To see UCBC’s current and soon-to-be-released beers and where you can find them, please check out our offerings below.

Revolution Series: Our contribution to the renaissance of craft beer—brewing artisanal, modern American beers.

Winged Nut, Revolution Series #1:
We affectionately refer to the first beer in our Revolution series of modern, American craft beer, as our unusual little bird. It’s a little on the flighty side @ 5.7% ABV, and it’s a little on the wacky side because we brew it with finely milled chestnuts (genus castanea …for you nut freaks), Willamette hops, and we ferment it with a Bavarian Weissbier yeast strain. All of these nuances contribute to its ‘nutty’ personality. Stats: 25 IBU, 5.7% ABV, 14.5 Original Gravity

Hopfen, Revolution Series #2:
A beer we are describing as a ‘Bavarian IPA’. Brewed and dry-hopped with a variety of Hallertau ‘hopfen’… instead of the usual and more citric hop varieties of most American IPA’s… gives this beer a decidedly German twist ABV- 6.2%, IBU’s- 55, OG – 14.5 Plato

Hopswitch & Hop Switch 2, Revolution Series #5 & #6:
The merits of these two German-style pilsners stand on their own, but these beers were created to demonstrate how significantly you can alter a beer's taste and aroma by simply and only changing (switching) the hop varieties in an otherwise exact same beer. We recommend you sample them side-by-side. Hops: Varities of 100% Hallertau. ABV 5.1%, IBU's - 35, OG - 11.8 Plato

Bären Weisse, Revolution Series #8:
Swirl it, waft it, now close your eyes and think strawberry. Ahhh....there it is! And yes it is subtle, but the "beeren" in this weissbier provide a soft aroma, light sweetness on the tongue , and the combination of strawberry with the wheat beer makes for a wonderfully refreshing summer ale. BTW bears love it! ABV- 5.0%, IBU's-15, OG-11.0 Plato

Old Tjikko, Revolution Series:
Twas the season to 'spruce' up a beer...literally. So we did. OT is an aggressively 'pined', higher ABV, palate smacker that gets its name from the nearly 10,000 year old Norway Spruce living in the climes of Sweden. Like its namesake, this beer is dark, complex and fantastically fragrant. ABV- 6.3%, IBU's - 37, OG - 15.0 Plato.

Hoppy von Pilsmarck (nee Hopswitch 4), Revolution Series:
After much deliberation over the many weird, awesome, and out-ther name submissions for our Uber Pilsner, we congratulate UCBC customer and contest winner, Chris McGreger! Ultimately we decided on "Hoppy von Pilsmarck" because it makes us laugh just enough every time we say it, that it 'balances' this bitter bomb of a beer out nicely. Congrats Chris, enjoy your growler! ABV - 8.8%, IBU's -"Uber", OG - 19.5 Plato

Revererence Series: Our celebration of beer’s heritage ~ brewing classically-crafted, timeless European beer styles.

Zwickel, Reverence Series #1:
Our flagship lager, pronounced ‘zv-ick-el’, is an unfiltered, unpasteurized, German classic that finishes as a smooth-drinking, vitamin rich (from the yeast), naturally cloudy bier. Hops: Hallertau Malts: Two-Row & Pilsner ABV- 5.1%, IBU’s- 19, OG – 11.5 Plato

Schnickelfritz, Reverence Series #2:
The unmistakable characteristics of this Bavarian Weissbier are achieved with a yeast that is decidedly fruity and phenolic. You may note clove, nutmeg or even vanilla and/or banana-like aromas and flavors. ABV- 5.2%, IBU’s- 15, OG – 12.5 Plato

Harwood Myth, Reverence Series #3:
This English-style, brown porter has a nicely rounded, roasted malt flavor. You may detect some cocoa and /or caramel surrounding the bitterness on the sides of your tongue. Malts: Caramel, Chocolate, Two-row pilsner ABV- 5.3%, IBU’s-28, OG – 12.5 Plato

Apotheosis, Reverence Series #9:
This French-style Saison was brewed in collaboration with our good friends at The Royale to celebrate the Feast Day of Louis IX (Saint Louis). There not-so-coincidentally happens to be a statue of Louis IX that sits atop 'Art Hill', which (as you may know) is entitled "Apotheosis", in tribute to our beloved city of St. Louis. Hops: Saaz, East Kent Goldkings Malt: Munich, Pilsner, Wheat ABV - 6.0%, IBU's -23, OG -13.7 Plato

Vaclav Pils, Reverence Series:
Pilsners (also called Pilseners or simply Pils) originated in Pilzen(Plzn) Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic. 'Vaclav', who was first a duke, then a posthumous king and later the patron saint of the 'Bohemian Lands', has had poems and songs(Good King Wenceslas) written about him, so we felt to be perfectly natural to dedicate a Czech Pils in his name too. This particular dedication has a wonderful deep golden hue and full body from the use of Pilsner & Munich malts, and a 'noble' nose and bright finish achieved via a combination of Saaz, Alsace, and Hallertau hops. ABV - 5.3%, IBU's - 45, OG - 12.5 Plato

All of the above beers are either currently (or once were) available in our Taste Room/Biergarten.


Fermentation or To Be Brewed (the following beers are either in the final stages of fermentation or to be brewed. In some cases, like STLIPA, a beer we've already featured but will be bringing back again at some point):

STLIPA, Revolution Series #10:
We pronounce it “sta-leep-ah”… you pronounce it how you like. STLIPA, which is the acronym for St. Louis India Pale Ale, is actually a DIPA (Double or Imperial IPA…i.e., double the stats of a traditional IPA). We hope it’s a ‘sleeper’ that you’ll include in your set of favorite DIPA’s from one of the best beer cities in the world…St. Louis. Hops- Sterling, Cascade, Mt. Hood, Willamette, Chinook. ABV- 8.5%, IBU’s- 100, OG – 18.5 Plato (UCBC Goblet)

The following beers were once available in our Taste Room/Biergarten.

Half Crown, Revolution Series #3:
The inspiration for this beer was to brew a nice 'session IPA': We've basically achieved this by taking a standard American IPA and 'brewing it out' to about half the stats. Dry-hopped with Willamette, Mt. Hood and Cascade hops. ABV- 4.0%, IBU's- 25, OG- 10.5 Plato

TBD or 'Wasandis', Revolution Series #4:
One of our first test batches was and is an unfiltered pilsner, and it was and is in search of a name. Brewed with a healthy dose of several types of Hallertau hops, TBD, 'was and is' an experiment that has ended up quite nicely. ABV- 5.1%, IBU's - 30 , OG 12.0 Plato

Urbanator, Revolution Series # 7:
Is a heavy duty Maibock (May Bock) / Pale Doppelbock (Double Bock). Maibocks are customarily brewed and served in the spring and are oftentimes interrelated with spring festivals and celebrations. ABV- 8.0%, IBU's- 35, OG- 18.5 Plato

Δ Hop, Revolution Series #9:
This unique IPA is brewed and dry-hopped with Delta (Δ) hops, a new American hop variety created from a cross of Fuggle and Cascade hops. The blend of earthy and citrus notes from these parent hops contributes to a very drinkable IPA. ABV- 6.0%, IBU's- 40, OG- 14.0 Plato.

Zucker Weisse, Reverence Series #4:
This relatively light session beer is essentially a Berliner Weisse. Drink it ‘straight’ to appreciate the light tartness… Or repeat these words “Ich bin ein Berliner” and add a bit of fruit syrup. Hops: Hallertau, Perle Malts: Two-row Pilsner ABV- 4.0%, IBU’s- 10, OG – 9.5 Plato

Kleinmanneken, Reverence Series #6:
Our little Flemish 'gnome'- a spicy, fruity, Belgian Dubbel of a little big brother to our soon to be mashed-in Belgian Tripel and Belgian Strong Ale. ABV- 7.4%, IBU's- 22, OG- 17.5 Plato

Kinsale, FES, Reverence Series #7:
Foreign Extra Stout was originated by the Brits, but it has undoubtedly become an Irish –perfected, Caribbean –loved style of beer. Hence the name Kinsale, which is a town in southern Ireland that boasts a sister town of the same name on the Caribbean isle of Montserrat. Initially brewed to withstand the tropical climates of the West Indies colonies, this generously hopped, black beer boasts a high ABV that’s full of roasted malt flavors. Our version leans toward the creamy/sweet side vs. the dry/bitter side. ABV- 7.6%, IBU's- 35, OG 17.3 Plato

Maximilian, Reverence Series #8:
Our Weizendbock is comparable to the barley-based regular Bockbier, but is actually a stronger version of an unfiltered Weissbier. We use approximately 55% wheat malt (German law requires that a Weizenbier, regardless of strength, be made from at least 50% wheat). The other 45% of malts are a combination of Munich, Pils and Caramel. All of which when combined give our "Maifest Special" a full-bodied mouthfeel and a rich, malty finish. Point of fact: while regular Bockbiers are lagers, Weizenbocks are ales. ABV 7.0%, IBU's-23, OG- 16.0 Plato

Schlossturm, Reverence Series #9:
This lightly hopped, copper-colored ale is a style that originated in the norther 'tal' or valley of Germany commonly know as the Rhine Valley. The specific style is Altbier; 'alt' meaning 'old'; referencing the time-honored practice of top-fermentation, which actually results in a fresh (not old) session ale with a slightly malty skew. ABV- 5.0%, IBU's -38, OG -12.0 Plato

Holzrauch, Reverence Series #5: (German for ‘wood smoke’) Is a Rauchbier- a medium-bodied, malt-intense, somewhat smoky style that may have your nose and palate asking your brain, “Where’s the fire?” ABV- 5.4%, IBU’s- 21, OG – 12.8 Plato

Calypso, Revolution Series- Is our "Odyssey" IPA (Greek mythology fans know what we're talking about). Single-hopped with the fruity (some pear, some apple) Calypso hop, this unique IPA is a 'detainment' of refreshment and enjoyably bitter fruit. ABV- 6.1%, IBU's - 45, OG -14.2 Plato

Oachkatzlschwoaf, Reverence Series- Our Oktoberfest bier is a classic Maerzen - malty yet well balanced. A touch stronger and just a hint darker in color compared to what is being served at Oktoberfest in Munich. However, this festbier has a tale and tail of its own. The name for this traditional Oktoberfest beer is Bavarian in origin and translates as "tail of a squirrel". p.s. We named this beer before the famous 'rally squirrel' ever appeared...coincidence....maybe? ABV - 6.5%, IBU's - 23, OG -13.8 Plato

Urban Blacktop, Revolution Series:
We had some brewing this beer. Our malt-bill was conceived via dark and secretive means and we hopped this beer both traditionally and with some fresh Willamette and Sterling hops for Goschie Farms in Oregon. Enjoyment-wise...just as its name suggests, you'll find this beer to be smooth, dark and a little bit 'street'. Stats: ABV-6.0%, IBU's - 40, OG - 13.5 Plato

Pilgrim 7, Revolution Series:
Harvesters rejoice! In celebration of the seasons of 'Reap' and 'Thanks', we introduce this bounty for your table - a sessionable ale brewed with seven (that's right) seven different grains: Oats, Sorghum, Wheat, Barley, Rice, Corn and Rye. The result...a tasty, 'cornucopia of flavors' ale. Stats: ABV- 4.5%, IBU's - 35, OG - 11.5 Plato
