SPecialty & SeasonAL

Starveil Saison

10/1/2018

0 Comments

 

6.6% ABV || 22 IBU

A one of a kind style and seasonal beer of Belgian origin, brewed for harvest time primarily in the French-speaking regions of Belgium by and for their farming community. The unique yeast strain, the combination of malts, and the unusual fermentation temperatures this complex beer is spicy, somewhat fruity and light bodied with a quenching bitterness. The aromas and flavors are enhanced by letting this beer warm slightly. South Shore Brewery’s version celebrates Wisconsin farming culture and the hard-working folk who chose the agricultural way of life.

5.5% ABV, 22 IBU

Light in color and malt character. Our interpretation of this style’s fermentation process and ingredients yields a well-balanced beer with a crisp non-aggressive noble hop profile. Very much like our Inland Sea Pilsener, this beer is brewed with a very significant portion (87%) of our locally grown base malt, yet will have its own distinctive flavor profile from the ale yeast used in fermentation.

Oktoberfest

9/17/2018

0 Comments

 

5.5% ABV || 19 IBU

A beer entrenched in a storied tradition, the style was coined by a legend in German brewing, Gabriel Sedlmayer, to be offered at this time of late September and early October. The Oktoberfest itself was first conceived in 1810, not as a beer festival, but rather to commemorate the wedding of the Crown Prince of Bavaria. Nonetheless, our interpretation carries on the coincidental tradition. A medium strong, malty, amber-red lager beer whose maltiness is carried in the bouquet more than in its body. It is full of a sweet spiciness from the Munich and caramel malts used. It is cellared for an extended period of time to complete the traditional methods, this, in turn, gives it a smooth, rounded, well-blended palate. We encourage everyone to ceremoniously consume.

Vieille Pomme Ale

9/12/2018

8.2% ABV

Brewed last September in the form of our Applefest Ale, this ale has transformed into something quite spectacular. Vieille Pomme (Old Apple) starts off just like any other batch of Applefest ale, with loads of local honey and fresh apple cider. After primary fermentation, the real fun began. We back sweetened this batch with more local honey then split it into two. Half of it making its way into Heaven Hills Bourbon Barrels with a strain of Brettanomyces, and the other half remaining in a secondary fermenter with an English cider strain. After aging for about 8 months we blended the two back together. The resulting ale has big notes of tart apple, cherry, and some barnyard funk on the nose. The light body of this ale gives way to wonderful hints of apple, light cherry, a spiciness, and a very small hint of oakiness followed by the warming sensation of bourbon. This ale finishes very dry and slightly tart. Very limited amount of this beer will be available, so grab some while you can, you won’t want to miss out!

Fermented Forest Series: Applefest by Bizy Does It.

6.3% ABV, 18.1 IBU

Inspired by Bayfield’s renowned Apple Festival, which is celebrated with extraordinary fanfare. South Shore Brewery adds to the fanfare with the Applefest Ale, which honors those diligent folks that call our Bayfield peninsula their home, especially those who have chosen an agricultural way of life. Combining the flavors and aromas of locally produced honey, apple cider, and specialty malts, we have produced one of the most unique products, to be sure. Because of the generous amounts of honey, the special maturation process with the apple cider, and the unique flavors of malt, this brew is indefinable in conventional beer terms. It has characteristics of beer, mead, and champagne. Our brewer encourages you to cellar a bottle or two for special occasions.

Slow Surrender: Session IPA

8/21/2018

0 Comments

 

4.9% ABV, 37.4 IBU

​Just like our Wisconsin Pale Ale this beer is mostly comprised of locally grown barley and features Wisconsin Centennial and Cascade hops. While this beer shares those aspects with our WPA, it is a much tamer beer.  This golden straw colored beer has grapefruit and citrus aromas pouring out it, while the light malty body gives way to the bitterness of the hops.  A truly easy drinking IPA, that can be enjoyed all day.

Island Hopper IPA

8/8/2018

0 Comments

 

6.6% ABV 46 IBU

​This light colored IPA features our Wisconsin grown two-row base malt and very little specialty malt. A unique yeast strain ferments this ale at very warm temperatures, giving off flavors reminiscent of pineapple.  Azacca, named after the Haitian god of agriculture, is the only hop in this IPA and has tropical notes of mango and papaya.  Both the yeast and hops led to this hazy blonde IPA that reminds the brewers of a tropical fruit smoothie. Enjoy!

Witbier: Belgian White

7/26/2018

0 Comments

 

5.0% ABV, 13.3 IBU

​At this time of year, the traditional emphasis is on beers with a light body and a refreshing crispness. As with most wheat beers, the relatively high protein content leads to haze, giving the beer a light golden color. Historical evidence suggests that these beers were once intensely sour, and although modern examples tend to be dry, few are more than lightly tart. The lightness of body from the wheat and a firm tartness from the hops, bitter orange, and yeast offset perfectly the smoothness of the oats and the sweetness of the sweet orange, making this among the most refreshing of beer styles.

LILITH BERLINER WEISSE

3.7% ABV, 6.4 IBU

​A traditional German sour wheat ale.  Using close to 50% wheat this beer is straw in color with a refreshing tartness and effervescent nose.  The sourness in the Lilith is derived from lactic acid production from the introduction of two strains of lactobacillus.  Flavored syrups can also be added to give this refreshing beer more depth and drinkability.

Try with fresh blueberries!

Belgian-Style Tripel

6/19/2018

1 Comment

 

9.5% ABV, 38 IBU

Characterized by a complex, spicy, phenolic flavor. Yeast-generated fruity banana esters are in the background. Pale/light-colored ale may finish sweet, though any sweet finish can be light on the palate. This beer is full bodied with a hop leaning balance with the malt. Brewing sugar was used to lighten the perception of body. Its sweetness will come from very pale malts. You will perceive the alcohol strength and flavor. The head retention is dense and mousse like.
