Year-round Goat Island beers
Richter’s Pilsner
Pilsner · 5.6% ABV · 30 IBU
Inspired by German and American brewing traditions, this beer honors the German immigrants who founded Cullman. German Pilsner malt provides a clean, grainy malt flavor, while German hops add crisp bitterness and refreshing balance. A two-time Alabama Craft Beer Championship gold medalist and second-place Best in Show winner.
Big Bridge IPA
IPA · 6.0% ABV · 50 IBU
An intense burst of hop flavor and aroma brings notes of citrus zest, mango, and apricot without added fruit. A sturdy malt backbone balances the hops and keeps the finish from becoming overly bitter.
Sipsey River Red
European Red Ale · 5.5% ABV · 32 IBU
A gold-medal Alabama Craft Beer Championship winner with an amber-red hue and German hop aroma. Caramel and toffee malt flavors are balanced by subtle noble-hop notes for a medium-bodied, approachable ale.
Peace, Love & Hippieweizen
Hefeweizen · 5.0% ABV · 13 IBU
A hazy golden wheat beer fermented with German hefeweizen yeast. Light and refreshing, with notes of freshly baked bread and banana, it pairs well with food and fun.
Duck River Dunkel
Bavarian-style Dark Lager · 5.5% ABV · 19 IBU
This smooth dark lager is all about the malt, with a medium body, bready backbone, and dry finish. It earned a silver medal at the 2018 Great American Beer Festival.
Thrill Hill Vanilla Porter
Baltic Porter · 7.0% ABV · 23 IBU
Dark, decadent, and surprisingly drinkable. Vanilla aroma mingles with caramel, chocolate, and coffee flavors over a smooth malt foundation.
Blood Orange Berliner Weisse
Berliner Weisse / Sour · 5.5% ABV · 5 IBU
As beautiful as it is refreshing, this orange-pink sour combines a bright, tart flavor and lush sweet-orange aroma with a smooth wheat-ale backbone.
Goatopia Juicy IPA
Juicy IPA · 6.2% ABV · 23 IBU
A hazy, fruit-forward IPA with a full body, creamy mouthfeel, and low bitterness. Citrus, peach, and passion-fruit notes come from generous additions of distinctive hops.
Goat Island Blonde
American Blonde Ale · 4.9% ABV · 17 IBU
Rounded, smooth, and refreshing, this approachable American blonde ale was created in collaboration with the Alabama–NW Florida Section of the PGA.
Flagships and seasonal favorites
Oktoberfest
Märzen · 6.0% ABV · 30 IBU · August–October
