The Beers:
49’er Red (American Amber):
Known simply as Red Ales in some
regions, these beers were popularized in the hop-loving Northern
California and the Pacific Northwest areas before spreading
nationwide. Medium, full-body ale, with a soft malty sweetness,
followed by moderate caramel flavors. Late-hop additions give
that distinct West Coast hop aroma and flavor. ABV 5.7%

Boomtown IPA (American IPA):
An American version of the
historical English style, brewed using American ingredients and
attitude. Boomtown IPA is brewed with Nugget, Zythos, Columbus,
and Chinook hops. It is well-balanced between malt and hops with
a fresh hop aroma of citrus, and pine, and subtle tropical fruit notes
in the background. These same characteristics come through in the
flavor, balanced by a light malt character to let the hops shine
through. After all, this is a West Coast IPA. 6.5% ABV.
Gold Trail Pale Ale (American Pale Ale):
Originally, a
draft-style ale, served very fresh under no pressure (gravity or hand
pump only), at cellar temperatures. English pale ales were
originally brewed around the start of the 20th century and became
widespread once brewers understood how to successfully use crystal
malts to add a fullness and roundness of the palate. This beer produces
a nice up-front maltiness followed by a clean-dry finish. Hops
include both the familiar cascade hops, for a citrusy, West Coast
twist, combined with and a generous addition of traditional English
Fuggles hops, for an earthy/floral balance. ABV 5.7%
Old Miner’s Scotch (Scottish Export
80/+):
A traditional Scottish
session beer with less hops than it’s English counterparts, malt is the
predominant flavor in this old-world beer. Long, cool,
fermentations are used in Scottish brewing to create a clean malty
beer. The malt-hop balance is tilted towards the malt side with
enjoyable caramel/toffee notes which come from kettle caramelization,
induced by a lengthy boil, and not the commonly used caramel
malts. ABV 4.7%
Axe Pic’n Stout (Dry Stout):
The style evolved from attempts to
capitalize on the success of London porters, but originally reflected a
fuller, creamier, more “stout” body and strength. When a brewery
offered a stout and a porter, the stout was always the stronger beer
(it was originally called a “Stout Porter”). However, today’s dry
stouts are brewed from a lower OG and no longer reflect a higher
strength than porters. This beer is a medium-full body, with a
creamy character. This delightfully dry beer supports a rich
coffee-like flavor with a bittersweet character lasting well into the
finish. Dry enough to be enjoyed in the summer as well as the
winter. ABV 5.1%
Hank’s Porter (Honey Porter):
Originating in England, porter evolved
from a blend of beers known as “Entire.” A precursor to stout; this
beer is said to have been favored by porters and other physical
laborers of 19th Century England. This beer is a medium body dark
beer with an enjoyable quality. The delightful chocolate
flavors are complimented by the rich coffee flavors and nutty
overtones. Hank’s Porter, named for the founder of Gold Hill
Brewery, offers a surprisingly dry finish making it as easy drinking on
a warm summer day as a cool winter evening. ABV 6.7%
