Our Brews

Our mex-i-rita beer with salt fresh lime juice and serrano peppers is the perfect summer quencher at the end of the day’s adventure.

Oktoberfest is just around the corner, but we can’t let go of the dog days of summer just yet! We still need that summer anthem though, so what can we do while we’re pining for our lederhosen? We were getting tired of the wobble anyway so move over VIC! We brewed this delicious hefeweizen and we’re bringing back the Schuhplatter! Dust off your haferlschuhes and get tuned up for Oktoberfest while you sip on this delicious light german weisse beer with notes of clove and banana. Prost!

This Blood Orange and tangerine hazy pale will make you go bananas! Citrusy hops Crystal, Sterling, and Citra hops are like smearing marmalade on your orange, and washing it down with a big glass of OJ. Orange you glad we made this delicious pale ale just for you?

Amber ales are light- to medium-bodied and can be anywhere from light copper to light brown in hue. Flavor wise they can vary from generic and quaffable to serious craft brewed styles with extravagant hoppy aromas and full malt character. Typically amber ales are quite malty but not heavily caramelized in flavor.

We promptly named this crushable lager to commemorate the Romero family & our new brewery. Our new location at 1151 Greene St. home of the beloved Romero Family Restaurant. Although George & Lucy were famous for their margaritas, we’re more famous for our beer, so we brewed up this crushable 4.7% lager with German pilsner malt, nextamalli (hominy), hallertau perle and sterling hops. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! We look forward to seeing you in our new location on Greene Street.

Hardrock 100 Strawberry Rhubarb Gosé (pronounced G-oh-suh) is a tart and salty style of wheat beer that hails from Leipzig Germany. This is the Avalanche Brewing Co.’s first Sour Beer. The tartness of rhubarb is a perfect combination to the Gosé style. The salt provides electrolytes making this beer a great thirst quencher on a hot summer day. Enjoy!

I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to beer than being ridiculously good looking, and we plan on finding out what that is. Hefty amounts of oats and wheat add a chewy full body and late hop additions and a double dry hop locks in citrus and stone fruit character. Because Hops are the essence of hopiness, and hopiness is the essence of IPA. Hansel’s Hazy IPA, so hot right now.

Charles Fischer was Silverton’s first brewer in 1884 and at one time his Fischer Pilsner was notorious state wide for its quality and crisp flavor. Fermented cold, we use the finest German Pilsner malt, a blend of German and American hops and showcase our number one ingredient, pure snowmelt, to give this beer a taste that’s “as pure as the waters that flow down these mountains” as Fischer once said.

This light balanced pale ale, features malt contributions from biscuit, honey & vienna malt. Unmalted wheat lends a creamy mouthfeel. Citra and sterling hops add a touch of lemon citrus to compliment, but not overpower the malt.

Dark Beers do not have to be heavy. This is a surprisingly drinkable dark ale with pale chocolate and dehusked carafa II. The result is not so much bitter as smooth and full of rich chocolate flavor. Perfect for the end of a long day, we have a double entendre for this beer. Its our tribute to the mining heritage of Silverton and the long hard days and brutal conditions that the hardrock miners endured in the darkness of the portal. It is also our tribute to Silverton’s favorite dive bar, the Pride of the West (or the POW) that burned down in April 2011, where we shared many a drink and good time after a long day of work or play.

One of our brewers and owners, Austin spent quite a lot of time on hop farms during harvest in Colorado and Idaho! One of the best things about hop farms is the massive quantities of perfectly ripe hops that permeate the air everywhere! We wanted this beer to taste like jumping into a bottomless pile of hops. We used seven different hop varieties to create a complex hop flavor in the beer! The result is a balanced and powerful assertion of American super hops Citra, Mosaic, Super Galena, Chinook, Crystal, and Meridian. The hop character in this beer looms over it, just like the peak of Sultan looms high above Silverton at 13,368.
