Beer Name Style ABV Description
Thirsty Monk 7 Monks Pilsner- German 5.9% The Benedictine monastery in Andechs near Munich, Germany was founded by 7 monks in 1455, and it is believed that even then, they brought the tradition of brewing beer with them. Our ode to the monks that have brewed for centuries, 7 Monks is a dry-hopped and hop-forward German Pilsner, brewed with Andechs yeast. It pours a bright gold with a creamy, smooth mouthfeel. It is dry, hoppy, spicy and floral, with subtle citrus and floral notes from Mandarina Bavaria, Hallertau Blanc and German Select hops.
Thirsty Monk Abby Blonde Belgian Blonde 7.3% A classic Belgian style, named after the owner's daughter and made with Franco-Belges pilsner malt, wheat, and traditional sugar. This slightly hazy, golden brew was fermented with our in-house Belgian yeast strain offering a plethora of flavors that include banana and light clove.
Thirsty Monk Baere Monk Grisette Grisette 4.8% A collaboration with our friends at Baere Brewing in Denver. Baere Monk is an easy-drinking and full-flavored Grisette, brewed with unmalted wheat, early Spring Chit malt, Belgian Landrace hops, and dandelions, picked fresh locally. It pours a hazy golden honey color, with earthy, floral, bubble gum and stone fruit aromas. Flavors begin with spice and rustic graininess before mellowing into a lightly sweet and mildly bittered floral finish. This "young" version is dry-hopped, while a later version is being aged in Cognac barrels to give it some funk and tartness.
Thirsty Monk Brother Joe's Coffee Stout Belgian Stout 7.8% Our Brother Noah Belgian Stout gets a delicious cafe twist in this version, aged on medium-roast coffee beans. Rich, dry, chocolatey notes of Peruvian and Nicaraguan French Broad Chocolate cacao nibs meld perfectly with roasted coffee beans to produce out of this world aromas that are matched by its deep, complex flavors. The origin of the coffee bean differs from batch to batch, giving this beer unique aromas and flavors each time it is brewed.
Thirsty Monk Brother Noah Belgian Stout 7.8% Smooth and decadent, this velvety chocolate Belgian Stout was brewed in honor of the owner's chocolate-loving son Noah, with two different chocolate malts, cocoa powder, oats and a touch of lactose to increase its already full mouthfeel. If that isn't dessert enough, we also added 14lbs each of French Broad Chocolate Peruvian and Nicaraguan nibs to the secondary fermentation. Booming notes of chocolate richness abound with prominent notes of dark fruits. The Belgian yeast brings it together for a drier finish.
Thirsty Monk Cherry Gose Gose 4% Nicknamed our "gateway sour," our Cherry Gose will have you loving this style in no time, especially if you are just getting into tart and sour beers, or if you enjoy a dry and fruity glass of wine. The base is a tart German wheat beer brewed with pilsner malts, coriander and an addition of Mediterranean sea salt. A ruby hue, the bold addition of cherry both enhances and complements its pleasantly tart profile. The perfect patio beer, light and refreshing!
Thirsty Monk CocoNorm Porter- Belgian 6.4% CocoNorm is a Robust Porter brewed with a fusion of dark malts and lightly toasted organic coconut. With a rich toasted aroma and smooth, easy-drinking chocolate and coconut flavors, you can't help but picture yourself relaxing in a tropical paradise, without a care in the world, watching the waves roll in.
Thirsty Monk Easy Gose Gose 3.8% Our Easy Gose goes down easy! This light and sessionable brew is thirst quenching and just tart enough to tempt your taste buds without too much pucker. It is brewed with pilsner and wheat malts, with the addition of coriander and Mediterranean sea salt. Easy Gose pours a light golden hue and is packed full of bright, citrus-forward, and briny satisfaction that will have you craving another.
Thirsty Monk Hazy Monk IPA- American 6.7% There's a whole lot of flavor lurking in the haze of this Northeast-style IPA. Dry hopped with over 7lb per barrel of Eukanot, Mosaic and Mosaic cryo hops to create a juice bomb IPA, pungent and ripe with aromas of tropical and stone fruits. Flavors indulge in fresh, citrus, grapefruit, and ripe mango. Malted oats add a creaminess to the body, and it finishes with a juicy squeeze.
Thirsty Monk Holy Wit White / Wit Bier 5% Water is great and all, but Thirsty Monks prefer to baptize their thirst with beer. And what better spiritual sipper than this quenching, tasty Witbier with hints of citrus and a warming touch of spice. We called upon wheat malts, coriander, orange zest and our house Belgian yeast to create this divine drinking experience. It took a little more than just 7 days to create, but Holy Wit!, it’s good…
Thirsty Monk Past Life Belgian Amber Belgian Amber 5.1% Legend has it, our owner was a Monk in a past life. Inspired by his journey through time, we brewed a beer that transcends the present, pleasing the palates of all who cross its path in this lifetime and beyond. Smooth, mellow and malty, this Belgian amber ale guides you in with entrancing notes of toasted bread, caramel and dried apricot, apple and pear before returning you to the present with an earthy hop awakening. One sip of our Past Life and you'll want to take it with you to your next one.
Thirsty Monk Screaming Monk IPA- Belgian 7.1% Imagine a Monk on the top of a quiet mountain, taking a sip of this beer, and screaming "I Love Hops!" This beer is jam packed with citrus and earthy hops, well-complemented by Belgian fruity esters. Body and bitterness balance to give an experience aggressive enough for the average hop-head, and complex enough for an appreciator of Belgian-styles.
Thirsty Monk St. Brutus Brut IPA IPA - Brut 7.5% Reminiscent of sparkling wine, our dry and effervescent Brut IPA makes use of Galena, Centennial and Amarillo late addition hops, and Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertau Blanc dry hopping, to minimize bitterness and maximize aroma and flavor. This crisp and punchy IPA bursts with notes of of citrus peel, pineapple, tangerine, stone fruits and spice, led by complex aromas of grapes, hay, and earthy, forest air.
Thirsty Monk Trail Monk IPA- Belgian 7.5% Balanced, flavorful, and a beautiful hazy, burnt orange, this Fall Belgian IPA is brewed with the addition of maple syrup, red wheat, and roasted chestnuts, and dry hopped with Cascade, Centennial and East Kent Golding hops. Trail Monk honors one of our favorite seasons --the season of falling leaves, cool mist mornings, and Fall-day hikes. Part of our Karma Series, this beer benefits organizations committed to protecting our trails and national parks.
Thirsty Monk Tricky Monk Belgian Tripel 9% Spice and sweet citrus combine in this bold Tripel, as hop flavors complement its malt overtones. Take care, or this Tripel will trick you into thinking it is a low ABV beer, when in fact, it comes in pretty big at 9% ABV!
Thirsty Monk Wiser Monk Table Beer 4.5% Working for the weekend? There’s a beer for that. This crushable beer is crisply carbonated with mild hints of fruit and spice on the nose, flavors of light grains, and a trace of herbal hop on its clean finish. It’s light and drinkable, so it would be wise to enjoy a few to take you through the week, and get closer to your weekend warrior. This Monk’s for you.
