Pink Pineapple Imperial Fruit Sour – 7% ABV 
Hello Summer!! This fruited imperial sour has Pineapple, Raspberry and mango to round out a fun summer sipper. 

DDH 755 HBC586 – DDH IPA – 6.8% ABV 
Our Favorite Fog Dog gets some extra love with an extra dry hop of a new experimental varietal that we’ve become rather obsessed with as of late, HBC 586. In addition to the first two of our hand selected Azacca, Amarillo & Citra. Saturated Salutation from our house to yours.

Trust the process – DDH DIPA (Yakima Chief Hops Collab) – 8.4% ABV
We were recently lucky enough to have some of the team that runs Yakima Chief’s hop pellatizing facility out to make a beer with us. They were instrumental in the creation of CRYO concentrated hops product, which we used with reckless abandon to help us get as much of that oil saturation we know and love into the beer. We based the hop bill off what they were most excited about from the last harvest: Idaho7, Idaho7 CRYO, Simcoe, Simcoe American NOble & Just a dash of Sabro. Sometimes you don’t ask why… Just trust the process.

It is meant to be enjoyed with your longtime friends, new acquaintances and cherished loved ones.

Warheads Extreme Ales

Warheads® Extreme Sour  Ales are made in collaboration with Impact Confections, the makers of Warheads® candies. Just like the candy, these beers are sweet, sour, and crushable pint after pint!

Warheads Extreme Seltzer Sour candy hard seltzers made in collaboration with Impact Confections, the makers of Warheads® candies. Like the sour ales, these sour hard seltzers were created to be true to the candy, but still drinkable by the pint which required a delicate balance between drinkability, sourness, flavor, and sweetness. The hard candy has three distinct sensory phases – extreme sour, flavor, and sweet. Our Warheads® Hard Seltzers seek to match the point when the Warheads® candy transitions from the sour phase to the flavor phase. These hard seltzers are refreshing, sweet, sour, and totally unlike any seltzer you’ve had before!

About Burley Oak:

Our name Burley Oak Brewing Company was derived from the name of the town, our traditional brewing methods, and the history of our brewhouse. It just so happens that our building was originally a Cooperage making oak barrels to fill with local produce and seafood to ship off to nearby areas in the early 1900’s. We have been hard at work building Burley Oak keeping in mind sustainable practices and using local ingredients and craftsmen, and are proud of our barley and wheat that is grown only 15 miles away. Our goal is to produce distinctive beers whose quality is unsurpassed using new and traditional brewing methods.

All of All of Us – IPA 
Orthodoxy is usually limiting, wherever it pops up. IPA is no exception. Hazy IPAs must be straight juice, malt sweetness, no bitterness. West Coast IPAs must be hard-edged, super bitter, and piney. We need to free our minds, people! All of All of Us is one vision of the future for IPA. Hazed, yes, but more as a byproduct of hop-loading than as an intentional aesthetic. Juicy and tropical, absolutely, but blended productively with old-school hops chosen carefully to lend a balance of pine and citrus to the picture.

Vienna Lager
Crisp and malty amber lager brewed in the Viennese tradition for maximum drinking pleasure. Toasty but not heavy, with a well-balanced hop profile, Vienna Lager is truly “beer flavored beer” for those who enjoy, well, drinking beer.

Fairstate Pils
A German-style pilsner, dry and crisp with a grassy hop aroma from a large kettle addition of Hallertau Mittelfrüh. One hop, one malt, lager yeast. Simple and delicious.

Roselle – Sour 
Roselle is infused with hibiscus flowers at flame-out, lending the beer it’s citrus flavor, ethereal fragrance and deep pink color.

Heated Agreement Hazy DIPA
Heated Agreement is a thing that happens to all of us—you find yourself in what feels like an argument, but you’re actually just agreeing with someone over and over, at an elevated volume. This DIPA is the liquid equivalent of that. Fermented with an insane yeast that produces abundant tropical aromas, and hopped to the gills with our Perrault Farms Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, and some choice Idaho 7. Think freshly bottled Sprite mixed with some funky tropical chewing gum, overlaid with a waft of dankness.

Big Doinks IPA  
Extra dank IPA with the stickiest of hops available

IPA #20 

How much Citra can we put in one IPA? We decided to find out and bring it to you in the latest of our IPA Series! We used FOUR different types of Citra hops for a beer that showcases everything we love about one of the craft beer world’s go-to hops. Regular Citra combines with Citra CRYO, Citra INCOGNITO and Citra SPECTRUM for sweet, fruity aromas of bright grapefruit and orange citrus, with flavours of lemon meringue pie combined with juicy tropical fruits. 

Dark Fruit Citrus – Fruit sour This beer is dark, tart and uses our award-winning Prophets and Nomads as the base! With a cloudy midnight coloured pour, the first sip is surprisingly sour but full-bodied with berries. The Himalayan Sea Salt and Coriander give this beer a through-line of salinity and dry finish.⁠
