Beer

The Pilsner is a revered style among brewers, known for its simplicity that hides a complex challenge. Unlike beers that rely on bold ingredients to make a statement, the Pilsner’s beauty lies in its subtlety and balance. Technische (tek•nih•shuh) German-Style Pils embodies this tradition.

With a single type of barley malt and hop variety, water, and yeast, our brewers showcase the essence of true craftsmanship. Each sip is a testament to decades of brewing expertise, delivering a beer that tastes refreshingly familiar yet extraordinarily refined. Prost!

A creamy twist on our beloved M-43 recipe, Raspberry Creamsicle M-43 is lactose-free and bursting with citrusy goodness from the addition of premium natural raspberry and vanilla flavors. Dive into summer with a flavor-packed brew that screams fun in the sun!

To celebrate the upcoming seasons, we have partnered up with our friends at Urban Chestnut Brewing Company the best way we know how... beer!

Tart. Fruity. Aromatic. A beer whirled with succulently sweet and tart peach flavor. Whirled Tart Peach strikes a delicious balance of tart fruit flavor that will tease your taste buds.

The First release in Old Nation’s “New Orthodox” IPA series, M-43 is designed to accentuate the deep and complex character of the combination of Calypso, Simcoe, Citra and Amarillo hops. Citrus and Tropical notes of Pineapple, Mango, and Grapefruit come through in the huge, yet surprisingly delicate aroma. The flavor backs these aromas with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Hop bitterness is not particularly intense, which leads to a very drinkable, New England IPA even non-IPA fans love.

The Haze is not from yeast, but rather from an interplay of lipids from the malted oat and oils and acids which naturally occur in the hand-selected Dry hops. This beer is a perfect interplay between top-grade malt and hops, MI water, and a brewing technique that cannot be faked.

A nice pilsner malt backbone with a touch of Vienna provides balance and a lingering sweetness on the back end with a hint of warming from the higher alcohol content.

At Old Nation, we like interesting questions. For a long time an interesting question to us has been, how can we make a lower ABV New England Style IPA with the same aromatic impact and soft mouthfeel as our higher ABV offerings of the same style? It’s a harder question than you might think, but after two years of experimenting, Low Orbit is our answer.

Using state-of-the-art yeast, timelessly perfected grain, hops from the Pacific Northwest, and traditional brewing techniques, we’ve made a full flavor, full-bodied NEIPA with only 4.5% ABV. It’s our new daily drinker at the brewery and we hope it sits beside M-43 at your favorite table and in your fridge at home.

Boreal means “of the north” and as Michigan lifers, we are always happy to help represent the north to the nation when it comes to unique and drinkable beer, like our Boreal Dry Hopped Lager.

With its crisp & clean lager base, Boreal balances bitterness and aromatic hop notes of pine, orange, and tropical fruit to create a showcase of drinkability.

Rubikon is Old Nation’s interpretation of an “Italian” pilsner with an additional dry-hopping step. This step brings out the herbal, earthy aromas of the hops without imparting any bitterness, and truly adds another dimension to our take on the classic beer style!

The Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany can be described for its history, as the biggest beer fest in the world or in many other ways. For us, it’s a true farewell to summer and a welcoming of fall and winter. Our full, clean, and crisp Oktoberfest lager is like fall sunshine in a glass.

The bread crusty, herbal and balanced feel reminds us of the last mow of the season, the first visit to the cider mill, and the cozy warmth of a fire on the first night of fall. We love this style, and we hope you do, too!

A tart variation of our flagship New England IPA, M-43, Tart Strawberry M-43 has the same taste and haziness you know and love with subtle additions of strawberry aroma, flavor, and tartness to accentuate that addition. With its combination of Calypso, Simcoe, Citra, and Amarillo hops. Citrus and tropical notes of Pineapple, Mango, and Grapefruit come through in the huge, yet surprisingly delicate aroma.

The flavor backs these aromas with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Hop bitterness is not particularly intense, which leads to a very drinkable, New England IPA even non-IPA fans love.

Extraordinarily drinkable, MI,MI,MI is loaded with sweet pineapple and mango aromas which carry throughout. Peach, orange Mimosa, and a piney hop bitterness with fresh bread notes on the solid malt backbone. This is definitely one to drink carefully and responsibly!
