More intense than the original, DDH Boss Tweed uses cryo hops to amp up the flavor and aroma of this Michigan classic. A nice pilsner malt backbone with a touch of Vienna provides balance a lingering sweetness on the back end and a hint of warming from the higher alcohol content.

Solace Black Lager is surprisingly delicate and easy to drink, even though at first it appears dark and heavy. Its palate has a hint of roasted malt, while the aroma carries a smooth blend of natural mandarin zest, dark spices, and the cozy sweetness of speculoos cookie flavors. 

It's the perfect fireside companion for a chilly fall night with familiar spices lingering in every sip.

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.

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.

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.
