does not get any lighter than this at Back Road Brewery.    

Small Beer   This beer is actually made the same day and with the same malt as the No.9 Barleywine.  It is what we call a second running or "small beer".  Lighter in color and flavor, this golden ale is smooth and very easy to drink.  Sorry, we don`t bottle this one.  Draft and Party Pigs only.  5.4% abv.

Back Road Ale is our #1 selling beer.  It is also the first original  recipe from Back Road Brewery.  Our flagship beer is on tap at many fine restaurants in our local area.  If you see it out and about, give it a try.  It is slightly amber in color, malty and almost perfectly balanced with the hops.  It is very easy drinking with a clean malty flavor.  5.0% abv.  

Smart party tip:   Party Pigs are a take home draft beer unit requiring no deposit or return.  They are perfect for parties and small get togethers.  They hold 2.25 gallons of beer (1 case), fit into your refridgerator and stay fresh up to 1 month once opened.  No need to drink it all in one night.  Pick one or two up at the brewery for your party activities.  We stock most beer styles available at the time.  Call 219-362-7623 for price and availability. 

Back Road Brewery gives free tours every Saturday from 1:00 till 4:00 pm. Central (Chicago) time.   Must be 21 to enter.  We are on the corner of Lake and Tyler streets two blocks north of Lincolnway(HWY 2) in LaPorte.  Must be 21 to enter.  Did I mention you must be 21 to enter?
