use in fermenting this beer. Some roasted chocolate flavors also come through from
the dark malts in the mash. The name for this beer comes from a character (Dread
Pirate Roberts) in the movie Princess Bride.
Imperial Pilsener: ABV: 7.1%, OG: 18.1, IBU: 65. Think of Imperial Pilsener as a
German Pilsener on steroids; more malt, more hops, more alcohol. We start with
German grown Pilsener malt, add copious amounts of Czech Saaz and German Saphir
hops and ferment it with a German lager yeast. The result is a malty hoppy light lager
with an attitude.

Mango Trail IPA: ABV: 6.5%, OG: 15.8, IBU: 88. We took our Superior Trail IPA and
put it into a cask for refermentation with fresh mangos. The mango flavors highlight
some of the tropical fruit notes already present in the beer from the use of Citra and
El Dorado hops. Delicious!
Grapefruit Starfire Pale Ale: ABV: 6.1%, OG: 14.0, IBU: 70. We start out
with our flagship North Shore style pale ale, loaded with Amarillo and Cascade
hops. Then we add fresh grapefruit and let it referment in the cask. The grapefruit
flavors accentuate the grapefruit notes from the Amarillo and Cascade hops. Very
refreshing, try one and see what you think.

Flat 12 Bierwerks is a production craft brewery located in Indianapolis,
Indiana. Established in January, 2011, Flat 12 offers six house beers, and a
steady flow of original seasonal and specialty beers including Glazed Ham
Porter, and seasonal variations of their Half Cycle IPA. The brewery staff at
Flat 12 prides itself on creativity, and non-traditional takes on many of their
specialty offerings. Many of these beers are made specifically for festivals
where they get tasted for the first time by someone other than a brewery
employee.
The name Flat 12 is derived from the flathead 12-cylinder engine, a
powerful beast of an engine, emblematic of Indianapolis’ turn of the
century rise as an automotive manufacturing and motorsports capital. The
“Bierwerks” Germanic spelling offers a nod to the strong German cultural
influence, felt in and around the city at that same time.
Half Cycle IPA: ABV: 6%, OG: 14P, IBU:104.1. Half Cycle is so named due to its
marriage of American single and double IPA characteristics. A single and double is
half of “the cycle” in baseball, thus the name. Half Cycle is a single IPA with a double
IPA hop bill.

Moustache Ride Red: ABV: 6%, OG:14, IBU: 42.7. Bourbon barrel aged specialty
beer. Our amber ale aged in a bourbon barrel with real vanilla beans. Aroma is
