IBU 35 ABV 5.2%

We brewed this German-style Pilsner from legendary Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops, combining their prized floral, spicy notes with the rich, grainy character of premium Bavarian malt, creating a very balanced, flavorful-yet-drinkable lager.

I named this for my Dad, Howard.
Howard was a foundry man at Pelton Steel, Milwaukee, then moved to Waupaca Foundry. Like all foundry men he was a loyal, hardworking and dedicated man, always putting in a full day’s work to earn that nice cold pilsner. To honor him and all hardworking people, we offer our Foundry Water.

IBU 20 ABV 6.1%

A deeply red Czech-style amber lager (polotmavé pivo) brewed with rye and barley malts, with European noble hops complementing rich spicy character. Bold but smooth; complex but drinkable. Na zdraví!

I named this one for my father-in-law, Harold. Harold was a roofer by trade first at Langer Roofing in Milwaukee until he started his own roofing company, Krebs Roofing Inc. He has always been on top of things and a dedicated, hardworking man who enjoys ending many a long day with a cold red lager. His daughters recall him reciting his roofer’s creed, “Red sky in the morning - roofer’s warning, red sky at night - Roofer’s Delight!” Little did we know that works for sailors too! This HINDER has aromas of caramelized malt and roasted grain with a smooth medium to light body and a slightly hoppy finish.

IBU 33 ABV 7.3%
A special new yeast strain unlocks all the potential flavor of a BUTT-load of American hops, creating massive aromas of pine, tropical fruit, and citrus peel which are complemented by toasted wheat and oats, with hop bitterness reduced through “hop bursting” for a very mild, lightly sweet finish.

IBU 36 ABV 9.7%
We made this golden Belgian-style strong ale with a bit of jasmine rice, adding a light floral aroma that converses politely with the complex pear-like esters from the yeast, peppery warming alcohol, and off-sweet malty backbone. Effervescent like a 10-year-old up to no good, strong like a bartender calling for attention, and dangerous like a crank call that backfired.

Badunka-Dunkelweizen Dunkelweizen

IBU 20 ABV 6.2%

We brewed this deep-amber wheat ale especially for Wisconsin’s cool and cold months, combining the familiar clove-like spice character of hefeweizen with a rich, complex malt character. Flavors of baking bread, raisin, plum, and caramel precede a lightly sweet finish. Warm up! Grab a Badunkadunk!

Sexy Flanders is a Flanders Brown Ale inspired by the kind of ski suit that feels like you're wearing nothing at all! We utilized Belgian brewers' yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria to ferment this East-Flanders-style ale, resulting in a remarkably intricate brew characterized by a sturdy malt base rich in caramel and bread flavors, hints of fruit and spice contributed by the yeast, and a satisfying balance of tartness and sweetness in the finish.

Sexy Flanders got us thinking about currves... which inspired us to add currants! Voilà! Curr-vaceous! We fermented this fruited variation on Stupid Sexy Flanders at a warmer temperature and spiked it with fresh black currants, adding additional jammy fruit character and a light purple hue to this malty, tart, complex East-Flanders-style ale.

IBU 55 ABV 9.8%
We infused this big, bold bold stout with freshly roasted cold-brew coffee from Waupaca’s own Java Jive Coffee Company. Park your Keister and enjoy!

Long, long ago, in an apartment very very very very far away, David home-brewed his first schwarzbier, going on to brew this original recipe professionally many, many times (with a few improvements!), including this latest version. Unbeknownst to many, but knownst to us, schwarzbier is a rare German-style dark lager; you’ll find this beer smooth and lightly sweet, not bitter or heavy, with rich flavors of coffee, chocolate, caramel, and toasted malt. If you can read this, you need glasses… of Liquid Schwarz.

Back in the day, Mike was a formidable Falcon wrestler, famous for knocking his opponents on their @$$. He became known as El Extremo! After retiring his tights, he journeyed south in his El Camino Diablo in search of Amor.

A perfect pairing for HH HINDER’s new release of El Extremo Mexican Lager. Salud! El Extremo is a malty, golden, Mexican-style lager dry-hopped with lime-like "Wakatu" hops from New Zealand; perfect for summer quaffing.

IBU 14 ABV 5.3%
We brewed this light-bodied, straw-gold Bavarian-Style hefeweizen (pronounced “Hay-Fuh-Vight-Zen”, and meaning “wheat beer with yeast”) from German wheat and barley malts and fermented it with special yeast, which creates its distinctive banana and clove-like flavors.
